2 Face’s fiance and long time heartthrob, Annie Macaulay, has reacted to the wicked rumour that her man  was involved in a Jet Ski crash while on a vacation early Monday morning in the Turks and Calcos Island. Annie, inundated with calls and apparently worried, wrote on her BB’ status: “My fiance is WELL , STRONG n HAPPY…pls stop d rumours.”

She hinted that he has since traveled to the United States to begin recording of  his new album and is due to come back soon.

Anne was not the only person who reacted to the death rumour. 2Face’s publicist Bayo Omisere also confirmed to  WG over the phone that not only was the story untrue, it was baseless.

“We dealt with the issue in September, 2011 and it is the same website that has gone on to do a repeat performance. Nigerians should ignore the mischief makers as 2 Face is not only alive, but busy working on his new album project in Los Angeles, California, United States of America ”, the publicists affirmed.

A Nigerian man on a suicide mission for al-Qaidawas sentenced Thursday to life in prison for attempting to blow up an international flight with a bomb in his underwear as the plane approached Detroit on Christmas 2009.

The mandatory punishment for Umar Farouk , the well-educated son of a wealthy banker, was never in doubt after he surprised the courtroom and pleaded guilty to all charges on the second day of trial last fall.

Abdulmutallab sat with his hands folded under his chin, leaning back in his chair as the sentence was announced.

In October, Abdulmutallab said the bomb in his underwear was a “blessed weapon” to avenge poorly treated Muslims around the world. It failed to fully detonate aboard an Amsterdam-to-Detroit flight but caused a brief fire that badly burned his groin. Passengers pounced on Abdulmutallab and forced him to the front of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 where he was held until the plane landed minutes later. Read More →
