Wow! Ninety Year Old Virgin Honoured By Community...

The woman, who devoted her life to nursing children right from a young age at Ikot Udobia community, Etinan Local government area, Akwa Ibom State, was honoured at Saint Pius Catholic Church, Ikot Udobia, by the people for her devotion to humanity.

Speaking on her life time, she said: “I have never known anything like man in my entire life, not to talk of a husband. I have never been married, no relationship with any man, no boyfriend even when I was young. I have never slept with any man as far as my memory can carry me, not even in my dream state.

“I was born partially blind, no man saw anything good in me, so I grew up without the feeling of a man. When I was much younger, reverend sisters staying at the Convent School at Ikot Udo Ntuen made me to embrace Christianity.

“Every Sunday, they came to our house to pick me and brought me back in the evening. Those were the kind of friends that I had. No immoral discussion, it was all about Holy Mary and the child of God, Jesus”.

Miss Akpan, in a chat with Niger Delta Voice, also stated she has no regrets in life.

“In the first place, I do not know what to regret about, my belief is that I was created by God to live and die without a husband, child and anything I can call my own. I see things in and around me as normal. I never hated men neither did the men hate me, but we never met.

“I lived my life the way you see me. No feeling for a man. I do not see it as either normal or abnormal. Maybe I will get better answers from God when I eventually transit to meet my Creator. But I know I was created by God not to get a man in my life in the name of husband or children. I do not know the meaning of men frustration and broken home. I do not have any of painful past.”

On her interest in raising children, she asserted: “I enjoy taking care of little children between the age four to 10 years. Mothers who have children will drop them with me when they are going to farm, market or to fetch water. I will take care of them until they return to take their children. I feed them and keep them happy as long as they stay with me.

“I do not have a farm nor do any business, but their parents drop the children with the food that will carry them until they come back from wherever they have gone to. The only things I do apart from taking care of children is cracking palm kneels for my late parents and keeping the compound clean.

“Look at the crowd that is here to celebrate me in the church, they are all the children I have touched their lives when they were babies. Some of them are outside the village and could not come for one reason or the other, but they contributed in making my today memorable.

“I really feel fulfilled as I see the children that I took care as big people, some own cars, houses and are doing well in their various engagements. I see all of them as my children. I always feel happy whenever I see children.”

Two notorious kidnappers arrested in Kogi State

Men of the Nigeria Police have arrested two want­ed notorious kidnappers in Kogi State.

The police had launched a manhunt on the duo of 24-year-old Suleiman Isah and Musa Mohammed, 31, both natives of Ankpa LGA of Kogi State after they allegedly abducted one Alh­aji Jibrin Idris, an Islamic scholar and the chief Imam at Enabo in Ankpa district.

The gunmen later released the cleric after collecting undisclosed amount of money as ransom.

Subsequently, IGP Ibrahim Id­ris ordered a manhunt on the kid­nappers by operatives of the Intel­ligence Response Team, IRT, led by courageous ACP Abba Kyari.

The kidnappers, upon collect­ing the ransom escaped to Enugu State on sensing that IRT was trailing them.

However, after months of re­lentless efforts, the duo met their waterloo at Ayinba Town Kogi State and 9th Mile, Enugu State respectively. In a statement by the team leader, Kyari said the suspects identified the remaining two other gang members at large as Bashir and Mangal.

“The phone used for the ran­som negotiation by the kidnap­pers equally recovered, while ef­forts to arrest the remaining gang members at large are in progress,” the police officer said.

CACOL Backs Presidency On Resolve To Arraign Reinstated Judges

The Centre for Anti-corruption and Open Leadership, CACOL, has backed the decision of the Presidency to arraign suspected corrupt Judges who were recently recalled to return to duty by the National Judicial Council, NJC describing the Council’s step as ‘immoral and retrogressive’.

The Judges had been suspended following the raid on their residences in a sting operation by the Department Of State Security, DSS, in October last year. The six suspended judges who were under investigation for alleged corruption reinstated by NJC reinstated are Justices John Okoro, Uwani Abba Aji, Hydiazira Nganjiwa, Adeniyi Ademola, Justice Musa Kurya and Agbadu Fishim.

Mr. Debo Adeniran, the Executive Chairman of CACOL, said “shamelessness is being brazenly taken to unbelievable heights right before our eyes, and if we remain silent, then the credibility and integrity of the Nigerian Judiciary will remain a body of ridicule within the comity of nations. The fact that the Judges are under investigations alone should be enough for the NJC to wait before it took the decision to reinstate the Judges. Sadly, this move portend that our Judiciary pampers corruption”

“How many litigants will feel comfortable to be judged by a Judge with grievous charges of corruption such as the ones against the suspended Judges? We doubt, if there would be any, unless those who are equally corrupt and require the services of a corrupt Judge to escape justice. Any court where such Judges sit could as well be considered to a market place where judgments could be gotten on basis of the highest bidder and the ‘hardness’ of the currencies. And we should not be taken aback if this counter-productive step by the NJC is allowed to stand when we begin to see suspected corruption criminals seeking to be tried by these ‘permanently stained’ judges.”

“The NJC’s has only reinforced the position that our Judiciary is equally drenched in corruption just like the other arms of the government. And this is a tragedy because the Judiciary is supposed to be the last bastion of hope for the mass of the people. The ‘group practice’ or ‘solidarity’ being espoused by the Bar and Bench makes the case of the Judiciary more dangerous and scary, because it is easy discernible that the NJC’s and even the NBA’s position is more like the Judiciary as a body, is trying shield one of its own from justice ostensibly because they are all involved in the game.

The position of the NBA and the NJC that a period of eight months is too long for Judges to be under investigation is utterly untenable because a crime can always be investigated and prosecuted at anytime. That culpability is not established does not stop a case from being re-opened for further investigations and possible re-prosecution if fresh facts or evidences are unveiled.”

Concluding, the anti-corruption Crusader said, “Judiciary is the last hope of the common people; in a situation where the Judiciary can longer serve the purpose of its creation, it becomes useless, and self-help is becomes the only hope which is a recipe for anarchy. We therefore back the Presidency on the move to arraign the suspended Judges while calling on the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC to expedite actions on its investigations so that the suspected corrupt men of Bench are prosecuted and brought to book if found culpable.”

24-year-old Benpoly student stoned to death in Ugbokolo

Emmanuel Akola, a 24-year-old National Diploma 11 students of Benue State Polytechnic has been allegedly stoned to death by a vigilante group in Ugbokolo area of Benue State.

Akola, a native of Otukpa in Ogbadibo LGA of the state was accused of being a cultist and member of a notorious criminal terrorizing the community.

DAILY POST gathered that the deceased is believed to be a friend to the four suspected armed robbers recently killed in the area by the vigilante.

A source, who gave her name as Queen told our correspondent that Akola, famously known as 2green was in Otukpa with his grand mum when he was informed that his friends had been killed by the vigilante group.

The source said on getting to the school, the deceased searched for the corpses of his friends without any result.

“So he decided to sit by the school gate, believing that he might see one of them.

“Some vigilante group, probably acting on information approached him and wanted to know who he was waiting for. 2green told them he was waiting for his friends and they asked him to show them his house.

“On getting to his house, they discovered a charm inside his room and he claimed he was only using it for protection,” the source said.

In a movie-like scene, the deceased allegedly disappeared from their midst and the vigilante group also went after him and they all reappeared at the same spot.

The source added that the vigilante group opened fire on him but the bullets could not penetrate and they resorted to stone, which eventually killed him and they abandoned him in the pool of his blood.

Efforts to reach the Benue State Police PRO, Moses Yamu for comment could not yield any fruit at of time of this report as his mobile phone was switched off.

'I love my husband I did not kill him' - woman accused of killing her hubby in Ibadan tells court

The murder case of Mrs Yewande Oyediran, the woman who allegedly stabbed her husband, 38 year old Oyediran Ajanaku to death at their Akobo estate home in Ibadan, Oyo state on February 2nd 2016 after a domestic dispute  came up for hearing yesterday June 5th.

During her cross examination, Yewande denied killing her husband, claiming she loved him. Led in evidence by her lead Counsel, Leye Adepoju, Yewande narrated how her late husband met his untimely death on the day of the incident.

"We earlier had a scuffle in which my late husband beat me up and it was settled by our landlord and his wife and my husband had gone for treatment in a neighbourhood hospital, after I had inflicted some cuts on him, because he had pressed me on the bed and continually hit me. This was the aftermath of a phone call I received from a woman on that night who had earlier claimed that she had a child for my husband. My husband confirmed it and we have quarreled over it, but had settled the issue since she first called me on July 7, 2015. However, after some few hours, he became angry again and started hitting me with a plank. He was angry about the wounds and threatened to retaliate. I managed to escape and he still followed me outside with a knife and pressed me to our Landlord’s car. Later, I felt that I have been able to push him off me, only to later realise that it was actually our landlord that had helped me out of his grips. I rushed to our landlord’s flat and once inside, i turned to see what was going on behind me, only to see my husband coming after me. Suddenly, I saw him falling on his back as he tried to climb the steps to the apartment. I rushed back after him and tried to pull him up only to see blood gushing out of his neck. I quickly shouted for help and the landlord and his wife together with his son and a Doctor whose clinic was on our street, tried to apply first aid. My landlady told my Landlord to take my husband to the hospital, but he declined saying that there was blood on his car and so needed to wash it before he can take it out.

"My landlord and I went to our neighbour, Mrs Olubunmi Onipede, to help me take him to the hospital, but she refused too, saying that I earlier insulted her when she came to intervene in the earlier scuffle. Eventually, she agreed to take us to the hospital later I have promised to fuel her car the next day, because she had told us she didn’t have fuel in her car. While on our way to the University Teaching Hospital, UCH, as advised by the Doctor inside our compound, our neighbour, stopped at the hospital on our street claiming that we needed to collect a referral, but the Nurse on duty, said we didn’t need one and I also heard the voice of the Doctor in the back ground telling her we didn’t need one, but that we should rush to UCH. We proceeded towards the hospital only for her to take Akobo Road, when we got to General Gas Road, instead of the Iwo Road that is shorter, I asked why she was taking the route, but she replied that we must take him to the nearest hospital because it was an emergence case. At that time, I still kept calling my husband, ”lowo”, ”lowo” and he was nodding to me even though his eyes were closed".

Yewande emphatically denied killing her husband

"I did not kill my husband. I love my husband, even if we quarrel, it won’t be to the point of death”.

The presiding judge and Chief Judge of Oyo state, Justice Munta Abimbola, afterwards adjourned the case till July 10 for adoption of the written addresses of both the prosecutor and the defence counsel.
