It has now been revealed that the girl's father, who is responsible for her pregnancy, has now retracted his guilty plea, following her death. Jacob Alonge, a native doctor who is known for his diabolical powers, was accused of impregnating his own daughter, Gift, multiple times and even aborting the pregnancy once.

Pastor shares testimony as his daughter miraculously survives ghastly accident

Image
A pastor has taken to Facebook to thank God and share a testimony after his daughter miraculously survived a ghastly accident that could have made her lose her life. Bishop Randy Borders told of how his daughter, Hope Elizabeth Borders was involved in a car wreck last Friday. Her car somersaulted multiple times down a mountain in the US. Yet she walked away with just a bruised rib caused by the tight seatbelt. He said rescuers at the scene did not expect her to be alive and they were shocked when they saw that not only was she alive but she was also unhurt. Randy Borders wrote: This picture I just took of my daughter and I means more to me than I could ever explain. Yesterday (Friday) my daughter was in wreck four hours away from me. She rolled 3 or 4 times down a mountain. She walked away with only bruised ribs from seatbelt. Troopers did not expect her to be alive, let alone unhurt. All is well. She’s good. God is awesome. Loving on her today. Take a minute today

Peace Mass Transit (PMT) Ltd now has a depot in Awka, the Anambra State capital, latest in the series of eye-popping ultra modern business premises recently commissioned by the leading road transport company, across the country.   Peace Mass Transit has been present in Onitsha since inception over two decades ago, before the very recent addition of the Nkpor branch, but the Awka depot is somewhat of a watershed, marking the company’s first official presence in the state capital since the creation of the present Anambra state, some 28 years ago.   The Awka PMT depot is located on 112 Arthur Eze Avenue, UNIZIKjunction, opposite Sinai Oil.         The new premises is yet another trail-blazing architectural masterpiece, innovative in both design and ultimate delivery, and the general comfort ambience is second to none. An obviously excited travelling public has been effusive in its praise of the depot, which began operations a few weeks ago.   As usual, all ope
