OMG! Pregnant woman raped to death

22-year-old pregnant housewife, Aisha Abdullahi, pictured
above, was found raped and murdered at her home in Kano
yesterday January 20th.
According to Sahara reporters, sources at the Kano state
police command say the husband, Abdullahi Mohammed,
came back from an outing and met his wife defiled and in a
pool of her own blood.
The state Police spokesperson, DSP Musa Magaji Majia,
while confirming the incident, said a full scaled
investigation has been launched by the police.
It will be recalled that two weeks ago two men were
charged in a Kano Court for the murder of a housewife.
Another case of a murdered housewife was reported in
Ungogo Local Government Area (LGA) of Kano State in
December of last year as well.
The deceased, who was known to be pregnant, was found in
a pool of blood when her husband returned home and
discovered her body.

Fake doctor arrested in Lagos

A 43yrs old man, Opeyemi Adesina, who allegedly paraded
himself as a consultant gynaecologist (taking care of
women body) with the Lagos University Teaching Hospital,
Idi-Araba, says he paid N100,000 to buy the seven forged
certificates he used.
Adesina was arrested on Tuesday by the Alakara Police
Division on Alowolodu Street in the Alapere in the Ketu area
of Lagos.
He was arrested after his landlord, Mr Akorede, wrote a
“save-my-soul” petition to the management of LUTH some
weeks ago that Adesina brought home female patients to
treat in his house and did abortions for them, among other
unwholesome practices, which could implicate him.
Akorede had further explained in the letter that when he
confronted Adesina, the "doctor" allegedly claimed to be a
consultant gynaecologist with LUTH, adding that he
(Adesina) brought the referral cases from the hospital to
his house so that he could have time to attend to them.
According to PUNCH, the LUTH authorities, who could not
find such name in the record of their consultants then
forwarded the letter to the police, and Adesina was
thereafter arrested.
It was gathered that the police also recovered the forged
certificates.
It was observed that the certificates included a fake MBBS
certificate of the University of Ibadan, and a fake
membership certificate of the Nigerian Medical
Association.
Speaking with PUNCH, Adesina said he paid N100,000 to
one Kolawole in Ibadan, Oyo State, to get all the
certificates, adding that he had used them for only three
years.
He said, “I bought the certificates from Kolawole in Ibadan.
That was three years ago. I bought them from him for
N100,000. He printed the seven certificates.
“I do not know where he stays. We did not meet in any
specific location. We usually met at fast food joints or any
agreed place. For instance, it was at Agodi Gate area that I
gave him the money and got the certificates. I decided to
use another name on the certificates.
“I forged them because I dropped out of the university. I
was actually studying Medicine. However, I dropped out in
the 500 level due to financial reasons.
“I married my wife about five years ago. She thought I was
a certified doctor. She actually came to me for treatment in
the Ketu area and that was how we met. We have a child.”
Adesina, who denied his landlord’s allegation, said he only
operated a laboratory where he attended to his
patients. He said, “Three years ago, I decided to get the
certificates just to cover up for the failure to finish my
university education.
“It is not true that I brought women to treat at home. The
truth of the matter is that I have a laboratory and the
women came there. I usually did tests for them and by the
time the test results were out, I would ask them to visit a
hospital for treatment.”
The suspect’s wife, Olawumi, pleaded that her husband
should be released as he had realised his mistake, and
would never venture into such again.
But the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP
Dolapo Badmos, said the suspect would be charged to
court as soon as investigation was over.

hot water on 9-yr-old maid gives her reasons" »
According to the report, the Junior Secondary School 1
(JSS1), student, had asked the 39-year-old mother of two
to give him some money to buy a pair of socks to for the
new school year, but the Nnewi, Anambra State born
woman refused, prompting the boy to ask a neighbour
identified as Usman , for the money.
When Obasi who lives in the Apapa area but sells cloth
materials at the Oyingbo Market, got to know that another
person had given the money to Okorie, she got mad at him
and descended on him.
While Obasi was beating Okorie, he was said to have ran to
the kitchen where the woman pursued him and grabbed an
electric kettle of boiling water » and emptied it on the boy.

with hot water for leaving door open" »
It was learnt that the matter was also reported to the Lagos
State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team, and a
temporary shelter was provided for the boy, where he also
received medical attention.
The Enugu State born Okorie narrated his plight thus:
“I told my madam last Monday that I needed to buy a pair of
socks for school because my teachers would seize my
sandals without it. But she did not buy them, and I went to
collect money from our neighbour.
When she saw the pair of socks, she became angry and
started to beat me. I ran into the kitchen. That was where
she grabbed the electric kettle and poured the hot water on
me. It was around 7pm on Thursday.”
But in her defense, Obasi said she did not deliberately
brutalise the boy, adding that everyone knew she treated
Okorie like her son.
“On Monday, pupils resumed school, and Chinedu told me
he needed a pair of socks and I said I would buy them for
him. Unfortunately, when I came back, I forgot. Later, our
neighbour said Chinedu collected N100 from him to buy the
pair of socks. I was angry.
I queried him and warned him against the behaviour. On
Thursday, I gave him N100 to buy another pair of socks.
When he came back, he told me he used the money for
something else. So, I beat him up.
There were times when I gave him N1,000 to go and buy
fuel. He would spend three hours and later say he
misplaced the money. So, I disciplined him on Thursday.
He ran into the kitchen, and that was when I mistakenly
poured the water on him. I sell clothes at the Oyingbo
Market. He is my domestic help. I brought him from his
village in Enugu State about four years ago. The boy is
stubborn. I am not a bad woman.”
The State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Dolapo
Badmos , confirmed the arrest of Obasi, saying that the
suspect would be charged to court soon.

Ridiculous: prophet set church member on fire becaise he heard she won't burn

A prophet at the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC), Unity
Street in Abule-Egba, Lagos, yesterday, allegedly set a
member ablaze during service.
“Our prophet said the spirit of God whispered to him that I
would not burn if he sets me on fire. When I came out,
they poured kerosene on my body and set me ablaze. But,
unfortunately, I was burnt beyond recognition and before
the other church members could get water, the deed had
already been done,” The Nation quoted the victim, simply
identified as Mama Bosede, to have said.
On his part, the prophet told The Nation that he clearly
heard a voice instructing him to set a member on fire to
prove and confirm that God was in their midst.
“I heard the voice clearly, but I don’t know what
happened after we set fire on her. God has been speaking
to me since and it has been working, so I wonder why
now,” he said.
Following the incident, some members left the church for
fear of being the prophet’s next victim.
“I don’t pity her; she was the one who allowed herself to
be deceived by the prophet. Why did the prophet not try
the fire on himself or any of his family member?” a
resident, Irene Ohekina said.
