Two police officers have been cleared over the death of a 12-year-old boy who was shot dead while waving a toy gun in a playground .

Tamir Rice was fatally wounded after police were called to reports he had a gun while in a playground in Cleveland, Ohio, in November 2014.

Cops released footage of the incident after the schoolboy’s family demanded it to be made public.

The CCTV video shows rookie officer Timothy Loehmann, 26, shooting the youngster who was later found to be carrying an “airsoft” gun.

Moments before Rice can be seen walking around the park with the toy weapon in his hand talking on his mobile phone as police arrive.

On Monday, a grand jury cleared Loehmann and his partner, Frank Garmback after finding a series of mistakes but no criminal activity, prosecutors said.

The decision sparked outrage on social media and fuelled calls for protests around the US days after another fatal shooting by Chicago police of two black residents increased pressure on that department and Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

The Ohio grand jury had heard weeks of testimony on the Rice shooting, which occurred within seconds after police reached a park next to a Cleveland recreation center in response to reports of a suspect with a gun. Rice died the next day.

 

The shooting was one of several that have fuelled scrutiny of police use of deadly force, particularly against minorities. The officers are white and Rice was black.

Rice was holding a replica handgun when Officer Loehmann shot him within seconds of reaching the park in a squad car driven by Garmback.”Simply put, given this perfect storm of human error, mistakes and miscommunications by all involved that day, the evidence did not indicate criminal conduct by police,” Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty told a news conference.

Nasboi alleges death threat for criticising Wizkid’s remark on Don Jazzy

Nasboi, the Nigerian skit maker, has alleged that he received a death threat following his criticism of Wizkid’s recent remarks aimed at Don Jazzy.

In April, the ‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker mocked Davido and Don Jazzy, the Mavin Records head honcho.

Wizkid called Don Jazzy an “influencer” while taunting Davido with a video of him on his knees, pleading and crying.

The singer’s post attracted criticism against him on social media.

In an interview with the Bahd And Boujee Podcast, Nasboi voiced his disapproval, stating that Wizkid was “wrong” to label Don Jazzy as an “influencer“.

During another chat with Cool FM, the skit maker claimed he was sent a death threat for “merely expressing my opinion”.

He also questioned why celebrities like him are restricted in expressing their opinions compared to ordinary people.

“It is like once you are a celebrity, you do not have an opinion. But you, who is a normal guy on the street, you have an opinion. You can decide to say you love Wizkid over Davido and that is okay. And me, who is a normal guy who is a celebrity, should not have the same privilege?” Nasboi asked.

“Because of what I said in my recent podcast interview. It is a simple question: Do you think Wizkid offended Don Jazzy with his statement? They asked me a direct question and I think yes. For calling him an influencer, I feel like the context was not okay. I would feel bad. And because of what I said about WizKid, somebody is in my DM saying I will die like my brother.”

Adekunle Gold and Samklef have engaged in a heated war of words on X, formerly known as Twitter.

On Sunday, Samklef said he once “had feelings for Simi” but never showed interest because he wanted to maintain a professional relationship with the songstress.

In another post, he labelled Simi and Ric Hassani, another Nigerian singer, as the two “most ungrateful” artistes he has ever worked with.

The tweets angered Gold who then warned Samklef to stop disrespecting his wife.

“When will it be your turn to receive sense from your 7th heaven? Because you are clearly lost in your own damn mind. Simi does not owe you shit and it is about time you stopped calling her name every 3 market days. If anything, you owe me! Stop fooling around and act your age!” Gold wrote.

Samklef responded with a jab at Simi’s success.

“Dear I Adekunle I made your wife Simi. Cry 😿,” he wrote.

Gold then fired back, calling the music producer “an idiot and a fool”.

“Congratulations. Now make yourself! idiot. You are pushing 40 and look at what’s left of your legacy; foolishness. Aridin Agba,” he wrote.
