Health / Lagos Hospital Chains Woman To Urinal Pipe Over Unpaid Bills by SassySteph(f): 7:05pm On Sep 20, 2015
Samaria Hospital, a private medical facility in Lagos, has detained a woman for more than one month over the woman’s failure to pay her bills.



The hospital, which is based in the Ikotun Egbe area of Lagos, has detained Jessica Ugwuoke since August 12, 2015, after the woman and her relatives said they could not afford to pay the bill for her Caesarean section (CS).

Mrs. Ugwuoke was transferred from a maternity clinic to Samaria Hospital, which is located on Kudaki Road near Hostel bus stop in Egbe, Lagos State. The patient’s husband, Tochukwu Ugwuoke, was asked to pay N30,000 for blood transfusion into his wife, reported to have lost a lot of blood during labor. The couple’s birth died.

After the loss of her child, Mrs. Ugwuoke has been detained by the hospital for failure to pay the hospital’s bills, which came to N285,000. The detained patient told a correspondent of SaharaReporters that the couple was not informed of the cost of the Caesarean section until after the surgery.

According to her, one Dr. Clem ordered that she be denied a hospital bed and refused her further treatment after her surgery because she and her husband could not pay the amount of the bill.

“The day they discharged me from the bed, Dr. Clem asked me to tell my husband to bring his money even if he [my husband] has to steal,” the woman said. “I have been lying down on the passageway,” Mrs. Ugwuoke added.

SaharaReporters learned that the detained patient’s husband, who is currently unemployed, had pleaded with the hospital to release his wife, promising to seek a loan to pay her hospital expenses, but the hospital declined his request.

Mrs. Ugwuoke, who is chained to a urinal pipe to forestall her escape, described her treatment as dehumanizing. She pleaded with the Lagos State government and human rights organizations to intervene to ensure her release.

Celebrities / Who Knew 2face's Birthday Cake Actually Played His Songs? by SassySteph(f): 7:27pm On Sep 19, 2015
Yesterday 2Face Idibia turned 40 and the music star
kicked off his weekend long birthday celebrations at the
Red Cross Society in Yaba, Lagos, where he was joined
by Basketmouth, Sound Sultan, Bovi & MI Abaga.
While at the Red Cross 2Baba was surprised with a fab
cake by his wife, Annie Idibia.

Many were astonished at the massive cake Annie Idibia got
for her darling husband on his 40th birthday but they do not
know the features of the cake. Did you see the cake? Are you
aware that the speakers on the cake actually blast music?
But wait a minute, the only music coming from the speaker
are all 2face’s songs and this awed 2face that he knew no
other way to appreciate it other than to express his love for
her again.

Annie was impressed by her husband’s reaction that
she sent a shout-out to the cake designers Cakes by Tosan and
Yomi Black on her Instagram:
“God bless the creative mind that helped in creating such a
breath taking cake!!!! My husband was wowed!!!! This cake
has a speaker that actually works!!!! The cake plays almost
all of his songs…INCREDIBLE! !!!! God bless you guys
@yomiblack @cakesbytosan una toooooo muchhhhhhhhh.

Crime / REVEALED: How Boko Haram Sneaked Bombs Into Yola IDP Camp by SassySteph(f): 12:24pm On Sep 13, 2015
Fresh facts emerged yesterday, on how members of the
Jama’atu Ahliss-Sunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad (Western
education is evil) , otherwise known as Boko Haram, were
able to perpetrate Friday’s dastardly bombing that claimed
about 12 lives and injuring many more at the Internally
Displaced Persons, IDPs, camp in Malkohi, Yola, Adamawa
State.


In separate interviews, eye witnesses and returnees,
resident in the camp, said some Boko Haram members
masquerading as IDPs were inadvertently brought into the
camp on Thursday, some 24
hours before the camp bombing.
They revealed that some of the persons, brought into the
camp from Sambisa Forest, were the prime suspects in the
bombing.

One of the eye witnesses, Mr. Sunday Musa, told Sunday
Vanguard that camp inmates were preparing to have
breakfast when the blast occurred.
Musa explained that he and other inmates who had stayed
long enough in Malkohi camp, had not been comfortable
whenever new inmates were, brought in, confirming that
there was a protest in the camp, sometime in March, when
some IDPs were brought from Sambisa Forest.


“Our fears were that we in camp know one another; we
know where we came from; and for the military to just
bring unknown faces to join us, especially from Sambisa
Forest, has always been very disturbing to us”.
“Now”, he continued, “see what has happened. Unknown
IDPs were brought in yesterday and there is bomb blast
today. Who do you think is responsible?”
Sunday Vanguard discovered that the influx of IDPs, who
may not have been properly screened before being allowed
into the camp, was a possibility.


Another inmate, who preferred anonymity, disclosed that
the bombing was not carried out by the usual drive-by
instance or a suicide bomber who drove straight into the
camp. He added:
“From the way the bomb exploded and the very stern
nature of the work of the military here, it may have been
smuggled into the camp much earlier.”
NEMA Camp Coordinator in Adamawa State, Sa’ad Bello,
suspected that the blast might have originated from the over
300 IDPs brought into the camp that Thursday morning from
Madagali and 70 others from Sambisa Forest.
The coordinator confirmed that the number of dead might
be higher because of the seriousness of those injured.
Also at the scene of the blast, the North-East Coordinator of
the Red Cross Society, Mallam Aliyu Maikano, who
collaborated with his NEMA counterpart, described the
situation as unfortunate.


An eyewitness, Malama Nefisatu Goni, who escaped the
blast by the whiskers, narrated that she left the scene not
quite ten minutes before the incident. According to her,
women always gathered in tents to make their hair and she
just went there to try and make hers but was told to come
back because of the busy schedule of the operators and the
queue on standby.
“As I was moving from there”, Goni, a widow, narrated in
an emotion-laden voice, “not quite long afterwards, I heard
a loud bang only to see the debris of the tents flying
everywhere”.

Crime / He Was Imprisoned For 15 Years For A Crime He Did Not Commit(photo) by SassySteph(f): 12:04pm On Sep 13, 2015
A 40yr old man identified as Effiong Elemi-
Edu has narrated how he was imprisoned
for 15 years for the murder of politician,
Alfred Rewane, which it was later
discovered that he was not to involved in.
Narrating his ordeal to Aljazeera, Effiong
who is from Cross Rivers, said on October
6th 1995 in the Ikeja part of Lagos state, he
had gone out to buy suya for himself and
his wife when suddenly he heard gunshots.


According to him, he took cover and later
decided to run to his house. As he made
the move to run home, he was halted by an
order from a police officer.
“I stopped. There were police officers, lots
of them.”
They asked him where he was going and he
told them but instead of letting him go on
his way, the officers pushed him into their
vehicle and accused him of being an armed
robber.


“I didn’t understand what they meant
because I was not carrying any weapon on
me, just the money I was going to use to
buy suya. They took us, myself and one
other guy to SARS [Special Anti-Robbery
Squad] at Ikeja, where they kept me under
a tree. Later, they came and took me to the
‘theatre’. There, there were two drums filled
with sand. I was tied like a goat, two of my
hands at my back; they crossed an iron rod
at my back, and then hanged me” He said
he hung in that position for One hour, 20
minutes.


“They tried to force me to admit I was an
armed robber – they even shot me in the
leg. I have never robbed anyone in my life.
I was just a young man struggling to save
money to get admission into a higher
institution to further my education.”
Effiong who had a dream of becoming a
mass communicator had his hope dashed
because an influential politician Delta state,
Alfred Rewane, had been assassinated that
morning by unknown gunmen at his
residence in Ikeja GRA, a few hundred
metres from Effiong’s home.
Effiong was in the wrong place at the wrong
time
“They held me for days. There was no
phone at that time and there was no way
for me to get in touch with my family. It was
my wife who learned about it. I think the
people who saw me when I was taken away
told her. Then she travelled home to inform
my mother. They wanted me to copy a
statement they had written to say that I am
an armed robber and that I conspired with
the others in the murder of Rewane. I
refused. They beat me till my face was
covered with blood which was pouring from
my left ear. I didn’t want to die, so I
recopied the statement in my own
handwriting. The statement is what they
used in implicating us. As I was recopying
the statement, the only thing on my mind
was that I didn’t do anything and that my
God will let everyone know the truth. It was
later that one of the policemen came to tell
us that he was sorry, that it was an order
from above. Later, they charged eight of us
with the murder of the man. I don’t know
the man, never heard of him. Those that I
was charged with murder with, I had never
seen any of them in my life.”he said.
After being tortured and forced to admit
guilt, seven of the men were arraigned
before a high court, and sent to Kirikiri
prison to await trial. But when the men
arrived at the prison, prison officials
insisted that the police take them to
hospital to have their wounds treated.
Instead, they took them to a police station –
where four of the men subsequently died,
reportedly due to the injuries sustained
while being tortured by the police.
“The torture and suffering were too much,”
Effiong reflects.


Rewane’s killing was later linked to the
military junta of Nigeria’s then dictator, the
late Sani Abacha. But Effiong and two other
men – Elvis Irenuma and Lucky Igbinovia,
who had both worked for Rewane –
continued to languish in prison.
Then, after 15 years, more than 200
adjournments and the prosecution’s
inability to produce any evidence linking
the suspects to the crime, the trial judge
discharged the case and acquitted the
suspects, upholding a ‘no case submission’
made by the defence counsel.
“It appears to me that all the police did was
to visit the venue of the incident and arrest
the workers,” the judge declared in her
judgement.


So it was that, 15 years after they were
arrested, three of the seven arraigned men
– Effiong Elemi-Edu, Lucky Igbinovia and
Elvis Irenuma – walked out of prison.
But gone was the fit 25-year-old who was
picked up that night. In his place was a
balding 40-year-old man who walks with a
limp, a constant reminder of the torture he
endured.
“I spoke with Lucky recently, he’s in
Switzerland now,” Effiong says. “I don’t
know what he is doing there. We speak but
not regularly. [And] I saw Elvis in June this
year. I am supposed to call him, only I don’t
have enough units in my phone.”
As for Effiong, things are not going
according to plan.
“I’ve been facing a lot of challenges,
accommodation-wise, money-wise. I need
to get my own place. Right now I’m
squatting with my brother and his wife in a
one-room apartment. That’s why I’m
praying to God to help me get a place of my
own. “When we were over there [in prison]
… at times these churches [would] … come
over to visit. Immediately [when] you …
come out and say you want to go to church
and give a testimony, they will look at you
and say ‘Where is this guy going?’ Once,
somebody came out [and] they
accommodated him. [But] … the guy packed
everything away [stole from them]. So they
[the churches] stopped helping other
people.”


Early on in his imprisonment, his wife
would visit him. But the visits stopped
without warning, and when Effiong was
released, he heard that she had remarried.
He had no idea where to begin looking for
her.
Two years later, Effiong also remarried. His
new wife, Juliet, lives in Cross River, where
Effiong is originally from.
“My daughter is one year and four months
now. I’m yet to set my eyes on [her]. Her
name is Rose. They sent her picture to me.
[But] I haven’t travelled home to Cross
River since 2013 because financially I’m not
okay. I’m so down. If I see money now, I
will travel home today, today, today. I can’t
tell you a lie, life has not been easy. What
will I do? It’s only by the special grace of
God that one is surviving and living. Things
are really so tough in the sense that I just
leave everything to God. These days I watch
football. Then listen to gospel songs. If I’m
alone, I just go through my Bible. They
wasted my time. They wasted the talent that
God gave to me. At times it pains me, when
I look at the way things are going. I know
the level my friends are at now. Is it not my
classmate in secondary school that is a
commissioner in Cross River? The other one
is working in Central Bank. The other one is
a lawyer in Port Harcourt. But I don’t dwell
on those things. If I do, one day I’ll just be
struck down by a stroke. So I have to put all
those things behind me [and] let the will of
God be done.” he said
