| Woman sets husband’s 10-year-old brother ablaze in Lagos Posted: 25 Sep 2017 03:47 AM PDT  The offence of the young boy from Ishielu, Ebonyi State, was that he misplaced his trousers and could not produce them when Gift demanded them from him. Residents of the community, who heard the cry of the victim, put out the fire, during which he reportedly passed out. Chimobi was subsequently rushed to the Ikorodu General Hospital, Ikorodu. Policemen from the Igbogbo division were said to have arrested the suspect. According to Punch, officials of the Office of the Public Defender, who had been monitoring the treatment of Chimobi, took him into custody. A source said the child was brought to Lagos in 2016 by the brother to start living with his family. He said since then, Gift had been abusing Chimobi, adding that matter came to a head when she set him ablaze that Wednesday. He said, "He is the younger brother of the man, who is a security guard in a firm. He was not enrolled in any school after he was brought from the village. The brother wanted him to be assisting the wife, who had a baby about a year ago, with house chores and other things. "The woman has been abusing him for some time now. There are marks of past floggings on his body. He also has sores. "People in the community could no longer keep quiet when the last incident happened on Wednesday, September 6. She poured kerosene on the boy and lit him with a matchstick." Chimobi said he had some education before he was brought to Lagos from Ebonyi. He explained that his brother and his wife had refused to enrol him in a school since he started living with them. "I misplaced my trousers and 'mummy' (sister-in-law) poured kerosene on me and used a matchstick to light fire. People came to help me. I have not been going to school since they brought me from the village," he said. The Police Public Relations Officer, Olarinde Famous-Cole, confirmed the incident. He noted that Gift had been granted bail because of her child, saying she was mandated to be reporting at the police station daily. Director of the OPD, Mrs. Olubukola Salami, said the victim had been taken into protective custody. She said, "This is a case of assault occasioning grievous bodily harm and also an abuse of the child. The Government of Lagos state is poised to putting an end to all forms of domestic violence and child abuse. The OPD has been mandated to ensure that justice is done and the perpetrator brought to book for this barbaric act."  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |

| Teenage Girl Disappears On Her Way To School Posted: 25 Sep 2017 03:22 AM PDT  Guardians of Asmau Ajibade, a JSS 2 pupil of Agbara Commuinty Junior Secondary School, Ogun State, are in distress over her whereabouts seven days after she left home for school. The girl lived with the guardians - Alhaji Rauf Adetona and Alhaja Ajarat Adetona - on Area 8, Road 810, Block AM, Plot 18, OPIC Estate, Agbara, off Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Ogun State. Punch learnt that Ajibade had left the house at about 7.30am last Monday in her school uniform. The belief in the house was that she had gone to school. The guardians became apprehensive when it was 4pm and she had not returned home. Record of the school reportedly revealed that she was absent that day. Ajarat said the girl had been living with them since she was four years old, adding that she was surprised by her disappearance. She said it's the first time she would leave home without returning. She said, "She went to school on Monday and has not returned. Her teachers told us that she didn't come to school that day. "But a cobbler around here told us that he fixed her torn sandal that morning. The cobbler said she seemed to be in a hurry as she told him that somebody was waiting for her. "She had never done anything like this, although her teachers had told us that she was keeping bad company; and I warned her to stop associating with bad people. "Her parents had divorced. His father died while she was six months old. She had been living with us for 11 years now. Her attitude that morning did not show that she planned to do anything." Rauf said he was on his farm when a call came in that Ajibade was missing. He said they were told at the school that Ajibade might have absconded with some of her school friends, adding that the incident had been reported at the Agbara Police Station. He said, "She always prepared the food she would eat at the school and did same that morning. My wife gave her money in addition to the food and she thanked Alhaja and left. I went to my farm around 9am. At about 4pm, my wife called me that Asmau (Ajibade) had not come back home. "I told her to be patient because she came home around 3.30pm at times. When it was 5pm, she called me back and said she had gone to Asmau's school, but she didn't see her. "On Tuesday, we went back to the school. The teachers at the school told us that she had become a wayward girl and had been moving with a friend who had been expelled from the school. "We reported at the police station on our estate and we were told to come back on Wednesday if we didn't see her. "On Wednesday, we were directed to the Agbara Police Station. The police collected her picture from us and promised to radio other divisions. They said she might have eloped with a boy."  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
| Diezani’s lawyer blocks EFCC from interrogating her in UK Posted: 25 Sep 2017 03:22 AM PDT  The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says its investigative team has not been allowed to meet with former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, in the United Kingdom, where she has been staying since 2015 when investigation into her tenure began. EFCC, in a counter-affidavit filed before Federal High Court, Abuja, said it had been investigating the ex-minister for various allegations of corrupt practices, including abuse of office, money laundering, stealing of public funds and illegal acquisition of properties within and outside Nigeria. But the commission stated that its efforts to interrogate her over the allegations had been abortive as her lawyer, John Binns of BCL Solicitors, refused to allow the commission's team of investigators, led by Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa, to meet with her in the UK earlier in March this year. The EFCC's counter-affidavit was in response to a motion filed by the former minister, seeking an amendment to the heading of the charges filed against a businessman, Mr. Olajide Omokore, and five others by adding her name to the list of defendants so that she could defend herself in respect of allegations against her in one of the nine counts. A detective, Rufai Zaki, who deposed to EFCC's counter-affidavit, added that it was not yet possible to bring the former minister back to Nigeria as she was being investigated by the UK's Metropolitan Police for several other financial crimes, saying the probe had reached an advanced stage. The EFCC had preferred nine counts of criminal diversion of about $1.6bn, alleged to be part of proceeds of sales of petroleum products belonging to the Federal Government, against Omokore and the other five defendants. In one of the nine counts, the anti-graft agency alleged that Alison-Madueke and other officials aided and abetted Omokore in committing money laundering offences in relation to the diversion of the crude oil money. Zaki, the deponent to the EFCC's counter-affidavit, stated that Alison-Madueke had absconded to the UK after leaving office in 2015 upon realising that EFCC had started investigation her activities.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |

| Cannabis-smoking Sergeant slaps DPO for arresting him Posted: 25 Sep 2017 02:47 AM PDT  It was learnt that the sergeant, identified as Agu, also allegedly slapped the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Lion Building Police Division, Lagos, who attempted to arrest him at the scene. The sergeant was also said to be armed and drunk. According to Punch, a resident had alerted the Area Commander, Area A, ACP Sola Akinyede, aka Solebo, to the conduct of the policeman at the event. It was said that the commander directed the DPO to go to the area and pick up the erring cop. Agu went haywire as the DPO, in company with some other policemen, wanted to arrest him. He reportedly engaged the DPO in an altercation and slapped his face. A resident, who spoke to Punch on condition of anonymity, said after Agu was overpowered, a team of policemen went to his house and recovered some quantities of cannabis. The resident said, "The sergeant was at the 155 anniversary of Epetedo on Friday, September 15. He was smoked from the beginning of the party till the early hours of Saturday. He shot into the air. Somebody called the Area Commander, who sent the DPO to the area together with some junior policemen. "He manhandled the DPO and slapped his face. A police team went to search his apartment at the police barracks on Beecroft Street, Lagos Island. They found Indian hemp in his house. He was detained at the Lion Building Police Station. He was at the event on illegal duty. "The police authorities have been pleading with the organisers of the event not to let the matter get into the public domain. The sergeant has been released." Another source stated that the policeman was attached to the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters Annex, Kam Salem House, Obalende. He said Agu was not sober when he was taken to the Area Commander, adding that a former Deputy Inspector-General (DIG) of Police had intervened in the matter to let the sergeant off the hook. Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, confirmed Agu's arrest. But he said he did not assault the DPO.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
| North won't give away its 'advantages' easily; says Northern Elders Forum Posted: 25 Sep 2017 02:47 AM PDT  The two bodies had consistently called for caution on such calls, arguing that such attempt might lead to the break-up of the country. On Sunday, the NEF said the North was ready for dialogue with other regions of the country, but would not give up what it called its advantages. On its part, the ACF gave conditions for supporting any call for the restructuring of the country. The National Publicity Secretary of the ACF, Alhaji Muhammad Biu, who stated this in an interview with one of our correspondents in Kaduna, said the forum respected any view that would strengthen the unity of the country with equal rights and opportunities for all citizens. The ACF and NEF said these while reacting to a statement by a former Lagos State Governor and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Tinubu, at a lecture organised by the King's College Old Boys' Association in Lagos, had stated that Nigeria needed restructuring for correct balance. He had stated, "It would be better to restructure things to attain the correct balance between our collective purpose on the one hand and our separate grass-roots realities on the other. We must listen to what is being said so that we can determine what it really meant. "We are like the bewildered couple who has got their marriage licence after a lavish wedding; yet, neither of them really understands the meaning of marriage or their roles as husband and wife in it. "Legally, they are married but functionally, their union is a crippled one. This couple will be at loggerheads until somehow they forge an agreement on what type of home they want and what are their respective duties in making that home come into existence." The NEF said the North was opened to dialogue, but they, because of its political and geographical advantages, would not be stampeded into taking decisions that would be inimical to its development. The Chairman of the NEF, Mr. Paul Unongo, stated this during an interview with Punch on Sunday. Unongo argued that the acerbic rhetoric and threat of secession in the South-East were only making matters worse as dissenting views in the North (on restructuring) were becoming more united. He stated, "The North is very open to dialogue. I am the chairman of the northern elders and nobody can say we will not encourage dialogue. We love Nigeria but we will not be stampeded into carrying out someone's agenda. "The uneducated North of pre-independence times was not the same North of today. Today, we have Ph.D holders in every discipline."  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
| PHOTOS: Man Kills Two Friends To Fund His Wedding Posted: 25 Sep 2017 02:22 AM PDT  Daniel Patrick Wozniak, 32, will be put on death for the slaying of Afghanistan war veteran Samuel Herr and Julie Kibuishi in Southern California in 2010. Orange County Superior Court Judge John Conley followed the recommendation of a jury he should be executed following the grisly deaths and his attempted cover-up. Jurors had convicted Wozniak of the murders in December. A month later, a jury told prosecutors he should face capital punishment. "At the cost of two human lives, the defendant chose not to get married inexpensively or to defer his honeymoon," Conley said. "He wanted to do it in style, and he was willing to kill two people he knew to accomplish this." Wozniak was debt-ridden in 2010 when he shot a neighbor, Herr of Costa Mesa, to steal $50,000 the Army veteran had saved from service in Afghanistan, prosecutors said. Wozniak then used a ruse to kill Herr's friend, Julie Kibuishi, and tried to make it appear Herr had raped and killed her, then fled, prosecutors said. He also dumped Herr's dismembered body in a park. According to Daily Mail, the scheme unraveled, and Wozniak was arrested days later. Conley revisited many of the case's grisly details before the sentencing. "Suffice it to say that even his defense attorney was constrained to calling it horrible, terrible and horrific," the judge said Friday. The likelihood Wozniak will be executed anytime soon is slim because of challenges over the California's death penalty. No one has been put to death since 2006, and there are nearly 750 inmates on death row at San Quentin, where he is now headed. As some of his son's fellow veterans of Afghanistan stood at his side, Herr's father, Steve Herr, said in court Friday that it's unfortunate the execution won't come quickly. "You Dan are a coward and a poster boy for the need for an effective death penalty in California," Herr said.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
| Kim Kardashian reveals the moment she met and fell inlove with Kanye West | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 25 Sep 2017 02:21 AM PDT  The 36-year-old reality star said she fell 'madly in love' with the rapper as soon as she landed and wondered why they had not started dating sooner. She shared the romantic backstory during a Keeping Up With The Kardashians: 10th Anniversary Special hosted by the show's executive producer Ryan Seacrest, 42.  'I met him in 2002 or 2003. He was recording a song with Brandy and I was her friend and vividly remember hanging out with him. Then they did a video together so I'd see him a few times. Right before I got married to Kris Humphries we were talking and I just went a different direction. I think I had to go through that to figure out what I wanted.'  She said: 'I don't really know. I can't remember. Probably all of the above. After my break up I was feeling really low and down and he was like ''just come to Paris and see my fashion show''. He jokes that he put on this whole fashion show just to get a date with me.  'I went and I stayed with him and that's where we started dating. I swear from the moment I landed and was there, I fell madly in love with him and I thought ''Oh my god, why didn't I do this sooner? This is like what real life is like and love and fun and real support. This is what it is''.'The entire Kardashian clan – minus Rob – sat down with Seacrest for a 90-minute special programme to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their E! reality show.

| 6 Frauds That Impact Your Physical & Spiritual Health Posted: 25 Sep 2017 01:52 AM PDT  What's responsible for this failure? We know what to do, and often know how to do it, but can't seem to stay the course. Instead of continuing to "try" harder or search for a magic formula, why not ask God to show us the root of the problem? Why failure is your friend Instead of looking at failure to achieve wellness goals as a dead-end, think of it as a sign that something is blocking your success. Most people are so focused on their fitness goals — weight loss or waist-size — they miss the true benefit of pursuing wellness: whole-person growth. When you hit the wall, it's an opportunity to learn something about yourself, face the facts, heal, and grow. That's how failure can be your friend. So let's look at the two main causes of un-wellness: fraud foods and attitudes. Of course, part of the reason diets and resolutions fall short is because we're eating fraud foods. Processed food and junk snacks are not real food — they're impostors. The real question is, Why aren't you choosing to eat real foods? FRAUDS There are six possible reasons you've failed to improve your health — and sabotaged your goals with bad choices. And they're all FRAUDS. FRAUDS is an acronym for: F = Fear R = Resentment A = Anger U = Unforgiveness D = Disappointment S = Shame Let's take a look at each of the six aspects of FRAUDS. Fear Fear keeps you out of trouble. Before you pull out from a traffic light, you look left and right, based on a healthy fear of harm. But fear can keep you in trouble. When I, (Mark) was growing up I struggled with approval. I still do, to some extent. The fear of rejection stems back to childhood — being an only child, adopted, and not one of the cool guys in school. If you know there is something new you need to do, you know there will be fear. You have to do it afraid. Growth happens when you step outside of your comfort zone. Resentment Have you ever had the experience of seeing someone you know and wanting to walk the other way? That's resentment. I, (Michele) look back on the hurts I experienced in my younger years — wounds of abandonment, abusive relationships, personal injury, and homelessness. Little did I realize resentment is like an infection that won't heal. Eventually the wound of resentment turns into anger. Anger Anger will drive our blood pressure up, which can drive up our cortisol. Cortisol drives blood sugar, and when blood sugar goes up it drives insulin. When insulin is up in a chronic way you'll begin to store fat. See how emotion can easily impact our health? In the early spring of last year, a young man came to see us for help with his weight. He had tried every diet, weight loss strategy, and even tried a few types of diet pills. He turned to us as his last hope. In order to get to the root, we like to ask a lot of questions. After all, we want success. We asked, "How long have you struggled with weight?" "Since childhood." "Did your parents show any favoritism towards you or your sibling?" "Yes, my brother was their favorite." "Did your brother struggle with weight?" "No," he snapped. We could see emotions rising up. So we asked, "How did they handle that with you?" "Well, my parents used to tell me to lose weight — and be more like my brother." We could feel the burden he carried, even though his parents had long since passed. He went on to marry a woman who seemed to be able to eat anything she wanted and not gain weight.When she told him he needed to lose weight, all the fear, resentment, and anger came rushing back like a bad dream. This was the root of his food addiction. Sometimes we have to go back to our childhood years to find the root of anger. Unforgiveness God doesn't expect you to be perfect. We sure aren't. But what we expect, and what you should expect, is perfect effort. This means when you fall down, there are three choices. Number one, you can lay there and let resentment turn to anger. Number two, you can cry. And stay in the sadness and wallow in the pain. But there's a third option. You can dust yourself off and say, "Well, I fell. It happens sometimes when you move. So I choose to forgive myself and get up." Why not begin with you? Are you willing to forgive yourself? (God is always willing) Disappointment The long-term effects of fear, resentment, anger, and unforgiveness create an outlook of continual disappointment and despair. We prescribe a unique tool to every one of our patients: healing words. We recommend replacements for statements like, "I'm a victim of my father's alcoholism," "I'm fat and ugly," or, "I'll never lose weight." Instead, create and speak positive statements about you and your future, along with scriptures that build faith. Pay attention to your words, and prescribe healthful words instead. If you don't take disappointment seriously, and treat it like a deadly disease, you may fall victim to the final of the FRAUDS. Shame We are often ashamed of our actions, and even ashamed of life's twists and turns. Instead of seeing ourselves as a person who's overcoming, we see a person who's been overcome. People who hide shame often over-talk, and make fun of themselves. They're always hiding — which is easy to do on social media. The problem is, social media is a breeding ground for comparison and shame. All together, FRAUDS lie — about who you truly are. Freedom from FRAUDS I, (Michele) had to walk through the stages of FRAUDS myself to evaluate why I did what I did, and where my emotional drive came from. Growing up, all the neighbors had really nice houses. Except us. My family was very poor and unhealthy. Our yard was unkept and my parents were obese. I was ashamed of who I was. At some point in life you have to look back and ask, "Where are all these toxic emotions coming from?" and face those emotions. All the exercise and good food in the world may not make you healthy if you're emotionally sick or poisoning yourself with FRAUDS. It's not only what we eat, but what's eating you. My new normal It's "normal" to have fear, resentment, anger, unforgiveness, disappointment, and shame. But this doesn't have to be your normal. You were designed to be well — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. That's who you really are. You're not a fat person, or a weak person, or a failure. The real you is seeking health. Let's stop standing in its way and embrace the life God gave us. [written by Dr. Michele Sherwood & Dr. Mark Sherwood]  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
| Junior Wife Drowns Her Co-Wife's Two Children In Well In Posted: 25 Sep 2017 01:22 AM PDT  The two little girls - 4yrs old Zainab and 2yrs old Ramatu - were bound, hands and feet, and allegedly thrown into a well by Aisha and they drowned. The heart.ess act was committed in Yelwabassa village in Kokona LGA of Nasarawa State. According to the Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Kura, the suspect, who is now in the custody of the State Criminal Investigation Department, claimed in a confessional statement to detectives handling the case that she committed the alleged homicidal act because the mother of the two little girls forbade them from running errands for her. According to The Sun, trouble began six years ago when she got married to Alhaji Isa. It was not long before the new wife began to quarrel with the mother of the two girls. In April 2017, Aisha killed the first victim, two-year-old Ramatu, whose hands and legs she tied and threw into the well, where the little child died. The family simply buried her corpse and nobody found out how it happened. But nemesis caught up with her when she did the same thing to four-year-old Zainab in August. At the headquarters of the State CID where she is in custody, pending arraignment in court, Aisha, who lost her own six-month-old baby gave a chilling account of what happened. Her words: "It was the devil that used me. I took Ramatu, tied her two hands and legs and threw her into the well. In August 2017, I also took Zainab, tied her hands and legs and threw her into the well. "After sometime I raised alarm, I shouted and attracted the attention of neighbours. My husband and the first wife rushed out. They asked what happened and I confessed immediately to them what I did. "I have been having misunderstanding with my co-wife. She caused the problem. "Whenever I sent the children on errand, she would tell them in my presence not to run errands for me. So, each time I called them, they ignored me. I decided to teach her children a lesson." Continuing, she said: "I got married six years ago. I gave birth to a baby six-months ago, but the baby died. Since then I had no baby and I have been telling Allah to give another baby." After she confessed to her husband, he quickly went with a neighbor to report the crime at the Garaku Police Station. With the enormity of what she did having hit home, a sense of remorse has overwhelmed Aisha and she pleaded: "I want the family to forgive me for what I did; I have regretted my mistake and want my husband to forgive me." The Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State CID, Mr. Mohammed Akeera said that the suspect would be charged to court soon for the alleged murder.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
| Do Your Social Media Posts "Bear False Witness?" Posted: 25 Sep 2017 01:22 AM PDT  Many of the people posting would even consider themselves Christians, and often many of them proclaim so proudly in their profiles. Yet here we see messages broadcast loudly online that seem to go against the very nature of Christ himself… We see the likes and retweets stack up, and we feel justified that our words were worth saying… but what if they weren't? "What we post on social media can take on a life of its own," Gaye Clark writes for The Gospel Coalition. "The matter feels urgent, so we hastily type rebuttals. Veiled as zeal for truth, we run to our computers and phones to adjust error and admonish the man who got it all wrong. ...But was it true? Did it honor the Lord?" This is the crucial question in today's culture. Just because we have these platforms and this access to audiences who will affirm us doesn't mean we should use them as tools to shame others, yet we so often stumble into doing so. When folks on Twitter were outraged about Joel Osteen supposedly not opening his church as a place of refuge during the hurricane in Houston, many didn't even know the full, true story. The shaming spread like wildfire even though the facts had not been known or considered. Clark addresses in her article that we often post things online that we assume to be true but instead turn out to be false. We do so thinking we are rebuking them, wanting them to do better or do more or follow Scripture more carefully, but, like Clark writes, "this goal often seems lost when we log on to our computer. On social media, public rebuke can seek to shake or discredit." What ends up happening is less of a healthy rebuke and more of a harmful attack. "Technology makes it easy to lose sight of the image-bearer we're addressing," Clark writes. It would be wise for us all to keep this at the forefront of our minds as we craft posts to share with our followers: every human being on this earth bears the image of God. When we speak ill of them, we are, in essence, attempting to tarnish that image. What we rarely realize is we often tarnish our own in the process. So, what's the best course of action here? What do we do when we feel strongly about the way someone is handling a situation (or not handling it) or we feel compelled to comment and share our opinions of a person or a scenario? "When possible," Clark writes, "we ought to confront one another in person. It helps to look them in the eye when we speak of their heart."It's far too easy to hide behind computer screens and keyboards, typing out things we would never dare to say with our words to someone's face. Keeping in mind that they are an image bearer of God and a human being with a beating, feeling heart just like our own will help us as we discern what is best to say or not to say. But what about the people who we don't have direct access to? What about the megachurch pastors and the politicians and the spiritual leaders who we so badly want to rebuke and respond to? We can't sit down for coffee with those people, and we can't quite confront them in person… so then what are we to do? Maybe the best advice there is to stay silent. "The next time a post or tweet tempts you to reply with a snarky comeback, or take to your own platform to write a powerful rebuttal because the truth is too important to wait, consider our brother James's words: 'Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God' (James 1:19-20)," writes Clark.The advice, although challenging, is wise. May we choose to use our words wisely and follow the old "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" rule more. May we be more discerning of what is edifying and encouraging to say, and what might instead be hurtful, harmful, harsh, or even hateful. May we choose to rebuke in ways that are intentional with the ones with whom we have close and personal relationships, and may we extend more grace to everyone we come in contact with, online and off. Today, try tweeting a little less and loving a little more. Let's be Christians who give God glory with our words and give others grace through them, too.

| Mother who wants to Marry Her Son's Friend sent to Prison Posted: 25 Sep 2017 12:23 AM PDT  Hussaina Abba, who teaches Arabic at a primary school in Gombe, earlier sued her late husband's siblings and her children before a court for opposing her planned marriage. She told the area court at Idi Quarters that her late husband's younger siblings - Aliyu Mohammed and Abdullahi Bello - were opposed to her planned marriage simply because the groom is a friend and classmate of her first son. Hussaina told the court that the duo refused to take custody of six out of the 11 children left behind by their late elder brother to allow her to marry the man. She said since the death of her husband years ago, she did not receive any marriage proposal until the arrival of the man, who she later learned was a friend to her first son. She said she agreed to the young man's marriage proposal because of the love and genuine care he had shown to her. However, the men told the court that the court that she refused their earlier offer to take custody of the children, but only changed her position now that she wants to re-marry a man that is an age mate and friend of her son. They also said they objected to the marriage because the man is of questionable character. Also, her eldest son, Mohammed Bello Adamu, who represented his siblings at the court, opposed the planned marriage between his mother and his friend. He said there was a time the same man threatened to kill the younger sister of his mother's friend for refusing to sleep with him. He added that the man must have cast a spell on his mother, hence her strange behaviour and being adamant to marry him despite opposition from various quarters. On her part, the teacher, Hussaina said she had already collected N15,000 as part payment of the dowry from the suitor, Abdussalam Abdulkadir. "Since this marriage is not against any law, I love him and want to marry him because he is the only man that proposed to marry me since the death of my husband years ago. Therefore I will not shelve my planned marriage because of objection from my children or anyone else," she told the court. When asked by the court if the allegations against him were true, Abdussalam said yes. He however said that he still loves the mother of his onetime classmate and is ready to marry her. Interestingly, the presiding judge, Malam Saleh Jibrin, ordered that both Hussaina and Abdussalam be remanded in prison custody in order to dispel the alleged charm. Lol! He adjourned the matter to September 26 for continuation of hearing.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
