Apparently if you’re a drug dealer, a great way to push your product is to link it to Ebola. Or maybe it’s not.
Police arrested Barnabas “Hammer” Davis’ Monday after finding more than 600 packets of heroin, according to NBC10.com’s Dan Stamm. Some of the packets were branded “Ebola,” because that’s a thing now.
Police also found some 40 grams of crack cocaine in Davis’ Ramada Inn room in Toms River, New Jersey. Stamm has more on Davis’ charges: Davis was charged with heroin and crack cocaine
possession with the intent to distribute. He remained at Ocean County jail Wednesday, unable to post $300,000 bail.
Davis had reportedly been pushing heroin to “customers” in the hotel’s “rear suites.”
The Ebola stories just keep getting crazier.lol!
The dogs that viciously attacked 4 year old Omonigho Abraham inside his compound in the Igando area of Lagos state on September 25th.
The Lagos State Police Command paraded the two German shepherd dogs yesterday at its headquarters in
Ikeja, Punch reports. According to the police, the dogs were paraded “so that the public would be convinced that they were still in police custody, and had not been released as was being rumoured.”
Speaking about it, the Commissioner of Police, Cornelius Aderanti, said; “We have brought the dogs out so that the public would know that they are still in police custody.
They have been examined and they show no negative trait. It is only the court that will decide what happens to them. The police cannot decide to
kill the dogs.”
The little victim, Omo, had asked that the dogs be killed but the police say it’s up to the courts. Meanwhile the owner of the dogs, Stanley Wesley, was arrested and arraigned in court for negligence but has since been granted bail.
The clip, posted on YouTube, shows a mother struggling to run a fine-toothed nit comb through her daughter’s coarse locks, which appear to be filled with white and green creepy crawlies.
As the camera focuses on the comb, countless squirming lice are revealed.
Dr Alejandra Perotti, a lecturer at the University of Reading’s School of Biological Sciences, identified the
infestation as head lice – and said she was shocked at the severity of it.
She told MailOnline: ‘They [infestations] are very common in the UK and in Europe, but not to this level. ‘I work in forensic sciences and these types of cases are found in cases of neglect of children or the elderly. ‘You also see it in cases of homeless people.’
Head lice, also known as pediculosis capitis, are tiny insects that live in human hair, which grow to the size of a sesame seed.
Former beauty queen confirmed that she is indeed in a romantic relationship with the “ada ada” hitmaker.

A Texas college is receiving criticism for sending rejection letters to Nigerian applicants stating that, “Unfortunately, Navarro College is not accepting international students from countries with confirmed Ebola cases.”
The letters appear on official Navarro College letterhead and are signed by the two-year college’s director of international programs, Elizabeth A. Pillans.
There have been no confirmed new cases of Ebola in Nigeria since September 8, according to NBC News. Tuesday, however, saw the second confirmed case of the disease amongst Texas healthcare workers. There are a reported 75 healthcare workers at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital who helped treat Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian man who died of Ebola on October 8. The CDC and local officials are currently monitoring these individuals for signs of infection.
In a post on the college’s website, the school attempted to explain its actions, writing:
Our college values its diverse population of international students. This fall, we have almost 100 students from Africa. Unfortunately, some students received incorrect information regarding their applications to the institution.
The post goes on to explain the mistake by saying:
As part of our new honor’s program, the college restructured the international department to include focused recruitment from certain countries each year. Our focus for 2014-15 is on China and Indonesia. Other countries will be identified and recruitment efforts put in place once we launch our new honors program fall 2015. We apologize for any misinformation that may have been shared with students.
A Los Angeles bus driver has been indefinitely suspended without pay for stopping her LAX shuttle to snap a selfie with star comedian and actor Kevin Hart. A video captured of the incident shows Hart taking a number of photos with fans at the Los Angeles airport.

According to a special news report carried an online news portal, Constative.com, thousands of Nigerians are languishing in Ghanaian prisons in humiliating and indignity and have called out on the Nigerian government to come to their aid or many of them will die ignominiously.
The report paints a very bleak picture as the site tells the pathetic story of one of such prisoners who have cried out for help. The inmate claims that the Ghanaian authorities single out Nigerians for humiliation and degrading treatment just because they are Nigerians and trample on Nigerian citizens at every little provocation.
It also reports that some of the inmates are jailed for as much as 130 years and they are currently undergoing untold hardship in the country.
This is the pitiful letter written by of the prisoner narrating all they are going through:
My name is Emmanuel Emeka, a prisoner in Ankaful maximum security prison, Cape Coast, Ghana. I’m serving a jail-term of 130 years imprisonment and I’m presently in my 8th year. We appeal to the Nigerian government to please come to our aid. The condition here has been so unbearable for (we)
Nigerian prisoners in Ghana. We need to reconnect with our families. The Ghanaian police are fond of arresting innocent Nigerians, giving them high sentence of 50 yrs, 70 yrs, 100 yrs, 150 yrs to 200 yrs. Most of us have spent 8 yrs, 10 yrs, 15 yrs, 17 yrs and 20 yrs
inside prison and some have died inside the prison without completing their jail-term. Our families are in the dark, they really don’t know what we are facing. We’ve spent a lot of money trying to appeal in court, but all is to no avail.
Within my 8 years in prison, I have witnessed over 100 deaths of Nigerian citizens in the Ghana prison and most of their families are not even aware. They still keep the hope of their return without knowing they are dead and buried with no rites. We appeal to the government of Nigeria to please act on our behalf so we won’t continue to perish in this peril.
There are many Nigerians in all the 46 prisons in Ghana that need help from the Nigerian government. Also the media, kindly keep spreading the message until it finally grips the attention of the able government. To fellow citizens of Nigeria, our brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers, please continue to pray for us and do what you can to return us back home.
Another sad part is that most of us are on sick bed, no drugs for us. This is the unseen hardship Nigerian citizens in all the prisons in Ghana are facing and myself inclusive. I’ve been sick for the past 2 months and they have not taken me to the hospital or give me any drug. They treat us like animals, they give us dry garri everyday, no access to communication. I know how I suffered to get this phone to send this message to you. Please, on this message, lies the survival of about 800 to 1000 Nigerian prisoners in the 46 prisons in Ghana who are in this type of high sentence. Help us spread the message to all the four corners of Nigeria to make campaign for our freedom because that is the only hope left for us. Please spread this message so that it will get to the right quarters.
She was violently stripped naked and beaten senseless by a mob of women on a busy shopping street … but the police never came.
Indeed, nobody intervened as Lin Yao Li, 38, was kicked in the groin and breasts as she writhed screaming in
agony on the pavement. The reason, onlookers said, was that it was an
‘argument of the heart’ – she didn’t deserve help because had slept with another woman’s husband.
It is only the latest in a number of similar incidents in which it seems there is placid acceptance in Chinese
society of such humiliation, as long as the victim is seen as deserving in having caused a man to cheat on his
partner.
Two escaped cows were killed by marksmen, while a third animal found dead seven hours later following a large- scale search involving a police helicopter in Norwich
Two cows that escaped from a market have been shot dead during a seven-hour stand-off with armed police, who scrambled a helicopter to hunt down a third runaway animal.
Officers were sent to hunt down the cattle after they escaped from Norwich Livestock Market as they were being loaded on to a lorry by their owner, on Saturday afternoon.
One of the escaped cows was filmed by Joe Copson, 20, a student who was travelling in a car in the area.
Armed officers were sent in to shoot the cows, with the agreement of the owner in the “interests of public safety”, Norfolk Police said.
The third escaped cow, which managed to evade capture by police, was found dead in nearby woodland at around midnight.
