Two neighbours, Nasiru Musa, 35, and Ibrahim Abubakar, 27, have been remanded in prison custody for allegedly raping and impregnating a 26-year-old woman suffering mental illness in Katsina.

National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has blamed the Nigerian media for the alleged rift between himself and Gov. Godwin Obaseki, describing his successor as his brother.
Oshiomhole spoke when he received Obaseki, who led members of his cabinet to celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir festival with his former boss, at his Iyamoh residence in Estako West Local Government Government Area of Edo.
Speaking to journalists after a closed-door meeting which lasted for about an hour, Oshiomhole said the meeting was not unusual as he was in constant touch with Obaseki.
According to Oshiomhole, “from time to time, we have always been meeting. It is not an unusual visit, the meeting afforded me the opportunity to meet with my brother and with people I have worked with.”

On his part, Obaseki noted that the visit to his predecessor was not unusual, saying that he decided to celebrate Sallah with his former boss.
Hong Kong airport reopened on Wednesday after fierce clashes overnight, but the turmoil may be far from over following reports that aviation authorities have obtained a court order to remove protesters from the terminal, setting up a possible showdown with demonstrators later in the day.
After the late-night scuffle that left several people injured, most of the protesters and police eventually cleared the terminal, and as of early Wednesday, the operation at the airport was back to normal, according to Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdelhamid, who was reporting from the airport.
"We've seen some of the employees come back to their counters, and some of the stranded passengers trying to figure out when they will be able to catch their flights," she said. "It's not clear whether the protesters will come back tomorrow."
Few protesters remained at the airport early on Wednesday. As this developed, Hong Kong's Airport Authority confirmed on on Wednesday it had obtained an interim injunction to restrain people from "unlawfully and wilfully obstructing" operations.
"Persons are also restrained from attending or participating in any demonstration or protest or public order event in the airport other than in the area designated by the airport authority," it said.
It was unclear when the order will be implemented by the police.
The two days of demonstrations on Monday and Tuesday have caused mass flight cancellations and triggered clashes between demonstrators and police.
A mobile policeman Sunday U. Japhet in the Yobe Police Command, who has been pouring invectives on Nigeria’s leaders and politicians, including his boss in the police force, has been transferred to Bauchi.
Japhet in his post on Facebook also revealed a planned protest by mobile policemen in the north east over unpaid allowances.
The State Commissioner of Police, Sunmonu Adeyemi Abdulmaliki confirmed to Daily Post today the arrest of the officer and his transfer.
In a Facebook post on 9 August, Japhet said the country is being led by “evil men” and mocked the public posturing of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Japhet’s vituperation against the leaders was triggered by the unpaid allowances to mobile policemen on insurgency duties and hoped that a demonstration by the policemen would ” be the beginning of something in this great country led by evil men”.
Read Japhet’s full Facebook post:
“This is Nigeria, with a president who want to fight corruption and tackle insecurities, with the vice who claimed to be a man of God without truth, with many elected senators, with IGP that we think things will change, its a pity for them, those that lead this country, I pray that this demonstration that is going to happen on 14 /8 in Maiduguri, Yobe, Adamawa and other places that mobile police on special duty are going to hold for their allowances be the beginning of something in this great country led by evil men, we are inviting all the media to be there for us, this people call their self leaders are all aware that this money use to be in some people joint account to get interest,then after 3-4 month they pay, no one will say he don’t know what is happening that this money is not paid, God will come down himself to help Nigerian if really this is buhari handling this country this way,i better die for truth then to be, seeing nonsense”.

There was panic in Agbala in the Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State on Tuesday after a Fulani herdsman stabbed another following a quarrel.
The attacker was also stabbed by other herders, who were alerted to the incident by a witness.
The two herders, who were rushed to the emergency unit of the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, owing to the severity of the injuries they sustained, were rescued by the villagers.
A community source told Punch correspondent that the incident, which occurred on Monday night, would have degenerated if not that another herder witnessed the drama.
The source said, “This issue would have degenerated if not that another Fulani herdsman witnessed it.
“What happened was that a Fulani herdsman had gone into the bush, where his kinsman and his cows were staying. While the man in the bush was sleeping, his kinsman stabbed him mercilessly and left with the victim’s cows thinking that he was dead.
“However, another Fulani herdsman, who was in the bush, quickly alerted the other herdsmen. They monitored his movement until reinforcement arrived. The other herders first recovered the stolen cows before stabbing him repeatedly.
“It was the villagers, who alerted the police. The man was rescued and the two victims were rushed to the emergency unit of the FMC, Owerri.”
The source said it would be a miracle if the two survive as their conditions were said to be critical.

The partial curfew, which takes effect from Wednesday, would last between 12 midnight and 5am.
According to the release, the decision was taken at a meeting of the university’s Security Committee which reviewed the current security situation at the institution.
Olayinka stated that all students and members of staff must have means of identification when asked by security operatives.
According to the Vice-Chancellor, all-male visitors to the three female hostels–Awolowo Hall, Queen Idia Hall and Queen Elizabeth II Hall –are to be received outside the halls while female guests will be screened.

Dr Dauda Adekunle an Abuja based Obstetrician, has advised women who intend to go for breast implants that breast augmentation would not prevent their breast from sagging.
Adekunle gave the advice in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja.
According to him, women who believe breast augmentation will correct sagging breast should have a rethink, because they will also need a breast lift in addition to the breast augmentation.
“You might need additional surgery after breast implant removal. If you decide to have your implants removed, you might need a breast lift or other corrective surgery to help restore your breasts’ appearance,” he said.
He said that breast implants were not guaranteed to last a lifetime, stating that the average life span of an implant was 10 years.
“Implant rupture is a possibility, also, your breasts will continue to age, and factors such as weight gain or weight loss might change the way your breasts look,” he said.
The obstetrician also stressed that these issues would likely lead to more surgeries.
“You might need an MRI scan, which is a recommended routine monitoring with MRI after three years.
“However, recent studies show that there’s little data to support routine screening unless you have symptoms,” he disclosed.
He noted that mammograms might be more complicated, noting that women with breast implants, in addition to routine mammograms, would require additional specialised view.
Adekunle said that breast implants might hamper breast-feeding; which he said some women were able to successfully breast-feed their babies after breast augmentation, but for others breast-feeding was a challenge.
Speaking of the risk factors, he said breast augmentation posed various risks, including: scar tissue that distorts the shape of the breast implant “capsular contracture”, breast pain, infection, changes in nipple, breast sensation and implant leakage or rupture.
He noted that correcting these complications might require more surgery, either to remove or replace the implants.
