Diddy Removed from Suicide Watch Amid Sex Trafficking Allegations
Disgraced American rapper and music executive, Sean Combs, aka Diddy, has been reportedly removed from suicide watch.
JOMOGNEWS NIGERIA recalls that Diddy was reportedly placed on suicide watch in prison after he was arrested on September 16, by Homeland Security on suspicion of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and interstate transportation for prostitution.
In an article published on September 29, People reported that a law enforcement source exclusively told the news outlet that the rapper was no longer on suicide watch.
Another source also revealed that Diddy has visited with family while at the detention facility, where he is currently in custody before his court appearance in early October.
“He is focused and very strong. He is concentrating on his defence and preparing for his trial,” People quoted Diddy’s lawyer as saying.
Federal officers seized supplies that they say were intended for use in orgies known as “freak offs”, including drugs and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil during the raiding of Diddy’s Beverly Hills mansion in March.
The rapper’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, suggested in a TMZ Studios documentary, ‘The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment’, that his client had 1,000 bottles of baby oil because he buys them in bulk from Costco, which the company denied.
Diddy has denied all the charges, entering a not-guilty plea on Tuesday, 17 September.
However, the Bad Boy Records’ boss’ bail request was rejected twice.

Rivers: APC Factional Chairman, Okocha Admits Rigging Election Under Amaechi
Embattled Rivers State factional chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Tony Okocha, has admitted to rigging local government elections under former governor Rotimi Amaechi’s tenure.
Okocha said his rigging of local government elections under Amaechi’s tenure was not a secret.
Okocha served as the Chief of Staff to Amaechi from 2007 to 2015.
However, in an interview with Channels TV programme, Okocha said he should be praised for being a whistleblower.
According to the embattled APC chairman, election riggers should not be behind bars.
He said, “On the issue of whether I rigged the election, I did not hide it. I should be praised as a whistleblower.
“If you were an armed robber yesterday, and today you came to confess that you stole something somewhere yesterday. Are you saying that the law will now take a retroactive effect? The answer is No.
“The reason why we say and keep saying is because of what is going on as we speak. When you have an idea of a thing and you see the other person also wants to use the tactics that you already know, you will shout. That is the reason why we went to court.”
