Help! US Police After My Life – US-Based Nigerian Cries Out

Published

on

Thirty-two-year-old Adaeze Eluka, a Nigerian based in California, the United States of America, has raised the alarm over alleged threat to her life by some American policemen from Oakland Police Department , California City.

Popularly known as Tiana Ada, the Gospel Recording Artist who has worked as a private guard and a social media influencer, alleged that five policemen had been intimidating and harassing her for some months now. She traced the genesis of her predicament to February 2023, when two of the policemen , one of them a white and the other an Indian, hit her car that was parked in front of her house in Hayward city, California.

She however lamented that all efforts to get them repair her car had proved abortive, alleging that the cops always tried to be steps ahead of her, in their bid to frustrate and cow her into giving up.

Not giving in to the intimidation, Eluka posted her accounts on her Instagram page about four times, in order to get the response of the US government or a concerned law firm that would come to her rescue,yet, the needed help was far from reach, according g to her.

At the moment, Eluka said she could not be reached via whats-app, or reach out via same platform and others, as the policemen had allegedly disconnected her gallery and microphone from all her social media accounts.

More worrisome is the fact that she further alleged that they had attempted to poison her food after breaking into her house,apparently to end her life.

She therefore, reached out to Vanguard to raise the alarm, with a view to getting prompt help before her case is recorded among blacks killed by policemen in the United States of America.

My story

Recalling one of her numerous video posts on the matter, on her Instagram page: tianaada 2, she said “I have been trying to get the government to investigate and nobody has actually seen my videos and my evidence. It’s because they are Police and of course I’m black.

“On February 19, 2023, the guy in the picture(on her instagrame page)Pang Ying Le , intentionally hit my vehicle at the back. I mean ,I literally saw him accelerate to intentionally hit my car. Shortly after an insurance agent, a Lady, named Brenda, called me, asking me to sign some documents for compensation which included that I had bodily injuries, but I did not , because I never told her that I had.

“I believe they were trying to frame me for insurance crime or something. These cops are busy trying to influence people with public funds. Because I rejected to sign the document for compensation, my car has not been fixed till date.

Drugged food

“They did a lot of things to me, they took it too personal to the point of coming into my house to drug my food and damage my wigs. I have videos I posted on Instagram already on Tianaada2”.

Asked how they got into her house, she responded, “they got in through my bedroom window, because it was opened and the spare key of my house was in my car so I believe that was how they got into my car.

And the crazy thing is that the more I screw the lock of my door , the more they spoil it.

“One time I unscrewed it totally and I saw some brown stuffs inside the lock.

“They messed up my wigs , my medication got swapped and all of a sudden I started growing mustache and I’m not a hairy person. I hardly even grow hair in my armpit. I’m scared to eat my food because recently when I eat my food I sleep off.

“Before I knew it, they started coming into my house to plant Cameras and they started with the narrative that I’m crazy.

”These are police officers, and the crazy thing is that they are lying to everyone so that people don’t know the true story. I don’t know if someone gave out an information about me to them. I believe every policeman has a guideline on how he should operate. And I’m very sure they don’t give police the authority to hit your car in front of your house and walk away.

Botched attempts

”As I was trying to look for a law firm to sue them, they intercepted my calls and hindered me from getting legal help. When I called the FBI, they intercepted the calls and hindered me from reaching out.

”When I eventually found one firm, they went there to compromise the receptionist, named Guerero( other name witheld).

”The craziest part was one of the days I went searching for a law firm, a girl stopped me from getting into the building. When I did, the girl threatened she was going to press charges, that I assaulted her and a manager in the building.

“One of the policemen came dressed in San Francisco Police uniform. He dragged me to the psychiatric clinic at Saint Francis hospital at San Francisco over the allegation by the law firm girl. Again they wanted to drug me there, by insisting I must eat, but I refused.

At the end of the day, after all the tests were conducted on me, the doctors said I was fine and could go.

“When they saw I was posting evidence, they disconnected my gallery and phone microphone completely from all social media. They even bugged my line, so that when I tried reaching the authorities, they would intercept the calls, because the Police have the privilege of intercepting calls being government officials.

“The video evidence I have posted so far can be watched on TikTok:tiana_ada or instagram: tianaada2. However, at the moment I am unable to post more evidence because my gallery and microphone got completely disconnected from all my social media accounts .

“ I have not been able to go out anymore because each time I do, they would be stalking me. And I have not worked through out this year 2023. I feed off the rent I receive from my tenant (roommate) because I own the place”.

I am appealing to the US government to come to my help”, she stated.

Efforts to get the reaction of the Oakland Police Department Chief, California, failed, as the email sent was returned undelivered.

Mosquitoes Discovered In Iceland For First Time

Published

on

Mosquitoes have been discovered in Iceland in a first for the island nation, which has long been one of the world’s mosquito-free places, a researcher told AFP Monday.

Three Culiseta annulata mosquitoes, two females and one male, were sighted around 30 kilometres (20 miles) north of the capital Reykjavik, according to Matthias Alfredsson, an entomologist at the Natural Science Institute of Iceland.

“They were all collected from wine ropes… aimed at attracting moths,” the researcher said in an email, referring to a method of adding sugar to heated wine and dipping ropes or strips of fabric into the solution, which are then hung outside to entice the sweet-toothed insects.

Along with Antarctica, Iceland has long been one of the few places on earth without a mosquito population.

It is the first record of mosquitoes occurring in the natural environment in Iceland. A single Aedes nigripes specimen (arctic mosquito species) was collected many years ago from an airplane at Keflavik airport,” Alfredsson said, adding that “unfortunately, that specimen is lost”.

Their presence could “indicate a recent introduction to the country, possibly via ships or containers”, he said, but further monitoring in spring would be necessary to determine their further spread.

Rising temperatures, longer summers, and milder winters, all brought on by climate change, create a more favourable environment for mosquitoes to thrive.

But Alfredsson did not believe that a warmer climate explained the discovery.

The species “appears to be well adapted to colder climates”, which “allows them to withstand long, harsh winters when temperatures drop below freezing”, he said.

He added that its “diverse breeding habitats… further enhances its ability to persist in Iceland’s challenging environment”.

Trump Urged Ukraine To Give Up Land In Peace Deal Talks — Official

Published

on

United State President Donald Trump pressured Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky to give up the eastern Donbas region in exchange for peace during “tense” talks last Friday in Washington, a senior Ukrainian official told AFP.

The source added that the talks with Trump were “not easy”, and that diplomatic efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war felt like they were being “dragged out” and “going in circles”.

Zelensky met Trump at the White House last week, hoping to capitalise on the US leader’s growing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s reluctance to accept a ceasefire.

But he instead left empty-handed after Trump — who spoke with Putin the day before — denied his request for long-range Tomahawk missiles and pressured him into making a deal.

When asked if Trump urged Zelensky to pull out of land Ukraine still controlled — one of Putin’s key demands — the Ukrainian official told AFP: “Yes, that’s true.”

Following his meeting with Zelensky, Trump said on social media that their talks were “very interesting and cordial, but I told him, as I likewise strongly suggested to President Putin, that it is time to stop the killing and make a DEAL!”

Voters In Turkish Cyprus Reject Erdogan-backed Leader In Presidential Election

Published

on

The breakaway territory of northern Cyprus has voted overwhelmingly to replace its outgoing leader, who had the backing of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, election officials said Sunday.

Almost 63 per cent of voters in the territory, whose claim to statehood is recognised only by Turkey, backed former prime minister Tufan Erhurman as next president at the expense of Turkey’s pick, Ersin Tatar, who polled 35 per cent.

Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when a Turkish invasion following a coup in Nicosia backed by Greece’s then-military junta eventually led to the creation of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in 1983.

The internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus, a member of the European Union, controls the island’s majority Greek Cypriot south.

While Tatar has toed the Turkish line of two separate states on Cyprus, Erhurman has indicated he favours a federal state that would include both sides of the island.

Erhurman said there were no losers in the election and that “the Turkish Cypriot people have won together”.

“I will exercise my responsibilities, notably in terms of foreign policy, in consultation with the Republic of Turkey,” he said, trying to soothe concerns from Ankara that he may try to break away.

Erdogan congratulated Erhurman in a post on social media, adding that Turkey would “continue to defend the rights and sovereign interests” of the breakaway territory.

The last major round of peace talks to negotiate a settlement to the island’s divided status collapsed in Switzerland in 2017.

The leaders of both sides met in July at the UN headquarters in New York for talks that were hailed as “constructive” by UN chief Antonio Guterres.
