OMG! Mother Of 5 Brutally Butchers 4 Of Her Kids Intentionally, See Her Reason (Photos)

A mum has been arrested after allegedly stabbing her four young children to death with a butcher's knife before trying to take her own life. Shanynthia Gardner, 29, has been charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder following the horrific incident yesterday afternoon.

She is accused of fatally slitting the throats of four of her five children - aged six months to four years old - at an apartment in Tennessee, US.

Still wielding the knife, she then chased her eldest son - seven-year-old Dallen Clayton - out of the
home as he screamed loudly, it is alleged.

After Dallen got away, Gardner returned back inside the apartment, where her young children lay dead, neighbours told local media.

There, she is said to have tried to take her own life.






The mum-of-five was later arrested by police in Memphis after being found with 'superficial cuts' to her neck and wrist, according to the Inquisitr.

Tragically, the bodies of her children, Yahzi Gardner, Sya Gardner, Tallen Gardner, and Sahvi Gardner, were discovered inside the Shelby County apartment.

All four youngsters - who have a different dad from Dallen - had slit throats, officials said.

A butcher's knife with what looked like blood on it was also recovered from the home, according to court documents seen by the New York Daily News .

Shelby County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Earle Farrell told the newspaper:
“When I first got the call to dispatch, I thought someone had been wounded. Then it kept getting worse and worse and worse."
Police arrived at the grisly scene at around 12.40pm after receiving a 911 call from someone who heard Dallen's screams, it is reported

Teenage Girl Runs Away From Home 'Cos Of Dad's Continuous Molestation

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a man, Timothy Idowu, for allegedly molesting his 15-year-old daughter in the Aradagun, Badagry area of the state.

According to Punch, the matter got to the attention of the police after the victim, Victoria (pseudonym), packed from her father’s apartment to put up with a family friend in the Ikotun area.

He had travelled for a prayer meeting on the day his daughter fled home.

It was learnt that Victoria, who had been kept in government’s custody, was raped while her mother
was bedridden.

Idowu was arrested on Thursday, June 23, by the Badagry Police Division.

A social worker, identified only as Ibrahim, who reported the matter to the police, said the victim fled to her aunt in the Ikotun area.

He said:
 “The victim fled to a relative, who is her aunt in the Ikotun area. The aunt thereafter contacted our organisation. The case got to my attention last week. I reported the case at the police station in Badagry immediately and the man was arrested.
“The victim said she could not bear it anymore as her father had raped her several times in the year. She said anytime the family slept at night, the father would sneak into her room and rape her. He would thereafter warn her not to tell anyone. She claimed the father started from the beginning of the year.”
Speaking with PUNCH Metro, a neighbour, who did not want his name in print, said the victim had also reported to her while fleeing the house.

She said:
 “The girl came to me on the day she was fleeing home and said her father had been molesting her. I thought she was mentally unstable, until the man was arrested some days ago.”
Victoria told the police in her statement that her father deflowered her.

She said:
“I am 15 years old. I am in Senior Secondary Class 2. My father deflowered me several months ago, and he had been molesting me since then. Whenever he did it, he would clean up the mess and warn me not to tell anybody.”
A police source said the suspect also allegedly raped Victoria’s elder sister, who attended a college of education in Lagos State.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed Idowu’s arrest.

“Investigation is still ongoing,” she added.

Buy From Hawker On The Road, Go To Jail – Gov. Ambode

Last Wednesday, around 12 noon, at Maryland Bus Stop, along Ikorodu Road, Lagos, peace was temporally disrupted by rampaging miscreants, otherwise called, “Area Boys”, over alleged killing of a hawker by a fast moving truck.

The yet to be identified middle-aged hawker, while fleeing from law enforcement agents for fear of arrest, suddenly ran into the truck and died on the spot. Consequently, Area Boys around mobilized  and started attacking, in sight, all buses operating under the Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, inflicting severe injuries on passengers in the process.

It was gathered that the incident happened when the hawker, a male, suddenly sighted the convoy of officials of Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI), who were returning from an operation in Ojuelegba,  enroute to Alausa, Ikeja. Apparently, thinking they were coming for him, he fled across the road, oblivious of the fast moving on-coming vehicle, which is a delivery truck of a leading producer of soft drinks,  and, before any one could say “Jack Robinson,” he had been crushed to death. Irked by the development, the Area Boys, in their hundreds, took t the road went after BRT buses, smashing their screens and attacking passengers on board. They were alleged to have also robbed the passengers of their belongings such as cash, bags, and mobile phones, among others. It took the intervention of men of the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, Lagos Taskforce, and other security agents to restore normalcy, but not after over 48 buses hadbeen vandalized. It was gathered that the hawker had been arrested before and was released after payment of N10, 000 fine.

“On the fateful day, he was trying to evade another arrest when she met her death. It would have been better for him to be arrested than running to death,”  an eyewitness told Sunday Vanguard. According to the Managing Director of Primero Transport Services, Mr. Fola Tinubu, operator of the damaged BRT buses, while speaking on the incident, “Investigation revealed that our buses were not involved in any way or form”. Tinubu, apparently, disturbed by the level of destruction and the sheer number of the buses affected, said the losses, running into several millions of naira, were a clear setback to investment, stressing that the Nigerian public must be educated to draw a line between private investment and public assets.

He believed no amount of provocation should justify the destruction of 48 new buses belonging to a private investor who has provided over 2,500 jobs since the commencement of operations in November 2015 and still counting. “The blue BRT buses did not in any way, directly or otherwise, have contact with the late young man”, the MD stated. “Unfortunately, suspected hoodlums took advantage of the incident to unleash mayhem and terror on our drivers, while also causing severe damages to our buses at the scene of the accident.

Some of our drivers are still receiving medical treatment and some commuters had some of their belongings stolen. “Damages on the buses range from broken windshields, front, sides, rear, to side mirrors while some had their interior dented. The buses will be parked in our depot until repair works are carried out which we expect to run into millions of naira”. He however, assured that within couple of weeks, the buses would return to the road. Ambode fumes Governor Akinwumi Ambode immediately ordered full investigation into the incident. The governor also called for thorough details into the immediate and remote cause of the killing of the street hawker with the aim preventing future occurrence as well as  bringing culprits to book. Ambode, who was said to be irked by the development, immediately, directed the police and other  security agencies to launch a manhunt for the perpetrators and bring them to book.

He later announced commencement of total enforcement against street trading and street hawkers, saying that the law banning their activities across Lagos metropolis would take its full course. He said the renewed enforcement is in line with Section One of the Lagos State Street Trading and Illegal Market Prohibition Law 2003 which restricts street trading and hawking in the metropolis.

The governor, while sympathizing with the family of the deceased street hawker, regretted that the situation led to the destruction of public assets. “The issue is we need to enforce our laws because we already have a law in respect of that and then there is a clause in it which says the buyer and the seller are both liable and that we are going to fine them either N90, 000 or a six month jail term”, Ambode said.

“What we are doing on traffic is that we are introducing new strategies to eliminate traffic but Lagos being a cosmopolitan city, you cannot totally eliminate it but now this is the case, in the next few days, you will see on the street of Lagos signs that will be warning you that buyers and hawkers should be aware that there are consequences,” Ambode said. He said his administration had also concluded plans to roll out a massive campaign which would warn both motorists and hawkers of the restrictions and the penalty for defaulters. “We will be watching out for buyers and sellers and all we need is just scapegoat. Don’t buy plantain chips or any other items in traffic from July 1, buyers beware”

Pastor John Arinze Regrets His Life After Caught Trying To Smuggle Drugs In Indomie Carton

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested a 52-year-old evangelist, John Arinze, over his attempt to export N1.4bn worth of narcotics to South Africa. The agency said the drugs, made of 92kgs of methamphetamine and 73kgs of ephedrine, were detected inside two containers of foodstuff meant for export to South Africa at the Apapa Seaport in Lagos.



The suspect, who had lived in South Africa for over a decade accepted ownership of the illicit shipment and said he made a big mistake by taking over the business of his late wife.

"I am an evangelist living in Durban, South Africa. My late wife was into drug trafficking before she died few years ago. I made a mistake venturing into her business. It is all my fault," he stated.



The drugs, 92kgs of methamphetamine and 73kgs of ephedrine with the estimated street value of N.4 billion were found inside two containers of foodstuff meant for export to South Africa, following meticulous undercover operation by operatives of NDLEA.

The narcotics drugs were hidden inside packs of melon concealed in foodstuff and cosmetics such as gari, noodles, Knorr and Maggi food seasoning, yam powder, malt drinks, pepper, milk, herbal hair cream and Golden Morn cereals, Damatol hair cream, bags of melon, kegs of palm oil, beans, biscuits, sardine and cartons of Orijin Bitters. During the examination of the containers marked MSKU 388274-1 and MSKU 424717-0, anti-narcotic officials detected 20kg of Methamphetamine and 50kg of Ephedrine inside the first container and 72Kg of Methamphetamine and 23Kg of Ephedrine in the second container.

Chairman and Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Col. Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah (retd), said the seizure will have a positive influence in Nigeria's fight against narcotics drug.

"This is a product of careful planning and meticulous tracking of narcotic drugs movement. The consignments were closely monitored by our undercover agents and intercepted at the Apapa Seaport, Lagos, following the detection of narcotics by NDLEA sniffer dogs during screening operation. This will definitely have a positive influence on Nigeria’s drug control efforts" said the NDLEA boss

Col. Abdallah reiterated the agency's commitment to the fight against drug trafficking and prosecution of offenders.

"I am very happy with the success recorded in this operation. The agency will remain painstaking and professional in the fight against illicit drug production, trafficking and abuse. We hope to unmask the drug syndicate behind this shipment and make more arrests soon," he added

Sport News: I’m still aiming for Ballon d’Or – Balotelli

The controversial striker, who spent last season with AC Milan, remains hopeful of winning the top individual accolade and understands his ommision from Italy’s Euro 2016 squad

Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli rates his form in recent seasons as no more than “five out of 10” but the enigmatic star still harbours ambitions to win the prestigious Ballon d’Or award.
Balotelli was tipped for stardom after impressing as a youngster at Inter, but the Italy international has seen his progress stagnate.
He scored just one Premier League goal after moving to Anfield ahead of the 2014-15 campaign and only found the back of the net once in Serie A after rejoining AC Milan on a season-long loan last term.
Now 25, Balotelli recognises that he must start living up to his potential but the former Manchester City star is confident of doing so.
“I have not done enough in recent years. I can do much better. But it takes time. On a scale of one to 10, I have only reached five. But I will get to 10 eventually, because that is my goal,” Balotelli told Corriere della Sera.
“I want to win the Ballon d’Or. Although I realise I got stuck at five out of 10 in the last two years when my goal was to get closer to 10. I know people will laugh when I say I want the Ballon d’Or. I have not done everything needed to become the best.
“But the most important thing is that I have realised my mistakes and it is not too late yet. I don’t want to reach the end of my career thinking that I have not done everything to become the best.
“Until two years ago I was happy with what I had. I was doing well and I was happy with the way things were, even if I was aware of my flaws. I was not thinking about improving.
“I started working harder two years ago, even if the results are not there yet. Maybe I am paying for the previous 23 years. But I am calm. I know that things have changed for me over the past two years.”
Balotelli missed out on a place in Italy’s squad for Euro 2016 following his underwhelming performances in 2015-16, but he does not blame Antonio Conte for his decision.
“Of course, I regret not being at Euro 2016. I would have loved to be there,” he added.
“Conte would have called up the real Balotelli. But the current Balotelli did not deserve to be there. I have not been at my own level for the past two years. I have had physical problems and other issues. I have not been the real me.
