2 YEAR OLD BATHED WITH HOT WATER,STEP MOTHER IN DETENTION

By
KATSINA—A housewife, who allegedly bathed her two-year-old step-son, Ahmed, with hot water that led to his death in Yandaki town, Kaita Local Government Area of Katsina State, is currently in Police net.

It was gathered that the 21-year-old woman, Samsiya, was a rival to the boy's mother, who had packed out of their matrimonial home, leaving the boy with Samsiya and his father, Hayatu.

Police

Spokesperson, Katsina Police Command, DSP Gambo Isah, who confirmed the development to journalists in Katsina, said: "Samsiya has been picked up and arraigned before a competent court. The court will determine her innocence or otherwise."

Hospital sources revealed that Ahmed was referred to the hospital on September 5 from Yandaki Primary Health Care Centre, where he was initially admitted following injuries he sustained from hot water poured on him by his step-mother.

At the hospital

A source at the General Hospital said: "Ahmed suffered 90 degrees burns. The hot water affected him right from the head to toe. But our people tried their best before we lost him."

Ahmed died about three weeks ago at Katsina General Hospital after doctors tried unsuccessfully to save his life, which made the Police to step in and arrest Samsiya.

Docked, but…

It was gathered that Samsiya was arraigned before Senior Magistrate Falile Dikko, but that nothing could be done on her case as she appeared to be mentally unstable during trial.

But fast forward twenty years, and Michael had changed his name to Younnes, traded his Christian faith for Islam, and the sleepy Belgian suburb he’d grown up in for the front lines of ISIS’ war in Syria. Now, back in Belgium, he still expresses open support for the group’s warped ideology and says he wishes he could return to the group’s self-proclaimed Islamic State. “I regret coming back,” he told me. “I want to live under the caliphate.” Michael 'Younnes' Delefortrie Despite his shocking words, the most striking thing about the 28-year-old is how utterly unremarkable he appears. The first time we meet, in a café in the port city of Antwerp, he wears a hooded swea...

A herdsman carrying a gun Herdsmen armed with guns killed 20 farmers and injured eight other people in a mosque in Niger state over the weekend, police said on Monday. Fighting over land use between semi-nomadic cattle herders and more settled communities, claims hundreds of lives yearly in the middle belt and in northern Nigeria. Last year, the government said preventing attacks was a security priority. Bala Elkana, a spokesman for Niger state police, said the attack happened at about 05:00 a.m. (0400 GMT) on Saturday at Epogi community, in the Mokwa area of the state. “It was a clash between farmers and herders which had been initially handled but some herders felt unsatisfied and … they launched a reprisal attack on some villagers praying in a mosque,” Elkana said. Three people had been arrested, he said. Nigeria’s poor transport and communications infrastructure can slow the speed at which reports of events in some rural communities are passed on.

 A brothel in the red light district of Amsterdam. In a bid to improve working conditions in the city’s sex industry, a brothel run by prostitutes themselves will be opened today by the mayor of Amsterdam. An initiative of the city council, the new brothel occupies 14 “windows” across four buildings on the so-called Wallen, Amsterdam’s red light district. About 40 sex workers will be able to operate out of the premises, which are being run by a foundation called My Red Light, in which prostitutes take an active part. “Everything in this project, from the statutes to the decoration of the rooms, is thought out by sex workers,” said one of the prostitutes involved, who asked to remain anonymous. “It is my hope that My Red Light will offer pleasant workspaces, where sex workers can be who they are and feel welcome.” Prostitution has been legal in the Netherlands since 2000. Owners of sex businesses must obtain a licence and adhere to municipal rules, while prostitution is a ...

SHERIFF IS A CONTRACTOR BROUGHT INTO PDP DURING OUR TRYING TIME 29th Feb 2017, February 27 2017 Emeka Ihedioha, a former deputy speaker of the house of representatives, has described Ali Modu Sheriff as a contractor invited to help the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during its low point. He said Sheriff’s contract had long expired and that he has nothing to contribute to the opposition party’s development. Ihedioha told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt on Monday that Sheriff by his conduct had failed to show an attitude worthy of uniting and strengthening the party. According to him, the conduct, actions, language and temperament displayed by Sheriff has succeeded in planting disunity amongst members. “His utterances after the Appeal Court judgment in Port Harcourt created division in the party rather than unit members, this showed that he is not interested in the progress of our party,” he said. “Sheriff has nothi...
