30-Year Old Man Impregnates 18-Year-Old Lunatic

He is also a lunatic. Operatives of Jigawa State Command of Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, have arrested 30-year-old Bello Muhammed for allegedly impregnating mentally-ill Daharatu Isyaku, aged 18, according to Vanguard Newspaper.

Parading the suspect to newsmen in Dutse, yesterday, state Commandant of the Corps, Dr. Muhammad Gidado, said the suspect admitted committing the crime.

He said the agency was still investigating the matter to ascertain if the offence was committed for ritual purposes.

He also disclosed that the suspect had named some accomplices during the investigation, stressing that they would be fished out, investigated and arraigned for prosecution.

Muhammed, however, disclosed that the girl was currently in the custody of the agency because of her condition.

Muhammed, who disclosed that the agency was also trying to contact her family, enjoined parents and guardians to take their mentally-imbalanced children to psychiatric hospitals for medical attention to avoid abuse.

I Will Demolish Lekki Toll Gates If Elected- Jimi Agbaje Tells Lekki Residents

The Peoples Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has promised to pull down the Lekki/Epe toll gates, if elected as the State Governor in the forthcoming governorship election. Jimi made the promise at a peaceful protest, tagged March for freedom, organised by Freedom Group in Lekki. According to him, the toll gates will all be pulled down soon as he gets into office. Hear him;

“I am here to show solidarity with you on the issue of the toll plaza for which you are marching today and assure you that when we get into office, these toll gates will come down; I will demolish all of them.

“The public/private partnership, PPP, arrangement behind this project is not transparent. Look at the BRT and Lagos light rail projects, they are collapsing because the PPP arrangements they have on ground are not sustainable.

“The light rail which was supposed to have been ready since 2012, is grounded and this is because of vested interests of a few people. The PPP arrangements are skewed to favour only a few people, so for me, I am in solidarity with you and a vote for us is a vote for freedom, a vote to bring down the toll plazas.”

Obanikoro Sues Sahara Reporters, Premium Times, Punch

Ministerial nominee, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, has gone to court to seek redress over a case of defamation of character by online newspapers, Sahara Reporters and Premium Times.  Continue below to read the full report from Tribune, plus you can’t guess the top New York firm that will be battling it with Sahara Reporters in New York.

Joined in the suit are Punch Newspapers Ltd., Omoyele Sowore, Publisher of Sahara Reporters and Festus Owete, General Editor at Premium Times.

The defendants had published an audio recording of Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, purportedly in a conversation with other individuals to rig the Ekiti State gubernatorial election, an allegation Senator Obanikoro and the others had since disclaimed.

In a suit filed at the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, Senator Obanikoro is suing the defendants for damages to the tune of N1 billion.

According to the suit filed on his behalf by Dr Yemi Oke of MJS Partners, Senator Obanikoro is seeking “an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants from publishing or causing to be published, either directly or indirectly, defamatory, damaging, offensive or degrading statements, articles and/or materials against the claimant.

“An order directing the defendant to jointly or severally pay to the claimant the sum of N1 billion, being damages for harm caused to his political, professional, business, social and institutional reputation, as a result of the defamation, by willful and scandalous publication of false statements by the defendants.

“An order directing the defendants to retract the false and damaging publication by a letter of apology directed to the claimant and published on the same media through which the defamatory publication was circulated and

“

An order of court for the cost of this suit against the defendants.”

In a similar development, Senator Obanikoro has hired Tacopina & Seigel, one of New York’s top law firms reputed for their groundbreaking defence of celebrity baseball player, Alex Rodriguez, in his case against the 211-game doping suspension slammed on him by Major League Baseball (MLB).

Tacopina & Seigel is handling Senator Obanikoro’s case against Sahara Reporters in New York, United States.

The defendants have 42 days to prepare their defence and make an appearance in court to defend themselves in the Lagos suit.
