Car Talk / Man Arrested For Defiling Seven-year-old Girl In Anambra by weyreypey: 4:44pm On Aug 29 |
A 30-year-old man identified as Chinonso Nwaebonyi, has been arrested by security operatives for allegedly defiling a seven-year-old girl in Awka, Anambra State capital. Nwaebonyi, a native of the Izzi community in Ebonyi State was apprehended after the mother of the seven-year-old reported the incident to the Anambra State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare in Awka. This was disclosed in a statement on Thursday, issued by Chidimma Ikeanyionwu, the media aide to the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo. Ikeanyionwu said the suspect on interrogation by security operatives, had earlier denied the allegation, but later confessed to committing the said crime but “only once”. The statement read in part, “According to the seven-year-old, she, with her twin brother usually go to the compound after theirs to play since the holiday started. It was at the place that the suspect started defiling her. “She stated that the suspect has had carnal knowledge of her for about five times which was always on Mondays and Tuesdays. On how the mother got to know of the incident, the seven-year-old’s mother of the survivor said, she got to know one of the days she came back from work to bath her kids and discovered that her daughter’s private region was swollen On inquiry, she was briefed on what had been going on and she quickly went to the next compound to complain to the guardians of the suspect after which she took her daughter to a pharmacy before coming to the ministry. “Meanwhile, the suspect, who had earlier denied the allegation, later confessed to committing the said crime but only once.” On interrogation, the suspect said he never forced the girl, but only asked her to raise her clothes and lie down on the ground. It was gathered that the seven-year-old survivor and her twin brother were born to her parents after 10 years of childlessness. As of the time of this report, the suspect has been handed over to the police where he will be interrogated and charged to court. Recalled that in 2015, the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act, which outlawed all forms of violence against women and girls, including rape, defilement, female circumcision, and forceful ejection was enacted and offenders, on conviction, face life imprisonment or a maximum of 14-year jail term, depending on the age of the offender and type of violence committed. Several persons have been arrested in Anambra on offences ranging from rape and defilement and many cases are at various courts waiting for prosecution.

Foreign Affairs / In Eastern Ukraine, Terrifying Bombardment And Near Total Destruction by weyreypey: 1:13pm On Aug 28 |
In Eastern Ukraine, Terrifying Bombardment and Near Total Destruction Powerful guided “glide bombs” have helped Russia raze entire towns with ever greater speed. “When you drive into a ruined town, it’s like hopelessness,” one soldier said. In the darkness of the cellar in the eastern Ukrainian town of Toretsk, the soldiers did not know how close the Russian glide bombs were landing. But the sudden change in air pressure that accompanied bone-rattling booms testified to the bombs’ destructive force as they tore into nearby buildings. At dawn, during a lull in the attacks, several Ukrainian soldiers dashed out and saw a fire triggered by one of the bombs still raging through the ruins of a building about 150 yards away — the narrow margin between life and death. There are many ways to kill and be killed in Russia’s war with Ukraine, but Ukrainian soldiers say that glide bombs are perhaps the most terrifying. They are free-fall bombs, many left over from the Soviet era, but now outfitted with pop-out wings that feature satellite navigation, turning them into guided munitions. Referred to alternatively as “KABs” or “FABs,” they weigh between 500 and 6,000 pounds and are packed with hundreds of pounds explosives. A single blast can reduce a high-rise apartment building to rubble and obliterate even concrete fortifications. “It is scary and very fast,” said Stanislav, a 28 year-old Junior Sergeant with Ukraine’s 32nd Mechanized Brigade, as Russian fighter jets unleashed the powerful guided bombs in the direction of his unit. “I just pray every time.” In recent months, Russia has used the bombs to devastating effect, tilting the balance of fighting in eastern Ukraine in Moscow’s favor and allowing Russia to continue to make steady gains in Donetsk region. The bombs have also allowed Russian forces to raze whole towns and villages with ever greater speed. In the midst of the midsummer fighting around Toretsk, journalists from The New York Times were allowed to visit the town one night to witness the challenges facing Ukrainian forces as they try and hold positions under withering bombardments. “The same thing every day,” said Jackson, a 29 year-old Junior Sergeant who commands a drone platoon for the 32nd. “We arrive at a position, they launch KABs, we hide, block our ears and open our mouths so as not to get a concussion,” he said. Like Stanislav and others interviewed, he provided only his first name according to military protocol. With Ukrainian forces almost completely pushed out of the small town of Niu-York a few miles to the south, the battle for Toretsk, a former mining town, is now underway. Along with the Russian advance in the direction of Pokrovsk, a critical Ukrainian logistics center about 40 miles to the southeast, the enemy’s push into Toretsk is threatening to undermine the defense of the Donetsk region. Ukrainian soldiers fighting in the hottest areas of the front say they are largely outgunned and outmanned. And Russia’s continuing ability to unleash unrelenting aerial bombardments, they said, continues to play a critical role in forcing them from even some of their most heavily fortified positions. Finding a way to counter the threat remains a top military and diplomatic priority even as Kyiv engages in a bold gambit to flip the momentum of the war by mounting a cross-border incursion into the Kursk region of Russia. Kyiv is hoping that the offensive will force Moscow to deploy more forces to defend that region, and thus ease the pressure along the eastern front by drawing in some of Russia’s better fighting forces. So far, however, the Kremlin appears to be intent on maintaining its own offensive operations in eastern Ukraine and is pounding away at towns like Toretsk as relentlessly as ever. It is a punch and counterpunch strategy for both armies — battered by years of brutal fighting, with each side wagering that their opponent will find themselves overstretched and newly vulnerable. Ukraine has been developing its own long-range strike capabilities and is increasingly using domestically produced missiles and drones to target the airfields in Russia where the warplanes begin their bombing runs. But Russian warplanes still managed to launch some 750 glide bombs in a single week in August, Mr. Zelensky said. Even Ukrainian soldiers accustomed to years of artillery bombardments shudder at the destructive power of the weapons. A 152-millimeter artillery shell — which Russia fires by the thousands every day — contains a bit more than 13 pounds of explosive material. A commonly deployed glide bomb, the FAB-1500, is packed with more than 1,300 pounds of explosives. Since the bombs do not use propulsion or give off a detectable heat signature, they are hard to spot. They can be launched from Russian warplanes dozens of miles behind the front lines, relatively safe from Ukrainian air defenses. When Russian planes fly closer the front, soldiers said, they are protected by Russian surveillance and attack drones that saturate the skies, searching for Ukrainian soldiers armed with portable antiaircraft missile systems. “To shoot down a plane, you need to keep it in the sights for eight seconds and only then release the missile,” said Petro, 38, a Senior Sergeant of the 2nd Battalion of the 24th Mechanized Brigade. He previously fought around Toretsk and is now defending the nearby stronghold of Chasiv Yar. Eight seconds in the open, he said, is an eternity. A Ukrainian defender can see the Russian jet streaking through the sky, he said, without being able to do anything to stop it because of the threat posed by the drones. The best way to slow the pace of the attacks, Ukrainian officials have argued, is to hit the aircraft used to deliver the weapons, either on the ground or in the air. Sgt. Jackson recalled the first time a glide bomb exploded near his position. “I had such a feeling in my body that it was as if the wind swept through me at a very high speed, through each of my organs,” he said. “The feeling is very frightening.” He sat on a battered cot in a basement bunker in the faint glow of video monitors, less than a mile from the Russians. Outside, the charred and twisted metal skeletons of at least four vehicles littered the roadside out of the city, reminders that any movement can be deadly. Before they were destroyed, they had been used by volunteers to help civilians flee; now it is too dangerous for organized evacuations, city officials said. It is not clear how many civilians remain in Toretsk, but by the end of July there were believed to be fewer than 3,500, Vasyl Chynchyk, the head of Toretsk military administration, said in an interview. More than 60,000 have been forced to flee the area and those who remain live mostly subterranean lives. “There is not one building which has not been damaged or destroyed,” Mr. Chynchyk said. The police department, the local administration building and the fire station have all been destroyed and the Ukrainian military works in the ruins. While the list of places obliterated by Russian forces continues to grow, experiencing the annihilation of a city in real time remains deeply shocking even for the soldiers who have witnessed countless scenes of desolation and destruction. “When you drive into a ruined town, it’s like hopelessness,” Stanislav said. “This town is crying.” A few hours after he spoke, his unit’s basement bunker was destroyed by Russian artillery. Fortunately, the soldiers said, they all escaped with only minor injuries and were setting up elsewhere to continue the fight. Source NewYorkTimes
