A beautiful Tanzania woman who was buried alive by her boyfriend, allegedly for money rituals, has been rescued after eight months.
The photo of the lady before and after her ordeal, has gone viral on social media and has brought tears to many eyes.
It was gathered that the once very pretty lady who now looks like a skeleton, was buried alive completely naked, in a deep pit by a man she once loved and fed once in two weeks, before she was rescued by the police after a tip off by his neighbours.

Two suicide bombers died on Thursday when they targeted a school in northern Cameroon, local officials said, the latest attack in the central African country which is struggling to contain violence blamed on Boko Haram militants in neighbouring Nigeria.
There were no other reported deaths in the double suicide bomb attack, though an unknown number of people were injured, one official said.
“The double attack occurred in the public school in the town of Kerawa,” the official said.
While there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, northern Cameroon has become the scene of increasingly frequent suicide attacks as Boko Haram Islamist militants step up cross-border violence that has also affected Chad and Niger.
An attack targeting a market in north Cameroon three days ago killed 32 people and wounded 66 in one of the deadliest attacks in the country to date.
One source said the school in Kerawa targeted on Thursday had been housing Nigerian refugees.
Boko Haram has killed thousands of people and driven more than two million from their homes during its six-year insurgency in one of the world’s poorest regions.

Senator Dino Melaye has reportedly described Senate President, Bukola Saraki as irremovable.
Melaye made the comment on Wednesday, January 27, 2016, during the inauguration ceremony of Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, according to The Cable.
“I have the privilege to appreciate the best chairman of the best political party in south of the Sahara and north of the Limpopo, former governor, former permanent secretary, the only authentic chairman that produced the most transparent president in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun,” he said.
“May I also have the honour and privilege to introduce the representative of the irremovable president of the senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, ably represented here today by the chairman of the committee on works, former governor of Kano state, Senator Kabiru Gaya.
“May I also have the privilege to introduce the speaker by force of the house of representatives ably represented here by Hon. Pategi, talking about Hon. Yakubu Dogara.
“Kogi state said yes to Abubakar Audu, the entire north-central said yes to Abubakar Audu but the Almighty voted for Yahaya Bello. Give 3 hehyah to the PDP.
“Bye bye to jakujaku! Bye bye to WadaWada! Insha Allah! Bye bye to jakujaku! We are here to make history. There is no better time to ameliorate to palliate, to correct all the rubbish and beautiful nonsense that has bedeviled our state for the past 12 years.
“I want to apologise on behalf of the outgoing government of Kogi state for the rigorous exercise of coming into Kogi state. The roads are bad, students are not in school, salaries have not been paid.
“Someone told me that even the political appointees of the governor have not received salary in four months. I assure you that the era of change is here. Today a minority in Kogi state is the governor of Kogi state,” he said.
Meanwhile, Bello, who was inaugurated without a deputy, has promised to rule the state with fairness.

Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana, has replied the former minister of finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s comments about him.
You will recall that the ex-minister alleged that Falana made the statement because she “hurt the interests of his corrupt sponsors” while she was in office.
Falana, in his reply, said Iweala’s service to Nigeria was characterised by lies and deceit.
He said “Her baseless attack is not unusual as she is always quick to deflect criticisms by accusing anyone seeking to hold her to account for her appalling records in government of ulterior political motives.
“When former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, alleged that about N30tn could not be accounted for under her watch, he was described as ‘an embittered loser in the Nigerian political space.”
“When Governor Adams Oshiomhole questioned the illegal withdrawal of $2bn from the Excess Crude Account, he was accused of having animus towards her because she had blocked Edo State from obtaining a loan.
“Therefore, instead of exchanging vulgar abuse with the former minister, I shall respond to the diversionary allegations which lacerated her response and the attempt to extricate herself from the mass looting of the commonwealth under her watch,” Falana said.
Punch reports that the human rights lawyer also faulted claims by Okonjo-Iweala, saying that only $500m was recovered from the Abacha loot.
Femi Falana was the Ekiti state Governorship candidate of the National Conscience Party(NCP) in 2007.

The House of Representatives, on Thursday mandated its Committee on Ethics and Privileges to investigate the alleged sharing of N50 million and 150 motorcycles to members by the House leadership.
This followed a point of privilege raised by Rep. Yakubu Barde (Kaduna-PDP), the Deputy Minority Whip.
The lawmaker alleged that a member, Rep. Mohammed Abubakar (Kaduna-APC) had granted an interview on a local radio station, saying that money and motorcycles were given to members.
Barde said that the issue needed to be investigated because he did not collect such money or motorcycle.
According to him, he has been under pressure by his constituents who are demanding for their share of the money and motorcycles.
“This is an allegation, considering the present economic situation of Nigeria. As lawmakers, we have to be very careful to ensure our image is not tarnished.
“Nigerians need to know what really happened,’’ Barde said.
In his ruling, the Speaker of the House, Mr Yakubu Dogara referred the matter to the committee, and urged it to report back to the House within four weeks.

An Oyo State High Court, Ibadan on Thursday fixed Feb. 16 for hearing in a motion seeking to stop the Olubadan-in-Council from appointing the new Olubadan of Ibadan land.
Justice Muktar Abimbola fixed the date at the resumed hearing of a case filed by Chief Adebayo Oyediji and others against the state government, the Council and other contending lines to Olubadan throne.

Adediran said the respondents ought to have filed their counter-motion. He alleged that the respondents were seeking the adjournment to delay hearing in the motion and fill the position of Olubadan before the next hearing date.
The lawyer drew the attention of the court to its subsisting order of interim injunction restraining the respondents from filling any of vacant high chief positions of and the Olubadan.
He alleged that the Olubadan and the Balogun lines had disobeyed the order of the court by filling all the vacant high chief positions – “Ekerin’’, “Asipa’’, “Otun’’ and “Osi’’.
Adediran prayed the court to set aside all the purported appointments. Other respondents in the suit are Chief Adeleke Ajani, Chief Saliu Adetunji and Chief Busari Alarape.

President Muhammadu Buhari has sent two bills to the National Assembly which are aimed at boosting the war against money laundering in the country.
The bills are titled, “The Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Bill, 2016” and “The Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Bill, 2016.”
The letter to which the bills were attached was read by Senate President, Bukola Saraki and House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara to legislators during the Assembly’s plenary session on Wednesday, January 27, 2016.
According to Buhari, the first bill seeks to repeal the existing Money Laundering Act to allow for stronger punishments against money launderers while the second will make provisions that will enable Nigeria seek international assistance in recovering looted funds.
The letter reads in part:
“This bill seeks to facilitate the provision and obtaining by Nigeria of international assistance in criminal matters, including the provision and obtaining of evidence and things, the making of arrangements for persons to give evidence or assist in criminal investigations, the recovery, forfeiture or confiscation of property in respect of offences…”
“It seeks to provide protection for employees of various institutions, bodies and professions who may discover money laundering and enhance customer due diligence.”
“It provides appropriate penalties and expand the scope of supervisory bodies. It also recognises the role of certain self-regulatory organisations to address the challenges faced in the implementation of comprehensive anti-money regime.”
Buhari has emphasized the commitment of his administration to rid Nigeria of corruption and has vowed to recover all stolen public funds no matter where they might be hidden.
