My Wife Came Home Without Pant, Ex-Edo Commissioner Tells Court

Husband of a former Commissioner in Edo state, David Erhabor has told Benin High Court 9, that his wife of 15 years once came home without a pant on her.
Erhabor was testifying in a divorce suit instituted by his wife, Florence Igbinigie-Erhabor, a former Commissioner for Women Affairs, under former governor Lucky Igbinedion.
In the suit before Justice Anthony Erhabor, the respondent, (David Erhabor) told the court he never envisaged a broken home in his life.
He said, however, that trouble started after his wife was appointed commissioner by former governor Lucky Igbinedion, when she suddenly resorted to keeping late nights.
He added that there was a time the wife abandoned their two children, absconded from home for three days, only to be caught red handed inside a vehicle, romancing and kissing a man who had earlier tear-gassed him.
“There was a day she came back home drunk and without a pant on her. She was in the habit of keeping late night,” Mr. Erhabor told the court.
He further disclosed that it took the intervention of a former Managing Director of Delta State Oil Producing Community Development Commission (DESOPADEC), Wellington Okrika, to resolve some of their numerous squabbles.
Erhabor equally said his wife had at a time demanded for N1 million from him before she could allowed him have sex with her, saying that he ran out from home wearing only pant when he sensed that his wife was about to kill him via hired assassins.
On the position of the petitioner seeking divorcé and the issue of the custody of the children, the respondent opined that the children can always stay with whomever they choose when on holidays.
The petitioner, Mrs. Igbinigie-Erhabor, amongst others is asking the court to grant her devoice on the grounds of threat to life, violent assault and infidelity on the part of her husband, Mr. David Irabor, also a former Senior Special Adviser to governor Oserhiemen Osunbor.
The former commissioner who has since 2009 separated from her husband arising from irreconcilable differences, equally demanded that the husband paid her the sum of N150,000 monthly for the upkeep of each for the two children and to pay their school fees.
While under-cross examination by the respondent’s counsel, Akakhomen Austine, the petitioner said besides the embarrassment the rampant violent attacks caused her while serving as commissioner, the husband had also at a time squeezed the children inside a vehicle and threatened to set them ablaze, adding that it took the prompt intervention of members of both families before there was peace.
She said ever since then she took sole responsibility of paying the children’s school fees who currently live with her in her family house.
She said she relocated to her family house when she suspected that her husband was after her life following the invasion of her private residence by robbers on two occasions.
She also accused the husband of having extra-marital affairs with the house maids.
Justice Erhabor adjourned the case till 4 August, 2012 for further hearing.

2 Brothers to die for stealing N39,040

The Benue Chief Judge, Justice Iorhemen Hwande, on Wednesday in Makurdi sentenced two brothers, Ibrahim Yau and Abubakar Yau to death by hanging for armed robbery.
The two brothers were arraigned for criminal conspiracy and armed robbery.
They were said to have conspired to rob one Simon Tartyough and Isaiah Kena of valuable property.
The property, stolen at gun point, were said to have included cell phones and money to the tune of N39,040 on Makurdi-Guma Road, sometime in March, 2010.
The offences are in contravention of Sections 6(b) and 1(2) and (b) of the Robbery and Firearms Act.
The convicts, however, denied the allegation, testifying for themselves and calling only one witness during the trial.
In his judgement, Hwande said that from the evidence before the court, the prosecution had proved its case beyond all reasonable doubt that the convicts actually committed the offences.
The judge also said that their victims identified them.
After listening to the pleas for mercy on behalf of the convicts by their counsel, Mr R.B. Ayula, the Chief Judge said that though the convicts had no evidence of previous conviction, his hands were tied.
“The provisions of the law is that a convict of armed robbery has no option than a death sentence under the section 1(2) and (b) of the Robbery Act,” he explained.
Hwande said that it was only the legislature that could amend the present law and reduce the sentence to jail terms.

Is It a Dead End for the Farouk Lawan vs Femi Otedola Bribery Scandal?

With the embattled Chairman of the House of Representatives ad hoc committee on fuel subsidy, Mr. Farouk Lawan’s insistence that he gave the alleged bribe money to the Chairman, Committee on Narcotics and Anti-corruption, Adams Jagaba, Police investigators are now in a dilemma over the whereabouts of the $620,000 bribe.
After Mr. Lawan confessed to receiving the bribe money from the Chairman of Zenon Oil and Gas, Mr. Femi Otedola, he said he gave the money to Mr. Jagaba who denied ever receiving the money in an official statement.
Now, it seems that the Special Task Force is not making much progress in the investigation because of its inability to know the whereabouts of the money.
The Police probe into the matter is compounded by the refusal of the State Security Service to provide the Special Task Force with the original copy of the video recording of what transpired between Lawan and Otedola.
Meanwhile, Jagaba and members of the committee on fuel subsidy have shunned police invitation. They were expected to appear before the STF on Wednesday, but only Lawan and the clerk of the ad hoc committee, Boniface Emenalo, turned up.
However, Jagaba wrote the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, saying he did not collect any money from Lawan.
Sources said the STF is now confused about the next step to take, following the ‘dribbling‘ by Lawan and the refusal of other committee members and Jagaba to honour police invitation.
Other committee members that were invited had yet to appear before the police too.
“Investigators are confused and didn’t know what to do because Lawan kept dribbling them about the whereabouts of the money and it seems the STF is intimidated by the caliber of people involved in the matter.
“I think the fact that the Inspector-General of Police, is in acting capacity is an issue and that may be why the police are afraid to go tough with the lawmakers.
“The fact that the SSS has not been cooperating with us by releasing materials in its possession is not helping the matter. This investigation is heading for the rock,” the source said.
When the news of this bribery scandal first broke out, a lot of people said it would end up just this way – at a dead end. Although investigations are still ongoing, considering the recent turn of events, many have lost faith that justice would prevail in this case.

Prezzo breaks up with Goldie

Since their love affair began officially on Saturday, May 12, 2012, the housemates have managed to remain a ‘couple’ despite their frequent fights.
However, it seems as though Kenyan rapper, Prezzo, is now finally done with his Nigerian ‘lover’, Goldie.
He confided in his friend, Keitta, yesterday, Wednesday, June 27, 2012 about how tired he is with his relationship with the singer.
In his words, ‘I’m not even eating the food she cooks from now on. I can make eggs. I am done. Watch this space. It’s time to bring the old Prezzo back…This chick is a weirdo and I found myself caught up in the mix.’
Even when Biggie played Goldie’s song, Prezzo complained, asking Biggie to change the song and play ‘real music’.
Fans and viewers of the show have since attributed Prezzo’s outburst to the argument he had with Goldie earlier in the week, after which a sad Goldie started speaking to herself.
One thing  though: Goldie is yet to be informed of the break-up as Prezzo only confided in Keitta.

Arsenal FC vs Super Eagles of Nigeria: Which Side Are You On?

Are there any football enthusiasts here? I certainly hope so because I would like us to try something different.
Let’s predict who would win the match between Arsenal Football Club of England and the Super Eagles of Nigeria!
On Sunday, August 5th 2012, the two teams would take each other on in an exciting football match in Abuja, Nigeria.
Arsenal, which came third in the English premiership last season, will be in Nigeria as part of their pre-season preparation. The match will be the first time Arsenal will play against the Super Eagles who are currently ranked 60th in the FIFA rankings.
DanJan Sports, the promoters of the game, say they have an agreement with the Nigeria Football Federation that the Nigerian team would field a strong side for the match.
“The NFF have agreed that the country will present a strong side, as Coach Stephen Keshi continues his development process,” said David Omigie, who spoke for Dan Jan Sports.
“The Arsenal manager (Arsene Wenger) will also use this game to showcase his full squad for the 2012/2013 football season,” Mr. Omigie said.
Arsenal traditionally hosts an annual pre-season tournament at the Emirates Stadium, called the Emirates cup, but they opted to postpone the event this year because of the 2012 London Olympics.
The London club would visit Malaysia and China as part of their pre-season preparation in July before coming to Nigeria. Tickets for the match will go on sale from July 4.
So, what do you think? Arsenal FC vs Super Eagles, who stands a better chance of winning the match? Do you wish to predict the scores?
Again I ask, are there any football enthusiasts here? Maybe someone could give us a pre-match analysis of what to expect.
Let’s know what you think.
