Busted! The lady with three boobs lied...the boobs are fake!

Remember the lady who said she got a third boob implant to scare men away? (read here) Well, she lied. The boobs are fake - a 3 breast prosthesis. TMZ just exposed her. In today's world, some people will do almost anything to be famous. See the TMZ reports below...

The woman claiming to have 3 boobs is a fraud, a fake ... and ironically what exposed her lie is a crime someone committed against her.Jasmine Tridevil has been making the rounds, claiming she got plastic surgery to net her an additional boob.  But we got a document from the Tampa International Airport Police Dept. describing a baggage theft. According to the doc ... someone stole a bunch of luggage off an American Airlines conveyor belt, including a black nylon roller bag.Cops caught the thieves after IDing them with surveillance video.   The black bag belonged to Tridevel, but before she got it back it was inventoried by police as part of the case against the crooks.Guess what was inside the bag?  "A 3 breast prosthesis." BTW ... she told cops the prosthesis was valued at $5K.The boobs are perfect, but she's a little crooked.

Photos: 55 year old armed robbery gang leader paraded in Lagos

A 55 year old man named Chief Jude Dike (pictured above) who police say is the sponsor and leader of a 7-man gang was today September 23rd paraded alongside six other members of his gang at the Lagos state police headquarters in Ikeja.

The others paraded were; Joel Eghon, 38, Solomon Igwe, 32, Ifeanyi Onwuegbuchi, 34, Emmanuel Ifeanyi, 34, Ejike Emegwo, 31, and Leonard Afoaku, 39. See more photos after the cut...

 

According to PM news, Chief Dike, a resident of Ajegunle, confessed to being the sponsor of the robbers by providing them with weapons for their operation and facilitating the sales of whatever they steal from any of their operations.

Speaking on how they were arrested, the State Commissioner of Police, Cornelius Aderanti said on September 20th, information got to him that some armed robbers who had earlier snatched a Toyota Hiace bus around Ebute Metta were planning another operation. He immediately instructed men of the State Anti Robbery Squad, SARS, to chase after the robbers. They were arrested and the stolen Toyota car recovered.

Also a Barretta pistol with serial number P17531 and ammunition were recovered from them. When interrogated, 55 year old Dike confessed to the crime saying he got into the business by accident and continued because it was very lucrative. The suspects will soon be charged to court, according to the police....

APC lawmakers walk out of session in protest over $9.3m smuggled to SA

There was major drama in the House of Reps today September 23rd after APC lawmakers staged a walk out during a session in the House after a motion to debate the $9.3m smuggled into South Africa by two Nigerians on behalf of the Federal Govt on September 5th was denied by PDP lawmakers.

According to reports, the APC lawmakers had moved a motion through the the House Deputy Minority Leader, Ismaila Kawu to debate the matter on the floor of the House but the motion was stopped after a voice note called by the deputy speaker, Mr Emeka Ihedioha went in favor of the majority PDP members.

After the walkout, the Minority Whip leader, Samson Osagie spoke on behalf of APC members...

He said;

�For us as a people and for us as lawmakers, we find this unacceptable, unethical, illegitimate and in our view, it is an illegal transaction. Nigerian government owes the Nigerian people an explanation as to what that source of money comes from and the purpose for which it was made. If indeed, the matter involves security issues like the purchase of arms by foreign government like Nigeria, why was the South African government not brought into the picture before hand and how could South African government be sure that the arms were purchased legitimately by the Nigerian government and not by the insurgents when there were no officials of the NSA�s office or the Director of state security department that accompany such money?�

Defence HQ responds to story on alleged release of Chibok girls

According to the earlier report, which the Nigeria military has since denied, two Toyota Hiace buses carrying girls suspected to be Chibok girls this afternoon drove into Maimalari Barracks, the headquarters of the 7 Division of the Nigerian army in Maimalari with heavy security...but the military is now saying the bus load of individuals were not Chibok girls

Breaking: Defence HQ says Chibok girls were rescued, then withdraws statement

Found this breaking news report on Premium Times. Apparently the Nigeria military said today that some schoolgirls abducted from Chibok town in April this year had been rescued by Nigerian troops only to retract the statement minutes later. Read the report below...

The Defence Headquarters has retracted its earlier statement confirming the rescue of the abducted Chibok girls. The spokesperson for the defence headquarters, Chris Olukolade, had told Premium Times that a yet unclear number of the girls had been freed and driven in two Toyota Hiace buses to the Maimalari Barracks, the headquarters of the 7th Division of the Nigerian Army in Maiduguri. But less than 30 minutes after he spoke to us, Mr. Olukolade called back to say he was withdrawing his earlier statement.

He said he had been having difficulty establishing contact with his colleagues in Maiduguri and that he was no longer sure that the girls driven into the barracks were newly rescued. Mr. Olukolade had told this newspaper the girls had been freed and that the rescue exercise was still ongoing and that appropriate statement would be made later. Premium Times has also learnt that the girls driven into the Maimalari barracks were those who escaped earlier from the Boko Haram sect. The over 200 girls, mostly teenagers, were kidnapped from their secondary school in Chibok, Borno State, on April 14. With the military withdrawing its statement, it now does appear the girls are still in captivity

Maltina Dance All 8: Curtain Falls for Oladapo, Nwaeze Families

The curtain has fallen for the Oladapo and Nwaeze families as they became the second set of families to exit the ongoing Maltina Dance All (MDA) family dance show. They were evictedafter being put up for possible eviction from the �Rhythm of Naija� and �New Age� dance performances. They now join the Leonard and Maisamari families who left the show last week.

The three judges - Muyiwa Oshinaike, Jeffery Page and Comfort Fedoke - had carefully deliberated on the families that will be put up for possible eviction. 

The Uzodinma and Utere familieshad earlier been selected for possible eviction alongside the Oladapo and Nwaeze families who were selected for possible eviction after their below the bar performances at the various performance shows. The four families had to come back on stage to finetune their routinesin the �Rhythm of Naija� and �New Age� dance performance to maintain their slots in the academy.

After the Rhythm of Naija the �dancer of the night� was Jane from the Uzodinma family. The dancers of the night stand a chance of selecting the order of performance for the next dance style in the academy.

The Oladapo family on hearing their name as one of the families up for possible evictionfor the second time came on stage promising to fight their way back as they assured the judges and the audience that they will come back the next day to give their best and maintain their spot in the academy.But, they were unable to impress the judges with their performance at the eviction show down which earned them the way home.

Senior Brand Manager Maltina Mr. Wole Adedeji said Maltina Dance All is one way among many that NB Plc is restating its brand values. �MDA is about the dancer�s creative ability, knowledge of different dance styles, stamina and fitness. The task is no doubt enormous but it is a delight to see the result it has been producing in the last 7 seasons. Some of the dancers have taken their career further than the Maltina Dance All stage; while some are dancing locally others are doing it internationally�. He revealed.

The Maltina Dance All season 8 winning family will now take home N10 million while the first and  second runners up will take home N3 million and N1million respectively. The show is in tune with the brands promise of �Sharing happiness,� creating excitement, fun and nourishment for the entire family, it is equally a reality show where families strive to outdo each other by showcasing different types of dance steps and styles to compete for the star prize.
