  • Police strip woman with beard to confirm gender

    A woman, Teresiah Mumbi, has threatened to sue two police officers from Nairobi, Kenya, after they allegedly forced her to undress to confirm her gender because she has a beard.

    Mumbi, 31, said she was stripped on May 15 after being arrested for a traffic offence, reports Myjoyonline.

    Speaking on Friday at KTN Television, the woman said two unidentified female officers demanded to confirm whether she was a man or a woman.

    “Those two female officers came and demanded that I undress and I put my legs apart. After they were satisfied they let me back to the cell,” Mumbi said.

    Mumbi said she stopped shaving her beard because the beard became very itchy every time she did.

    “I even stopped working. I do not want another incident like that,” she said.

    “Is this justice? If these are the officers mandated to provide security, what will happen to me in public?” Mumbi asked.

    Huruma OCPD Alice Kimeli is yet to confirm the claims by Mumbi as she said she was in a meeting when contacted.

     

  • Woman swept away during ritual bath, attacked by crocodiles in river

    A Victoria Falls woman identified as Yvonne Dube, while having a ritual bath in the flooded Zambezi River, almost drowned as she was swept away by its rising tides.

    A naked Yvonne Dube was almost swept down the 200-metre deep Zambezi gorge in the crocodile-infested river. However, a swirling current swept her back towards the river bank and she clung to a tree.

    Rangers from the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management authority and her boyfriend, Mr. Khumbulani Msebele, used a rope to reach for her.

    Sources said that Dube was with her cousin, Silence Siziba, when the incident happened.

    The two were allegedly bathing in the Zambezi River where people usually go to perform rituals.

    Police officer commanding Victoria Falls District, Chief Superintendent Tadeus Macondo, confirmed that he got a report about a woman, Yvonne Dube, of Chinotimba who lost her balance while bathing with her cousin and was swept off by the river for about 200 metres.

    He said the two had gone for a tour of the river when they decided to take a bath.

    “Dube was lucky, as she survived an attack by the crocodiles as well as being washed down the 2oo-metre deep gorge.

    “She clung to a tree after the water pushed her to the bank,” said chief Macondo.

    He said Ms. Siziba had rushed to the rainforest exit gate, where she alerted rangers who swiftly reacted to rescue Dube.

    The victim sustained bruises all over her body and was taken to Victoria Falls District Hospital.

  • Woman arrested for using hot pressing iron, hot water on maid

    The Lagos Police Command said it has arrested a 36-year-old woman for allegedly using hot pressing iron and hot water to inflict injuries on her maid, one Chioma Samuel.

    Spokesman of the command, Chike Oti, told newsmen on Sunday in Lagos that the woman sought to hide the crime by dressing-up the maid to cover the wounds .

    Oti described the incident as another case of man’s inhumanity to man, adding that the girl was assaulted last Wednesday at 47, Ogundana Street, off Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos.

    He said the girl was mentally and physically abused by the suspect by using hot pressing iron to cause grievous injury on the victim’s hands and legs.

    According to the police spokesman, the suspect also poured hot water on the maid which scalded her skin.

    “On Thursday March 8, the woman’s crime against the girl was exposed when she brought her children to a private school located somewhere in Ikeja alongside the maid.

    “Unfortunately for her, the prying eyes of other mothers who came to the same school to drop off their kids, noticed the gaping wounds on the upper and lower limbs of the victim who accompanied the suspect to the school.

    “After questioning the girl, they waited for her Madam who had gone to drop her kids in their different classrooms. When she finished and was about to drive off, she was confronted by these women who nearly mobbed her.

    “They were calmed by some teachers who heard their piercing voices which rented the air. The women told the suspect to take the girl to a hospital or else they would petition the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State.

    “In spite of their warnings to report her to the authorities, the woman stubbornly came to the school on Friday March 9, accompanied by the child victim whose wounds were manifestly untreated.

    “On seeing that their warnings were taken for granted, the women made good their promise to call the attention of the Commissioner of Police, who immediately ordered the arrest of the woman,” he said.

    Oti said that investigation into the case was in progress, stressing that the woman would be charged to court on Monday.

  • Boko Haram: Shekau on the run, now disguises as woman, Army warns Borno residents

    The Nigerian Army says credible information indicates that factional leader of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau, now dresses as a woman in an effort to escape from the Theatre of Operation.

    Army Spokesman, Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman, who confirmed this in a statement on Tuesday, said Shekau could no longer bear the heat and had abandoned his followers.

    “He is running for his dear life. He is desperately trying to escape the theatre, disguised as a woman and dressed in Hijab.

    “We reliably gathered that to avoid detection, Abubakar Shekau alternates between blue and black coloured hijabs. He was last seen in a black hijab.

    “We, therefore, call on all those remaining Boko Haram terrorists to know that they are following a coward moving about in hijab and disguising as a woman.

    “We also request all the remaining Boko Haram members to come out from hiding and lay down their arms and be treated humanely,’’ Usman said.

    He said concerted efforts were ongoing to track and apprehend the fugitive terrorist leader.

    The army spokesman, therefore, appealed to members of the public, especially the residents of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States to be more vigilant and security conscious.

    He also asked them to be on the lookout for Shekau and other terrorists who might disguise as women to escape.

  • Shock as woman married to 2 husbands gets divorce

    It was in total shock and disbelieve that an Idi-Ogungun Customary Court in Agodi, Ibadan, listened to a middle aged woman narrate how she successfully got herself married to two husbands in Ibadan and sustained the relationships simultaneously for years.

    The woman, Modinat Mufutau, this morning told the Idi-Ogungun Customary Court, how she was able to manipulate her two husbands in order to satisfy herself and get enough money to take care of her three children.

    Modinat made her startling confession while begging the court to dissolve her 12-year-old relationship to one of her husbands, Ajadi Mufutau, for alleged lack of care and maltreatment.

    Modinat Mufutau who explained how she got herself entangled in two marriages, told the court that she met Mufutau in 2005, and that he impregnated her without marriage formalities.

    According to her, at the beginning of the relationship, Mufutau pretended to be a nice and responsible man.

    “But after he impregnated me, he began maltreating and beating me whenever I demanded money for antenatal care.

    “I left his house after delivery of our child and hooked up with another man, Saheed, who impregnated me two years later but turned me into a punching bag after delivery of my second child for him.

    “Later, I settled down with Mufutau again and got my third pregnancy for him, but Saheed, who I had my second child for begged me to continue with him.

    “I decided dating two of them without any problem until they met each other in my rented apartment and fought.

    “My Lord, I have made up my mind to divorce Mufutau because he has stopped giving me money for the maintenance of the two kids I had for him since he fought his rival, Saheed, in my apartment,” Modinat said.

    Mr Ajadi Mufutau did not contest the petition for dissolution.

    Rather, he told the court that “Modinat is a shameless woman. I was not aware that she still dates Saheed until I met him in the apartment I rented for her and she did not see anything bad in her action.

    “I just pray the court to allow the first child to be in my custody so that I can properly take care of the child and I promise to support Modinat for the care of my second child,” Mufutau said.

    President of the court, Chief Mukaila Balogun, and the court’s assessors, Aare Samotu and Ganiyu Alao, agreed and dissolved the union.

    The court acceded to Mufutau request and awarded custody of their first child to the respondent and the second child to the petitioner.

    Balogun ordered Mufutau to pay N3,500 as monthly allowance for the upkeep of the second child and warned both parties against fomenting trouble.

  • Shame! woman arrested for allegedly bathing co-tenant with faeces

    A certain 28-year-old jobless woman, Temitope Abiodun, who allegedly bathed her neighbour with faeces, was on Wednesday in Lagos released on a bail of N100, 000.

     

    The accused, a resident of Agege, a Lagos suburb, is standing trial on charges of assault, breach of peace, and resisting police arrest.

     

    An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court which gave the ruling, also asked the accused to produce two sureties as part of the bail condition.

     

    The Magistrate, Mr J.A Adigun, said that the sureties must be gainfully employed and should also show evidence of two years’ tax payment to the Lagos State Government.

     

    According to the Police Prosecutor, Sgt. Godwin Awaze, the accused committed the offences on June 12 at their tenement building.

     

    He said the accused assaulted her co-tenant, Mrs Mercy Ifijah, by bathing her with faeces.

     

    “The accused had a misunderstanding with one of her neighbours and in the process, she bathed her with faeces,” he said.

     

    Awaze said the accused also conducted herself in a manner likely to cause a breach of the peace by stripping herself in the public in order to escape police arrest.

     

    “The accused resisted Sgt. Gabriel Ejiofor, a police officer, while trying to arrest her; she removed her clothes and became naked to avoid being arrested.”

     

    The prosecutor said the accused, who was a member of a dreaded secret cult called “Awawa”, had been terrorizing residents of the area.

     

    “She always bring her gang to threaten residents and also beat up the complainant,” he said.

     

    The offences contravened Sections 42, 166, 119 and 173 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015(Revised).

     

    Section 44 of Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015(Revised) prescribes three years imprisonment for membership of an unlawful society, while Section 119 provides three years jail term for resisting arrest.

     

    The case was adjourned until July 3 for mention.
