Woman arraigned for killing albino son

From Simeon Nwakaudu, Makurdi


A 35-year-old mother, Mrs Doosur Hembaor who murdered her albino child in Angyo village of Buruku Local Council of Benue State has been arraigned before a Makurdi Magistrate Court for homicide.

Mrs Hembaor's action threw the entire community into shock and grief after it was discovered that she beheaded the child and buried him in the bush when her husband travelled and other villagers had gone to farm.
She claimed that she killed him because he was a wizard who has been tormenting her since he was born.
Her husband, Mr. T. Hembaor discovered the truth upon returning from his trip. He had asked after his son, but was told stories that ignited his suspicion. After interrogating his wife alongside community leaders, she showed them where she buried him.
When the case came up before the Chief Magistrate Court 2, Makurdi at the weekend, the prosecuting Inspector, Alexander Akunle said the action of the woman is a case of culpable homicide punishable by death under section 221 of the penal code.

The presiding Magistratre, Bakare Cecilia who could not take plea for want of the jurisdiction ordered the suspect to be remanded in prison custody and adjourned the case till April 19, 2011.       

Thousands of Muslims in Zaria in northern Nigeria have ended Unity Week concurrent with the birthday of the Holy Prophet, Mohammad with a call for a change of attitude among all Muslims across the world.
Unity Week was first initiated by the late Imam Khomeini, Iran's Islamic Republic Founder, with the aim of brining more unity between Shias and Sunnis across the world.
Unity Week in Nigeria has brought together Muslims from all different groups including the Tijaniyya and Qadiriya sects, scholars and human rights advocates. Muslims stood in unity calling for an Islamic republic in Nigeria that will rule in line with Khomeinei's teachings. Peaceful marchers chanted slogans of praise, solidarity and support for the Muslim uprisings in Africa and the Middle East, and demanded an end to the un-Islamic rule in Nigeria.
In his speech after the procession, one of Nigerian Islamic Leader, Sheikh El-Zakzaky said, the unity week as slated by the late Imam Khomeini is indeed a unifying factor among Muslims, and urged Muslims to stand together to chart a right Islamic course for Muslims across the world.
The Sheikh went on to criticize the recent situation in the Middle East, were he says mass movements of people are ousting sit-tight dictators but only end up handing power over to the military apologists of their country. He says he believes military apologists lack the necessary leadership that will benefit their people.
The unity week activities seem to be reminding Muslims irrespective of their difference, the true essence of the message of the Prophet Mohammad, his household, and the need for Islamic revival in their lives.

Please my fellow Nigerians, is it right for Nigerian police to set bail for anybody under their custody. Do our constitution support it. i am asking because a friend of mine have a case with the police (for public disturbance) and the police are setting bail for him up to 25 thousand naira without even taking him to court.

MAKURDI-Crisis broke out in Makurdi, yesterday afternoon, when angry youths laid siege on the busy Makurdi-Otukpo Federal highway after a trigger- happy police Sergeant, (names withheld) with the Benue State Police Command gunned down a middle-aged man, Aondowase Angu, at Kanshio area of Makurdi.
The incident created pandemonium in the state capital leaving residents, especially parents whose wards attend the elitists Tiny Tots Nursery and Primary School located in the area, scampering with their kids for safety while vehicular movements were also brought to a halt.
Vanguard gathered from the nephew of the deceased, Mr. Terfa Atile, that he and the deceased sat outside their compound when the police officer dressed in mufti attempted to trespass on their house.
Mr. Atile said the late Aondowase accosted the officer and urged him to stop the act which infuriated the Police Officer.
He was said to have left the scene without uttering a word only to return dressed up in his uniform and immediately pulled out a gun and shot the young man and thereafter took to his heels.
Aondowase was said to have been rushed to the Federal Medical Centre Makurdi, where Doctors confirmed him dead.
The brutal killing sparked angry reaction from youths of the area who burnt cars and property after barricading the Federal highway in search of any uniform personnel for reprisal attack.
The mob also took to the burning of tires on the highway, and completely obstructed the flow of traffic.
Benue State Police Commissioner, Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed, described the killing as "barbaric".
Alh. Ibrahim frowned at the Police officer's uncivilized and nefarious attitude saying that it was unacceptable and cruel.
He said, "The incident is barbaric. The police officer responsible for this will be arrested, detained, tried and subsequently dismissed. We will not condone such wicked and unlawful act from our officers", Mohammed fumed.
At the time of filing this report, a detachment of mobile police officers had been deployed to the area to restore peace and also ensure that the crisis did not spread to other parts of the town.
Vanguard further gathered that the late Angu before his demise was the only surviving son of his aged mother.

At Last, Iran Admits to Arms Shipment
By Damilola Oyedele

Foreign Affairs Minister, Ajumogobia
Almost four months after Nigerian security officials seized an arms shipment, Iran has finally broken its silence and admitted that the 13 containers of arms and ammunition indeed emanated from it.
It disclosed that the shipment was actually meant for The Gambia as part of a confidential agreement signed three years ago and that last October’s seizure was the third of such shipments to the West African nation.
It was, however, not disclosed whether the first two had passed through Nigeria and evaded detection by security officials.
Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Nigeria, Mr. Molla Abdulla, made these revelations at a press conference to mark the 32nd anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in Abuja yesterday.
In a no-holds-barred session, Abdulla added that Nigerian authorities were already aware of the shipment from the time it berthed in Lagos in July 2010 and had already seized it.
He queried why the State Security Service (SSS) chose such a sensitive era in Nigeria after the tension created by the October 1 bombings in Abuja to publicly “seize” the shipment.

“I had informally informed the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Odein Ajumogobia, and the Senate President David Mark that the shipment was meant for The Gambia, not Nigeria. I also asked them not to allow people who do not like the good Nigeria-Iran relationship to destroy our relationship with each other. I asked them to urge the Nigerian media to stop speculative stories until investigations were concluded,” he said.
The envoy said no Iranian diplomat was a part of the shipment to Nigeria and denied reports that any suspect was sneaked out of the country during the visit of the Iranian Foreign Minister to Nigeria.
Abdullah admitted that businessman, Azim Aghajani, sought refuge in the embassy after the story broke and heat was turned on him.
He however insisted that Aghajani had come into Nigeria legally and was transacting the business to tranship the arms to Gambia through legal channels.

“He came to us and explained the situation. We are here as an Embassy to help our nationals. We advised him to stay here. We informed Nigeria’s foreign ministry about it and they asked that access be granted to men of the SSS. We worked out modalities for this with Dr. Martin (Permanent Secretary, Foreign Affairs) and the SSS came here to talk to Ambajani and later said they wanted him in their office.
“He was invited five times and they later decided to hold him in custody without informing us. We decided not to tell this to the press but our agreement with Ministry of Foreign Affairs was broken,” he added.
On why the materials on the bill of laden were listed as building materials, Abdulla said the company responsible for the shipment probably decided to do that because of the sanctions against Iran since it was doing business with a French shipping company.
“Gambia expelled our diplomat because they felt we had disclosed a confidential agreement which we had. Senegal also temporarily severed ties with us because it wondered why we had to send such huge shipment of arms to Gambia which is its neighbour,” he added.

Armed robbers forced male passengers aboard a Tamale-bound bus from Accra a fortnight ago to have sex with female passengers after robbing them of virtually everything.
The horrifying experience occurred on Monday, October 11, 2010 between the hours of 1am and 2 am at a spot near Kintampo where the armed robbers struck.
A passenger and near-victim who was only spared because she was in her period, Amina Mohammed, narrated on Adom FM on Wednesday, October 27, how the gang forced a man to break her own daughter’s virginity as they poked guns at his head to have sex with the about 14-year-old girl or pay with his life.
The man was taking his daughter to school as she had gained admission to the Tamale Senior High School.
Another elderly lady was paired with a young man, and as she wailed from what she said was excruciating pain, the heartless robbers ordered her to shut up and enjoy the act. But out of anger she cursed them, warning them God will punish them, while they laughed and claimed God had long punished them already.
Speaking to the host of the programme, Jerry Justice, Amina who said she was travelling to Tamale for her father’s funeral together with her mother, narrated when they got to Kintampo sometime after midnight, the road had been blocked with three men on the right side of the road, three on the left, four in the middle and two standing behind wielding AK-47 assault rifles.
Among the robbers, she said were two women who wore braids.
Amina said the four standing in the middle of the road held torchlights which made the driver and passengers presume them to be policemen and so slowed down. The driver however accelerated upon realising that they were robbers, driving through the blockade.
The robbers however pursued them on motorbikes and shot at the bus and eventually managed to stop the bus as the passengers screamed and prayed. A passenger was hit in the process.
When the bus stopped, one of them boarded the bus and asked all on the bus to get down. They took all jewelleries, mobile phones and money on the passengers before announcing that the passengers were going to “enjoy” themselves.
According to Amina, the robbers then asked all the female passengers to undress, and they were to take off all clothing, including their underwear and brassiere.
The passengers were initially reluctant to obey the order, however warning shots scurried them into obedience.
Amina said she was still dressed up, insisting she was in her period but the robbers persisted in seeing “evidence’, whereupon she also stripped before they told her she was a “bad luck” for their charms.
They however gave her several slaps, just as they did to the other passengers.
She said the robbers forced about three of the men to have sex with one female passenger and the experience was as terrifying as it was traumatic for both sides.
The man who was forced to sleep with his daughter had protested vehemently and had vowed he was not capable of what the robbers were asking of him, however he gave up when the robbers fired shots on the ground around his feet.
And as he bent over his daughter, they both burst into uncontrollable tears as they wailed over the taboo, with daughter asking her father to be gentle because the act was painful while the robbers also hit him with gun butts to “perform”.
As punishment for his refusal to stop when he was asked to, the driver was handed five women to have sex with.
And while all this went on, Amina said no vehicle passed, with the robbers escaping through the bush after they were done. The driver needed to be revived with water before he could regain some strength to continue the journey. The incident has since been reported to the police.

Penis theft panic hits city

abs-cbnnews.com
Posted at 04/24/2008 1:13 PM


KINSHASA (Reuters) - Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.
Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.
Rumors of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo's sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.
Purported victims, 14 of whom were also detained by police, claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear, in what some residents said was an attempt to extort cash with the promise of a cure.
"You just have to be accused of that, and people come after you. We've had a number of attempted lynchings. ... You see them covered in marks after being beaten," Kinshasa's police chief, Jean-Dieudonne Oleko, told Reuters on Tuesday.
Police arrested the accused sorcerers and their victims in an effort to avoid the sort of bloodshed seen in Ghana a decade ago, when 12 suspected penis snatchers were beaten to death by angry mobs. The 27 men have since been released.
"I'm tempted to say it's one huge joke," Oleko said.
"But when you try to tell the victims that their penises are still there, they tell you that it's become tiny or that they've become impotent. To that I tell them, 'How do you know if you haven't gone home and tried it'," he said.
Some Kinshasa residents accuse a separatist sect from nearby Bas-Congo province of being behind the witchcraft in revenge for a recent government crackdown on its members.
"It's real. Just yesterday here, there was a man who was a victim. We saw. What was left was tiny," said 29-year-old Alain Kalala, who sells phone credits near a Kinshasa police station.

Teased as 'small,' man cuts off penis

MANILA, Philippines - Teased by his friends for having a "small" sex organ, a man in Cagayan de Oro City did the unimaginable: he cut it off.
Police said the man cut off his own penis with a bolo.
The man, whose name was withheld by authorities, has been declared out of harm, but doctors said they will not be able to restore the dismembered organ.
Myrna Villanueva, a psychologist, said the man should be closely monitored by doctors because of his condition.
Villanueva said the man may fall into depression once he realizes what has happened to him, and that he may even hurt himself again.
"Something is [now] missing, and the very important part that is missing speaks of masculinity, power and strength of a man... It's not normal. The fact nga ang normal na tao is to preserve one's self," she said.
She said the man must undergo therapy and counseling for him to recover mentally and emotionally. -- Report from Primy Cane, ABS-CBN Cagayan de Oro
