Ghanaian Lady Arrested With Cocaine Worth $5m In London

Ghanaian lady arrested with cocaine at London Heathrow Airport.

A Ghanaian Lady that has been identified to be Nayele Ametefeh, also known as Ruby Adu-Gyamfi or Angel was arrested with Cocaine in London on the 10th of November 2014. The Ghanaian big girl was busted trafficking 12 kilograms of cocaine worth £3.5 million ($5 million) through the London Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom.

Ametefeh was suspected and arrested by the UK Border Agency at Heathrow’s Terminal 5 after it was confirmed she was carrying 12 kg of grade A cocaine on her. In her possession were three passports that included a Ghanaian diplomatic passport, as well as an Austrian passport. She traveled on a business class through a British Airways flight Number BA 078 from Accra to London.

While reports said she traveled with the Ghanaian diplomatic passport, Ghanaian authorities says she traveled on her Austrian passport. They have also denied allegations that Nayele Ametefeh owns a diplomatic passport and claims she only has an ordinary Ghanaian passport.

“It is worthy of note that Ms Nayele Ametefe travelled on Austrian passport number P4187659 and not on Ghanaian Diplomatic passport as being speculated. She also had in her possession an ordinary Ghanaian passport number G0364497 issued on 3rd August, 2012,” the statement that was signed by Richard Nii Lante Blankson, NACOB’s Deputy Executive Director said.

According to reports by several Ghanaian media, the smuggler owns an electrical shop at Dzorwulu in Accra and it is called Night Angels. The shop is said to be adjacent Relax Court Hotel and above a UBA Bank. The alleged shop sells home lightening appliances such as electric bulbs and chandeliers, as well as decorative ceiling-mounted light fixture.

The drug trafficker was charged to court the following day after her arrest, Tuesday, November, 11th, 2014 for attempting to smuggle a class A drug into the UK. She is currently in custody and will reappear at the Isleworth Crown Court next week (27th of November 2014).

Woman From Hell In Police Custody, Tortured Baby Not Dead

Update on the tortured baby from Uganda.

A woman from hell who happened to be a babysitter in Uganda that was captured on security cameras abusing a young child has been arrested and is currently in police custody. The video showed the young woman that has been identified to be 22-year-old Jolly Tumuhiirwe from Rukungiri District kicking, stomping, walking over, and dragging the young child on the floor because she was feeling unwell and threw up on the floor after eating. (Read the first article and video about the gruesome assault here). Above left is a picture of the tortured baby.

After the disturbing video was released yesterday, several reports alleged that the baby was dead as a result of the severe torture. But according to reports by the investigator, the baby is still alive and the woman from hell babysitter is currently in police custody.

According to the reports, the shocking video was released by the child’s father who has been identified to be one Erick Kamanzi, a loaded staff at a reputable NGO in Kampala. Mr. Kamanzi came home to see there were bruises on the hind of his less than two years old baby but did not confront the maid to ask what happened to his child. Instead, he went to investigate the security cameras that were installed in the house. This took place on Saturday the 15th of November 2014.

On reviewing the footage, he discovered the shocking abuse that has been meted on his young and defenseless child. Enraged by what he saw, he went on to beat the woman from hell babysitter to a pulp and turned to tend to his assaulted child.

Tumuhiirwe (the woman from hell) then ran to the police where she made an assault case against his boss (Kamanzi) for beating her.

Kamanzi was then arrested by the cops and the father confessed to committing the crime he was arrested for. He then asked the police to take a look at the video and see why he had to beat the babysitter the way he did. On seeing the footage, Kamanzi was released and Tumuhiirwe was arrested and charged yesterday under the anti-torture Act at Nakawa Court.

CP Fred Enanga who confirmed the arrest says they are contemplating upgrading the charges and turning it into attempted murder. Tumuhiirwe (the woman from hell) will re-appear in Court on the 8th of December 2014.

The evil babysitter has been named by many as the monster babysitter from Uganda. She lived and worked with the family for about 3 months before the incident took place. (Update: the family said she was less than a month with them. About 3 weeks.)

Below are the photos of the tortured baby and her sibling. In one of the photos is the father, Kamanzi, and his two lovely children. On the right is the 18-month-old girl that was abused by the maid.

American singer, dancer, and actress, Beyoncé Knowles has released the video to her new single, “7/11”. The song is the sixth single from her self-titled album that came out last year and went platinum with no publicity. The video is very different from her usual work as there is no glamorous makeup, costumes, or professional choreography and editing . Instead, it looked more like a home made video that was shot with a mobile phone and the singer was looking more like the girl next door.

In the video, the multiple award winner was seen having lots of fun and working out with her girls. At one point, the Crazy in Love singer picked up the camera and pointed it at herself, mimicking the popular ‘selfie’ style of photography. The video was shots in an apartment and some other places that looked like an average hotel.

At the time of posting this article, the video that was posted to YouTube yesterday has received almost 3 million views. The star entertainer’s latest album has sold over five million copies globally.

Woman From Hell Slaps, Kicks, Stomp On A Child For Throwing Up

A woman from hell housemaid was caught on video slapping, kicking, and stomping on the back of a little girl for throwing up on the floor while she was babysitting her. The disturbing video shows the woman giving the little girl the first slaps on her face while she was feeding her. The abused child may not be more than one or two years old. (See UPDATE here)

After feeding the child, the woman from hell was seen eating while the little girl seemed like she was choking or feeling uncomfortable and threw up. And that was just enough for the woman from hell maid to unleash pain on the innocent and helpless little girl. She slapped her on the face, threw her violently on the floor and started kicking, stomping on her back, and walking over her. She also used a strong object in whooping her butt while the innocent and defenceless child was crying – then, the babysitter from hell dragged the child on the floor like she was a piece of sack or rag.

According to Big Eye Uganda, the tortured child is the daughter of a Ugandan Middle-Class family. The article was titled, “Shocking Video of Ugandan House Maid Torturing Baby To Near Death.”

@OrtegaIan shared the video on his Facebook wall with the accompanying text, “As you go around making money, leaving your kids with the maids, house girls, whatever. Just be sure you are leaving your kids with the right person. Otherwise, your kid may be suffering at the hands of a psychopath both physically and emotionally….. Let’s just SHARE this video.”

With the beating and stomping, the innocent little girl received, the possibility she may suffer from internal injury is high. This is not the first time incidents of nanny abusing the children they’re minding is surfacing. The #WomanFromHell video on YouTube is titled as girl mercilessly beating a child and several other headings.

Bill Cosby is currently on fire as new rape allegations against him have surfaced. The latest to accuse the comedian of rape assault is American model and television host, Janice Dickinson.

Speaking about when Cosby drugged and assaulted her, Dickinson said, “After dinner in my room, he had given me wine and a pill and the next morning when I woke up I wasn’t wearing my pyjamas. I remember before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted by this man.”

According to her, the last thing she remembered after being drugged was seeing Cosby dropping his robe and climbing on top of her. “I remember a lot of pain”.

She went on to say she was driven to a life where she was trying to hurt herself because the feelings of rape that has been unresolved in her life.

Bill Cosby has refused to comment or make any statement about the accusations that has been levelled against him. However, his attorney has issued a statement in the weekend where he stated his client was not going to dignifying responding to a “decade-old, discredited claims of sexual abuse with a response”.

The new allegations started after American comedian, Hannibal Buress repeated called Cosby out accusing him of being a rapist during a show and the footage went viral.

“Yeah, but you rape women, Bill Cosby, so turn the crazy down a couple notches. I’ve done this bit on stage and people think I’m making it up…. when you leave here, Google ‘Bill Cosby rape.’ That sh** has more results than ‘Hannibal Buress.”

Barbara Bowman has also accused Cosby of abusing her in an article she wrote for the Washington Post earlier this month. In the article, she asked why it took 30 years for people to believe she was raped by the comedian.

“Why wasn’t I believed?” she asked. “Why didn’t I get the same reaction of shock and revulsion when I originally reported it?”
