9-Year-Old Girl Gives Birth To Baby Boy

A girl became pregnant in Mexico at the age of just eight.

The girl, now nine and named only as Dafne, has just given birth to a baby boy in Jalisco state, Mexico.

The father of the baby is a boy of 17 - who the girl's mother says is missing after running away.

Jorge Villasenor, with the state prosecutors' office, said: "We are looking for the young man to get his story because she does not understand what has happened.

"This is a rape or child sex abuse case."

The baby girl was born on January 27 in Zoquipan Hospital, weighing 5.7lbs.

Mother and daughter have been released and are doing well, but due to Daphne's age the hospital said it would have to do extensive follow-up sessions.

BREAKING: LAPD Reportedly Shot Two Women By Mistake

By Nicole Flatow

Los Angeles police reportedly shot and injured two women delivering newspapers by accident while on a search in Torrance, Calif. for a former fellow officer who is suspected in several shootings. A second shooting was also reported involving Torrance police officers, but there were no known injuries. The Los Angeles Times reports:

The women, shot in the 19500 block of Redbeam Avenue, were taken to area hospitals, Torrance police Lt. Devin Chase said. They were not identified. One was shot in the hand and the other in the back, according to Jesse Escochea, who captured video of the victims being treated.
It was not immediately known what newspapers the women were delivering. Television images showed the blue pickup riddled with bullet holes and what appeared to be newspapers lying in the street alongside.
Local, state and federal authorities are involved in a massive search for Christoper Jordan Dorner, 33, a former Los Angeles Police Department officer who threatened “unconventional and asymmetrical warfare” against police in an online manifesto, and was suspected of shooting three police officers, one of whom died, early Thursday in Riverside County.
Dorner also is suspected of killing a couple in Orange County earlier this week.

The officers involved in the shooting were reportedly on protective detail for an officer named in Dorner’s manifesto. Both shootings occurred while the victims were in their vehicles, which officers said looked like the vehicle Dorner is suspected to be driving.
During a press conference today, a representative from LAPD said Dorner has multiple weapons at his disposal, including assault rifles.

"It's Not All About Skill" – Keshi Says About Dropping Odemwingie, Martins, Taiwo

Stephen Keshi says he is vindicated for dropping the 'big boys' from his squad to the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.

The Big Boss, as he is fondly called, excluded the likes of Osaze Odemwingie, Obafemi Martins and Taye Taiwo and picked players like Emmanuel Emenike, Sunday Mba, Ahmed Musa. Keshi watched his preferred crop on Wednesday, progress to the final of the competition and insisted it was not about skill, but efficiency.
"Most Nigerians didn’t understand, it’s not only skilful players that can do the job for you in a tournament. You want the mentality to be strong, you want team players, people that can really work for the team," Keshi said after the 4-1 victory against Mali.
"Beyond that I know there’s a lot of potential for this team but it’s going to take a while to build and for them to understand the style I want them to play."
Keshi blamed his team’s slow start in the tournament on fatigue and the fact they had not properly gelled before they left for South Africa. However, in the past few games, he says he is beginning to see more fluency.
He said: "When we started it was a little bit difficult because we were just coming together for the first time. I knew coming into the tournament, the first two, three games might be difficult because of fatigue.
"But there’s a lot of concentration and high level of discipline in camp and the atmosphere has been wonderful, everything has fallen into place."
The last time Nigeria won the AFCON was in 1994, and Keshi was the skipper of the side. The former Togo manager, says both sides cannot be compared.
"That squad took five years, this one is only five weeks old. We’re just growing, don’t think we’re there and we can’t lose a game. Sometimes things go up and down, we’re still adding and subtracting. If I see any player that is very good and provides something tangible for my team, I will bring him in," he affirmed.

CAF suspends Tunisian referee who handled Ghana vs Burkina Faso

By Ifreke Inyang

The Confederation of African Football (CAF), has suspended Slim Jedidi, who handled the controversial semi-final match between Ghana and Burkina Faso on Wednesday.
However the body will have to look at the Tunisian’s match report on Friday, when CAF‘s executive committee meets, to determine if Jonathan Pitroipa’s red card can be rescinded.

“There is a meeting tomorrow (Friday) but you have to understand that the referee’s report is final and so if he doesn’t make mention of having made a mistake, it stays that way,” CAF Secretary General Hicham El Amrani, said at a press conference on Thursday afternoon.
“The other referee Bennett (Daniel) mentioned in his report that he made a mistake in issuing out a yellow card to the wrong player, which is why the yellow card was rescinded in that instance.”
Burkina Faso have already filed a complaint with CAF over the midfielder’s sending off.

Varsity Students Litter Sexy Photos In Enugu Hotels For Prostitution

As prostitution continues to increase in Enugu, some students of various universities and higher institutions who engage in the illicit trade have littered sexy pictures in big hotels in Enugu in order to get high profile customers.
The correspondent gathered that the students even demand a bribe from some of the officials of the hotels scaring them to display their pictures. A source disclosed to Leadership that the students’ aim of keeping the almost nude pictures in hotels was to seduce people who lodge in the hotels daily.
An official of one of the hotels who spoke to Leadership on condition of anonymity, stated that the students initiated the strategy to enhance their proceeds from prostitution.
He disclosed that once any lodger indicates interest in any of the students, “we contact them immediately with the numbers they gave us.”
It was further gathered that the officials of the hotels draw the attention of lodgers to the sexy pictures of the girls to know if they will indicate interest to meet them.
Leadership further learnt that the decision of the students to keep their pictures in hotels followed incessant raid of prostitutes’ hide outs in different parts of Enugu by security operatives.
Besides the sexy pictures, the students also lobby to be ushers in political occasions to enable them sell their bodies to wealthy men.
Meanwhile, Leadership gathered that security operatives have continued to arrest prostitutes in their hideouts.

Christ Embassy pastor apologises for failing to resurrect dead boy

Relatives of the woman who invited her Christ Embassy Church members during the funeral wake of her 15-year-old son in an attempt to “resurrect” the boy have said they have no problems with the church after its leadership apologised over the incident.
In an interview, a relative of the boy Tatenda Dick said a three-member delegation, led by a Pastor Glorious, visited the family to apologise following an all-night vigil in which some members of the church attempted to “resurrect” the boy. The “resurrection” prayers were reportedly conducted with the blessing of Tatenda’s mother, Ms Germa Machingauta.
“The church leader, Pastor Glorious, came with his team and apologised to us. They told us what they believed in and the reasons why their members conducted the resurrection prayers. They indicated to us that there were no satanist motives and that their prayers were genuine, as they attempted to bring back the boy to life. We have understood them and accepted their apology,” said a relative, who chose not to be named.
The relative said they respected freedom of worship and beliefs and allowed the Christ Embassy team to conduct their “resurrection” prayers.
“When sister Germa (Ms Machingauta) told us that she had received a phone call from her church members to the effect that the boy would resurrect, we were all puzzled, but we could not stop her and her church members from conducting their prayers, as it was to her best interest,” said the relative.
Efforts to get a comment from Pastor Glorious were fruitless yesterday. When this reporter visited the church offices along Main Street in Harare yesterday morning, some of the church members said Pastor Glorious was busy preparing for a church service.

When this reporter visited the church offices later in the day, he was also denied access to Pastor Glorious, who was said to be busy giving counselling sessions to other church members.
“Today is a busy day for Brother Glorious you can leave your contact details. He will get in touch with you, but not today,” said a lady who was at the front office.
Ms Machingauta refused to comment when contacted.
“I will not comment any more over this. I have no comment,” she said
Meanwhile, a senior member of the Christ Embassy Church who spoke to our news crew described the move by three church members who tried to pray for the resurrection of Tatenda as being overzealous.
“These guys were just overzealous. It was a matter of miscalculated faith. One of them was supposed to receive an instruction from God before they could go and conduct their prayers. They were just clueless of whatever they were doing. It was a trial and error,” said the church member.
Mourners were left speechless on Monday last week when three pastors from Christ Embassy Church went into a room where Tatenda’s body lay in state before they started conducting “resurrection” prayers.
The prayers, which extended to Tuesday morning, could, however, not yield any results, as the boy was buried later in the afternoon. Only close relatives attended the burial as the majority of the mourners had dispersed because they could not buy the “resurrection” story.

Emenike: Africa's Brightest, Most Controversial Talent

Arsenal, Reading and Liverpool have all been linked with Nigeria striker Emmanuel Emenike. Though Emenike may have said he is concentrating on his contract in Russia, but he was quick to add being linked with a move to the Premier League is a dream come true.

On the streets of Nigeria is not Spartak Moscow shirts the fans wear, but Liverpool and Arsenal among others, two of the very clubs linked with his signature after his excellent African Nations Cup.
Emenike scored a 30-yard free-kick against the Ivory Coast in the side's 2-1 quarter-final win, before striking again from another set piece against Mali in the 4-1 semi-final win, taking his tournament tally to four.
And to think Arsene Wenger claimed Gervinho was the best player at the tournament.
Nigeria are a long way from the days of the Super Eagles side which boasted Jay Jay Okocha and Nwankwo Kanu, but if Emenike can give his nation an AFCON win over surprise package Burkina Faso in the competition's final, he will be writing his name in history.
Not to be confused with World Cup '94 forward and former Barcelona player Emmanuel Amuneke, Nigeria's present day hero has a fascinating story to tell.
Now 25, his controversy dates back a decade, back in his homeland when he was arrested for kicking a football at a policeman.
It wouldn't be his first brush with the law.
After failing to earn a salary in his homeland, he took the decision to move to South Africa. His performances were enough to earn him a move to the Turkish second division side Karabukspor. He would become an almost instant hero.
In his debut season he bagged 16 goals, including two hat-tricks. It saw the Blue Flames promoted as champions, earning a contract extension and winning individual accolades in the process.
His first season in the top flight saw him carry on where he left off, scoring 14 times in 23 games, including another hat-trick. By now the big sides were beginning to take notice.
In May 2011 he was signed up by Turkish giants Fenerbahce for £7 million, but little did he know he would never play a single game for the club.
For he would quickly become embroiled in a match-fixing scandal which saw Fenerbahce banned from the Champions League for a season. Despite not playing a game, it was alleged Emenike was one of 13 players approached regarding bribery.
It was alleged that Emenike missed Karabukspor’s clash Fenerbahce because of an injury he did not have. Shorn of their star man Karabukspor lost game 1-0, allowing Fenerbahce to win Turkish league title. It was further alleged Fenerbahce then signed him as repayment of that debt.
Five months after signing for Spartak, Emenike was officially charged with match-fixing by the Turkish authorities. A trial began last May, and after shunning several summons, he eventually traveled to Istanbul to answer the charges, and was officially cleared in July.
Over in Moscow, life was going swimmingly, if not without controversy. Emenike scored 13 in 22 games, including five in two matches against rivals Lokomotiv Moscow, and earned his side European qualification.
At the season's end, with his match-fixing trial still ongoing, Emenike got himself into trouble twice. The first many would say was largely unavoidable, after suffering racial abuse from rival fans he reacted by making gestures back at supporters, and ended up being fined by the Russian FA.
The second incident was all of his own making. After scoring a goal against Zenit, he was red-carded after making an 'obscene' gesture towards the opposition bench, which saw him tap him own arm as if making a heroin injection. He denied this, saying it was lost in translation as it was a private message for his family, but by now trouble had got a habit of finding the striker.
On the pitch this season, Emenike has been brighter than ever. He scored the fastest goal in Russian Premier League history, netting after just 10 seconds, on the very first day of the new campaign.
He also made his Champions League debut, most interestingly of all, Spartak were drawn against his former club Fenerbahce in the qualifiers, with the match taking place just one month after his match fixing acquittal. Naturally Emenike scored, in a 3-2 aggregate victory for the Russians.
In the tournament proper, Emenike played twice against Barcelona, setting up one goal, and scoring twice against Celtic, even if Spartak would lose all four games he featured in. With five goals in the Russian Premier League this season too prior to leaving to the AFCON, the 25-year-old is a man on form.
A pacy, powerful striker with heading ability, athleticism and a fierce shot, Emenike has all the attributes needed to be a success.
Will Premier League clubs judge Emeike to be worth the hassle? Looking at his talent on the pitch, they may just take a gamble.
