About five years ago she attempted suicide but was stopped by people who saw her.

“But this time around, the husband said he entered his room because they were given two rooms by the wife’s family, so he entered his room while she the deceased entered into her room with the children. Very early in the morning when the children woke up to ease themselves they saw their mother hanging on the mango tree behind their house.

“It was said that the deceased during her first suicide attempt gave hardship as reason because before the war they were living well and had a personal business shop she was managing but when they relocated to the fathers’ house at Umuoghara they became small farmers and life became hard”.

two bedc staff

According to reports, the yet-to-be identified victims were working when electricity was suddenly restored, leading to their electrocution.

The Director-General, Young Nigerians Organisation, Victor Ojie, who confirmed the incident to PUNCH on December 22, accused the electricity company of not providing safety gadgets for its worker.

In his words,

“Over time, this ugly trend has been happening in Delta State; employees of the BEDC have been dying on the job. I wonder why the company cannot provide safety gadgets for its workers,

“When the workers want to go to the field, they usually switch off power lines that link to the area of work. After finishing the work, they will radio the office to switch the power on. Some of them sabotage themselves by switching it on while work is still ongoing, but if they have a safety guard, they will not be electrocuted. The families of the victims are in pain now; so, we urge the BEDC to compensate the families.”

Creche Nanny caught on CCTV breaking baby’s knee

A nanny of a popular creche in Lagos, was allegedly caught on CCTV intentionally breaking a baby’s knee.

In series of Twitter thread, a Nigerian author, Bayo Adeyinka who claimed the creche was managed by his wife, recounted the incident and how the nanny was exposed.

According to him, the nanny intentionally broke the baby’s knee to give the school a bad name, so she could start her own creche without any competition in the area.

Narrating the incident and how they were able to salvage the situation he tweeted,

“The Law of Recovery
When I got the call that day a few years ago, I knew there was trouble. Big trouble. My wife called that a caregiver had broken the leg of a baby at the crèche. Was it an accident?

“I asked her to rush down to the school and take charge of the situation. She was actually on her way for a course she registered for. When she got to the school, she played back the CCTV with the parents of the child in attendance.

“She didn’t believe the initial story she was told about the child falling down because all the floors were heavily padded. The child’s leg was already in plaster-of-paris.

“During the playback, the two caregivers in that particular class were caught on camera hitting the knee caps of the poor girl. That was enough as the parents screamed in agony.

My wife requested for the two care-givers, put them in the school bus and drove them to the police station. After writing her statements, the caregivers were detained. When she called me, I knew I had to rush back to Lagos.

“I got to Lagos about 10pm and we both headed to the home of the parents. We spent an hour at their gate before they opened. They were livid and rightly so. It was a night I won’t forget in a hurry. We were told the child had been dropped with her grandparents in Owerri.

“That night, my wife bought 3 tickets to Owerri and early the next morning, my wife, daughter and I were on a plane to Owerri.

“We had collected the number of the grandparents but we had no assurance that they would be willing to see us. When we got to Owerri, a vehicle I had arranged picked us up.

“I asked the driver to take me to the best supermarket in Owerri and he took us to one not far from the airport where I bought a choice wine and my wife got a big toy for the child. I also got some kolanuts in line with Igbo tradition. The parents of the child are Igbo

“I put a call to Grandpa, introduced myself and told him I was already in Owerri to see him. I pleaded that he should tell me his address. I still remember clearly that it rained that morning. After some back and forth, Grandpa reluctantly told our chauffeur his address.

“It was my wife’s first time in Owerri and I remember how she prayed right from our flight to Grandpa’s place

“When we got there, I presented the wine and kolanuts and asked for forgiveness. My wife was on her knees as she accepted full responsibility for what happened. Grandpa and Grandma brought out the girl and we saw one of her legs in POP.

“My wife was in tears. I presented the toy we brought and held the girl in my arms. We informed the grandparents of the actions we have taken including charging the caregivers to court.

“We could see that the grandparents were impressed and even surprised that we came from Lagos to Owerri. Before we left, Grandpa went into his farm to harvest cucumbers for us. That was when we felt some relief. We left around 3pm and headed back on our return flight to Lagos.

“When we got back to Lagos, we headed back to the parents house to give them feedback. Of course, the grandparents already informed them of what transpired. Then we now made an offer to defray all the medical expenses of their daughter.

“My wife also offered to reimburse them for their travel expenses to drop the girl with the grandparents. Finally, she offered the parents free tuition if they consider bringing the girl back to school.

“This was after we informed them that the caregivers had been charged to court and the CCTV video presented as evidence. That was really a very tough period for my wife as she had to go to court for the trial.

“It turned out one of the caregivers wanted to start her own crèche and she tried to sabotage the school so there can be a scandal- unfortunately for her, she was caught on camera.

“A while later, the parents called my wife. They told her they want to bring the girl back to her school as they were very impressed with the way the matter was handled. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard the news.

“The baby started attending tuition free but after some time, the parents paid of their own volition. But it didn’t stop there. The mother had a baby and she brought the new baby to the crèche also”.

“Deeper Life School Management begs us to withdraw the case” – Parents of malnourished, sexually assaulted student

Iniobong Archibong, the father of Don Davis, a student of Deeper Life High School, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, who was allegedly molested by his seniors, has revealed that the school authorities told the family to withdraw the case.

A video made by one Deborah Okezie, Davis’ mother, made rounds on social media recently. In the video, she’d lamented and beckoned for help from Nigerians, to help her get justice for her son who had been molested by his senior students and starved consistently at the Uyo Campus of the school despite the full payment of school fees.

Judging from the things that were said in the video Mrs. Okezie made, she had gone to pick him up on Friday from the school and was the last person to pick up her child there.

However, upon seeing her child, she noticed that he was sick and was not being attended to. She also alleged that she noticed her son was not able to sit properly, which prompted her to check his buttocks.

From the look of his anus, Deborah said her son had been sexually molested. This was later confirmed by doctors at the hospital where Don Davis was taken. He was put on a drip at the hospital and is currently on the 12th one.

Don Davis claimed that his seniors in the school inserted their fingers into his anus.

Speaking with SaharaReporters, Archibong stated that the state Superintendent of the Church, Deeper Life Christian Ministry, had visited the hospital where the boy was being attended to alongside the principal of the school, Ndidi Solomon; chairman of the school’s medical forum and another prominent member of the school board.

He said, “They all came here yesterday. Before the superintendent arrived, the three of them came. They were on their knees begging us to withdraw the video from the Internet but I told them we had no control over that. It had gone viral already.”

Archibong stated that the State Superintendent of the church expressed shock over the feeding conditions of students in the school.

He said, “The superintendent said he approves N2.2 million every week for the feeding of the students and that he didn’t understand why this could have happened. He said the principal has to explain.”

The distraught father said rather than explain, the principal was begging on her knees.

“She apologised, stating that she was the one that caused the incident. She said when the boy’s mother (my wife) came on November 11, and talked about it, she promised to expel those children from school but never did.”

Archibong added that the Akwa Ibom State Government has set up a committee to investigate the matter.

“The Commissioner for Education and some other state government officials were here with us this morning in the hospital. Members of the investigation committee are going to the school.

“The issue does not have to do with my child alone, what about other children that are being abused?”

The father said he was sure that justice would be served on the issue.

“These things should not continue; brutality and bullying should stop in our schools,” he said.

He said the case had been reported to the police and that a meeting had been scheduled for Monday afternoon with the Deputy Commissioner of Police in the state.

Man lists

A Nigerian man identified as Babajide, recently took to Twitter to highlight some of the behaviours women exhibit on first dates that makes men lose interest in them.

According to him, it’s “unladylike” for a woman to eat all the food in their plates or chew bones while on a date.

Babajide also said any woman that attempts to request for take away on a casual date is not a spec. He pointed out how some women pretend to want to pay for the takeaway by themselves, simply because they know the men will turn down the offer and pay for it.

In his defense, he said “a date isn’t an avenue to display that you’re a foodie! You are coming to have a discussion in the actual sense, the meal is just for refreshment ( I assume you’d have had your fill before coming) so focusing on the food and crushing bones is needless!”
