Ronke Shonde Buried Yesterday, as Police Charge Husband For Murdering Her With 'Blow to the Head'

 Tears flowed at the Atan Cemetery in Yaba, Lagos state, as the remains of 36-year-old Ronke Shonde, who was allegedly killed by her husband, Lekan, were buried on Friday.

 The small group of mourners at the sight made of her family and close friends, could not hold back their tears as the deceased’s first child, aged six, suddenly let out a cry when Ronke was lowered into the grave.

 The children were said to have earlier taken a gaze at the remains of their mother at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, but the reality of her death struck as she was laid in the earth.

The solemn ceremony, lasted only about 15 minutes.

Ronke’s mother was left at home, while her uncle, who owned the publishing company where she worked before her death, was said to have traveled abroad.

No family member or relation of her husband was present at the burial.

It was gathered that the corpse left the LASUTH mortuary around 2pm and was conveyed in a hired hearse.

As the hearse bearing her body arrived the cemetery, a pastor from the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Destiny Sanctuary, where Ronke worshipped at their home in Egbeda, called for the singing of a hymn. His sermon thereafter lasted just few minutes.

 Everybody initially held back their emotions while the homily lasted until the deceased’s first child led the gathering in a flood of tears.

 Meanwhile, an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrate Court has ordered the remand of alleged wife killer, Lekan Shonde, in prison for 30 days. Lekan was arraigned yesterday morning on charges of murder by the police. He is alleged to have killed his wife, Ronke Shonde at their Egbeda flat and fled.

The charge reads: “That you Shonde Olalekan, on May 5, 2016, at about 2030 hours at No. 3, Tiemo Street, Egbeda, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did kill one Ronke Shonde, ‘F’ age 37, by giving her fist blow on her head, and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 221 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.”

When he was asked if he understood the charge, Shonde asked for the last paragraph to be re-read, after which he replied, “I didn’t kill her.”


The case was adjourned till 24th of June.

 Popular Nigerian singer, 9ice, has stated that marrying one woman is unfair to women in general.  He also disclosed his wish to have many children from different women.

 The singer said  “We have more women currently. If one man marries just one wife, other women will be useless". 

 According to Daily Post, 9ice made this disclosure in an interview with Ebony Life TV.

“I’m a product of a polygamous family that is why I am also productive; because there are more women than men, it would be unfair if a man marries one wife.”, he said

Recall that the single father currently has four children from three women; his ex-wife, Toni Payne has a boy, Victoria Godis has a set of twin for him while his latest girlfriend, Sunkanmi Ajala has a daughter for him.

"Ibinabo Got What She Deserved For Banning Me From AGN" - Shamed Actress Says

 Nollywood actress - Christabel Goddy, may be new in the industry but she already knows how it feels to be in the middle of a controversy.

 She is the actress who allegedly bit off the skin of her colleague, Princess Chineke, during a fight some months ago. Since then, she has been dubbed the ‘cannibal actress,’ a name she says she detests.

Christabel spoke with Saturday Beats in a new interview and lashed out at the then Actors Guild of Nigeria president, Ibinabo Fiberesima, who banned her from AGN and allegedly supported actress Chineke.

 According to Christabel, she did not kill anybody, Ibinabo was accused of killing somebody and she was walking on the street, bragging before the law caught up with her.

 I believe that it is because she passed a wrong judgement against me that God is punishing her. Her ban against me was flimsy and uncalled for even though it has been lifted by Emeka Ike.and for that, Ibinabo got what she deserved in her latest crisis.

Christabel swore  she did not bite Chineke as she recounted her ordeal. Trouble she said started when they were paired together to share a room during a movie production.  Chineke had repeatedly complained about her (Goddy) frequent midnight calls and one night, it led to a bitter fight leaving both parties injured.

After they were separated, Goody claimed Chineke went into the bathroom only to come out claiming that Goody grabbed her thigh with her teeth and bit off a chunk of her (Chineke’s) flesh.

She told Saturday Beats:

“Due to the nature of our profession, we don’t get to check our phones till we are done with shooting at night. That is when most of us have time to tend to our missed calls and messages. The actress had always complained about my phone calls but I found it amusing because I don’t speak loudly on phone. The hotel had a club and that also made so much noise so how come it was my phone call that was disturbing her sleep? 

Often times, she had complained but this fateful day, I got into the room and saw that she was sleeping on my side of the bed making phone calls, I waited till she was done then I told her to go to her side of the bed because we had our sleeping arrangement. She became belligerent towards me and began to insult my father. I told her to stop but she did not. Before I knew it, a fight ensued. She pushed me and I almost hit my head on the mirror before people came to separate us.

“By the time I would check my body, I had finger nail scratches everywhere and a bite mark on my hand although it was gradually fading. She went to the toilet and came out only to claim that I bit her. There was no blood on the trousers she wore or on the floor; neither was there blood on my cloth but she claimed that I bit her.

“I am not a cannibal; I have never eaten a human flesh in my life. I feel sad when I read that they call me a cannibal but I am a very strong person. If you are innocent of something, with time you would be vindicated. I am happy that people who have had to relate with me know that I am a peace-loving person,” she said.

The actress told Saturday Beats that nobody heard her side of the story yet they dubbed her a cannibal and Fiberesima placed a ban on her.

Even though the ban has been lifted by the current president of the association, Emeka Ike, Goddy said it was quite “irresponsible” of Ibinabo to ban her in the first place without hearing from both parties.

She said:

 “My only regret is that I indulged her and I am not proud of it. But then with my age and the little number of years I have spent in the industry, I should be excused. Politicians fight every day, so I don’t see why I should be buried. I did not kill anybody. Ibinabo was accused of killing somebody and she was walking on the street, bragging before the law caught up with her. I believe that it is because she passed a wrong judgement against me that God is punishing her. Her ban against me was flimsy and uncalled for even though it has been lifted by Emeka Ike.

“I was in her office and she told me that I was a very decent young lady from the way we were chatting, my lawyer was there and I am quoting her verbatim. She told me not to worry that the matter was just a fight between two people.  She advised that I work on my temperament. She said that she would settle the matter and reverse the ban. She even went as far as taking me to the stadium where they had their veteran football competition and introduced me to the chairman, board of trustees and some directors. As she was introducing me, some of the men told me that I didn’t look the part of a fighter and that I should be more careful next time and avoid people who would trigger my anger. She promised the man that she would take control of the situation.

“She asked me to come to her office the next day and I was there with my lawyer, we waited for seven hours but Ibinabo refused to see me. She gave a flimsy excuse that the other actress was not available because she went to treat her wound. My lawyer was of the opinion that the other girl did not have to be there, that all Ibinabo should have done was to reconcile us and reverse the ban she placed on me. She is certainly paying for the wickedness she meted out on me because God does not joke with me. I don’t go about looking for trouble; I live a very private life. I am not a saint but I try my best to help people.”

'I Don't Plan To Transfer Any Money To My Children' - Billionaire Reveals

 Russia's 2nd-richest man, Mikhail Fridman, whose net worth is $13.3 billion according to Forbes, is to leave his children out of his will. The businessman said he wants his children to create something on their own.

"I'm not a big fan of such public statements, but I can say that I am going to transfer all my money to charity. I don’t plan to transfer any money to my children,” Fridman said, responding to a question from the audience at the Forbes club.

 He says giving a young person large amounts of money risks ruining his life. He also doesn’t want his children to participate in his Alfa Group business.

Fridman said he wants his children to follow his footsteps and create something of their own. Another reason for that is that he doesn’t want his elder daughter Laura, who is now 22, to become a focus of people with bad intentions.

The tycoon added that the same decision was made by his business partners. Fridman has four children. The youngest is 10 years old, the eldest is 22.

In 2016, Forbes Russia estimated Fridman’s wealth at $13.3 billion; he is ranked second among the richest Russians. He is the principal owner of Alfa Group, which includes Russia’s largest private commercial bank Alfa Bank, X5 Retail Group that has a chain of supermarkets in Russia, A1 TV Channel and the LetterOne investment holding.
