Man charged with manslaughter after killing thug who beat and tried to rape his wife has been released

A New York City man and father of three, 61 year old Mamadou Diallo who beat his wife’s would-be rapist to death was released from jail on Tuesday evening after appearing in a Bronx Criminal court.

 He was cheered and hailed by members of the Guinean community and his family after the judge freed him on his own recognizance.

Diallo was arrested on Monday night and charged with manslaughter after surveillance cameras inside his Washington Avenue apartment captured him bludgeoning Earl Nash to death with a tire iron inside his Bronx apartment building elevator.
Diallo said he was outside his building when his wife, 51 year old Nenegale Diallo, called and said a man had broken into their apartment, dropped his pants and said, ‘I’m going to rape you.’

Nash

The attacker, identified as 43 year old Nash had a lengthy criminal record. Nash has 14 prior arrests. He served five years behind bars for a 2006 conviction for selling drugs and bribery. He was released in February 2011, returned the next April, and then was released July 2015.

Diallo ran inside and found his wife naked in the hallway, she said she saw Nash trying to run away and told her husband that the attacker was trying to escape.

She told the NY Daily News: ‘While it was going on, I was thinking I was going to die. I told my husband, “Don’t let him out!”‘

The husband ran after Nash, caught up with him as he got inside the elevator on the sixth floor and fractured his skull with the steel lever as Nash tried to fight back with his belt. The elevator was covered in Nash blood from his fractured skull.

Nash died at Lincoln Hospital from ‘severe trauma to his head and body’ about three hours later, according to police.

Several hours before the attack, Nash slipped past the apartment building entrance around 10pm on Monday night by following a resident in. He was also seen in surveillance cameras lurking inside the hallway and elevator.

He knocked on a number of apartments asking for water before knocking on Diallo’s door, the wife, Nenegale  Diallo, opened the door thinking it was her son. Nenegale’s sister was also home at the time.
Nash forced his way in, locked the door behind him and started taking off his pants.

When Nenegale offered him money, he reportedly said: ‘I don’t wan’t money. I’m going to rape you.’
Nash then struggled with both women, attacking the sister first before hitting Nenegale in the head with a chair and tearing off her clothes after she tried to run to the door for help.

The two sisters fought with Nash for about 20 minutes and managed to fight him off long enough for Nenegale to call her husband.

After Diallo came to his wife’s rescue and fractured Nash’s skull, they called the Police.
The Police arrested Diallo and charged him with manslaughter. But he claimed self defense as he was led away by the Police. He said: “Self-defense. He threatened my wife. He threatened my wife,”

In court, Diallo’s attorney called the incident an attack on Diallo’s family under extreme circumstances, and asked for the judge to release the cab driver and father of three on his own recognizance. He is due back in court on June 27.

In 2003, Nash pleaded guilty to the unlawful imprisonment of a 17-year-old, who he held captive for two days, after which authorities said she was sexually abused, stabbed and beaten.

Skales And His Manager, Osagie Osarenkhoe Arrested For Fraud

Popular musician, Skales has been taken into police custody along with his manager, Osagie Osarenkhoe on allegations of fraud. Both of them were accused of committing fraud against Skales’ record label, Baseline Records and diverting funds meant for the record company into their own pockets.
An insider who identified himself as Wale Ewedemi said the duo had confessed to embezzling over 10 million Naira from the label.
He said:

“Skales and His Manager Osagie have been remanded in Police Custody after confessing to various charges of fraud and diversion of Baseline Records funds.They are currently assisting the Police in unraveling the extent of the fraud. Running into tens of millions of naira.
At the inception of the contract, he was given a fully furnished luxury apartment in Lekki in a gated estate, with a brand new customized SUV. And a multi-million Naira sign on Fee. The record label also gave him a free hand to select and run his brand, supported by a multi million Naira corporate expense account. Skales behavior has reduced the appetite of the Record label to assist other young talents to achieve their full potential.”

Popular Cool FM OAP, Freeze had this to say on the issue and the recent trend of artistes having legal issues with their record labels:

“@kaylahoniwo and I talked about this on @coolfmlagos today on the #RoadShow. Many of these artistes are from the hood. One small hit and they upgrade their transportation from Marwa and Molue to a 2006 Range Rover or G wagon with 2014 body kit, then they upgrade their housing from mushin or Aj city to LEKKI phase one…. But the problem is they don’t upgrade their minds!!! They do business with intelligent and witty entrepreneurs while using their ‘Molue mentality’, not realizing that a contract is a contract and GRA-GRA cannot break it!

The other day DJ Zeez was asked to pay his record label N21m, then the vector issue, then Runtown was issued a court injunction restraining him from performing and now skales allegedly sleeping inside police cell!!
 
Upcoming artistes abeg make una learn how to read book, no be everything be swag, no be everything be gra-gra! Please don’t jump and sign your life away for a plate of porridge!
UPGRADE YOUR MINDS!!!! Still trying to get Osagie and Skales for their own side of the story so expect more updates tomorrow…. In the meantime remember to read whatever u sign o! And make sure u have a good lawyer…”
