Swiss to auction 25 super cars seized from E. Guinea leader’s son

A collection of luxury cars seized from Equatorial Guinea’s vice president Teodorin Obiang Nguema will be auctioned off in Switzerland on Sunday and are estimated to bring in 18.5 million Swiss francs ($18.7 million).

“This is an exceptional sale,” Philip Kantor, of British auctioneers Bonhams, told AFP. “It’s a private collection of supercars, with very low mileage.

Among the cars, to go under the hammer at a Geneva golf club, are seven Ferraris, three Lamborghinis, five Bentleys, a Maserati and a McLaren.

The most expensive lots are a Lamborghini Veneno Roadster, valued at between 4.8 million and 5.7 million euros ($5.2-6.2 million) and yellow Ferrari hybrid at 2.4-2.6 million euros.

The cars were all confiscated by Swiss justice after the opening in 2016 of a financial wrongdoing case against Obiang, son and likely heir of Equatorial Guinea’s authoritarian President Teodoro Obiang Nguema who has ruled for 40 years.

All will be sold with no reserve price.

In February Swiss prosecutors said they were dropping charges of financial wrongdoing against Teodorin Obiang Nguema but were confiscating the luxury cars as part of the case.

Under the Swiss penal code, prosecutors can choose to drop charges in this category if defendants offer compensation “and restore a situation that is in conformity with the law.”

Playboy reputation

Equatorial Guinea has also agreed to give Geneva 1.3 million Swiss francs to cover the costs of the case.

Vice president with responsibility for defence and security, Teodorin Obiang has a reputation for a playboy lifestyle.

In October 2017, a Paris court handed him a three-year suspended jail term after convicting Obiang of siphoning off public money to buy assets in France.

He was accused of spending more than 1,000 times his official annual salary on a six-storey mansion in a posh part of the French capital, a fleet of fast cars and artworks, among other assets.

He was also given a suspended fine of 30 million euros.

In September, Brazilian media said that more than $16 million in cash and luxury watches were seized by Brazilian police and customs officers from luggage of a delegation accompanying Obiang on a private visit.

Brazilian daily O Estado de Sao Paulo quoted a diplomatic source from Equatorial Guinea as saying the money was to pay for medical treatment Obiang was to undergo in Sao Paulo.

The watches were for the “personal use” of the president’s son and were engraved with his initials, the report said.

Obiang is reputedly on a fast track to succeed his father.

Last October, he was promoted from colonel directly to division general, without passing through the normal intermediary rank of brigade general.

The following month, he presided over a cabinet meeting for the first time.

The tiny West African nation is one of the continent’s top petroleum producers and has a population of just 1.2 million.

The country is regularly cited by NGOs as one of the most corrupt in the world.

Journalist Survives ‘Mad Beatings’ In Sagnarigu Constituency

A reporter of Tamale based Diamond FM has survived some real beatings in the hands of some supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The angry political hoodlums claim he allegedly took pictures of a constituency executive who collapsed at the ongoing NPP primaries at the Sagnarigu Constituency.

Ms Sangkpi Sabina is said to have been slapped multiple times and dragged on the ground by the aggrieved supporters.

She was subsequently forced out of the venue by the supporters.

The Sagnarigu Constituency chairman collapsed when he was walking out of the venue with some supporters of the party. It is not known what might have caused his collapse.

Christian Coleman Wins 100m Gold in 9.76 Seconds

Christian Coleman shrugged off the controversy of his build-up to the World Championships to win the 100m final in 9.76 seconds.

The pre-event favourite, who avoided a ban for three missed doping tests, finished well clear of defending champion and fellow American Justin Gatlin, who clocked 9.89 in Doha.

Canada’s Andre de Grasse took bronze in 9.90.

Britain’s European champion Zharnel Hughes was sixth in 10.03.

Although Coleman will receive generous plaudits for his display here, USA track great Michael Johnson said prior to the competition that controversy surrounding Coleman “completely disqualifies” him from being the face of the sport.

The US Anti-Doping Agency charged Coleman with missing three drugs tests in 12 months before withdrawing the claim.

“I am humble, I am just here to win titles,” an elated Coleman said afterwards.

“It is an incredible time. I think the sky’s the limit, I think I still have a lot of things I can work on and improve, I think I can keep dropping my time.”

For the second successive day the crowd was sparse inside the Khalifa Stadium, which can hold 40,000. There has been no update as to whether the organisers have improved on sales of 50,000 tickets for the entire 10 days.

On Saturday, the stadium became more vacant as the evening wore on and only a few witnessed the spectacular light display before the men’s 100m final.

Much of the focus leading up to the championships was about whether Coleman or his USA team-mate Noah Lyles – competing in the 200m – would take the title of ‘sprint king’ following Usain Bolt’s retirement after London 2017.

That projected battle was thrown into serious doubt when it was announced in August that Coleman was under investigation for missing three tests in 12 months. If found guilty, the 23-year-old from Atlanta faced a one-year ban.

However, the US Anti-Doping Agency, which initially charged Coleman, withdrew the case after it was proved there had been a filing irregularity regarding the date of the first missed test.

Seemingly unaffected by the drama, Coleman cruised through the rounds before once again making his superiority count in the final.

Defending champion Gatlin, who is also a controversial figure having twice served doping bans, produced another excellent display in a final.

Having won the Olympic title back in 2004 and now aged 37, he still remains a force in men’s sprinting and must be regarded as an Olympic medal contender for Tokyo 2020.

Hughes might feel disappointed with his display. The Anguilla-born sprinter, fifth at the 2015 championships, looked comfortable in his heat and semi-final but failed to recreate that level of performance when it mattered most.

“My body wasn’t feeling up for it tonight unfortunately,” said Hughes, who will go on to compete in the 200m.

“When I pushed out I was all over the place and I lost my form and I’m not happy with that, but I live to fight another day.”

Great Britain’s Adam Gemili and Ojie Edoburun failed to progress beyond the semi-finals.

Gemili, who will also run the 200m, was just edged out into third in his semi while Edoburun came fifth.

Earlier in the day Dina Asher-Smith, one of Britain’s main medal hopes, eased into Sunday’s 100m semi-finals but it was the performance of Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce that drew gasps from the crowd inside the Khalifa Stadium.

The 32-year-old, 10 years after completing her first Olympic and world double, looked relaxed as she powered past her rivals to cross the line in a time of 10.80 seconds – the fastest ever at this stage of the event at a World Championships.

As for Asher-Smith, she also dipped under 11 seconds – for the seventh time this year – and won her heat comfortably. The only other sprinter that managed a sub-11 seconds run was Ivory Coast’s Marie-Josee Ta Lou, who won her race in 10.85.

Britons Daryll Neita and Imani Lansiquot also progressed, as did Rio 2016 gold medallist Elaine Thompson and the USA’s defending champion Tori Bowie.

‘We will see what happens’ – Giles

The British trio of Elliott Giles, Kyle Langford and Jamie Webb all qualified for Sunday’s 800m semi-finals.

Giles, 25 – the 2016 European bronze medallist – led almost from start to finish to clock the fourth fastest time of the heats – one minute 45.53 seconds.

He told BBC Sport: “It was more mindset. KISS – keep it simple. I knew what I needed to do. I don’t need to over-complicate it, just run. Richard Kilty said, ‘over analysis leads to performance paralysis’. That has stuck with me. All we have to do is run and we will see what happens.”

European indoor silver medallist Jamie Webb finished third in his race while Kyle Langford, a surprise fourth two years ago, went through as a fastest loser.

Britons Shelayna Oskan-Clarke and Alexandra Bell both failed to qualify for Monday’s 800m final. Oskan-Clarke, the world indoor bronze medallist, was in a good position in the final 60 metres but tripped as she approached the line.

Brilliant Hassan takes 10,000m title

There were three other medals won inside the stadium. Jamaica’s Tajay Gayle surprised his more illustrious rivals by winning the long jump with 8.69m.

Olympic champion Jeff Henderson clinched silver with 8.39m and Cuba’s world indoor champion Juan Miguel Echevarria took bronze with 8.34m.

Remarkable Dutch athlete Sifan Hassan who has previously won world medals in the 1500m and 5,000m added 10,000m gold with a world lead time of 30 minutes 17.62 seconds. And the USA’s DeAnna Price won the hammer title with a distance of 77.54m.

Elsewhere, Norway’s world champion Karsten Warholm and his main rival Rai Benjamin, of the USA, both eased into Monday’s 400m hurdles final.

Both the men’s and women’s 50km walk races take place later, a day after the competitors in the women’s marathon struggled with the heat and humidity at Doha’s Corniche.

Real Madrid Stay Top of La Liga After Draw With Atletico in Madrid Derby

Karim Benzema went closest for Real Madrid but Jan Oblak produced a magnificent save from the Frenchman’s header

Real Madrid stayed top of La Liga after maintaining their unbeaten domestic start with a goalless draw at city rivals Atletico Madrid.

In a first half of few clear-cut chances, Diego Costa was inches away from sliding home Thomas Partey’s low cross.

Gareth Bale should have given Real the lead in the second but blazed Nacho’s cross over the bar.

Jan Oblak produced a marvellous save to deny Karim Benzema late on.

No way through for dominant Real

Diego Simeone’s side thrashed Real 7-3 in New Jersey in pre-season, but the match at the Wanda Metropolitano was a much more cautious affair with only two shots on target in the first 45 minutes.

Both those efforts came from Toni Kroos, who twice forced Oblak into action with low drives from outside the box.

Atletico failed to properly test Thibaut Courtois throughout the 90 minutes, although it was not for the lack of trying.

Costa almost slid in Partey’s delivery, before Joao Felix – who marked his first competitive Madrid derby appearance with a lively performance – dragged a fierce shot off target from the edge of the area five minutes before the break.

Real enjoyed the better of the openings in the second half, Bale scooping Nacho’s low delivery high over the crossbar from an excellent position.

Benzema thought he had snatched all three points for Zinedine Zidane’s side with 15 minutes remaining but Oblak, diving at full stretch, kept out the Frenchman’s goal-bound header with a strong left hand.

The draw lifts Real one point above Granada – who beat Leganes 1-0 earlier on Saturday – while Atletico climb above Barcelona into third.

NPP Primaries: Delegate Dies After Voting

3news.com has reported that a New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegate in the party’s ongoing orphan constituencies primaries has died after casting his vote today, Saturday.

Jonathan Nii Otoo Ankrah collapsed at the Korle-Bu Police Station polling station in Ablekuma South constituency, Accra.

He was pronounced dead shortly after being rushed to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

It is unclear what caused his death.

“What everybody is saying is that there was nothing wrong with him. He had finished voting and was standing very close to the roadside when he collapsed,” reported an eyewitness.

The Ablekuma South Constituency Organiser of NPP, Abel Banini has reportedly confirmed the news, adding that the deceased is indeed a delegate of the party.

“We don’t know exactly what happened to him,” Banini said “but all of a sudden we saw him falling down and then some of the guys took him to the hospital. Before we got there we learnt he has passed away,” he added.

Voting has ended in some 100 orphan constituencies in the country.

The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) voted Saturday to elect Parliamentary candidates to represent the party in the 2020 elections.

These “orphan constituencies”, refer to areas where the party lost the 2016 Parliamentary Elections to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and, therefore, has no sitting Members of Parliament.

DSS Lied About Not Receiving Court Order – Femi Falana

Femi Falana, a Human rights activist and Omoyele Sowore’s lawyer has countered the Department of State Services (DSS) claim of not receiving a court order to release the “Revolution Now” convener.

 

Punch reported that DSS spokesperson Peter Afunaya, said they were yet to receive the court order for Mr Sowore’s release in a statement he released which was authorised by the Director-General of the agency, Yusuf Bichi.

 

“We have not received the court order. And his (Sowore’s) counsel is a very senior member of the bar and he knows the process to follow,” Mr Afunaya said.

 

When asked again if they have received the court papers in a telephone interview with Premium Times, the DSS spokesperson said “No we haven’t, thank you.”

 

Mr Falana however countered the claim by stating that he personally served the secret police the order and the notice of compliance by his client. He further said they were not directed by the court to serve any notice to the DSS but he did that for avoidance of doubt.

 

“First of all, their lawyer was in court. And he heard the order when it was made. As a legal practitioner, he had an obligation to inform his client. Secondly, since Sowore was to be released to me, I have been going to the SSS office personally since Tuesday.

“We were not directed to serve them. But we did that for the avoidance of doubt. We submitted his passports, got the affidavit of compliance and I personally served them. I also sent the copies to the SSS DG through his phone line, because I have his personal phone line.

“We were there for hours. The head of the legal department pleaded with me to return today (Thursday). When I returned, they locked the SSS gates against me,” Mr Falana said.

 

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria added that if the DSS is truly a law abiding institution, they would have sent their lawyers to verify if the Federal High Court ordered the release of Omoyele Sowore following report of its refusal to obey court orders in local and international media.

 

“I’m not sure the person who is making this statement has the authorisation of his principals. We have filed the form 48 regarding the contempt of court. And in that form, the court order was also included.

“The SSS has a duty to comply with this order and not only this one, but every other order regarding the liberty of Nigerians, because this is a constitutional democracy,” Mr Falana said.

Selena Gomez Speaks On The ‘Scariest’ Moment of Her Life And Her Battle With ‘Mental Health’

Entertainment Gists

By RIDROZAY | 28th September 2019

Selena Gomez is speaking out about her hiatus from the public spotlight and mental health journey.

 

About a year ago, the singer went off the grid as she announced she would be taking a break from social media and later checked herself into a facility for help with her mental health.

 

Gomez has now opened up about what she called the “scariest” time of her life and her decision to finally seek help while receiving the 2019 McLean Award at the McLean Hospital’s annual dinner held in Massachusetts.

 

In her acceptance speech at the award ceremony, she said; “I think that we are better when we tell the truth and, so, this is my truth. Last year, I was suffering mentally and emotionally, and I wasn’t able to stay all that kept together. I wasn’t able to hold a smile or to keep things normal. It felt like all of my pain and my anxiety washed over me all at once and it was one of the scariest moments of my life”.

 

Gomez then explained that after she sought out help, doctors were able to give her a clear diagnosis, which she said was both terrifying and a relief. “Terrified, obviously, because the veil was lifted, but relieved that I finally had the knowledge of why I had suffered for so many years with depression and anxiety,” the actress explained.

 

With her new knowledge, she said she felt equipped to face it head-on. And while it is still an ongoing battle, Gomez admitted that she is in a much better place a year later.

 

“After a year of a lot of intense work. I am happier, I am healthier, and I am in control of my emotions and thoughts more than I’ve ever been. So, I’m very happy about that” Gomez went on to say that while it isn’t easy to share her story with the world, she knows that others will benefit from hearing it.

Actress Demi Moore Shares Shocking Confession of Engaging in Threesomes To Please Her Ex-Husband Ashton Kutcher in New Book ‘Inside Out’

Demi Moore went all out in her new memoir ‘Inside Out’ as she dropped some bombshell confession of her turbulent relationship with her ex-husband, Ashton Kutcher and others.

 

The book which was released on Tuesday September 24, prompted a media tour as the actress revealed being the victim of sexual assault, her turbulent years with ex-husband Ashton Kutcher and her spiral into alcohol and substance abuse.

 

Demi began her story by discussing her troubled childhood. She recounted digging pills out of the mouth of her teenage mother at the age of 12 and being taken to bars to get attention from men by her suicidal mother. This led to her being sexually assaulted by a man her mother knew. The man claimed that her mother “whored” her out for $500.

 

“I don’t think it was a straightforward transaction, but she still did give him the access and put me in harm’s way,” she told ABC’s Diane Sawyer.

 

 

Her mother battled alcoholism and suicide at that time and she also learnt that the man she thought was her dad wasn’t her biological father. The traumatic incident made her believe that she “wasn’t wanted” and she didn’t “deserve to be here.”

 

The actress also believes that she took fellow actor, Jon Cryer’s virginitywhile they were on set of 1984’s No Small Affair. 

 

“I played a young nightclub singer, and Jon Cryer played the nineteen-year-old photographer who falls in love with her, in his first movie role,” Moore wrote.

“Jon fell for me in real life, too, and lost his virginity to me while we were making that movie.”

She continued, “It pains me to think of how callous I was with his feelings — that I stole what could have been such an important and beautiful moment from him.”

 

 

Jon Cryer however denied the claim in a tweet which read;

 

“Well, the good thing about this is she doesn’t have to feel bad about it anymore, because while I’m sure she was totally justified making that assumption based on my my [sic] skill level (and the stunned look on my face at the time), I had actually lost my virginity in high school.”

He did, however, confirm that she was right about one thing: “I was over the moon for her during a very troubled time in her life,” he added. “I have nothing but affection for her and not a regret in the world.”

 

The actress also talked about cheating on Freddy Moore who she was married to for 5 years in her memoir. According to her, she was just 18 when they married got in 1980 she cheated on him shortly before tying the knot.

 

“The night before we got married, instead of working on my vows, I was calling a guy I’d met on a movie set,” Moore wrote. “I snuck out of my own bachelorette party and went to his apartment.”

“Why did I do that? Why didn’t I go and see the man I was committing to spend the rest of my life with to express my doubts? Because I couldn’t face the fact that I was getting married to distract myself from grieving the death of my father,” she continued. “Because I felt there was no room to question what I’d already put in motion. I couldn’t get out of the marriage, but I could sabotage it.”

 

 

She went on to share details of her marriage to Bruce Willis which lasted for 13 years (1987-2000). The actress said he felt her career was making her take so much time away from the family and that made him unsure of their marriage.

 

On her marriage with Bruce who she has three daughters with, Moore wrote, “It’s a funny thing to say, but I’m very proud of our divorce.”

“I think Bruce was fearful at the beginning that I was going to make our split difficult, and that I would express my anger and whatever baggage that I had from our marriage by obstructing his access to the kids — that I’d turn to all of those ploys divorcing couples use as weapons,” she continued. “But I didn’t, and neither did he.”

Moore admitted the split “wasn’t easy at first, but we managed to move the heart of our relationship, the heart of what created out family, into something new that gave the girls a loving, supportive environment with both parents.”

In fact, Moore said, “We felt more connected than we did before the divorce.”

 

 

Also narrating all that happened in her 8 year marriage to her much-younger ex-husband Ashton Kutcher, the  “G.I. Jane” star  said she was coerced into threesomes that left her with feelings of “shame.”

 

“I put him first,” Moore wrote. “So when he expressed his fantasy of bringing a third person into our bed, I didn’t say no. I wanted to show him how great and fun I could be.”

Although Moore said the women who participated in the threesomes were “good people,” she called the experiences “a mistake.”

“Because we had brought in a third party into our relationship, Ashton said, that blurred the lines and, to some extent, justified what he’s done,” Moore wrote of her former husband’s alleged cheating.

 

On her  “gradual downward spiral” during her 45th birthday trip to Mexico, Demi said Kutcher took a drunken photo of her to shame her. She revealed that she started drinking heavily and was “passing out and slipping under the water” in a hot tub, an act which made Kutcher who carried her back to bed furious.

 

“Ashton had encouraged me to go in this direction. When I went too far, though, he let me know how he felt by showing a picture he’d taken of me resting my head on the toilet the night before,” she wrote. “It seemed like a good-natured joke at the time. But it was really just shaming.”

 

 

The actress lost a 6-months pregnancy, following a miscarriage she suffered 2 years into her marriage to Kutcher.

 

“I can’t even really bring fully to words how lost, empty, desperate, confused … I really lost sight of everything that was right in front of me, which was the family that I had,” Moore said of her feelings after losing the child, a girl who she would have named Chaplin Ray.

 

After her divorce from Kutcher in 2013, she began abusing substances like Vicodin and alcohol. She revealed that her three daughters stopped speaking to her, and her former husband and friend, Bruce Willis, grew distant as well.

 

“I lost me,” Moore told Diane Sawyer during her Good Morning America interview. “I think the thing if I were to look back, I would say I blinded myself and I lost myself.”

DSS Lied About Not Receiving Court Order – Femi Falana

Femi Falana, a Human rights activist and Omoyele Sowore’s lawyer has countered the Department of State Services (DSS) claim of not receiving a court order to release the “Revolution Now” convener.

 

Punch reported that DSS spokesperson Peter Afunaya, said they were yet to receive the court order for Mr Sowore’s release in a statement he released which was authorised by the Director-General of the agency, Yusuf Bichi.

 

“We have not received the court order. And his (Sowore’s) counsel is a very senior member of the bar and he knows the process to follow,” Mr Afunaya said.

 

When asked again if they have received the court papers in a telephone interview with Premium Times, the DSS spokesperson said “No we haven’t, thank you.”

 

Mr Falana however countered the claim by stating that he personally served the secret police the order and the notice of compliance by his client. He further said they were not directed by the court to serve any notice to the DSS but he did that for avoidance of doubt.

 

“First of all, their lawyer was in court. And he heard the order when it was made. As a legal practitioner, he had an obligation to inform his client. Secondly, since Sowore was to be released to me, I have been going to the SSS office personally since Tuesday.

“We were not directed to serve them. But we did that for the avoidance of doubt. We submitted his passports, got the affidavit of compliance and I personally served them. I also sent the copies to the SSS DG through his phone line, because I have his personal phone line.

“We were there for hours. The head of the legal department pleaded with me to return today (Thursday). When I returned, they locked the SSS gates against me,” Mr Falana said.

 

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria added that if the DSS is truly a law abiding institution, they would have sent their lawyers to verify if the Federal High Court ordered the release of Omoyele Sowore following report of its refusal to obey court orders in local and international media.

 

“I’m not sure the person who is making this statement has the authorisation of his principals. We have filed the form 48 regarding the contempt of court. And in that form, the court order was also included.

“The SSS has a duty to comply with this order and not only this one, but every other order regarding the liberty of Nigerians, because this is a constitutional democracy,” Mr Falana said.

Selena Gomez Speaks On The ‘Scariest’ Moment of Her Life And Her Battle With ‘Mental Health’

Entertainment Gists

By RIDROZAY | 28th September 2019

Selena Gomez is speaking out about her hiatus from the public spotlight and mental health journey.

 

About a year ago, the singer went off the grid as she announced she would be taking a break from social media and later checked herself into a facility for help with her mental health.

 

Gomez has now opened up about what she called the “scariest” time of her life and her decision to finally seek help while receiving the 2019 McLean Award at the McLean Hospital’s annual dinner held in Massachusetts.

 

In her acceptance speech at the award ceremony, she said; “I think that we are better when we tell the truth and, so, this is my truth. Last year, I was suffering mentally and emotionally, and I wasn’t able to stay all that kept together. I wasn’t able to hold a smile or to keep things normal. It felt like all of my pain and my anxiety washed over me all at once and it was one of the scariest moments of my life”.

 

Gomez then explained that after she sought out help, doctors were able to give her a clear diagnosis, which she said was both terrifying and a relief. “Terrified, obviously, because the veil was lifted, but relieved that I finally had the knowledge of why I had suffered for so many years with depression and anxiety,” the actress explained.

 

With her new knowledge, she said she felt equipped to face it head-on. And while it is still an ongoing battle, Gomez admitted that she is in a much better place a year later.

 

“After a year of a lot of intense work. I am happier, I am healthier, and I am in control of my emotions and thoughts more than I’ve ever been. So, I’m very happy about that” Gomez went on to say that while it isn’t easy to share her story with the world, she knows that others will benefit from hearing it.
