Apparently disturbed by the news that 214 girls of the rescued so far are pregnant, Borno State governor Kashim Shettima yesterday expressed worry that the country may have to contend with the unborn offspring of Boko Haram as the women could reproduce future terrorists. Over 200 of the girls have been discovered to be carrying pregnancies of various months, ostensibly for their kidnappers who were thought to have routinely raped them and forced them to marry their abductors.

The governor who said the Boko Haram insurgents deliberately raped women with the intention of getting them pregnant so they would give birth to future insurgents as successors of their violent struggles, called for a special programme to break the chain anticipated by the insurgents.

In what may be regarded as obsession with his football team, an Arsenal fan has made his girlfriend write a test he set about his football club, to determine wether he would dump her or not. The test contained multiple choice questions, tables to complete and 'in your words' section. The test had instruction to read every question at least two times and check answers at the end if she has time. Questions in the test included: “What was the scoreline for the 2014 FA Cup Final vs Hull City?”, “What player scored the winning goal in the 2014 FA Cup Final?” and “Name the starting 11 squad of this season in their relevant positions.”

The girlfriend scored 43.5 out of 50 to which the man made a comment that he won't be dumping her.

President Goodluck Jonathan has come under attack for diverting N8billion settlement funds for victims of the 2001 massacre in Zaki Biam, Benue State, North-central Nigeria.
A member of the legal team representing victims of the killings, Sebastine Hon, on Wednesday blamed Mr. Jonathan for diverting the funds meant for the settlement of the massacre victims to the Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam.
In a petition to the president dated January 14, and signed by Mr. Hon, Ocha Ulegede and Chris Alashi, all members of the legal consortium for the massacre victims, the lawyers described Mr. Jonathan’s action as “most embarrassing and shocking.”

The Kano State Hisbah Board has stopped a father from giving out his daughter in marriage to the man who allegedly defiled her.

Malam Ya’u Shuaibu, father of the 13-year-old victim, had earlier granted the man, who defiled his daughter, permission to marry her.

Shuaibu had explained that he met with the defiler’s parents on the matter and a date for the marriage had already been fixed.

The alleged defiler, Usaini Ja’afar, was reported to have ganged up with his three friends – Sani Isa, Jamilu Sani and Isa Musa – to commit the act.

But Director General of Kano State Hisbah Board, Malam Abba Sa’id Sufi, said the marriage had been cancelled till further notice.

“Yes, our attention has been drawn to the matter. We cannot allow the marriage to hold; we have stopped it. It is not only about the father and his daughter; it is a r*pe case, which is an offence in Islam.

“Let me tell you one thing; one cannot just r*pe a girl and then plead with her parent to allow him to marry her and get away with it just like that. It is not possible; we cannot allow this. According to Islam, he has to be punished for the sin committed. We cannot allow somebody to r*pe a 13-year-old girl and then marry her just like that; it is unfair. Investigation into the matter is still ongoing”, he explained.
