Police say Anneisha Speed, 19, was at the victim's Labelle Avenue apartment Monday when things went south. According to arrest records, the man invited Speed to his apartment after the two spent much of the day together. Once inside the apartment, the victim says Speed asked him to perform oral sex for her. He declined, and Speed responded by whipping out a .40 handgun, the affidavit says. Speed allegedly aimed the gun at the man and threatened to shoot him if he didn't give in to her demands. When the man grabbed Speed's wrist, she apparently fired a round into the wall. He then ran out onto the second-floor balcony and jumped to the ground as another shot was fired in his direction, police records say. Officers found Speed outside the apartment a short while later.

‘Smart phones, internet threat to reading culture’

Image
The use of smart phones and internet has affected reading culture, encouraged examination malpractices, cultism and other vices among students, the Director of National Education Academy, Prof. Adams Agahiu, has said. While speaking to our correspondent recently, Agahiu advised the government to fund education adequately, pay teachers handsomely and promptly so they could focus on better service delivery. He said, “A situation where teachers and universities have to source for extra funds to feed their families often creates gaps for indiscipline and this makes the students do whatever they like without being attended to. “Teaching abroad is smooth because they pay wages as and when due, but you must work to their satisfaction or lose your job. Therefore, Nigerian government should replicate such discipline in our schools to instil discipline in the teachers and students. Education must be student-centred as teachers must always impact knowledge and morals in the

How to restore electronics damaged by flood

What makes water so destructive to technology? Water in its purest form, such as distilled water, is rather harmless. However, impure water, which includes a hefty dose of minerals, salt and other ions, is ruinous to electronics. Tap water and drinking water are examples of impure water. When these tiny minerals and salts infiltrate your device via a flood of impure water, they settle inside the electronics, crea
