"The man I’m married to is my potential murderer" – Startling accusation from a caterer against her husband

A Nigerian caterer caused a stir among her friends by publicly accusing her husband, Gbadebo, of subjecting her to domestic violence.   Oluwabusayo Reuben took to Facebook to write the following:   I think it's high time the whole world knows this just in case I pass away, so ya'll can identify my murderer. It's the man I'm married to. He's violent and he abuses me, beats me up over the smallest provocations. I'm done with this marriage, the whole world needs to know this!!!!! Tonight, as I came out of the bathroom, he hit my head on the wall, punched my face, my neck, almost broke my neck, all because I didn't give him money. Everyone is aware, both families are aware, the whole world needs to know this, I can't take this anymore.     She added: "This is the las...

Death of Renowned Rwandan Gospel Singer and Critic of President in Police Custody

The death of a gospel singer who was convicted in 2015 for allegedly planning to assassinate Rwanda President Paul Kagame has been confirmed by authorities. Kizito Mihigo, 38, known for his strong religious beliefs, was found dead in police custody, with the police stating that he had committed suicide.   Mihigo was arrested and later sentenced in 2015 for various charges, including attempts to overthrow the government and forming alliances to destabilize the country. Despite being granted a presidential pardon in 2018, he was rearrested last week for purportedly violating the terms of his release by attempting to leave the country without permission and offering bribes to Rwandans who noticed his border-crossing attempts.   In a statement, police spokesperson John Bosco Kabera disc...

The message of hope from Manchester City FC chief executive Ferran Soriano in the face of UEFA’s two-year Champions League ban

  Manchester City's chief executive, Ferran Soriano, has responded to the club's two-year UEFA Champions League ban by delivering a rallying cry to all the staff associated with the club, both on and off the field. The UEFA decision, announced on Friday, imposed a two-year ban on Manchester City from the Champions League, in addition to a £25 million fine, due to violations of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations by inflating income and sponsorship figures. (Read the full story HERE if you missed it)                                         The consequences of the ban could potentially lead to a departure of key figures such as Raheem Sterling, Pep Guardiola, and Bernardo Silva this summer, as the club adjusts to operate within a reduced budget that aligns with their income, as pe...

INEC responds to restraining order against de-registering parties, stating courts don’t grant injunctions to stop an act which has already been done

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has ridiculed the court injunction that restrained it from de-registering 31 political parties. Justice Anwuli Chikere, who issued the injunction, ruled that INEC failed to oppose the application by the affected political parties and their legal rights must be protected. INEC's Director Voter Education Publicity (VEP), Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, commented on the development, stating that the issuance of the injunction is comparable to resurrecting the dead, as courts do not grant injunctions to stop an act that has already been done. He also added that the commission is yet to be served the court injunction. Uzzi mentioned, "Courts don’t grant injunctions to stop an act which has already been done. Perhaps, ...
