 AG Moves to Decongest  Anambra Correctional Centres as Controller of Corrections Pays Visit. By Chinelo Okeke The Anambra State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Tobechukwu Nweke SAN, has reiterated his commitment to decongest correctional centres across the state through speedy dispensation of justice. Nweke made this known when the Anambra State Controller of Corrections, Ezinne Emele Onuoha, paid him a courtesy visit in his chambers at the Ministry of Justice, Awka. Speaking during the meeting, the Attorney General said many inmates remained in correctional facilities without trial, while some families were unaware of the whereabouts of their relatives in custody. He directed that a comprehensive inventory of inmates in all correctional centres in the state be compiled, especially awaiting-trial inmates, those granted bail but yet to perfect their bail conditions, those denied bail and remanded, as well as convicted persons serving various jail terms.

BILL COSBY FACES NEW S£XUAL ASSAULT LAWSUIT FROM FORMER PLAYBOY MODEL 



 Bill Cosby is facing a new lawsuit from former Playboy model Victoria Valentino, who says he drugged her and s£xually assaulted her.

The 80-year-old says Mr. Cosby r@ped her in 1969 after she had dinner with him.

Mr. Cosby was freed from prison in 2021 when his s£xual assault conviction was overturned.

Ms. Valentino filed the civil suit under a California law that has temporarily lifted the statute of limitations in s£xual assault cases.

In the lawsuit, she alleges that after ingesting pills Mr. Cosby offered to her and her friend, Mr. Cosby took them to a nearby office. There, she says she became unconscious and was ass@ulted after waking up.

She told Mr. Cosby “I want to go home now”, according to the filing, which adds she was “incapable of consent” and physically helpless”.

Ms. Valentino is seeking unspecified damages, court and attorney fees.

The BBC has reached out to Mr. Cosby for comment.

In a statement, Ms. Valentino said the trauma the 85-year-old inflicted on her has affected “not only me, but my children and grandchildren”.

“By breaking my silence and speaking my truth, I hope this serves as my legacy to my family, and shows those survivors who have yet to find their voices, that hope and healing are possible,” she said in the statement shared with US media.

A representative for Mr. Cosby, Andrew Wyatt, told US media outlets Ms. Valentino’s claims were “without any proof or facts” and said she had “inconsistencies in her many statements”.

Once known to millions as “America’s Dad”, Mr. Cosby starred in the 1980s hit sitcom The Cosby Show.

But his reputation was shattered after dozens of women came forward with stories of r@pe, s£xual har@ssment and s£xual misconduct from as early as the 1960s. Mr. Cosby has consistently denied the allegations, claiming all of his s£xual encounters were consensual.

In 2018, in Pennsylvania, he was convicted of aggravated indecent ass@ult against a woman, Andrea Constand.

But the conviction was overturned after the state’s highest court found that Mr. Cosby should not have been put on trial because he had reached an agreement with a previous prosecutor in 2005 that he would not be charged
 Last year, in a civil case, a jury in California found Mr. Cosby had s£xually assaulted a 16 year old in 1975 at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles. He was ordered to pay $500,000 (£399,000) in damages.
