White Florida Woman Sentenced to 25 Years for Killing Nigerian Neighbor Through Door
Susan Lorincz, a white Florida woman, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for fatally shooting her Black Nigerian neighbor, Ajike “AJ” Owens, through a closed door in June 2023.
Lorincz was found guilty of manslaughter in August. The shooting occurred after a dispute over children playing near her home in Ocala, Florida. Owens, a 35-year-old mother of four, was unarmed and knocking on Lorincz’s door when she was shot.
Judge Robert Hodges called the shooting unnecessary, noting Lorincz was behind a locked door and had already called 911. Instead of remaining safe, she retrieved a gun and fired.
Neighbors accused Lorincz of frequently harassing local children and using racial slurs, which she denied. Owens’ family expressed their lasting grief, with her mother stating, “Our pain and suffering will last a lifetime.”
Though the maximum sentence was 30 years, the court deemed 25 years appropriate for the crime.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
