(PHOTOS) Nak*d Marriage: Couple Get Married Completely Unclad At Bizarre Wedding Ceremony In Newzealand

For most brides and grooms, deciding what to wear on the Big Day is one of the most important parts of wedding planning. But one New Zealand couple didn’t have to shop for wedding outfits — because they got married in the Unclad.

Nick and Wendy Lowe were married at the Wellington Naturist Club on Saturday in a “clothing optional” wedding, reported local newspaper The Dominion Post. About half of the 120 guests were Unclad. Both clothed and Unclad photos were taken, and though guests were asked to dress for dinner, the dancing portion of the event was clothing optional.
Nick encouraged Wendy to embrace the “naturism,” or nudist, lifestyle six years ago.
“It was one of the first things he said to me: ‘I’m a naturist, how do you feel about it?’ I knew at some point I’d have to at least try it,” Wendy said.

Wife of House of Reps Member Accused of ‘Messing Up’ 2 Women

Wife of a serving House of Representatives member was fingered yesterday in the torture, beating and alleged attempt to kidnap two ladies in Isale Eko area of Lagos.

Sources say that yesterday morning at about 7.15a.m, a Toyota Camry car which was used for the operation caused a stir in Bamgbose Street in Lagos Island at the heart of Lagos metropolis.
Like a bolt from the blue, six unidentified ladies, carrying canes came out of the unregistered grey coloured car and advanced towards No 101, Bamgbose Street.

The unmasked ladies met one Alhaja Basidat Ajadi Balogun, a business woman resident in the street and repeatedly flogged her as she wept. (The woman pictured above)
Balogun, who was shouting at the top of her voice while the beating was going on, tried without success to find out from the rampaging ladies why she was being beaten.
According to a resident of the street, who pleaded not to be mentioned, while the severe beating was going on, Alhaja Jolaade Batola, wife of an influencial legislator, a House of Representatives member, representing Mainland federal constituency, was seen seated, inside the unregistered Toyota Camry car and giving orders to the lady on what to do to their victim.
The Nigerian Compass on Saturday, further learnt that the rampaging ladies planned to take the business woman away but for her resistance. The boot of their Camry was thrown open, while the woman in the car ordered the ladies to drag the woman and throw her into the boot.
Independent checks at the Lion Building police command however showed that the matter has been reported there even as our correspondent on Friday traced the battered business woman to the General Hospital, who was receiving treatment.

Though she was initially reluctant to speak with The Nigerian Compass on Saturday, when she opened up, she said she was standing outside her resident, talking to a tenant, when the six ladies, unknown to her, accompanied, by Mrs Batola arrived the place and began to beat her up.
She however insisted that she does not know the reason why the ladies beat the hell out of her, insisting that she was not close to the wife of the House of Representatives member. “Though Alhaja Batola owns a shop on the same Bamgbose Street, we are not really close. Though I do greet her,” said the victim.
The woman whose body was full of scares from the beating put the cost of her medical treatment as well as some of jewelries she was wearing when she was attacked at N600,000, and confirmed that but for the residents, who mobilised and confronted the ladies, she could have been kidnapped.
Inquiries at the Lion Building police station, in Lagos Island revealed to our correspondent that the case have been filed. The woman was asked to get a police report on the incident, a police source disclosed.
Attempts made to see Alhaja Owolabi Batola for her comment on the incident proved abortive as her shop located on the same Bamgbose Street was not opened yesterday.

Woman Accidentally Texts Police Officer About Drug Deal

Jessie Mulligan allegedly texted a message to a narcotics detective offering drugs for sale.
Now she may have to trade in her cell phone for a jail cell.
Deputies in Nevada County, Calif., arrested Mulligan on Friday after she allegedly tried to arrange a drug deal with a friend through a text for fentanyl, an opiate similar to morphine.
The message was actually sent to a narcotics detective who decided to take her up on the offer and arranged a meeting, according to 14NewsOnline.com.
She was arrested and charged with three felony counts, according to Nevada County Sheriff’s Dept. spokesman Lt. Steven Tripp.
“She was surprised. She probably felt a little bit silly that she had contacted law enforcement,” Tripp said according to CBS Sacramento.

Tripp adds that the officers appreciated the tip.
“When we get calls from criminals saying, ‘Hey, do you want to buy something?’ and it happens to be stolen, or of a criminal nature, sure, absolutely it makes our job easier,” Tripp said.
Mulligan’s mistake isn’t the first time an alleged drug dealer was apprehended because of the wrong text.
Earlier this month, authorities in Sparta, N.J., arrested Nicholas Delear Jr., after a detective received a text from his phone saying he had a quarter pound of marijuana for sale and wanted to meet at a pizza parlor.
In May, 2012, police in Santa Maria, Calif., arrested 39-year-old Reymundo Carlos Escobedo after he mistakenly sent messages to a police officer offering to sell methamphetamines.

60 Year Old Jumps Into Neigbour’s Well Over Debt

Tragedy struck yesterday at the Concord area of Oke-Omiru, Ilesa, Osun State when a 60-year-old man, who trades in building materials, committed suicide by jumping into a well.

The victim popularly known as ‘Sunre’ which translates to ‘sleep well,’ however refused to sleep well when he, in the early hours of Wednesday, took his life by jumping inside a well belonging to one of his neighbours.
The deceased, a resident of Adeti Street, Ilesa was said to have earlier attempted to jump into the well in his residence on October 15, but was stopped by his family members.
Sources say the deceased before his demise, had complained to his family that he owed a certain person in Abuja about N350,000 and he had been unable to raise the money to pay the debt but they had persuaded him not to do anything nasty, encouraging him that all would soon be well but he ignored their counsel.

It was gathered that Pa Sunre who is blessed with grown-up and well-to-do children had gone to the house of his neighbour on sallah day to felicitate with the family and it was while they were all having a good time that he sneaked out and jumped into the well.
It was learnt that a neighbour who went to the well at about 6am the following day to fetch water discovered his remains in the well and raised the alarm which attracted other residents in the neighbourhood to the scene.
Public relations officer of the Osun state police command, Folasade Odoro, who confirmed the development,  said a team of detectives led by the Divisional Police officer ‘A’ Division, Ilesa, quickly moved to the scene where the corpse was removed.

‘I Was Carried Away By The Aroma’, Housewife Caught Stealing Meat From Neighbour’s Pot

A housewife in Sapele, Delta State, identified as Oghenero (surname withheld), reportedly got her fingers burnt yesterday, when she allegedly attempted to steal a piece of meat from a neighbour’s soup pot.
It was reliably gathered that the woman, a mother of three, gained access to the soup after the neighbour who was preparing it left it on the fire unattended and went into her room to get her GSM phone which was ringing.
The light fingered housewife was said to have moved into the kitchen while the other woman was speaking with her caller but was caught by another neighbour who had been watching her movement from a distance.
Confirming the incident, the neighbour identified as Mrs Mouka Felicia, said the hot piece of meat fell from the thieving housewife’s mouth after she was slapped by her brother-in-law and she allegedly confessed to have been carried away by the aroma emitting from the pot of soup.
Family sources said the latest incident is not the first as the woman has been involved in several cases of petty stealing for which her husband threatened to send her packing.

We Are Responding Appropriately To Suits Filed By Deportees – Lagos Govt.

The Government of Lagos State, yesterday said it is responding appropriately to the N1 billion and N20 million suits against it by some of the Igbo indigenes deported out of the state to Onitisha, Anambra State in July, 2013, adding that it had begun preparations toward the challenge in court.
Seven of the deportees, namely, Joseph Aniebonam, Osondu Mbuto, Osondu Agwu, Nnenna Ogbonna, Emily Okoroariri, Friday Ndukwe and Onyeka Ugwu sued on behalf of others, the Attorney-General, AG, of Lagos State and the Commissioner of Police and Lagos State Government to the tune of N1 billion.
Two other applicants namely: Osondu Agwuogo and Dandy Eze, through their counsel, Lekan Odunsi and Associates, sued the Executive Governor of Lagos State, AG and Commissioner for Justice as respondents for a N10 million each over damages they incurred through the illegal, forceful removal from Lagos State and infringement of fundamental right to freedom of movement.
The state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Ade Ipaye, while speaking with Vanguard on the suits, said the government was not moved by the suits as it would appropriately respond to the challenge.
Ipaye, confirmed that the state government had been served the court papers as government was ready to meet them in the court.
He, however, stressed that the suit could either be politically motivated or not, insisting that government was responding to it appropriately.
He explained: “We are not moved by the N1 billion suit. The suit could be politically motivated or not. We are going to respond to it as we have been served the court papers.”
Ipaye, also, added that the decision to transport the affected persons to their home state was based on their request after due consultation with their state of origin.
In his own reaction, the State Publicity Secretary, All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, said: “We will meet them in court,” noting that the suit was politically motivated as those deported could not have garnered the power to sue the government.
According to Igbokwe, those behind the lawsuit should also sue Peter Obi for deporting several Igbo indigenes in his state to Ebonyi State in 2011, as he accused the Anambra State Government of drumming up the issue because of the coming election. [Vanguard]
