'Why INEC must postpone November 30 Kogi West rerun poll'

The Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Kogi West senatorial election, Dino Melaye, has called for the postponement of the supplementary election scheduled for November 30.

Melaye made the call while addressing newsmen at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Abuja on Wednesday, where he had gone to submit another petition on the election.

He called on INEC to postpone the election until it is able to address what he described as “noticeable infractions” in the November 16 election and concerns over areas where the supplementary election would be held.

Melaye had, on November 20, submitted a petition, calling for total cancellation of the election, attaching 21 video CDs and other “documentary evidence” to prove that there was no election in the senatorial district.


He said he was at INEC office because he had yet to get a reply to his earlier petition, adding that there was also no public announcement that a panel had been set up to investigate the issues raised in the petition.

Melaye said he was also there to submit additional facts to those in his earlier petition, which, according to him, were unknown to the INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.

“What is new in what we have submitted today is that we have attached a copy of Form EC8B of Ward A in Lokoja Local Government Area, where INEC, during collation, had cancelled results of nine out of 23 polling units in the LGA.”

He added that results were cancelled in other polling units during collation, including Abugi, Ole and other places, but these were not captured among the areas where INEC said that supplementary poll would take place on November 30.

“What we are saying is: how can INEC cancel these polling units during collation process and they will not be captured in places where rerun will take place?

“We believe this is an aberration, and the INEC chairman cannot know about it and allow it to stay.”

Melaye said there were also lots of places where elections were supposed to have been cancelled by INEC, but which were not.

These, he said, included Lokogoma and Adanko in Lokoja, where, he said, three people were killed during the November 16 election.

“Unfortunately, results were returned in those places. We are saying that INEC must be neutral and cancel elections in areas where there was violence.”

Pastor allegedly steals church member’s 4-month old baby

A 52-year-old old female pastor, Charity Okpara, on Thursday appeared before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing a four-month-old baby girl from her church member.

Okpara, resident of No. 10, Abiodun Kayode St., Araromi Bus Stop, Ojo, in Lagos, was arraigned on four count bordering on conspiracy, unlawful abduction and child trafficking.

Ayorinde told the court that the defendant committed the offences with others still at large on November 5 at No. 5, Kayode St., Ajangbadi in Lagos.

The prosecutor submitted that the defendant “fraudulently took away the baby from her mother.”

Osunsanmi ordered that the sureties must be gainfully employed, with an evidence of two-year tax payment to the Lagos State Government and should reside within the court’s jurisdiction.

69 year-old lecturer who demanded s.e.x in order to give good marks jailed (photo)

Samson Mahimbo, a 69-year-old college lecturer from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, has been sentenced to three years in jail, with an alternative of Tsh5 million (Ksh220, 000) fine, after he pleaded guilty to demanding s.e.x from his student in order to award her good marks in a supplementary exam.

The ruling was delivered on Tuesday, November 26, at the Kisutu Resident Magistrate’s Court in Dar es Salaam.

Delivering the judgement, resident magistrate Huruma Shaidi said sex-for-grades arrangement leads to the churning out of unqualified professionals.


The Kisutu Resident Magistrate’s Court was told on October 9, that Samson Mahimbo was on January 11, 2017 caught n.a.k.e.d in a lodging facility preparing to engage in sexual intercourse with his student.

Mahimbo’s student was a Second-Year first semester learner at the National Institute of Transport (NIT) in Dar es Salaam.

The student had failed her main exam in transport administrations, and was scheduled to re-sit the paper on January 5, 2017, the court was told.

NIT lawyer, Faraja Salamba, told the Kisutu Court on October 9, that Mahimbo abused his powers by soliciting sex from one Victoria in exchange for good marks that he would award the student.

Salamba narrated that on January 11, 2017, the suspect called Victoria on phone and asked to meet her at an entertainment joint known as Shani Bar in Mwenge, North-West of Dar es Salaam.

“When they met, the learner was given the supplementary exam, which she sat for. Mahimbo had carried with him to the date a marking scheme. After ‘sitting the exam’, Mahimbo marked Victoria’s paper and gave her a score of 67 per cent. The two, thereafter, left Shani Bar for a lodging facility known as Camp David within the same area,” the college’s lawyer, Salamba, told the court as quoted by Global Publishers.

Salamba further claimed that the two, while at Camp David, binged on alcohol before booking a room, where Mahimbo was nabbed naked preparing to engage in sexual intercourse with the learner.

“The suspect had begun hugging and caressing the student before attempting to undress her, when they heard a knock on the door. Victoria opened the door and police officers, who had been tipped of the lecturer’s plan, arrested him. His clothes lay on the table at the time,” said Salamba.

The suspect was first arraigned on August 14, 2018.

During a subsequent arraignment in early 2019, Mahimbo denied that he attempted to solicit sexual favours in exchange for good marks, contrary to the anti-graft laws in Tanzania.

The prosecution said it had lined up six witnesses to prove their case against the suspect.

Mahimbo, on the other hand, told the court that he would rely on four witnesses to prove that he was innocent.

However, on November 11 during a subsequent arraignment, the suspect changed tune on his earlier plea, this time around, admitting he demanded sex from his student in exchange for good grades.

Couple kept son in 'tiny cat box' and 'tortured him to death with boiling water'

A couple who allegedly kept their five-year-old son locked in a tiny cat box have been accused of torturing and killing him with scalding water.

Ridzuan Mega Abdul Rahman and his wife Azlin Arujunah, both 27, deny claims they abused and murdered the youngster, who collapsed and died from scald injuries.

A week before his death, in October 2016, it is claimed they splashed 92.6C boiling water on him at least four times.

They also allegedly pinched him with a pair of pliers, hit him with a broom and kept him confined to a pet cage during months of abuse.


A court heard he suffered severe burns across 70 per cent of his body, among other injuries, and the couple allegedly delayed sending him to the hospital for six hours.

"This is a murder as horrific as it is tragic," said the prosecution team in their opening statement on the first day of the trial on November 12.

"Leaving aside the physical abuse he suffered, one cannot imagine the pain and torment the deceased must have endured in the months leading up to his death. He was tortured to his death, and had no one to turn to."

Ridzuan is also accused of using a heated spoon to burn the boy's palm to punish his "thieving hands" for opening tins of milk powder meant for his siblings.

The pair from Singapore today declined to give evidence during their trial.

Azlin told the court in English: "I do not wish to testify, Your Honour."

In police statements the couple admitted acts of abuse, reports The Straits Times.
Professor Loh Tsee Foong, from the hospital where the boy was treated, said: "The child passed away very quickly, and the nurses were very distressed.

"The hospital had to counsel and give some support to the nurses because they became very emotional, they couldn't believe that this could happen to a child."

He added that the boy - who cannot be named for legal reasons -  had second to third degree burns, acute kidney injuries, dehydration, a broken nose, cuts on his face and isolated speech delay.

My wife sleeps with my younger brother, man tells court

An Ibadan-based businessman, Mr Saheed, on Wednesday told a Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan that his wife, Kafayat, was caught at different times sleeping with his younger brother.

He said that the alleged romance with his brother had caused disharmony in his extended family.

Saheed made the allegation while responding to a divorce suit filed by his wife before the court presided over by Chief Ademola Odunade.

He said that he had doubts that the two children produced by his wife belonged to him.


“The real reason I consented to Kafayat’s request for dissolution of our marriage is that she is evil and has torn my extended family apart because of her waywardness.

“Anytime I went on my business trip, family members, especially my dad, usually catch Kafayat sleeping with my immediate younger brother; despite his warning, Kafayat kept luring my brother into unholy romance.

“My father has threatened to disown me if I don’t send her away.

“Despite the problem, I have never failed to be responsible to the two children except that I no longer live with Kafayat,” he told the court.

“Saheed added that his wife repeatedly cursed him, thereby causing him a setback.

“I have pleaded with Kafayat to give me the custody of the children, but she would not listen; she might mislead them,” Saheed said.

Earlier, Kafayat told the court that her husband was irresponsible.

“We stopped living together since 12 years ago, and Saheed does not make any provision for our children.

“In fact, the second child cannot recognise him either as a father or anything because she had never sighted him.

“Though he requested to take charge of the first child, I refused to give him because he would not send him to school.

“Even when the child was dying of sickness in the University Teaching Hospital, Ibadan, Saheed did nothing about it, though I told him,” Kafayat said.

She, however, did not respond to the allegation of sleeping with her brother-in-law.

In his ruling, Odunade directed the duo to bring their relatives and their two children in court.

He adjourned the case until December 17 for judgment, urging that they should maintain the peace.

Our landlord says he fathered my second baby, insists on naming him - Husband

An Ibadan-based truck driver, Azeez Hakeem, on Tuesday, told an Ile-Tuntun Customary Court in Ibadan that his wife, Mufuli, was fond of sleeping with their landlord.

Hakeem, who lives at Popo Yemoja area of Ibadan, stated this while reacting to his wife’s allegation of battery before the president of the court, Henry Agbaje.

He said that while Mufuli was pregnant with their second child, their landlord claimed the pregnancy as his.

“After the child was born, he came to my parents’ house, insisting on being the one to name the child.

“We resolved this issue, but she still didn’t desist from her promiscuous attitude.

“She’s usually not concerned about the children’s dinner, as she returns home very late, with the excuse of going to pray in the mosque.

“Even after she left the house, I still rented her another apartment and took care of the kids,” he said.

Hakeem told the court that his younger brother once called him on phone to inform him of his wife’s newfound lover.

“I confirmed this to be true when I went to her house, but I did nothing about it,” he said.

Earlier, the plaintiff had informed the court that her husband was in the habit of beating her, even in front of the children.

Mufuli claimed that the serial beating forced her to leave her matrimonial home.

“I refused to leave him against the advice of our family members and friends, choosing rather to endure the battery because I didn’t want to remarry.

“However, when the beating became unbearable, I left the house in 2016. I started dating another man last year, and when he found out, he came to beat him up,” she told the court.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the president of the court advised the couple to resolve their differences for the sake of their children.

He, however, adjourned the case till December 9 for feedback.

Melania Trump booed by high and middle school students at opioid summit, Baltimore

Melania Trump was booed when she spoke about the battle with opioid addiction at a Youth Summit in Baltimore Tuesday.

The first lady was loudly booed by the audience of mostly middle and high school students for about a minute when she walked on stage and again when she concluded her short remarks.

Students also talked loudly over her when she addressed them, resulting in the first lady to briefly interrupt her remarks with a 'hello.'


It is believed to be the first time Melania Trump has been booed at a solo event. She was met with protesters outside a Boston hospital event earlier this month, and was at the World Series match in Washington D.C. last month where her husband was loudly booed.

'Thank you for the warm introduction and for inviting me to join you today for such an important event centered on opioid awareness,' she began as the boos continued. 

President Donald Trump has been a critic of the majority-black city, calling it a 'rat and rodent infested mess' this summer.

Andy Ruiz Jr vows to beat Joshua for a second time

Andy Ruiz Jr has vowed to "make history again" in his world heavyweight title rematch with Anthony Joshua.

Ruiz Jr, 30, arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to begin preparations for the 'Clash On The Dunes' on 7 December.

"It feels good. You know I made history in New York and I'll make history again in Saudi Arabia," he said.

Joshua, 30, is seeking to regain the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles after his shock defeat by Ruiz in New York in June.


The bout is the first heavyweight world title fight to take place in the Middle East and will be staged in the 15,000-seat Diriyah Arena.

Work on the purpose-built stadium only began in October but it is now close to completion.

Joshua visited the arena, which promoter Eddie Hearn described as "utterly breathtaking", on Saturday.

In June, Mexican-American Ruiz floored Joshua four times en route to a seventh-round stoppage at Madison Square Garden, handing the Briton his first defeat as a professional.
