A 29-year-old man identified as Joe Philip a.k.a Aboy, was beaten to death by members of Anioma Security Watch Network in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State over a missing Nokia touch light phone.

While the young man was having a nap, it was said that the woman’s son came to pick up his mother’s phone from the young man’s room without his knowledge.

It was gathered that when the woman returned to pick up her phone and couldn’t find it, the deceased expressed dismay at the disappearance of the phone, however, promised to replace it for her, but the woman insisted that she needed her exact phone or else she would ‘’teach him a lesson of his life.

The young man’s plea to provide her a similar phone didn’t go down well with the woman hence she invited members of a local security outfit, Anioma Security Watch Network for intervention.

The vigilante members arrived at the scene in the compound and descended on the young man, requesting him to provide the missing phone. The witness said several people pleaded with them but they insisted that he must provide the phone before they leave him.

Narrating further, he said after a while they noticed that the motionless body of the deceased became cold and stiff, they immediately carried him to the office of the security group, Anioma Security Watch Network, at 17 Gbenoba Str, Agbor, where the

A viral video captured a tense but brief moment between former U.S. president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton as the couple attempted to cross a busy street in New York City.

The pair were walking in the city after attending an event and visiting their daughter, Chelsea Clinton, when the incident occurred.

Footage shows Bill Clinton smiling as he appeared to bump his wife toward a crosswalk while traffic was still moving, seemingly encouraging her to cross the street early.

Hillary Clinton immediately pulled back and raised her hands in front of her, clearly resisting the move.

“No, no, no, no, no. Don’t do that. Don’t do that,” she said in the video.

Bill Clinton responded with a grin, replying, “That’s not a good idea.”

Moments later, the crosswalk signal changed and the couple, accompanied by what appeared to be members of their security detail, crossed the street safely without incident.

The sighting came just days after the Clintons completed testimony related to an investigation into the government’s handling of the case involving disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
