A man is standing trial at Sabo Magistrate's Court, for allegedly beating up his landlord and attacking a policeman, tearing his singlet which the prosecution saidcost N90, 000.

The defendant, Mr. Akinsola Ajayi, 32, was arraigned on five counts of assault and malicious damage. When the case was called up in court, the prosecution could not read the charge sheet clearly and after several failed attempts, the Magistrate, Mrs. Bola Folarin-Williams, halted the proceeding in anger. She said, "Who are you reading the charge sheet to? Is it to the court or the accused person? Are you strange to this court? You don't know how to read the charge sheet or what?" Folarin-Williams subsequently adjourned the case until April 23 and Ajayi was returned to detention. The charge sheet, which our correspondent obtained, reads in part, "That you, Akinsola Ajayi on the December 5, 2012 at about 10.30pm at 13 Adebolu Street Bariga in the Lagos Magisterial district, did conduct yourself in a manner likely to cause breach of peace by unlawfully disorganising the peaceful environment of the Street and throwing out bucket, property of one Ibrahim Olusesi and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 166 (d) of criminal law of Lagos State."

Seven Dead in venezuela vote protests

CARACAS—Violent protests over the outcome of Venezuela's presidential election to replace late president Hugo Chavez have left at least seven dead and 61 injured, the attorney general said Tuesday. "The most serious thing is that in these violent actions, seven Venezuelans died," said Attorney General Luisa Ortega, adding that 61 were injured. So far, 135 people have been arrested, she said. Violent protests swept parts of Caracas and other cities around the country Monday night after the National Election Council proclaimed acting President Nicolas Maduro the winner of Sunday's election and rejected opposition demands for a recount. Venezuela's president-elect Nicolas Maduro and opposition candidate Henrique Capriles blamed each other for the wave of deadly protests. Accusing "fascists" of the violence, which left at least seven people dead, Maduro said he would not allow the opposition to go ahead with a march through the center of Caracas. Capriles said the government had "ordered" the melee.

5000 Repentant Abia criminals Seek Amnesty

The House of Representatives on Monday said 5,000 repentant Abia criminals have petitioned the National Assembly, complaining of non-extension of amnesty to them. The House said the youths were those previously involved in criminal acts, including kidnapping, who voluntarily surrendered their arms in 2010 when the state government offered them amnesty. Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions, Chief Uzor Azubuike, disclosed this on Monday in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, when he led members of his committee to pay courtesy call on Governor Theodore Orji shortly before theybegan to hear the petitions by the youths. Meanwhile, while the hearing held, most of the Abia youths asking for amnesty besieged streets in Aba in protest. However, Azubuike said, “We arehere because of petitions by over5000 Abia youths previously involved in criminal acts. They are complaining that they were not included in the Amnesty programme of the Federal Government.” He said, “If they are not listened to, it has the capacity to engulf the nation into crisis. There is danger of a backslide if the youths abandoned their criminal acts and nothing is done to resettle them. It will be uncanny of the Federal Government to ignore them. The petition is a fallout of your action when you offered the youth amnesty to make them drop crime.” The chairman commended Abia State governor for fighting crimes in the state and the ability to mange crime in the state, saying that no other government across the country has done as much as the state has done in security matters. He also commended President Goodluck Jonathan for his youth empowerment programme, which culminated in the amnestyprogramme of the repentant militants. “So we are here today to listen to those petitions from the youths from this state. Amnesty office has confirmed that they have the petitions. We are here to see how these youths can be captured in the programme,” Azubuike explained. Receiving the committee members, Governor Orji noted that though Abia is now peaceful, there was once upon a time when it had the problem of kidnapping. “That time, Abia became the den of kidnappers. Aba became a ghost city. Everybody ran away. Ivisited Abanta’s place [a memberof the committee], there was nobody, they had all fled, I saw only his posters. That was the situation and we fought it. We fought them doggedly. “We tried amnesty here. They came here and I saw them. They told us their grievances, and we acceded to their complaints and proposed amnesty to them. Theyaccepted and we built camps. They brought their arms. They were in camps and we were planning to settle them. But when they heard that the Federal Government had provided largesse to their colleagues, they abandoned the camps. “We took their names to the Federal Government but no response. Though they left camp,they promised that they will not make any trouble because we treated them like human beings. They maintained it till their kinpin, Osisikankwu was killed. Please, tell the Federal Government to start where we stopped.”

Don’t impose tax on churches, cleric warns FG

Founder of the Cherubim & Seraphim Success Gate Inc, Akure, Primate Ademisokun Turton, on Saturday warned the Federal Government against imposing taxes on churches in the country because doing so would have adverse effects on the citizenry. Turton stated this at the inauguration of the newly-elected officers of the Ondo State chapter of the C&S Unification Church executive in Akure, the state capital. He said, "Nigerian leaders have created enough problems for the citizenry. Imposing taxes on churches would worsen the socio-economic crisis which Nigeria is going through. "The truth of the matter is that the payment of such tax will be the responsibility of church members thereby creating more trouble for the poor masses. "The best thing the government at all tiers can do now is to be giving subventions to churches." Turton noted that the dreaded Boko Haram sect would not stop their attacks in the country until there was a strong indication that a northerner would succeed President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015. He said, "I am not surprised that the Boko Haram sect has rejected the amnesty offer from the Federal Government. It is now clear that their agitation is political. What they want is either Nigeria breaks or they rule it. "It (Boko Haram) is a problem created by the Northern elite. It is the political class in the north that is using the Boko Haram people to foment trouble. The rejection of amnesty showed that they have realised that creating more trouble is the only way they can rule Nigeria. "If President Jonathan will contest for a second term in office then there cannot be an end to Boko Haram." Turton recalled that crises had been contributing to the emergence of Nigerian leaders since 1999.

He is my son," says Namita, caressing the monkey. More than four years ago, her woodcutter husband found a dying baby monkey under a tree after a fierce storm. He brought the animal home in Chandrapur village on the outskirts of the Udaipur town in Tripura's South District. "I did not have a son. God finally gave me one," says Namita, as she continued to breastfeed the monkey. I ask her whether she has been breastfeeding Buru- who is around five years old- for too long. "I will continue to breastfeed him as long as he wants it. He will always remain a little one for me," she says. She says she also feeds her pet monkey "expensive cow milk" which she could not afford for her children. Namita Das has two grown up children, but she continues to suckle her pet monkey.

A man arrested for impregenating two of her daughter,attempting to rape the third

A 58-year-old man from Agbura community, Yenagoa Local Government, Bayelsa State was on Thursday arrested by the police for allegedly impregnating his two daughters. The suspect, whose name was not disclosed, was also said to have attempted to rape his third daughter. Our correspondent gathered that the arrest was initiated by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Women Affairs, Mrs. Pulu Zifawei. The matter reportedly got to the office of the special adviser after the suspect made several attempts to rape his younger daughter. The 14-year-old daughter, a student of the Community Secondary School, Agbura, was said to have reported the sexual harassment by her father to the school counsellor during a guardian and counselling session. The school counsellor, who is also the victim's class teacher, reported the case to the Ministry of Women Affairs which alerted the police. The suspect was arrested and detained at the Azikoro Police Station. A community source, Rowland Eview, told our correspondent that investigations by the police revealed that the suspect had already impregnated two of his daughters. One of the daughters, 23, was said to have conceived twice for the father but mysteriously lost the babies at birth. The second pregnant daughter was said to have relocated from the community out of shame. The 21-year-old son of the suspect, who declined to mention his name, said he became aware of his father's shameful acts at the age of 12. "Our mother had reported the matter to the members of the family. On that day, our father nearly beat my mother to death. Each time the issue came up, my father would beat my mother," hesaid. He said the father had also inflicted machete cuts on him and his elder brother for daring to challenge his actions. A senior police officer at the Azikoro Police Station confirmed to our correspondent that the suspect was in detention but said the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Alex Akhigbe, must be contacted for further details. But Akhigbe told our correspondent that he was in a meeting.
