Nigerian Preacher arrested after being accused of beating, robbing and raping escorts he met online

A Nigerian man who claimed to be a preacher has been arrested after being accused of beating, robbing and raping escorts in hotels across Washington DC. Gabriel Omogbo of Hyattsville, Maryland, is charged with attempted first degree murder, armed robbery, first degree assault and reckless endangerment.

Police believe that the 33-year-old used the website Backpage.com to find female escorts & arranged to meet up with them.

 

According to WJLA, the first two attacks happened at the Best Western Plus Hotel in Rockville and on both occasions he is accused of raping and stealing from two women he had met online.

A third attack took place at the Radison Hotel in Rockville, where he is accused of threatening a woman with a knife.

He ordered the woman to take off her clothes before reportedly telling her 'You are going to die today.'

He then beat her, cutting her arms, legs and hands and stole her iPad, cell phone and $300.

The woman survived and told police that before he fled the hotel room offered her a glass of water. 

He was arrested after police traced CCTV footage from the hotels as well as collecting DNA evidence from each of the rooms.

CCTV footage showed a man matching Omogbo's description wearing blue jeans and brown loafers entering and leaving the hotels at the time of the attacks.

Omogbo is now being held at Montgomery County Correction Facility on a no bond status. He will next appear in Court on January 8 and could face life in prison.

According to his Facebook page, he preaches at the Celestial Church of Christ in Riverdale and is a former student at Bowie State University.

He also works as a security guard and currently lives at home with his parents.

‎"You didn't talk about Buhari not being received by the French president at the airport or any of their top government officials. He was embarrassed you know. He even trekked to the arrival to enter a car from the Nigerian embassy. No presidential car was provided by France sef!"

Former President Goodluck Jonathan not attacked - Police

The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Asinim Butswat, of The Bayelsa State Police Command has debunked reports that former President Jonathan was attacked in his state. According to him, a group of hungry youths mistook a convoy of the former President for one of the governorship candidate on electioneering ahead of the December 5 election.

They followed the convoy perhaps for alms, only to discover it was that of Jonathan. When they realized this,  the youths, who had followed him up to his house in Yenagoa, pulled back and ran away. Security operatives however ran after them and arrested some of them. They did not attack the convoy and no weapon was found on them.

Italian school headmaster resigns over Christmas

63-year-old Marco Parma, headmaster of Garofani school in Rozano near Milan has been forced to resign after he cancelled all Christmas festivities so as not to hurt non-Christians and non-religious sensibilities. He proposed a January 21st non-religious 'winter concert' instead.

His indulgent political correctness however backfired after he came under fire from the prime minister and even Muslim parents. Italy's prime minister, Matteo Renzi (pictured above) who labelled the move a "big mistake" said:

"Debate and dialogue doesn't mean drowning identities in an indistinct & insipid form of political correctness. All Italians, both non-religious and Christians, will never give up Christmas.

A Muslim parent at the school, Mahmoud El Kheir - who is originally from Egypt - said: "Who are us Muslims to say what can happen at an Italian school? We are guests in this country. I hope the public understand that the decision was not made because of a request by Muslim parents".

His wife, Laila Magar, said their twins, Fatma and Yassin, took part in Christmas celebrations at the school and sang "traditional Catholic songs" with the other children. 
"Why create a problem that doesn’t exist", she said.
