In a quite devastating report, a young girl in Benue state has been admitted in a hospital after she was allegedly battered by her stepsister.
A Human rights activist, Ukan Kurugh shared the story online where he revealed that the young girl identified as Ngohol was rescued on Saturday, September 11 from the hands of her stepsister who allegedly physically abused her.
According to Ngohol, her offense was that she closed the door on the finger of her stepsister.
Sharing the incident alongside photos, Ukan wrote,
“At about 2:37 pm, on Saturday, 11th September, 2021, I received a distress call. It was a case of physical abuse of a minor, Ngohol Sonter (exact age not known) by her step sister, Wasen Sonter (names have been changed).
Ngohol was that afternoon severely beaten by her step sister for allegedly not shutting her mouth, thereby revealing happenings at home to neighbours and whoever cares to listen to her.
She was not fortunate that day because concerned neighbours tried to talk her step sister into avoiding the temptation of abusing the little girl. The abuse, which left the minor with bruises all over her body is coming shortly after Ngohol was beaten for allegedly closing the door against the finger of one of her step sister’s children.
Angered by words from neighbours, Wasen took Ngohol into her room, closed the door and gave her the beating of her life.
Ngohol said she receives beating severally in the hands of her step sister daily, though not as bad as that of Saturday.
She is on admission in a private hospital Makurdi. Doctors at the facility are suspecting a case of dislocation in one of the hands.
It is a clear case of abuse as it is beyond child’s discipline. My boss Dr. Mrs Helen Teghtegh had put a call to NAPTIP who came and picked the lady in question to their office while the girl is to continue with her recovery and we are possibly gonna be handing her over to the agency tomorrow officially when she is discharged.”

BBNaija season 6 housemate, Angel was singing a ‘remixed’ version of “Koroba”, a song by Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, and her fellow housemate, Whitemoney, wasn’t too pleased.
When the song was released in 2020, Tiwa Savage came under heavy backlash as some netizens claimed she was promoting prostitution with the song.
However, the singer came out to dismiss the claims, saying she was not glorifying prostitution but pointing out the double standards involved in judging politicians and ladies dating them.
According to her, such ladies are tagged “prostitutes” whereas the politicians are not crucified, hence the line “money we you no work for.”
Moving back to the BBNaija house, Angel and Queen were singing the song passionately while cleaning the lounge. However, Angel added that she would eat the politician’s money like palliative.
Her words, “I no come this life to suffer
If I follow politician
Make them write am for paper
Shebi na national budget
We go chop am like palliative”
Whitemoney, who was in the kitchen at the time, appeared to be irritated by the song as he had a look of disdain on his face.
Angel, who has sparked different controversies since the show began, recently lifted her dress to show off her private part which Whitemoney brushed off saying, “she’s a marketer”.
Well, with Whitemoney’s facial expression, it is safe to say he read more meaning to her lyrics.

Mr Ibu who spoke about his life in an exclusive interview with Punch, revealed he made the hilarious request because he knows that he’s not good looking and would prefer his child look like his beautiful wife.
“I had my first child in 1991, I remember the joy in my heart; I was happy and grateful to God. I picked up my baby and said that he should look like his beautiful mother and not me, everyone laughed.
They asked why I was saying that and I said that because I know I am not good looking, and they all laughed. I am very truthful to myself; I know that I am not good looking, so I do not want any of my children to take after me in that aspect, they can take after me in every aspect but not in terms of beauty, and as God will have it, they look beautiful just like my wife”. He said.
Read more excerpts from the interview below,
What are the values you have instilled in yourself that have helped you as a dad?
First of all, you have to build confidence in yourself. You learn everyday as a father, and I never miss any opportunity to learn everyday and this makes me a better parent. I have people who learn from me and I teach them how to build a home even though I had some ups and downs in the course of trying to build a home. My first and second marriages failed; they (my wives) left me after having a child each for me. I wondered what made them make such decisions and they made me know that it was because I didn’t have money. This made me know that I have to be able to keep my family and provide for them and make sure that they are satisfied and not have any reason to look down on me.
Are any of your kids toeing your career path?
Yes, I have two of my children who are toeing my career path and I am very proud of that. They are proud of their father; they love my art and decided to follow in my path. I never forced them, it was their choice and I am glad that they are doing what they love, and it also shows that they are proud of what I do and want to be like me.
How do you discipline your kids?
I do not believe in beating children, I am not saying others who do it are wrong, but it is not my style. In disciplining my children, I have a different method, I rather speak to them, I caution them a lot and they can easily see that I am not pleased with whatever they might have done wrong, they realize their wrongs and apologise to me, and believe me, they mean it and do not repeat such.
