2 crippled women in court over alleged husband-snatching

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the case first came up for hearing on Nov. 28.

Yunusa had alleged that her colleague, Musa who resides at Karmajiji village, Airport road, Abuja was dating her husband.

Musa, a widow also prayed the court to compel the defendant to desist from carrying out her threat as well as pay her the sum of N200,000 as damages for defaming her and her daughter.

Musa said that the defendant on Nov. 21, came to her house, armed with a knife and cutlass, accused both her and her daughter of having an affair with Yunusa’s  husband.

Musa also said that the defendant then threatened to kill the two of them, burn their house and harm them if they did not stop ‘seeing’ her husband.

Yunusa, however, denied all the allegations brought against her by Musa when asked by the judge to comment on the accusations against her.

At the resumed hearing on Monday, Yunusa told the court that a meeting was held at the weekend at Karmajiji village and was attended by the chief and some elders to settle the dispute.

She said that they were advised to go to court and request for the withdrawal of the matter so that it would be settled out of court.

Musa however, corroborated Yunusa’s withdrawal wish, but said that if they failed to settle the matter, she would return to court.

The Judge, Haruna Manasawa, after hearing both parties in the suit, adjourned the case to Dec. 12 for ``report of settlement’’.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Musa and Yunusa are both physically challenged and are residing at Karmajiji residential settlement of the FCT. (NAN)

Ojukwu’s Will tears family apart

Widow of late Biaf-ran leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odu-megwu Ojukwu, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, and her children were said to have been more favoured than their other relations in the sharing of their father’s property as Ojukwu’s Will was read at the Enugu High Court yesterday.

The Will which was expected to have brought peace to the family now wrangling over who should control the assets left behind by the late Ikemba Nnewi since his demise on November 26, last year, has however been rejected by some of the beneficiaries through Emeka Ojukwu jnr.

In rejecting the Will which was read at the High Court by the Chief Registrar, Enugu Judiciary and Probate, Mr Dennis Ekoh, Ojukwu jnr called it a ruse.

They accused Bianca and her lawyer of allegedly causing trouble with the issue.

’’What I have to say about the Will is my position on it. It is Bianca and the lawyer that are doing what they are doing. We are waiting for the Will to be read; then I can make a statement on it. For the Will to be read, all of us, my brothers and all the beneficiaries would have to be present. And if the Will does not reflect the wish of my father, which we all know, we shall go to court,’’ he said.

Earlier, Bianca and her two sons had dragged Ojukwu’s brothers before the Lagos High Court over the control of Ojukwu Transport Limited’s, OTL’s, property situated at No. 29 Queen’s Drive, Ikoyi,Lagos, where Ojukwu once resided. The Will which was read by Mr. Ekoh also threw up some surprises when an ‘unknown’ name Tenny Harman was mentioned as number one among the late Ojukwu’s children.

Damasak is a boarder town with Niger Republic and about 120 kilometres away from Maiduguri, the state capital.


The killing, Saturday Vanguard learnt came barely two weeks after Governor Kashim Shettima visited some communities in the area which were ravaged by flood, and almost 24 hours after one of their own who also hailed from Damasak, the Chief of Staff, Government House Maiduguri, Alhaji Abu Kyari paid the affected Communities a sympathy visit .

Barman arrested after his first robbery attempt

Diminutive Oliseh Ojobo certainly cuts a picture of innocence for a 21- year-old man. The native of Delta State, who moved to Lagos two years ago, hopefully for a better life, is for the moment having his dreams on hold.

Ojobo was apprehended by security men at the Alaba International Market four weeks ago, when he accompanied two friends, Adekunle Yusuf and Tony Abose aka Old Baba, to a robbery operation. It was to be his first robbery operation.

Confessing his role in the matter to CRIME DIGEST, he said, “I lived with my uncle and I worked as a bar keeper at a hotel on Ajangbadi Road. Yusuf and Abose often came to the hotel where I worked with some other friends. They spent a lot of money on such occasions and would buy me food and drinks.
