Disturbing News: Calabar Naval Officer's Private Part Goes Missing

According to a report by Vanguard on September 18th, 2023, there have been incidents of male private part theft in Calabar, Cross River State. These activities have been occurring for three weeks and have now extended to the Nigerian Navy Barracks in Akim. In one particular incident, a naval officer, whose name was not disclosed, was stationed at the entry point of the barracks when a young man named Samuel entered. Samuel was directed to the sentry point for security screening.

During the interaction between Samuel and the sentry officer, the naval officer reportedly felt a sensation similar to an electric shock around his genitals. Upon touching the area, he realized that his private part had disappeared. This led to the naval officer raising an alarm, and Samuel was apprehended and beaten. The naval officer and others present demanded that Samuel return the missing genital immediately.

It is worth noting that the alleged genital thief neither confirmed nor denied responsibility for the disappearance of the private part, nor did he indicate whether he would return it.

Heartbreaking confession: Father admits to poisoning baby after drugging wife.

According to a Vanguard report dated September 16, 2023, Musbau Salisu, a 28-year-old man from Doka community in Tofa Local Government Area of Kano State, has admitted to killing his infant daughter using rat poison. Salisu confessed that he drugged his wife, Saade, who is the mother of the baby, with sleeping pills in order to carry out his plan. He was apprehended by the Kano State Hisbah Board three months after committing the crimes and has confessed to the acts.

The motive behind the crime was Salisu's preference for a male child. Since his wife gave birth to a girl, he felt compelled to kill the child. Salisu disclosed that he bought rat poison from Rimingado and mixed it with tea, which he then gave to the baby. However, it took some time for the poison to take effect. Additionally, he purchased sleeping pills to drug his wife and make her sleep. He obtained these items from roadside drug peddlers.

When questioned about whether he killed the baby due to her gender or because of the mother, Salisu denied both reasons, stating that he committed the crimes for personal interests.

Dr. Mujahid Aminudeen, the Hisbah Deputy Commander General in charge of operations, characterized the case as a criminal matter and confirmed that it would be handed over to the police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for further investigation. Aminudeen expressed his astonishment at the incident, emphasizing that the blessing of any marriage is for Allah to grant the union with a child, and it is not acceptable to prioritize a male child over a female child. He condemned the father for taking the life of his own daughter.

Woman allegedly burns son with hot water over girlfriend visit

According to a Vanguard report on September 4th, 2023, a housewife named Maryam Zakari allegedly poured hot water on her son, Babanne Abdulahi, in Cross River State. The incident occurred because the son had the audacity to bring his girlfriend home.

It is reported that Maryam Zakari boiled water and used it to shower her son, resulting in severe burns. The incident took place in Bogobiri, a residential area known for its Hausa-Fulani population.

An eyewitness named Dauda stated that instead of verbally cautioning her son, Maryam Zakari decided to drench him with hot water when she found him in his room with his girlfriend. She poured the scalding water on his body and called for help. When Vanguard reporters visited the scene, they witnessed many sympathizers scolding the woman for her actions.

Dauda further explained that the issue was not only about the presence of the girlfriend but also about the son not giving his daily wages to his mother and instead giving them to his girlfriend. This could have been a contributing factor to Maryam Zakari's extreme reaction.

The victim was immediately taken to a private clinic in Calabar for medical treatment. However, the state police command Public Relations Officer, Irene Ugbo, stated that the matter had not been officially reported to the police when contacted.

Efforts to communicate with the husband and wife proved unsuccessful as they both remained silent.

Fraudster and soldiers join forces to track down Islamic cleric after prayers go wrong

In a report from Punch Newspaper dated September 4th, 2023, a man named Hamzat has raised an alarm after claiming that suspected soldiers forcefully entered his block factory situated in Bankole Estate, Magboro, Ogun State. They allegedly seized his Toyota RAV 4 vehicle during the incident.

Hamzat, who spoke with PUNCH Metro on Saturday, stated that the soldiers, approximately five in number and travelling in a pick-up van, were searching for his younger brother, Sulaimon, who happens to be an Islamic cleric.

According to Hamzat, the series of events began when he introduced a yet-to-be-identified individual, suspected to be involved in internet fraud and also the brother of his girlfriend, to Sulaimon for special prayers. After the successful prayer session, his girlfriend's brother expressed a desire for additional special prayers. Subsequently, Sulaimon introduced him to another Islamic cleric in the Agege area of Lagos, whose identity remains unknown.

Hamzat mentioned that he is unaware of the exact circumstances that unfolded between his brother and the individual he introduced him to for special prayers.

On Tuesday, Hamzat received a call informing him that some people were present at his block factory and wished to purchase blocks. In response, he quickly went to the factory and provided the interested party with the price of the blocks. During this time, he noticed a group of soldiers entering the estate. They approached him and expressed their desire to speak with him. Confused by the situation, Hamzat inquired about what was happening, but the soldiers forcefully grabbed him.

Upon looking inside their vehicle, Hamzat recognized the individual he had introduced to his brother and the individual's sister, who happened to be his girlfriend. The soldiers demanded that Hamzat accompany them and offered to drive his car, but he refused to hand over the car keys. Instead, he agreed to drive alongside them, asserting that he had not committed any crime or engaged in any form of theft.

The soldiers took Hamzat to their barracks in Ebute where, as alleged by Hamzat, they collected ₦10,000 from him and seized his car until he produces his brother. Hamzat mentioned that one of the soldiers consistently called him, asking for his brother to be produced.

When the number belonging to the soldier was contacted by the correspondent, the recipient requested that the correspondent come to the Army base at Arepo.

Upon being contacted, the spokesperson for the 81 Division of the Nigerian Army, Lt Col Ayeni Olabisi, promised to investigate the matter. Similarly, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, confirmed that the case is currently under investigation.
