"Preliminary laboratory investigations indicates that the outbreak cannot be attributed to any infectious organism, bacterial or viral. The outbreak is also clearly not due to Ebola virus disease as feared by many at first.

An Ijaw group called the Ijaw People’s Development Initiative, IPDI, in Delta State, over the weekend asked President Jonathan to grant presidential pardon to former governor of Delta state, James Ibori, before he leaves as president of Nigeria on May 29th.

"Ibori should be freed. Hundreds of persons, who looted heavily from government coffers are walking freely in the streets. The continuous incarceration of one corrupt man among a million other corrupt citizens cannot change the menace of high level corruption in the country. Ibori’s imprisonment could be seen as a witch-hunt and such is highly barbaric and provocative and the Nigerian government must quickly do something about his matter. Despite the ordeals Ibori is passing through, Deltans hold him in high esteem and his great achievements while in office cannot be discountenanced.

Two young sisters are being locked inside an alarmed bedroom at night to protect them from their mother’s paedophile husband – and social workers say it’s fine.The authorities have astonishingly given the go-ahead to the monstrous plan the mum dreamed up so she can sleep with their vile stepfather.

A couple, Eucharia Chukwuma and Jerry Oko-Oboh residing in Joshua street, Ajangbadi area in Lagos state have been arrested for stabbing 10 year old Chidinma pictured above in her private part over allegations that she fiddled with the private part of their 3 year old daughter, Peace on April 6th.

According to Punch, on the day of the incident, the 10 year and the 3 year old, who are neighbours, went out to play. After the couple's daughter returned home from playing with Chidinma, she complained to her parents that Chidinma had fiddled with her private part. Angered by the allegation, the girl's mother Eucharia went to Chidinma's house and met with Chidinma's mother, Ofia.


She asked to see Chidinma and when she saw her, she told the little girl to follow her. On getting to the couple's house, Chidinma denied the allegation and was beaten up and stabbed with a broken bottle and smeared it with pepper. Chidinma's mother, hearing the cry of her child, rushed to the couple's house but found that the door was locked.

Seeing the harm they had done to Chidinma, the couple immediately fled their compound. They were later arrested by the Okokomaiko Police station and dragged before an Apapa Magistrate Court on a three count charge bordering on assault.

The case is currently in court.
