  • CAC’s prophet Abiara to marry new wife at 75

    Two years after the demise of his wife, the General Overseer of Christ Apostolic Church, Vineyard of Comfort popularly known as CAC Agbala Itura, Prophet Samuel Kayode Abiara yesterday said he is prepared to re-marry.

    The cleric made the revelation at an elaborate send off service held in his honour as the retired General Evangelist of CAC Worldwide in Bashorun, Ibadan.

    While giving his farewell speech as the retired General Evangelist, Prophet Abiara said: “It’s a year and half my beloved wife Christiana Aduke Abiara went to be with the Lord.

    “I missed her so much. It was all over the news when the event took place. A lot of people are wondering and asking questions what would I do?

    “I told them I am waiting on God, that whatever He tells me I will do. Well, by God’s grace, I will remarry in few days time and you will be informed.

    “I consider it imperative to re-marry because it was stated in the Bible. It was in the Bible that if a man loses his wife or a woman loses her husband, he or she must re-marry, particularly because of the nature of my work.

    “My children have held a meeting that it was not good for me to be alone in the house as all of them have travelled out and God spoke to me that I must do it and by the grace of God, you will get informed soon, ” he disclosed.

    Speaking on his retirement, he said contrary to people’s notion that he wants to quit the work of God, he is still an active worker in God’s vineyard, saying his retirement is to obey the church’s constitution which makes it compulsory for officers to resign after clocking 75.

    He also added that God has given him an assignment to establish a foundation after his retirement, which will cater for the less privileged.

  • Mugabe laments, says his wife, ‘Grace now cries everyday’

    Ousted Zimbabwe president, Robert Mugabe has revealed that his wife, Grace cries daily. He explained that Grace weeps over the harassment she receives, especially over her doctorate degree.

    This is the first time Mugabe would speak on the emotional torment of his wife, three months after he was forced out of office by the military.

    South Africa’s News 24 reports that Mugabe gave this insight at a meeting with African Union chairperson, Moussa Faki Mahamat during a courtesy call he made to the Mugabes at their Blue Roof Harare mansion.

    The former leader also told Mahamat that he doesn’t feel safe and that his pension has not been paid by President Emmerson Mnangagwa. He said, “They told you I was safe, but how can I be in this environment? “My wife is crying daily.

    They are persecuting her… What am I without my wife and family? We are not safe.” Mugabe said his wife was being harassed over her PhD from the University of Zimbabwe. Last week UZ Vice Chancellor Levi Nyagura was arrested for alleged abuse of office for awarding her the degree in 2014.

    Mugabe to meet Mnangagwa

    Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has requested a meeting with his former boss‚ Robert Mugabe.

    The two former allies are set to meet for the first time since Mnangagwa ascended to power through military assistance.

    Mugabe said this to close family and friends at his private residence‚ “Blue Roof”‚ in Harare at his 94th birthday celebrations.

    “He requested for a meeting and promised to bring along other leaders (from Zanu PF) so that we could talk‚” Mugabe said.

    He added that he would not hold back because Mnangagwa and the military had acted illegally and lied to the people.

  • Court sentences man to death for killing wife who infected him with HIV

    An Ikeja High Court on Tuesday sentenced one Katungi Phillips to death for stabbing his wife, Justina James, to death for allegedly infecting him with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

    Justice Raliatu Adebiyi, sentenced Phillips after finding him guilty of murder.

    “The prosecution was able to prove by cogent circumstantial evidence that the defendant intended to kill the deceased.

    “I hereby find the defendant guilty of the murder of Justina James.

    “In view of the mandatory sentence for murder in Section 221 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011,the defendant, Katungi Phillips is hereby sentenced to death, may the Lord have mercy on his soul,” Adebiyi said.

    Adebiyi, in her judgment rejected Phillips defence of provocation.

    The judge said that the multiple stab wounds inflicted on Justina by Phillips were excessive in comparison to the single stab wound the convict sustained.

    Adebiyi said that based on the evidence before her, the defence of provocation was not plausible and that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt

    According to the prosecution led by Mrs O. R Ahmed-Muili, the convict committed the offence at 3.21 a.m. on July 26, 2014 at his residence at Pako House, Oniru, Lagos.

    Ahmed-Muili said that the convict, who had been married to Justina for two-years, stabbed on her body with a kitchen knife after discovering that she had allegedly infected him with HIV.

    “After discovering that she had allegedly infected him with the virus, the deceased threatened to leave him for another man.

    “He stabbed his wife with a kitchen knife during the ensuing argument and he also attempted to kill himself by stabbing himself in the abdomen with the knife,” she said.

    The police arraigned Phillips on Feb. 8, 2016.

    The prosecution called four witnesses, three police officers and the sister of the deceased to testify during the trial.

    Insp Alexander Onoja, the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) during his testimony at the trial said that the defendant confessed to the police to have stabbed his wife.

    “He confessed that he murdered his wife because he discovered they were both HIV positive and he was infected through her.

    “He alleged that she informed him that she was leaving him for another man,” he said.

    The IPO said that when the police visited the crime scene Justina was already dead.

    He said police found Phillips laying beside her corpse with a knife wound to his abdomen.

    Philips, however, in his submission during the trial, using the defence of provocation, said his wife was stabbed while they were arguing over his missing mobile phone.

    “We were arguing over my missing phone, she stabbed me with the kitchen knife, I grabbed the knife from her hands and stabbed her once,” Phillips told the court.

  • My wife uses her private part to invoke curses on me, Pastor tells court

    Pentecostal Pastor, Bernard Towoju, has urged an Igando Customary Court, Lagos, to dissolve his marriage to his wife, Abosede, for allegedly using her private part to invoke curses on him.

    Mr. Towoju, 53, said in his divorce petition on Monday that “I cannot continue to make love with a woman who always goes naked and swears for me with her private part”.

    According to him, Abosede is stubborn, wayward and troublesome.

    “She once came to my office to fight me and tore my clothes in the presence of my colleagues. We fight on daily basis and hurt each other a lot.

    “We always land in the police station after our fight, in fact, we are regular customers at the station,’’ he said.

    The petitioner accused his wife of threatening his life, adding that his wife always hit him with dangerous weapons whenever they quarreled.

    “I had to run away from the house I built 10 years ago to rent an apartment for safety.

    “She chased me with cutlass, bottles and sticks; our neighbours can testify to that.

    “I am afraid, I cannot sleep under the same roof with her with my two eyes closed,” he said.

    He begged the court to dissolve the marriage that the love he once had for her had faded and he could no longer tolerate her ill-nature and troubles.

    The respondent, Abosede, a fashion designer, accused her husband of calling her a witch.

    “He said everywhere he went for solution to his problems, they always tell him that I am behind his predicament.

    “My hands are clean; I know nothing about his woes.

    “Towoju abandoned me and the children 10 years ago, I have been taking care of the children,” the 46-year-old woman added.

    The mother of four urged the court not to grant her husband’s request for the dissolution of the marriage, saying “I still love him”.

    In his judgment, the court President, Akin Akinniyi, said the petitioner was adamant despite all mediation from the court and family.

    “Since the petitioner insisted on divorce after several interventions, the court has no choice than to dissolve the union in spite of the fact that the wife still claims she loves her husband.

    “The court pronounced the marriage between Pastor Bernard Towoju and Mrs Abosede Towoju dissolved today, both parties henceforth ceased to be husband and wife.

    “Both are free to go their separate ways without any hindrances and molestation,” Akinniyi ruled.

  • Army confirms killing wife of Boko Haram’s factional leader, Mamman Nur in Lake Chad

    The Nigerian military on Saturday said the wife of Mamman Nur, the factional leader of Boko Haram, was among those killed when troops attacked the group’s location in the Lake Chad region.

    The announcement came hours after the military declared Mr. Nur had been “fatally injured” during an operation.

    The military did not explain how Mr. Nur was identified.

    The State Security Services, SSS, had in September 2011 placed a N25 million bounty on Mr. Nur, blaming him for a car suicide bombing at the UN building in Abuja that year.

    Since then, Mr. Nur has continued to evade the Nigerian security while still being active in the command hierarchy of the Boko Haram.

    In 2014, Mr. Nur broke away from the Abubakar Shekau command and midwifed the formation of AbuMussab Albarnawi faction of the Boko Haram group.

    Mr. Albarnawi is said to be the surviving son of Boko Haram’s spiritual founder, Muhammed Yusuf, who was extra-judicially killed by the security forces after he was arrested for leading his group to wage a bloody war against the Nigerian security forces in August 2009.

    The spokesman of the Operation Lafiya Dole Theatre Command in Maiduguri, Onyema Nwachukwu, said about 250 Boko Haram fighters on the side of Mamman Nur (Albarnawi camp) surrendered.

    The statement also warned residents of Kano, Yobe and Jigawa states to be vigilant as some of the dislodged Boko Haram fighters are currently fleeing towards their border villages with an attempt to, “diffuse into the local communities.”

    Mr. Onyema said the new feat of victory was achieved following the sustained “onslaught on Boko Haram terrorists’ enclaves in the Lake Chad region where a factional leader of the group Mamman Nur has suffered grave injury, while one of his wives has been killed in the battle”.

    “Moreso about 250 foot soldiers from the Albarnawy camp have surrendered to Nigerien Authorities due to the devastating artillery and aerial bombardments by Operation Lafiya Dole troops.

    “Many of the insurgents who fled the onslaught are now taking advantage of the “AMNESTY” offered by the Nigerien government by surrendering to Nigerien Forces,” he said.

    The military also said among the insurgents “fleeing from the ongoing offensive are senior and junior commanders in the Albarnawy faction who are now attempting to melt into other communities in and around Kano, Geidam and Gashua axis unnoticed.”

    The statement indicated that one of the identified junior commanders was known as Bana Bafur.

    “Members of the general public, particularly in Kano, Geidam, Gashua, Hadeja and the northern part of Jigawa are therefore enjoined to be vigilant and watch out for strange faces suddenly appearing in their communities and promptly report same to security agencies”, the statement warned.

    Mr. Onyema added that about 700 insurgents have also surrendered to troops in the general area of Monguno following troops’ clearance operations.

    He said the ongoing onslaught will be “tenaciously sustained”.

    The statement recalled that the Federal Government of Nigeria has since provided a window of opportunity through the Operation SAFE CORRIDOR program to insurgents who surrender willingly to be deradicalised and rehabilitated.

    “About 300 insurgents who willingly surrendered are currently benefiting from this programme”, he said.

    We call on all Boko Haram insurgents to abandon the futile struggle and take advantage of the Safe Corridor program by surrendering willingly to troops in any location nearest to them. We guarantee their safety and incorporation into the programme for deradicalisation and rehabilitation,” Mr. Nwachukwu, who is also Deputy Director Army Public Relations at Theatre Command Operation Lafiya Dole said.

  • Robbers invade NLC Chairman’s house, abduct wife

    There was pandemonium on Sunday in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State as armed robbers attacked the residence of Mr Leonard Nkah, chairman of the Ebonyi Chapter of Nigerian Labour Union (NLC).

    The robbers, five in number stormed the residence of the Chairman in the evening of Saturday and ransacked the house carting away some valuables including some undisclosed amount of cash.

    Mr Nkah in a chat with newsmen confirmed the incident but noted that he was not around when the robbers struck.

    “I was called by my wife around 9pm that robbers came to our house and demanded for my whereabouts. They said they got information that there was money that was brought in and that they need the money. They forced her to lie down despite the fact that she was pregnant. They ransacked the house and took whatever they could find but they were disappointed that there was no such huge amount of money in my house”

    He lamented that the robbers physically attacked and abducted his wife and later dumped her in a bush.

    “They assaulted my house help who opened the door when they came in, they also assaulted my wife and later abducted her. They beat her up while forcing her to lie down with her pregnancy which was difficult for her. They took her to other residents in the area where they also robbed before dumping her in the bush”

    “I thank God I wasn’t there, if I was there maybe it may have been a different story. They had information that I had huge sum of money. I was gathering resources to organise this reception for the Governor today, maybe some people told them I have money”.

    Nkah urged the police to beef up security in the state during the Christmas to checkmate the activities of the criminals.
