Katsina man chains, tortures wives for 10 months

The police in Katsina State have arrested a middle-aged man, identified simply as Samaila, for allegedly chaining and torturing his two wives, Fatima Salisu and Hadiza Musa, in his home for 10 months.

Fatima hails from the Markemagaji Gari village, while Hadiza is from the Kalyarubandaba village, both in Katsina State.

The two women, aged 20 years each, have no children with the suspect.


Samaila was picked up by police detectives from the home he shares with the victims at the Yannadabaiyye village in the Rimi Local Government Area of the state on Sunday.

He was arrested by policemen from the Rimi Divisional Police Headquarters before he was transferred to the Criminal Investigations Department of the command on Monday.

The spokesman for the command, SP Gambo Isah, confirmed Samaila’s arrest.

He, however, did not give details of the case, stressing that it was still under investigation.

Punch correspondent gathered that the two women were saved by providence when Hadiza’s mother decided to pay her a surprise visit.

It was learnt that the old woman pleaded with Samaila to allow her take away a sewing machine she bought for her daughter since it was not being used.

Samaila reportedly refused to release the sewing machine and assaulted his mother-in-law in the process.

The woman reported the incident at the Rimi Divisional Police Headquarters, prompting the police to invite the suspect for questioning.

Not satisfied with Samaila’s responses to basic questions, detectives were sent to search his house.

The search led to the discovery of the two women in very terrible conditions.

Items recovered from the house include large chains used by the suspect to restrain the women, assorted charms and weapons.

In an interview at the police station, Fatima and Hadiza painted a horrific picture of their ordeal.

They alleged that their husband locked them up in a room after which he shaved their pubic hair and cut their fingernails with which he prepared a concoction, which he forced them to consume.

Hadiza said, “Samaila never allowed us to leave the room. We did everything in the room; we bathe and answered the call of nature there.

“He always chained us and only removed the chains whenever he wanted to have sex with any of us; he would have sex with any of us that he fancied, while the other watched.”

Hadiza also removed her veil to show her back, which was full of sores allegedly from the beating Samaila subjected her to. She further alleged that the suspect used to flog her and Fatima with electric wires.

Fatima told the police that she was subjected to the inhuman treatment for 10 months before Samaila married Hadiza, who joined her in captivity 10 weeks ago.

She explained that it was a taboo for any of them to let their husband know when they were observing their monthly period, because he threatened to kill them if he discovered that they were menstruating.

The two women could not say what Samaila’s source of livelihood was but stated that he regularly returned home with several wads of N500 notes.

A Katsina-based non-governmental organisation, Gender Associates and Social Inclusion, has taken interest in the plight of the two women.

WHO declares #Coronavirus international public health emergency

The World Health Organisation has declared Coronavirus epidemic as an international Public Health Emergency.

The decision Thursday came as the number of people diagnosed with the 2019-nCoV virus had skyrocketed to more than 8,200, surpassing the SARS case toll. There are also now people in at least 18 other countries with the virus.

“Over the past few weeks we have witnessed the emergence of a previously unknown pathogen which has escalated into an unprecedented outbreak,” WHO’s director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said.


Just a week ago, the agency determined the formal “public health emergency of international concern,” or PHEIC, declaration, was premature.

The deadly disease has killed at least 170 in China when it was first discovered.

This is the sixth time the World Health Organisation will be declaring a public health emergency.

50 Cent receives star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

50 Cent has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and it was quite a ceremony, with appearances from Eminem and Dr Dre and, unexpectedly, a diss at noughties rock band Evanescence.

The In Da Club rapper, real name Curtis Jackson, attended the ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard on Thursday (30 January), where large crowds gathered to watch the milestone moment in Fiddy’s career. Looking especially dapper in a two-piece grey suit and red polo neck jumper, 50 Cent was joined by close friend and Power actress Lala Anthony as he accepted the honour.

But he was particularly touched that his old pal Eminem, 47, made the effort to support him and deliver a speech that was, frankly, beautiful.


‘Of all the things I don’t remember about 2002, I have a very clear memory of the first time I met 50,’ Eminem told the audience who cheered along.

‘One of the first things I noticed about 50 was his presence because it just kind of felt like, he’s gonna be a star… It just seemed like he was the whole package.’

 Eminem clearly had a crystal ball at the time as Fiddy went on to become one of the biggest rap stars and music moguls.




Kobe Bryant could get street named after him in L.A... officials discussing options

L.A. City officials are having discussions on how to honor the late Lakers superstar and naming a street after Kobe is definitely up for consideration.

No official decisions have been made. It's still early in the process, but L.A. City Council members have already started the conversation.

One source says something that keeps getting brought up is some sort of tribute in the L.A. Live area right across from Staples Center, where Kobe balled out for nearly 20 years.

There should be more clarity about the plans early next week -- but it's definitely top of mind.


The Lakers will return to Staples Center on Friday to take on the Portland Trail Blazers ... the first game at Kobe's home court since his death on Sunday.

The turn out is expected to be massive  as the Lakers are planning several tributes to the Mamba, his daughter, Gianna, and the other 7 people who died in Sunday's helicopter crash.

Rob Kardashian not dating Tommie Lee, despite Wendy Williams' heavy claim

Rob Kardashian hasn't moved on from Blac Chyna with Tommie Lee despite heavy spec from Wendy Williams.

Sources close to Rob tell TMZ, recent reports claiming he's been dating the 'Love & Hip Hop' star are 100 percent untrue. They are told Rob and Tommie know each other, but they aren't close and don't even talk regularly.

Tommie's got her own show coming in the next few months, so any shot of Rob being on that is gone too.

Williams slammed Rob on her show Thursday for allegedly dating Tommie, someone she says has a worse track record than his ex, Blac Chyna.


While it's true Tommie does have quite the rap sheet -- especially after multiple arrests and a child abuse case in the past 2 yearsm but then it's all irrelevant, at least when it comes to Rob's dating life.

For the record ... Tommie's clearly not happy with Wendy's comments either and has sounded off on the talk show host in her Instagram stories.

Married woman paid N30k to act porn commits suicide

A married woman who got N30,000 for acting a pornographic video which went viral in Jos, Plateau state, has committed suicide.

According to NAN, the video which was uploaded on the internet weeks ago showed some young girls and married women engaging in sexual acts.

It was gathered that a man identified as Emeka, who resides at the Rayfield area of Jos, took the girls and women to a hotel in the same area to shoot the videos.

Emeka was said to have interviewed the women before stripping them n.a.k.e.d and having s.e.x with them on camera.


He paid the victims N30,000 each with a promise to pay additional N100,000 at a later date.

The practice had reportedly gone on for about three years, with over 50 girls and women featuring in the videos.

The video had generated reactions from the public with the victims becoming stigmatized.

Two girls who approached the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) office in the state said poverty and lack of need forced them to engage in the immoral act.

“This happened two years ago. My nephew was at the point of death and I needed to help my sister with money for his treatment. I met a lady at a beer parlour who told me about the man and I quickly agreed to do it,” one of the girls said.

“The painful part is that after I took the money home, my nephew still died. He promised us that he would release the videos outside Jos, but I later realised he only played us as we are not literate enough to know that once it’s on the internet, everybody can see it.”

Mary Izam, FIDA chairperson, said the association in collaboration with Red Cross and Teens Partners, has organised a rehabilitation process to save the victims from depression.

She said a married woman, who was one of the victims, had committed suicide after being stigmatized by members of the society.

Izam described the act as unacceptable and a crime against woman dignity and right as well as an offence against the nation.

She said the association and its partners would do all they can to ensure that the perpetrator was brought to book.

The chairperson urged women to engage in moral activities in order to avoid tarnishing their names and bringing the state to disrepute.

She called on other victims to utilise the rehabilitation process, adding that running away will be of no good to them and their loved ones.



Jeff Bezos is $13billion richer! He made it in minutes..

Jeff Bezos just added billions to his massive fortune -- which is nothing new for him, but what's new this time ... it only took a few strokes of the clock to make that increase.

Stock for the Amazon honcho's company surged 12 percent in a matter of 15 minutes Thursday afternoon, which equaled an astounding 11-digit increase to his bottom line.

The astronomical math? Bloomberg says Jeff added $13.2 BILLION just from the surge, which raises his net worth to about $129.5 billion. Forbes was a wee bit more modest, reporting Bezos added $12.8 billion to his portfolio, with a new net worth of $128.9 billion.

On an even grander scale -- the stock boost pushed Amazon's market cap north of $1 TRILLION!!! That's a lot of zeroes.

LeBron James, Anthony Davis honor Kobe Bryant with tattoos

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James appeared to debut a new tattoo in honor of the late Kobe Bryant, who died on Jan. 26 in a helicopter crash that claimed the lives of his 13-year-old daughter and seven more victims.

In a short video posted to his Instagram Story on Wednesday, James, 35, revealed he was in the process of getting a tattoo on his left thigh. Though James didn’t unveil the finished design, photographers caught a glimpse of his new body art during a team workout on Thursday morning.

Because the ink is covered by a clear bandage, it’s difficult to decipher exactly what artist Vanessa Aurelia tattoed on the three-time NBA champion. Photos appear to show a snake, in reference to Bryant’s “Black Mamba“ nickname, along with the words, “Mamba 4 Life.”


Meanwhile, Lakers star Anthony Davis also shared a video of himself receiving a similar tattoo from Aurelia, but he, too, hasn’t revealed what he received.

Abuja pastor denies anointing women's pants, bras with his photos

A viral news that claimed that an Abuja based pastor, J.S. Yusuf has been anointing the bras and pants of spinsters with his image, has been debunked as ‘fake news’.

The fake report with photoshopped bras and pants, emblazoned with the pastor’s photo, was shared on the popular Nigerian social media platform, Nairaland on Thursday night, ten days after Yusuf’s church trashed the story. The fake news publisher is a news platform called ‘Abuja Reporters’.

Pastor Shedrach Abang who issued a disclaimer on behalf of the church, Touch for Recovery Outreach International, on 21 January, said the report was concocted and dismissed it as false.

Joe Biden, 77, admits he needs a Vice President who can 'take over immediately' if he dies in office

Joe Biden has said that if he becomes president in this year's election, he would need to appoint a vice president capable of taking over the job at a moment's notice in case he dies while in office.

'I can think of at least eight women, at least four or five people of color, that I think are totally qualified to be vice president of the United States,' the former vice president said during a campaign event in Clinton, Iowa.

'But for me, it has to be demonstrated that whoever I pick is two things: One, is capable of being president because I'm an old guy,' the 77-year-old Biden said.


'No, I'm serious. Look, I thank God I'm in great health. I work out. No, I'm serious. You know, I work out every morning. I'm in good shape — knock on wood, as my mother would say,' Biden said during a question and answer session as reported by the Washington Examiner.

'I released all my medical records,' Biden added. 'But you never know. You never know what's going on. And I'm sure what would happen is I have — some people looking would say, 'Is the person Biden picked capable of, God forbid something happened to Biden, that they would be able to take over immediately?'

Nigerian man sentenced to life imprisonment for r.a.p.i.n.g wife's niece

A 37-year-old man, Francis Yusuf Kyamang, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for r3ping his wife’s niece.

The convict, of SS Quarters, Jikwoyi, Abuja, was convicted under the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act (VAPPA) which is applicable within the Federal Capital Territory.

A statement from the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) indicated that the victim, a 17-year-old Secondary School leaver, was brought to Abuja by the wife of the convict to temporarily assist in taking care of her baby having recently gained admission to one of the Universities in Kaduna.


“In her testimony, the victim said on the fateful day, she dropped her niece in school, got back home and met her uncle (the convict) at home which she found to be strange.

“Her uncle (the convict), asked her series of questions regarding her NECO exams which she answered and he further went ahead to ask if she had a boyfriend in the village.

“The victim said she does but they are just friends and the uncle asked if she was still a virgin and she confirmed to him she was.

Next, he grabbed her, unzipped her dress and forcefully penetrated her vagina,” the statement read in part.

It went further that all the victim’s efforts to scream and alert neighbours were abortive as the convict used a cloth to cover her mouth.

“After raping her, he later flogged her and locked her up in the house.

The medical report also showed that she was limping and her hymen had been tampered with. “He was arrested that same day, 13th September, 2018 by operatives of the NAPTIP while the case was filed on 11th December, 2018 after the completion of investigation.

“The convict was arraigned on the 28th of February, 2019 at the FCT High Court Jabi- Court 32 under Justice Hassan Babangida with charge number CR/70/18, under the VAPP Act 2015,” the statement added.

At the conclusion of the trial, the judge gave the judgement on January 15 and passed the sentence on January 28.

Stephen King says Oscars are ‘rigged in favor of white people’

Less than two weeks after appearing to talk down the need for dedicated diversity efforts when it comes to Academy Awards recognition, best-selling author Stephen King is sounding off on the ongoing need for inclusion in the film industry.

“I would never consider diversity in matters of art. Only quality. It seems to me that to do otherwise would be wrong,” the 72-year-old tweeted Jan. 14, sparking heated backlash from “When They See Us” filmmaker Ava Duvernay and activist-author Roxane Gay.

Cue the cultural mea culpa: The Oscars “are still rigged in favor of white people,” King, 72, now declares in a new op-ed for the Washington Post.


The man whose pop-lit catalog spawned cinematic classics such as “Carrie,” “The Shining” and “Shawshank Redemption” goes on to proclaim that “creative excellence comes from every walk, color, creed, gender, and sexual orientation, and it’s made richer and bolder and more exciting by diversity, but it’s defined by being excellent.”

King continues, “Judging anyone’s work by any other standard is insulting and worse it undermines those hard-won moments when excellence from a diverse source is rewarded (against, it seems, all the odds) by leaving such recognition vulnerable to being dismissed as politically correct.”

Referencing the initial tweets that sparked online outrage, the “It” author stands by his pronouncement that “judgments of creative excellence should be blind” but apparently this could only be “the case in a perfect world, one where the game isn’t rigged in favor of the white folks.”

The bottom line, King contends in his column, is that the Motion Picture Academy’s voting body stubbornly remains dominated by white males, citing stats that rank female membership at 32% of voters and members of color at 16% even after the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite forced the academy to adopt diversity reforms.

Still, not everyone in the Twitterverse was buying his newfound enlightenment.

“Came a long way in a week there, Stephen,” tweeted one snarky pundit, summing up the feelings of more than a few social media users.
