adidas Originals x Jeremy Scott have 
collaborated on a number of different models and designs over the years.
 The styling of their joint efforts are usually highly eccentric as JS 
has a unique way of expressing his designer's touch. But one particular 
design has come across as controversial because of its handcuff-like 
feature.<br />
The nickname to this adidas Originals model is the "Handcuff", two of
 which are seen in yellow on both sneakers. To some it may be a sick 
design but to others, it comes off as offensive, almost referring to 
times of slavery. One Facebook user says “I daresay that marketing &
 selling a shoe with a ‘chain &  shackle’ accessory is a very bad 
idea. The ‘chain & shackle’ image  has a bad connotation, that of 
slavery, in the African American  community. I think it’s inappropriate.
 The idea of being chained to Adidas or any object is repulsive.”<br />

Xclusive: This Man "Morufu Garba" Raped A Popular Fashion Desinger In Lagos [FULL STORY]

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://naijaxclusive.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="393" src="http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1240268%21/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/article-robinson3-0115.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
A 27- year-old man identified as  Morufu Garba is currently cooling his 
heels in police net for defrauding and  assaulting a 20 -year- old lady 
in Ebute-Metta area of Lagos, recently. The incident happened on the 
12th of April, 2013 at about 10pm; when the victim identified as  Aminat
 Ajala,  a  fashion designing apprentice at Ebute-Metta, returned from 
work; tired and hungry only to discover that there was no food in the 
house.<br />
<br />
She opted to go get some toast bread at a shop not too far from her 91, 
Freeman street residence, where she and her siblings live with their 
maternal grand mother, after the untimely death of their biological 
mother.<br />
<br />
Little did she know that Morufu Garba,  a notorious fraudster was 
lurking  somewhere in the neighbourhood, looking for an opportunity to 
play a fast one on unsuspecting ladies, of which she soon became a 
victim.<br />
<br />
Aminat Ajala told Crime Alert that she had walked few metres from her 
residence when she noticed that someone tapped her shoulders from 
behind; she turned to see a young man, walking close to her. He politely
 requested to have some chat with her, a request she granted. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
From that moment on, she alleged she was not in control of actions that 
ensued; as Morufu, told her he is a prophet with a special message for 
her. He further told her that it was revealed to him that she will be 
dead the very next day if certain sacrifice was not carried out; to this
 he demanded that she provide the money by all means to enable him 
cancel the death spell hanging around her.<br />
<br />
Afraid and under the influence of some power beyond her control, Aminat 
thought of ways to generate the money, as she had nothing on herself. 
She then revealed to Morufu that she is just an apprentice and has no 
money to that effect, he asked her if she knew any other means to raise 
the money, perhaps through her parents, or siblings, but warned her not 
to disclose the information to any one else.<br />
<br />
At that suggestion, she told him her grand Ma, who owns a buka on the 
street, has some money stuck in a refrigerator somewhere in her shop, 
that she also knows where the key is kept. He escorted her back to her 
residence to get the key, after she succeeded with that, she led him to 
the shop, and opened it.<br />
They opened the door and went straight to the refrigerator, she tried 
opening it, but encountered some difficulties as the padlock used in 
locking it could not open.  Morufu went out side, found an axe placed at
 a corner near the shop and used it to forcefully open the refrigerator 
and took over N80,000 kept t<br />
here.<br />
<br />
He then took her to meet another victim of his, a 22- year- old  hair 
dressing apprentice identified as Ruka, who lives on the  neighboring 
Glover street at Ebute-Metta, he claimed he was trying to also help 
perform some sacrifice to stop her mother from destroying her life. He 
had charged her N10,000; and she gave him N1,500, as what she had on her
 then.<br />
<br />
They agreed he will get the money over the weekend. After that,  he led 
her to the venue where he was to perform the sacrifice, some where in 
Makoko area of Lagos. On getting there, he took her to a one room 
apartment, spread a mat on the floor and asked her to take off her 
clothes and lie on the mat.<br />
<br />
She obeyed, and all she can recall was that she was rapéd. When he was 
done with his “sacrifice”, he inserted some objects suspected to be 
charm into her private part, and abandoned her there. The next day, 
still under the influence of the charm,  the lady managed to gather 
herself and left the place, but she had no clue where she was.   She was
 later found wandering in Makoko area by one of her neighbours from 
Freeman street. “He noticed my unusual behavior and suspected that 
something must have gone wrong somewhere , he brought me home. <br />
<br />
Crime Alert also gathered that members of the Ajala household were 
worried over the unusual disappearance of Aminat from home. It was 
gathered that after  they waited for her to return home with the toast 
bread to no avail, her grand mother, popularly called Alhaja was worse 
hit, as she was said to be apprehensive of the thought of what might 
have happened to her grand-daughter, not after their mother died at a 
premature age. She had organized a search party, and stayed awake till 
the next morning when Aminat was brought back by the neighbour.<br />
<br />
Recovery from the ordeal<br />
After Aminat was brought back home, the case was reported to the Oyingbo
 police station and she was taken to a clinic for medical check up, 
which confirmed that she was rapéd and bleeding. Aminat    gave her 
statement after she recovered from the ordeal. But when she took the 
policemen to the house where she was rapéd, Morufu was no where to be 
found.  <br />
<br />
<br />
When inquiries were made, neighbours at the place said they don’t know any body with the identity they described.<br />
<br />
To affect Morufu’s arrest, the Oyingbo police DPO invited Ruka, whom he 
was expecting N10,000 from, and tactically asked her to place a call to 
Garba on the number he gave her, to come get the money at Makoko 
junction. He swiftly came, and was arrested on the spot and thereafter 
charged to court.  Information from the court disclosed that Morufu 
Garba has been charged for a similar case in the past.<br />
