Another Catholic Priest identified as Rev Fr Emmanuel Silas was abducted in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State early hours of Monday.

Fr Silas, who is in charge of St. Charles Catholic Church, Zambina in Kauru LGA, was reported missing after he failed to appear for morning mass.

The Chancellor, Kafanchan Catholic Diocese, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Okolo disclosed the sad news in a statement on Monday.

He, however, urged the christian community to remain calm as legitimate processes are being exploited to ensure his safe and quick release.

Fr Okolo was quoted to have said in the statement: “It is with great pain that we announce to you the kidnapping of our Priest, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Silas. The sad event is believed to have occurred in the early hours of July 04, 2022, when he could not turn up for morning Mass.

“He was abducted from the parish rectory at St. Charles Catholic Church, Zambina, in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

“While we solicit for an intense prayer for his quick and safe release, we equally wish to call on all and sundry to refrain from taking the laws into their hands. We will use every legitimate means to ensure his quick and safe release.”

Lately bandits have been unleashing mayhem on christians in the state, mostly targeting catholic priests.

Barely two weeks ago, Reverend Father Vitus Borogo was killed and his brother abducted by bandits while working on his farm. He was laid to rest last week in the state capital.

Other Catholic priests were also kidnapped in Katsina, Edo among other states between last month and now, amidst rising spate of attacks on Christian community by the hoodlums in recent times.

‘Money Rituals’: Ogun Lady ‘Used By Yahoo Boy’ Strips Off, Barks Like Dog

In a manner suggestive of mental instability, a young lady stripped off her clothes and barked like a dog in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on Friday.

The victim is said to be a victim of money rituals having been “used” by a suspected internet fraudster popularly known as “Yahoo boy.”

A viral video clip in Ogun State, showed the lady behind bars, naked and barking nonstop, like a dog.

The Spokesman of the Ogun Police Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, on Friday confirmed the incident in Abeokuta.

He said “The young lady in question was alleged to have been spiritually and diabolically used by a suspected yahoo boy, as a result of which she started barking like a dog.”

Oyeyemi explained that the victim, who was taken to police naked, became “very difficult to control because she was acting violently, hence she was kept in the cell.”

He said police had immediately contacted her her parents, saying she was taken to the hospital with the help of the police.

He disclosed that the alleged “Yahoo boy” has been arrested for interrogation.”

He was silent on the suspect’s name, adding that the case had been transferred to the State CIID on the order of the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole.

However, Oyeyemi said the command was surprised and embarrassed to see the video of the victim circulating on social media.

The Police Spokesman said the CP had ordered a full scale investigation to unravel the source of the video and how it became a subject of social media discussion.

“The height of the embarrassment was the fact that the said video was recorded while the victim, who was then naked and uncontrollable, was in police cell.”

“In view of this, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole has ordered a full scale investigation to unravel the source of the video and how it became a subject of social media discussion.

“It is barbaric, uncivilized and despicable circulating such video on social media as such will in no small measure denigrate the human dignity of the victim which might be another source of psychological trauma for her.

“The Command has therefore vowed to deal with whoever found to be the source of the video and those behind its circulation on social media in the most decisive manner notwithstanding the status of the person,” Oyeyemi said on Friday.

A Housewife has been arrested for hiring a man to assassinate her husband in Yola.

The woman, Hauwa Audu, a resident of Michika local government area, hired the services of one Kwaji Tizhe, for N100, 000, to kill her husband, James Tizhe, and made an initial deposit of N7,000.

Mrs. Audu currently in prison custody in Yola, for alleged attempted murder was arraigned before the Chief Magistrate Court I, for “ attempt to commit culpable homicide,” Leadership reported.

According to the prosecutor, ASP Francis Audu, the defendant hatched a plot to eliminate her husband, James Tizhe and two others that include Maryamu Bugi and Bugi Walla.

The prosecutor intimated the court that the defendant, gave a cash deposit of N7, 000, to the assassin out of the sum of N100, 000, she had promised to pay after killing those she had penciled down. The hired killer collected the cash deposit on June 3, 2022, and reported himself to the police.

It was gathered that Hauwa paid the money to Kwaji, to consult a native doctor on her behalf to inflict paralysis on her husband, but not to kill him.

She reportedly confessed that she took the action because of the husband’s failure to treat her as his wife and properly take care of her. The husband was alleged not to share the same bed with her for the past nine years.

The defendant was said to have accused Maryamu Bugi and Bugi Walla of murdering her daughter-in-law through witchcraft as a result of which she decided to take a revenge.

Upon her arraignment in court, the defendant denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty. It was after she entered her plea that the prosecution applied for an adjournment to enable him to duplicate the case file and send the same to DPP for vetting considering the nature of the alleged offence.

In his ruling, Chief Magistrate Mohammed Buba, ordered the remand of the defendant and subsequently adjourned the matter to July 14, 2022.

why are you always bringing up bad news everyday just to distract us from focusing on the issue on ground

To get rid of these miscreants.

Peter Obi is the answer.

Gunmen suspected to be bandits, on Saturday, in Sokoto, reportedly killed 11 farmers in the Ghandi district of Rabah Local Government Area of the state.

A source, who disclosed this, said the attackers stormed the community around 12 noon, shooting sporadically, to scare people and later killed farmers working on their farms.

Confirming the killing on Saturday, the Secretary to the District Head of Ghandi, Tukur Muhammad said they met them on their farmlands and killed them for no reason.

He said the bandits attempted to abduct other farmers but vigilantes foiled their plans.

He said that eight of the farmers were killed at Kuryar village while three were killed in their neighbourhood.

“They don’t want us to work on our farm. They attack our farmers on daily basis. They also asked other villages to pay a levy before they can cultivate their farms and this is the only means of livelihood in our area,” he said.

DSP Sanusi Abubakar, Spokesman of the Sokoto State Police Command, when contacted, said he was in transit but he would find out and call back.
