24-year-old Jessica Tata from Texas, is
facing life in prison for the death of the
four young kids who were left in her care.
Prosecutors allege that she went shopping
at Walmart while leaving her daycare
children home alone, when a fire broke
out killing four young children.
Tata was seen on the security cameras
shopping at Walmart. It is believed that
the fire started after Tata left a frying pan
with oil on a stove while she went out to
run errands.
Two days after the incident, Tata fled to
Nigeria. She was later arrested and
extradited to the United States after a
joint effort of the U.S. Marshals and
Interpol.
The fire killed Shomari Dickerson, Kendyll
Stradford, Elias Castillo and Elizabeth
Kajoh, all less than three years old. Three
other children in her care were left in
critical condition and they were taken to
the Shriner’s burn hospital.
Tracy Storms, who lost her grandson
Shomari in the fire, told reporters: “Sorry,
there is no forgiveness for anyone who
makes an income watching children and
has an audacity to leave them alone even
for a second. I don’t understand how this
woman can look herself in the mirror
knowing that she destroyed seven
children.”
This was not her first brush with fire. In
2002 Tata was accused of setting fire to
the building of her schools. “We were told
that Jessica had set a fire in not one but
two places. She had set fire to the east
wing and the west wing with toilet paper
hanging from the ceiling,” a classmate
said.
Tata is facing life in prison for murder,
reckless injury and neglect, but her
lawyers are arguing that she never
intended to harm the children, therefore
a murder charge is too harsh.

The trend of sneaking in to carry out
isolated attacks on soft targets like
students is a typical end-game strategy
often employed by insurgents all over the
world. This was made known by the
defence headquarters on wednesday.
They also said the killings of scores of
people in Borno and Yobe in the past few
days are signs that the Boko Haram
terrorists are losing the battle against
government forces.
Seven secondary school students and two
teachers were killed in Damaturu, the
Yobe State capital when gunmen, believed
to be Boko Haram, attacked a
government school on Sunday. A day
later, suspected Boko Haram gunmen
attacked two different locations, a school
and a fishing village, in Maiduguri, Borno
State capital, killing nine students and 13
fishermen.
In a statement signed by the Director of
Defence Information, Brigadier General
Chris Olukolade, the Nigerian military said
the recent activities are signs of
desperation of a decimated insurgent
group attempting to hang on to public
consciousness.
With the destruction of their operational
bases and camps by the Special Forces,
the group’s centre of gravity had been
effectively dislocated, he said. He said this
had made it impossible for the terrorists
to have freedom of action to operate as
they did previously.
The military also said eight of the
suspected terrorists have been
apprehended in the outskirts of
Maiduguri.
The statement said Special Forces have
stepped up the mop-up, cordon and
search operations “to ensure that the
vestiges of terrorism are effectively
decimated.
“The DHQ has noted a number of attacks
and killing of innocent citizens ostensibly
carried out by terrorists in Yobe and
Borno in the last couple of days.
“Although this isolated incidents were
undertaken by relocating terrorists, the
whole trend and development remains
unfortunate and condemnable.
“Nevertheless, the public is hereby
reassured that these incidences are by no
means indicative of a relapse in the
counter-insurgency operation aimed at
curbing terrorists’ activities in the
country.”
The military, however, urged the public to
continue to report any suspicious
movement to security agents.
Here is what the actress said in a recent
interview;
"Even if you want to advise someone,
there is a way you can say it not by
insulting people because you feel you
can just write or talk anyhow on social
media. No! Anybody that insults me on
social media, I will insult back. Yes,
because it doesn’t make one feel
good."
