The trainee police officer knew the odds were against her when she entered the contest for plus-size lingerie brand, Curvy Kate. Sophia endured years of cruel taunts - “fatty”, “man-beast”, “whale” and even “big jugs” from a young age and never imagined she would have the courage to step out on stage in a bikini.

EFCC fails to produce Lamido, sons at court

The Economic and Finance Crime Commission (EFCC) Wednesday failed to produce the immediate past Governor of Jigawa state, Alhaji Sule Lamido, his two sons, Aminu and Mustapha in court barely 24 hour after they were picked up in Abuja. The Anti graffiti Agency had yesterday filed suit before a Federal High court, Kano accusing Lamido and his two sons of money laundering. However, the EFCC legal Director, Achile Okoroma told reporters at the Federal High Court premises that Sule Lamido’s absence alongside his two sons was due to cancellation of flight from Abuja. He assured that “baring any last minute change, Sule Lamido and his sons would be arranged Thursday”.
