VIDEO: Rihanna Grabbed At UK Gig, Hits Person With Microphone

Rihanna has been caught on camera hitting a concertgoer with her microphone after they refused to let her go as she walked through the crowd.

The incident occurred during one of RiRi's UK Diamonds world tour dates in Birmingham as the Bajan babe sung her smash hit single We Found Love when walking among her fans.

Footage of the episode has since emerged on YouTube, where the unidentified person appeared to get a firm grip on Rihanna's arm - resulting in the Stay hitmaker lashing out with her microphone in a bid to free herself.

A member of the audience later took to Twitter to write: "[Rihanna] just hit someone with her mic on accident haha oops."

However, RiRi was keen to reveal that she acted in self-defence, replying: "Purpose! That b*tch won't let me go."

Two Nigerian students in Canada spend one year in Churches while their colleagues graduates

Victoria Ordu has one wish for her 22nd birthday on June 28 - to be granted permission to continue her studies at the University of Regina.

She and fellow Nigerian student Ihuoma Amadi have been in sanctuary for one year today; compelled into hiding after they were ordered to leave Canada for unknowingly breaking their study permits by working for two weeks off-campus.

The Leader-Post told their story last September, but after spending 12 months in the sanctuary of a Regina church, they look years wearier than they did then.

Kay Adebogun, a Regina immigration consultant who took on their case pro bono, speaks about keeping the faith and remaining strong.

As he does so, Amadi scrunches her hands into fists and puts them over her eyes, her head hanging down.

Unlike September, neither of the girls cries; it seems almost as though they've shed the tears they have.

"It's emotionally draining," admits Ordu.

"We can only hope for the best and pray (immigration minister) Jason Kenney makes a decision that will help us."

She looks at her feet, playing with her flip-flops.

The birth of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter on Saturday caused a frenzy that is getting even hotter. Because the race is on to see just what this baby looks like, and when it comes to getting the first glimpse, this tiny tot means big business.

But we do know that baby Kimye was born "with a price on her head," says Howard Bragman, vice chairman of Reputation.com. "Can you imagine being a paparazzi and snapping a photo of this baby?

A Delta State High Court at Ughelli has convicted two persons for gang-raping a 17-year old girl after robbing her parents of valuables, and thereby sentenced them to life imprisonment.
