The prosecutor, ASP A. C. Orji, told the court that Obiora met Nkiruka Akabuogu on Facebook and invited her to a club house in Apapa where they had drinks.

The prosecutor said the pair later moved to Obiora’s house at Block 10, Flat 317, 1004 Housing Estate, Victoria Island, Lagos. Orji said Obiora, who claimed to be an unemployed graduate of Igbinedion University Okada and the Centennial College, Ontario, Canada, shut all the doors in the apartment and demanded to have sex with Akabuogu. “This was after he had smoked some wraps of Indian hemp. He tried to rape her and threatened to kill her with a bottle of beer.

The girl, fearing for her life, then jumped down from the third floor of the high/rise building,” Orji said. The prosecutor said that the incident happened at about 3 am on October 31. “The girl was discovered to be lying unconscious in a pool of her own blood about 30 minutes later by the security men in the premises who then reported it to the police. “The police took the girl to a hospital and after she regained consciousness, obtained her statement,’’ Orji said.

 “This case highlights one of the major problems of the social media. The young lady went to visit someone she doesn’t know. She met the defendant on Facebook and they had been chatting until October 30,” he said. Orji said that the offences contravened Sections 56 (A), 260 and 404 (1) of the Criminal Laws of Lagos 2011.

 The magistrate, Mr Martins Owumi, granted the accused bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum. 21-year-old Nkiruka sustained multiple injuries, including a fractured pelvis, and is undergoing treatment at the General Hospital, Marina, Lagos, following the incident.

Dutch police bust Nigerian fake wedding scam

Dutch police have busted a wedding scam involving Dutch citizens being paid to go to Britain to marry illegal Nigerian immigrants so they can obtain residency there, prosecutors said Friday.

The gendarmerie, responsible for border security, “detained 16 women and seven men this week on the suspicion that they travelled to Britain to enter into fake marriages,” it said in a statement.

“They are almost all of Dutch Antillean origin and were flown to Britain to get married”, mainly to Nigerian men and women, it added.

Once married, the Nigerians would get legal residency in Britain and access to state welfare. In return, the Dutch collaborators would be paid 2500 euros ($3,100) to 3,500 euros. Members of the Dutch Caribbean community were used so they could be used as look-alikes for Nigerians’ real partners, who would be brought into Britain after the “wedding” to make the swap complete, prosecution service spokesman Wim de Bruin told AFP.

 Called Operation Dutch Conclusion, the two-year investigation involved Dutch and British law and border security agencies and continental policing agency Europol. Dutch popular daily De Telegraaf reported Friday that British law enforcement officers had made arrests at fake “weddings” with bride and groom on the verge of exchanging vows.

 “We have seen wedding dresses with the price tag still on them being used by three ‘brides’ in one day, swapping the dress just outside the church,” the paper quoted an officer only identified as Michel. Some 81 people have been arrested over the last two years, De Bruin said, mainly in Britain, of whom 66 have already been sentenced to between a few months and six years on human trafficking charges.

 Those arrested in the Netherlands also face human trafficking charges, the statement added.

Stepmother allegedly dips2year old daughter’s hand in a boiling water

Esther –the little girl you see with a bandage on is a step daughter to Kehinde, who neighbours think she is a bad stepmother that treats Esther unfairly compared to her own children. Neighbours say she constantly beats Esther& maltreats her so much so that they hear her crying every. It was no surprise when the neighbours pounced on her like angry mob, for dipping her little stepdaughter’s hands into hot boiling water as punishment.

But according  to Kehinde “It happened a few weeks ago.That morning, I noticed that Esther was looking very dull. So, I asked her to come to me and I gave her a potty for her to urinate into. I discovered that the urine was black, which showed that she was sick. So, I didn’t allow her to go to school. That day, I was also bleeding because I just had a miscarriage. After a while, I kept a bowl of very hot water that I wanted to use on myself beside our bed and rushed out to the kitchen.

Suddenly, I heard Esther’s piercing cry and I rushed back into the room only to see her struggling with the bowl of hot water. By the time I could rescue her, she already boiled her two hands. I thought she wanted to drink water because she was eating the rice that I cooked for her and my own children before I left the room. I quickly went to borrow N100 from a neighbour with which I bought some balm that I applied on the hands.

 I also gave her some drugs for her fever and she soon slept off. “When her father returned from work in the night and noticed what happened to her, he beat the hell out of me, in spite of my condition. It took the intervention of our landlord before he left me. Since then, Esther has been staying with me at home. She has not been going to school and I’ve been doing my best to treat her. “But a few days ago, I invited a nurse, who is also a neighbour to attend to me. As a result of the miscarriage, I have been feeling very weak and I have lost a lot of blood. The nurse came and I was lying on the bed. Esther was resting on a mattress close to the bed.

The nurse came to attend to me but when she saw Esther, she looked worried and asked what happened to her. When I explained, she asked why we didn’t take her to hospital yet and I said I didn’t have the money and that I was expecting that Esther’s father would do that. “The nurse promptly attended to me and hurriedly left after examining Esther’s boiled hands for two or three times.
