Sad! 15-year-old boy commits suicide in Ghana because his parents couldn't afford to enroll him in high school

A 15-year-old Junior High School graduate in Ghana identified as 'Isaac Arhin' has committed suicide after his parents took the decision to send him to learn a vocational skill because they can’t afford to enroll him in Senior High School.   It was reported that Isaac Arhin, popularly called Yaw, committed suicide by hanging himself with a rope in his room at Gomoa Asafo in the Agona East District. Narrating the story to Bryt FM, sister of Arhin revealed her late brother had an aggregate 20 in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and gained admission at Kwahu Tafo in the Eastern Region. His auntie however informed him that she is not financially stable to enroll him in SHS so he should learn a skill. That is what triggered the depression leading to his unfortunate death.“Yaw told me he got aggregate 20 and that, he has gotten a school at Kwahu Tafo but his aunt wanted him to learn a skill instead of continuing his education because she is not financially sound to support his education.  “I told him, his mother had gone to Volta and that, he should exercise patience for her to return so we could deal with the issue, as I am also not in a position to support his education due to my poor health condition.“He left the house about 6 am in the morning without informing me, so I called to find out where he has been after complaining earlier of being hungry. He told me he had gone to my aunt’s place at Nsuaem.“Unfortunately, I returned home to find out that he had locked the door to our room so I called him severally without any response. I then decided to look through the window with the help of a neighbour and unfortunately, I saw him hanged to death with a rope” she told the reporter.According to Ghpage.com, the police has launched an investigation into his death.The post Sad! 15-year-old boycommits suicide in Ghana because his parents couldn'tafford to enroll him in high school appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Again, Omoyele Sowore seeks bail in fresh court application

Omoyele Sowore, Convener of #RevolutionNow protest, who is being held by the Department of State Services, has asked for bail in liberal terms in a fresh application filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja. Sowore filed the fresh application on Friday, September 13th after his failed bid to have the court hear his earlier one challenging the detention order issued against him by Justice Taiwo Taiwo on July 8, 2019.The affidavit he filed in support of the application stated in part, “That the applicant (Sowore) herein has never been charged with any criminal offence whatsoever. That the Nigeria police also conducted investigation on the matter and made its findings public.  “That the persons who participated in the protests of August 5, 2019, were charged with the offence of unlawful assembly at the Magistrates’ Court in Ebute Meta, Lagos State, Osogbo in Osun State and Calabar(Cross River).That on August 9, 2019, the applicant filed an application to set aside, discharge and/or vacate the said ex parte order permitting his detention for 45 days.”The security agency had accused Sowore, the SaharaReporters publisher and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the last February 2019 poll, of planning to topple the President Muhammadu Buhari government, through the protest.   Sowore denied the coup allegations insisting that he only mobilised Nigerians to protest against bad governance and other vices. Following an ex parte application by the DSS, Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the same Abuja division of the Federal High Court, on August 8, issued a detention order permitting the security agency to hold the activist for 45 days to enable it to conclude investigations.   On August 9, 2018, Sowore, through his lead counsel, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), filed a motion challenging the detention order. But the efforts of his team of lawyers to make the court to hear the application which was filed over a month ago, have yet to yield any result.  In his fresh application which he filed on Friday, Sowore’s lawyers argued that the DSS had completed its investigations, adding that by Section 28 (4) of the Terrorism Prevention (Amendment) Act, 2013 “a person detained pursuant to Section 27 (1) can be admitted to bail by this honourable court.” One of his lawyers, Marshal Abubakar, who deposed to the affidavit filed in support of the application, prayed the court grant bail to Sowore in liberal terms. He added that the activist had responsible persons who could stand as sureties for him.  The supporting affidavit read in part,“That no criminal charge whatsoever has been brought against the applicant herein. That the applicant undertakes not to interfere with the investigation of this case or make contacts with the witnesses of the respondent.”The post Again, OmoyeleSowore seeks bail in fresh court application appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Suspected yahoo boy kills his aunt with hunchback for ritual

The Ebonyi State Police Command has arrested a suspected internet fraudster, Eric Ifeanyi Okoro for killing his hunched aunt, Benisa Okoro.  The suspect nicknamed 'yahoo boy' by residents of Umuka in Okposi community of Ebonyi State reportedly returned late at night, ate the food his aunt kept for him before stabbing her several times on the chest till she died in the pool of her blood. It was learnt that the driver from Okposi General Hospital morgue he contacted to convey the corpse of his aunt to their facility, refused to carry out his wish after seeing that the corpse had a thick clot of blood. Eric was arrested after the driver raised an alarm, alerting other residents of the community. Eyewitnesses said he did not deny the murder but confessed to it and also boasted that his father he reportedly tried killing in Owo, Ondo state is his next target.  “We, the chieftains of Umuka community have reached a decisive conclusion that should the police fail in their duty of bringing the self-confessed murderer to book, Eric can never return to this community to live and co-exist with us; the Umuka Ogwumaeze people any longer. He had been a security risk to the lives and peaceful coexistence of the people of this community since he reportedly attacked his father and attempted to kill him in Owo, Ondo State,” the community leader, Mr Sunday Okorie Agwu said.  Also confirming the incident, the President of Umuka Youth Association (UYA), Nwanneka Ngada Okorie said the arrested suspected internet fraudster has been consumed by his inordinate ambition and always wants things done his own way.  “He has been consumed by his inordinate ambition to always have things done in his own way irrespective of whosoever his actions might affect.Ifeanyi is a ‘Yahoo boy’, his father would have been his first victim, when he wanted to kill him the previous year and that was why he was brought home February last year to live with his very lovely and caring aunt; Benisa, whom he has stabbed to death. This is what you get with always wanting things come easy without working for it”. The Police Public Relations Officer of Ebonyi State command, Loveth Odah said the matter is being investigated and the suspect will soon be charged to court after investigation has been concluded. The post Suspected yahoo boy kills his aunt with hunchback for ritual appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Governor Ganduje explains why he's yet to constitute his cabinet four months after his re-election

Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has given reasons for not constituting his cabinet, almost four months after he was sworn in for a second-term. He however said the announcement is imminent.   In a foreign radio interview conducted in Hausa, Ganduje said the process of nominating Commissioners in his second term has taken a lot longer time, due to the emergence of different forces that supported him during the 2019 election.“Some of my former commissioners will be re-nominated while others will not. However, those that are not returning, as commissioners will still be accommodated in the government.” he said. In 2015, Ganduje ran for election as a candidate of the Kwankwasiyya group within the APC. It was therefore easy for the group to agree on their nominees for commissioners even before Ganduje took the oath of office. However in 2019, running as the head of his own Gandujiyya faction, Ganduje needed the support of other political blocs in order to defeat the Kwankwasiyya candidate after the group decamped to the opposition PDP. Among the politicians who supported him were former governor, now Senator Ibrahim Shekarau and former deputy governor, Prof Hafiz Abubakar.The post Governor Ganduje explains why he's yet to constitutehis cabinet four months after his re-election appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
