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.

UK Nursery Worker Jailed For Abusing 21 Babies

A judge on Friday jailed a nursery worker for eight years for a string of “gratuitous” and “sadistic” attacks on babies.

In one incident, Londoner Roksana Lecka, 22, kicked a little boy in the face several times.

Lecka, who blamed cannabis for her crimes, admitted seven counts of cruelty to a person under the age of 16 and was convicted after a trial of another 14 counts.

Sentencing her for attacks on 21 babies, Judge Sarah Plaschkes said she had committed “multiple acts of gratuitous violence” at two London nurseries where she worked.

“You pinched, slapped, punched, smacked and kicked them. You pulled their ears, hair and their toes. You toppled children headfirst into cots,” she said.

“Often the child would be quietly and happily minding its own business before you deliberately inflicted pain… Your criminal conduct can properly be characterised as sadistic,” she added.

Lecka’s cruelty was revealed in June 2024 after she was seen pinching a number of children.
Police were called in and found multiple incidents recorded on the nursery CCTV.

Victim impact statements submitted to London’s Kingston Crown Court from parents of Lecka’s victims told how they were left heartbroken and guilt-stricken by the attacks.

“These children were so innocent and vulnerable,” one mother told the court.

“They couldn’t speak, they couldn’t defend themselves and they couldn’t tell us as parents that something had happened to them,” she added.

“They were totally helpless and Roksana preyed upon them.”

The hearing was told that she had apologised to the parents in a letter to the court in which she said cannabis had turned her into a different person.

She had been addicted to the drug around the time of the offences, but had not told the nursery.
She was found not guilty of three further counts of child cruelty.

Italy’s antitrust regulator said Friday it has slapped Italian energy giant Eni and five other companies with fines totalling more than 936 million euros ($1.1 billion) for “restricting competition” in the sale of fuel.

The authority said in a statement that Eni, Esso, Ip, Q8, Saras and Tamoil “coordinated to set the value of the bio component factored into fuel prices”, which tripled between 2019 and 2023.

A probe following a whistleblower’s complaint revealed that “the companies implemented parallel price increases — largely coinciding — which were driven by direct or indirect information exchanges among them”, the authority said.

“The cartel began on 1 January 2020 and continued until 30 June 2023,” it added.

Trump Signs Order For TikTok’s Sale, Valued At $14bn

United States President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order declaring that his plan is to sell TikTok’s US operations to American and global investors.

As reported by Reuters on Friday, the order requires companies bidding for TikTok to meet the national-security requirements of the 2024 law that otherwise would ban the app unless its Chinese owners divest.

Speaking to reporters at an Oval Office briefing on Thursday, Vice President James Vance said the newly created US entity would be “valued around $14 billion.

“We actually think this is a good deal for investors, but they will make a determination about what they want to invest and what they think is the proper value,” he said.

The White House on Thursday pushed back the law’s enforcement date to January 20 to allow time for the transaction, investor commitments, and negotiations with Chinese authorities.

The publication of the executive order shows Trump is making progress on the sale of TikTok’s US assets.

However, details remain to be worked out, including how the U.S. company would handle TikTok’s most valuable asset: its recommendation algorithm.

“There was some resistance on the Chinese side, but the fundamental thing that we wanted to accomplish is that we wanted to keep TikTok operating, but we also wanted to make sure that we protected Americans’ data privacy as required by law,” Vance said.

According to Reuters, Trump’s order says the algorithm will be retrained and monitored by the U.S. company’s security partners, and operation of the algorithm will be under the control of the new joint venture.

Trump said Chinese President Xi Jinping had indicated approval of the plans. “I spoke with President Xi,” Trump said. “We had a good talk, I told him what we were doing, and he said go ahead with it.”

Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. TikTok did not immediately comment on Trump’s action.

Trump has credited TikTok, which has 170 million U.S. users, with helping him win reelection last year. Trump has 15 million followers on his personal TikTok account. The White House also launched an official TikTok account last month.

“This is going to be American-operated all the way,” Trump said.

He said that Michael Dell, the founder, chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies; Rupert Murdoch, the chairman emeritus of Fox News owner Fox Corp, and newspaper publisher News Corp, and “probably four or five absolutely world-class investors” would be part of the deal.
