Puzzle as man sinks wife in pit latrine

When the news filtered into town that a man had pushed his wife into a completely filled pit latrine resulting to her death, the story sounded bizarre.

The news became stranger as the couple was described as friendly and gentle.

Following the development, residents of Agbado, in Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State have remained in shock.

It was bizarre!

It was shocking!

It was inhuman!

It was callous!

In fact, you could describe the act with all the invectives in the world and you would be right.

The middle-aged victim was identified as Rauda Alaraba who met her fate during a domestic squabble with her husband..

Some residents of the area have continued to raise posers:

What could have prompted the 46-year-old Surajudeen to throw his wife into the pit latrine in their rented house?

Was it done to punish her or was it accidental?

The murder suspect was paraded in Abeokuta.

The storey-building where the incident happened became a Mecca of sort when the news broke that Rauda was made to eat feaces after she entered the latrine before she gave up the ghost.

The marriage of the couple was said to have produced some children but the husband, it was learnt, was not gainfully employed and had to rely on the wife, a petty trader, for sustenance.

Many neighbours of the Alarabas, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, expressed concern that the suspect must have been under a spell as he was never known for violence.

However, Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikemefuna Okoye, while parading Suraju and other suspected criminals, at the State Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, narrated that the suspect committed the crime at about 7.20p.m. penultimate Sunday.

He said the suspect would be charged to court after the completion of the interrogation .While disclosing how the police got the story, Okoye said: “The Agbado Division had a distress call that a man had pushed his wife into a deep pit and we quickly rushed to the scene where the victim was met dead in the pit.

“The suspect was immediately apprehended and we are still interrogating him, he will be charged to court as soon as we are done with our investigations”.

Meanwhile, another couple are in police net over alleged illegal possession of firearms. George Dada, said to be an octogenarian and his 64-year old wife, Sidikat, were also alleged to be shielding their son said to be on the wanted list of police.

According to the police, findings revealed that the couple are parents to a wanted armed robber suspect, Adeyemi, who was at large.

The police commissioner said that the couple were arrested following the discovery of some guns and ammunition hidden in their residence located at 21 Obarinwa Street, Aiyegbami, Ago-Iwoye.

Okoye said, “The DPO of Ago-Iwoye, Stephen Iriavbijeh, got information that suggested that the couple’s son, one Adeyemi Dada, is a robbery suspect and he led a team to conduct the search.

“ On getting there, the suspect was not seen but, while executing the search warrant, one cut-to-size gun, two locally made pistols and 16 live cartridges were recovered in his mother’s wardrobe.

“Thus the arrest of the two of them in whose possession the firearms were found for thorough interrogation.”

The commissioner said the couple might be charged to court if the culpability of the allegation against them was established.

;Dthis toto girl stubborn sha olodo.

hey,dnt blame anybody

[size=38pt]why not if not?[/size]

you have spoken well my son

2 million: All u guys have said can just be summarized with one word...CORRUPTION...right from independence till date, from d public to d private sector, from churches to mosques, from govt to the masses....CORRUPTION....is our only problem. And if we wish to be greater than India or Brazil or China, we must do away with our corrupt leaders, we must spend our monies in Nigeria instead of going abroad...etc. As long as there is corruption, there must always be ethnic differences, forget the boko haram boys, if there where gainfully employed even eithout going to school they wouldn't have had the time to plot terrorism.

Water resavua in social studies.

bluezeski: God will punish all those involved in this National reserve... reserve of what? when they can't provide ordinary infracstructure for the people of nigeria, no road, no water, no house, no electricity, no schools, no jobs, NOTHING, but we have foreign reseves of $50b. what a shame!!! this can be likened to a man who has a fixed deposit account in his house, but his children are suffering from hunger, and they cant go to school and cant go to hospital, and their house is licking!!!

One day we shall wake up from this dream (' nightmare ') called NIGERIA. then, after we will define if actually we want to be 7 nations or no nation at all!!

what is wrong with you?are you still a kid?
must you shout over your religion?
or you didn't see Christians mentioned there?

haka_nai: Rubbish!!!Why sight only the negative vices exported by Nigerian Muslims?if only you sighted that the Nigerian Muslims go to Saudi in the international Quranic recitation and come back victorious then i would have seen sense than the rubbish of Denmark example. while at the same time you fail to sight the numerous scam by Nigerian churches even in the USA and Ukraine. In as much,your story makes alot of sense i think even yourself is driven by our greatest killer ethno-religious hooliganism/phobia.
Laws are not enforced in Nigeria is a start.people must know there place and people need to respect others.You can not be a citizen and decide to go out and foment trouble or incite madness.lack of justice is what matters.The religions are good in there own way.It is the humans observing it here in Nigeria.Both Christians and Muslims alike.I have being to some churches and heard the raw anti-Islamic messages going on.The hate is everywhere and if not reversed then forget anything called unity.While the religious leaders in public claim love,neutrality and concern.Down under its nepotism,hate,acrimony and conspiracy. Veiled in political exploit.That's why i challenge myself to seek knowledge in an open manner. that has helped me.If only channeled it through Nigerian religious leaders i doubt my chances of doing it right.I support a censor on religious bodies and leaders preregistration of all religious associations and groups.regardless.

^^Thanx

i placed that like because you made a point.
All we need is revival.only if we could change the way we reason.
until everybody realize that the crass is for you and i,we are going nowhere.
if other developed countries had this our selfish mindset,they wouldn't have achieved anything.
All of us,from A-Z have a great role to play in development and enlistment of Nigeria.

saintneo: I adore the comparison. However, I reject the idea of writing so much without putting forth a specific solution. It's easy complain about our negativities but solutions are very difficult.

Recently, the aviation minister embarked upon cleansing of her ministry. For many years we have heard about how our aviation has gone beyond deplorable conditions, the ministry was filled with incompetency. She sack unproductive staff and promoted productive ones; next thing we are hearing is ethnic recruitment. Even though I find it had to believe the ministry is now filled Igbo people, I think Nigerians should rise above medicority and embrace excellence.

taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Nigeria exports religion, India exports cars
BY AZUKA ONWUKA

The biggest country in Africa that the United Kingdom colonised is Nigeria. The biggest country that the United Kingdom colonised in Asia is India (which then comprised the present Pakistan and Bangladesh).

When the UK came into Nigeria and India, like all other countries they colonised, they brought along their technology, religion (Christianity), and culture: names, dressing, food, and language, among others. Try as hard as the British did, India rejected the British religion, names, dressing, food, and even language, but they did not reject the British technology. Today, 80.5 per cent of Indians are Hindus; 13.4 per cent Muslims; 2.3 per cent Christians; 1.9 per cent Sikhs; 0.8 per cent Buddhists, among others. Hindi is the official language of the government of India, but English is used extensively in business and administration and has the status of a “subsidiary official language.” Interestingly, it is rare to find an Indian with an English name or dressed in suit.

On the other hand, Nigeria embraced, to a large extent, the British religion, British culture – names, dressing, foods, and language – but, ironically, rejected the British technology. The difference between the Nigerian and the Indian experiences is that while India is proud of its heritage, Nigeria takes little pride in its own heritage, a situation that has affected the nationalism of Nigerians and our development as a nation.

Before the advent of Christianity, the Arabs had brought Islam into Nigeria through the North. Islam also wiped away much of the culture of Northern Nigeria. Today, the North has only Sharia courts but no Customary courts. So from the North to the South of Nigeria, the Western World and the Eastern World have shaped our lives to be like theirs and we have lost much or all of our identity.

Long after the Whites and Arabs left Nigeria, Nigeria has waxed strong in religion to the extent that Nigerians now set up branches of their home-grown churches in Europe, the Americas, Asia and other African countries. Just like the Whites brought the gospel to us, Nigerians now take the gospel back to the Whites. In Islam, we are also very vibrant to the extent that if there is a blasphemous comment against Islam in Denmark or the US, even if there is no violent reaction in Saudi Arabia, the Islamic headquarters of the world, there will be loss of lives and destruction of property in Nigeria. If the United Arab Emirates, a country with 75 per cent Muslims, is erecting the tallest building in the world and encouraging the world to come and invest in its territory by providing a friendly environment, Boko Haram ensures that the economy of the North (and by extension that of Nigeria) is crippled with bombs and bullets unless every Nigerian converts to Boko Haram’s brand of Islam. We are indeed a very religious people.

Meanwhile, as we are building the biggest churches and mosques, the Indians, South Africans, Chinese, Europeans and Americans have taken over our key markets: telecoms, satellite TV, multinationals, banking, oil and gas, automobile, aviation, and hospitality industries among others.

Ironically, despite our exploits in religion, we are a people with little godliness, a people without scruples. It is rare to do business with a Nigerian pastor, deacon, knight, elder, brother, sister, imam, mullah, mallam, alhaji or alhaja without the person laying landmines of bribes and deception on your path. We call it PR, facilitation fee, processing fee, transport money, financial engineering, deal, or whatever. But if it does not change hands, no show. And when it is amassed, we say it is “God’s blessings.” Some people assume that sleaze is a problem of public functionaries, but the private sector seems to be worse than the public sector these days.

One would have assumed that the more churches and mosques that spring up in every nook and cranny of Nigeria, the higher the morals in our society. But it is not so. The situation is that the more religious we get, the baser we become. Our land never knew the type of bloodshed experienced from religious extremists, political desperadoes, ritual killers, armed robbers, kidnappers, internet scammers, university cultists, and lynch mobs. Life has become so cheap and brutish that everyday seems to be a bonanza.

We import petrol even when we have crude oil in abundance. We also import rice and beans that our land can produce in abundance. We even import toothpicks that primary school children can produce with little or no effort. Yet, we drive the best of cars and live in the best of edifices, visit the best places in the world for holidays and use the most expensive electronic and telecoms gadgets. It is now a sign of poverty for a Nigerian to ride a saloon car. Four-wheel drive vehicles are the in thing. Even government officials, who were known to use only Peugeot products as official cars as a sign of modesty, have upgraded to Toyota Prado as official vehicle without any iota of shame, in a country where about 70 per cent live below poverty line. Private jets have become as common as cars. A nation that imports toothpicks and pins flaunts wealth and wallows in ostentation at a time its children are trooping to Ghana, South Africa and the UK for university education and its sick people are running to India for treatment.

India produces automobile and exports it to the world. India’s medical care is second to none, with even Americans and Europeans travelling to the country for medical treatment. India has joined the nuclear powers nations. India has launched a successful mission to the moon. Yet bicycles and tricycles are common sights in India. But in Nigeria, only the wretched of the earth ride bicycles.

I have intentionally chosen to compare Nigeria with India rather than China, South Korea, Brazil, Malaysia, or Singapore, because of the similarities between India and Nigeria. But these countries were not as promising as Nigeria at the time of our independence.

Some would say that our undoing is our size: the 2012 United Nations estimate puts Nigeria’s population at 166,000 million, while India has a population of 1.2 billion. Some would blame it on the multiplicity of ethnic groups: we have 250 ethnic groups, India has more than 2,000. Some would hang it on the diversity in religion: we have two major religions — Christianity and Islam; but India has many. Some would say it is because we are young as an independent nation: we have 52 years of independence; India has 65 years. Apartheid ended in South Africa only in 1994.

I am a Christian, and nothing can change me from Christianity. But I think that our country is daily sinking into religiosity to the detriment of godliness. Our land is sick and needs healing. “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” is still a saying that is germane to our current situation. We need more godliness than religion; more work and less of hope; and more action and less of words.

Let everyone tidy up his or her corner first and demand fervently that our leaders tidy their areas of governance. Our nation is degenerating at a fast pace and we need to save it now or it may be too late. via PUNCH

Another set of triplets delivered in Anambra flood camp

Another set of triplets was delivered on Friday at the Fr. Joseph High School Relief Camp for flood victims in Anambra State. Mrs. Josephine Ejimofor, who was delivered of the babies, is a native of Enugu-Otu Aguleri, in the Anambra East Local Government Area of the state. The first set of triplets was born in the same camp about two weeks ago.

Governor Peter Obi celebrated with the Ejimofors on the safe delivery of the new triplets when he visited them in the camp. “If you are looking for a child, maybe you will have to come to the camp,” the governor had joked during the visit.

Reiterating his commitment to the welfare of the people displaced by the floods that ravaged parts of Anambra recently, Obi promised to help rebuild their homes when the flood recedes.

The governor thanked President Goodluck Jonathan and the Millenium Development Goals Office in Abuja for their intervention and commitment to ameliorating the suffering of the displaced persons. He said that necessary commitments and other measures were in place to sustain prudent and transparent distribution of the relief materials, while soliciting for more interventions.
