Being a journalist is definitely very stressful and dangerous. Reporters risk their lives not only gathering news in hot spots but also just asking US politicians uncomfortable questions. An embattled US congressman was caught on film threatening to break a reporter in half and throw him off a Capitol balcony after he was asked about a campaign finance probe.

Michael Grimm, a Republican from New York, lost his temper during an interview with NY1 News television immediately after President Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday.

"I'm not talking about anything that's off topic. This is only about the president's speech," Grimm said, after the NY1 journalist asked him about an investigation into campaign finances.

The story sounded bizarre and confounding but it is true. The discovery of the body of three-year-old Bose Olaniyi in a well in the neighbourhood has thrown the residents of Ilupeju-Isokan area of Akobo into mourning. But the most shocking aspect of the sad occurrence was that the suspect in this case is no other person than the deceased’s cousin, Rilwan Olaniyi, who confessed to have acted on the promptings of his mother to kill his cousin!

How could 14-year-old Rilwan, a Primary Six pupil, ever think of killing his little cousin? Crime Reports gathered that Mrs Bola Olaniyi and Mrs Morenike Olaniyi are two women married to two brothers. The former, who is Rilwan’s mother, is married to the elder of the two brothers and due to circumstances, the latter and her husband with their children started living in the house bulit by the elder brother.

It happened in the evening of June 17. Little Bose’s mother, Morenike, a mother of four, reportedly went to buy yam flour in the neighbourhood to prepare dinner for her children. She left her children behind but the youngest, Bose, cried after her mother, insisting on following her, as if she had a premonition of what would befall her that night. Morenike however sent her daughter back, telling her to go and stay with her siblings. And with that she waved a final bye to her daughter as she never saw her alive again. Dinner for the household later became a forgone issue.
