Zainab Habib Aliyu who was detained for more than four months by the Saudi Arabian government over alleged drug trafficking, has returned to Nigeria.
Zainab, who was accompanied by another Nigerian also accused of the same crime, Ibrahim Abubakar, landed at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA) yesterday.
Confirming the development, Alhaji Habibu Aliyu Kila, Zainab’s father, said: “I was told about their coming three hours after their plane took off from King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah. So, I was taken unaware but as I am speaking with you, I am together with my daughter.”

The two young Nigerians were conveyed to Nigeria by the Saudi Airline plane and they were handed over to their parents by the Saudi Arabian Consulate in Kano. It would be recalled that Zainab was arrested and detained for four months by the Saudi Arabian anti-drug trafficking agency over alleged drug trafficking, but she was later found to be innocent of the offence.

A source close to the Florida man who raised over $22 million on GoFundMe in the “We The People Will Build the Wall” campaign just revealed today in their opinion money may be diverted to pay for a ‘million dollar’ yacht and high-flying lifestyle.
This article draws on the use of an anonymous source whose identity is being protected because they stepped forward to expose what they believe is a wrong-doing or possibly criminal fraud by the Wall GoFundMe campaign that received over 300,000 individual donations.***
That source is a known activist that is pro-Trump and has gone on Fox News for his bipartisan cause. The source told The Stern Facts that they “ironically” know Brian Kolfage, who built that Wall Go Fund Me page.
According to the source, Brian Kolfage personally confided that was “broke” last year after his “Right Wing News” empire—which the source was told was fake, but he never read—collapsed and Facebook “deplatformed” him.
That anonymous source shared an Instagram post highlighting Kolfage’s recent purchase of a fine seagoing vessel which they believe is “close to a million dollars.”
After Kolfage commented to this story, the source said, “Whether he ordered it last year with the year before is irrelevant it’s still nearly a million dollar boat. Those new toys are very expensive as is flying private. Where did he get the money if his business was destroyed by Facebook? ”

Mel B's daughter Phoenix has claimed she feels to blame for her mum's abuse. The Spice Girl appeared on Lorraine on Monday where she discussed her recent diagnosis with post-traumatic stress disorder following the breakdown of her 10-year abusive marriage with Stephen Belfonte.
Speaking to Lorraine Kelly, the 43-year-old candidly opened up about her struggle.
However, she was surprised to be shown a touching clip from her daughter Phoenix, 20, in which she spoke about supporting her mother through it all.
Phoenix said: "It was pretty hard watching my mum got through that and being in that situation with everything that went down in my family. You know we grow up pretty fast."
She heartbreakingly added: "Every kid going through a traumatic experience would blame themselves because they feel somewhat responsible, because that’s your mum, that’s your family and you only get one.
"So when you’re trying to do everything in your power to help them, and you can’t, and you’re helpless you’re like, 'damn, this is partly my fault'.
"But it’s never the kid’s fault. It wasn’t easy but I had my family and I have stayed pretty strong. Having my mum as Scary Spice, Mel B, you can’t be a wimp."
Mel's appearance comes as Lorraine is launching a Shine A Light campaign, to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.
Gushing over her mother's strength in a VT that left Mel close to tears, Phoenix added: "My mum is such an independent woman, it shocks me.
"She can just be amazing on TV but be so nervous and you wouldn’t even think she was nervous.
"She is just a natural. She is a good mum and a good friend. I love you and you are doing great."
