Michael Adebolajo, one of the men who were accused of hacking a British Soldier, Drummer Lee Rigby to death near Woolwich Barracks in South East London on May 22 is in the news again.

The 28-year-old who's standing trial on November 18 was reportedly attacked in HMP Belmarsh prison yesterday by unknown men suspected to be prison officers. Two of his frontal teeth were knocked out in the process.

However, a spokeswoman of the Prison Service stated that the matter is currently being investigated.

Her own side of the story has finally surfaced. When the news of her failed marriage seeped into public space via her husband's facebook posts few days ago, not a few were shocked. And many,

inspite of the overwhelming evidence (husband's posts) deemed it a lie particularly because no word came from her.

Apparently pressurised from different quarters, the popular actress broke her silence on the issue yesterday. In an SMS message she sent to a Nation newspaper writer, the Vitafoam ambassador wrote,

"My marriage is intact. I read in the newspaper yesterday that I am divorced. What proof do you have? And I am taking this to court because my marriage is intact. You guys are rumour mongers. Funke Akindele Oloyede."

She's still upping the ante! 36 year-old Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has added another prestigious award to her shelf.

Her third novel, AMERICANAH has just won the 2013 Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize for fiction. Created in 1988 by the Chicago Tribune Newspaper, the annual prize is awarded to fiction and non-fiction books that reinforce and perpetuate the values of heartland America.

Speaking shortly on the winner, Elizabeth Taylor, Literary Editor, The Chicago Tribune revealed, "We loved AMERICANAH. It's a powerful, resonant novel and we would be delighted to celebrate it and try to share it with a wider audience."

"I'm very pleased. You never know what will happen when you write a novel. And for me, a Nigerian, to have written this book which is partly about America, and to receive this quintessentially American prize means that I have said something about America as seen through Nigerian eyes that Americans find interesting. I take that as a wonderful compliment. It reminds me of the ability of literature to make us become briefly alive in bodies not our own." The elated writer reacted to the honour.
