The Cross River State Police Command has arrested a 22-year-old security guard, Bright Bassey Elijah, attached to a nursery and primary school in Calabar, following an allegation of sexu@l ass@ult involving a five-year-old pupil of the school.

The incident was reported to the Police on September 28 by the proprietress of the school in Calabar. According to the report, the suspect was allegedly caught taking the five-year-old pupil to an uncompleted building within the vicinity of the school, where the alleged assault occurred.

Confirming the incident to newsmen, the command’s spokesperson, Eitokpa Akata, said the suspect is currently in Police custody.

He said preliminary investigation is ongoing, after which the suspect will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation.

Akata said the Command is treating the matter with the seriousness it deserves, particularly given the age of the alleged victim. He mentioned that appropriate investigative and child-protection procedures will be followed in accordance with the law.

The police imagemaker urged parents, guardians, school authorities and members of the public to remain vigilant and promptly report any suspected abuse or exploitation of children to the Police.

He was disqualified this evening following his att@ck on his fellow housemate, Tram, over a shirt last night.

Big Brother confirmed that Keivo was identified as the perpetrator of the violent act and was subsequently removed from the house and disqualified from the competition.

Addressing the housemates, Big Brother reiterated that no disagreement, accusation or personal grievance justifies violence, stressing that every housemate is responsible for their actions and will be held accountable for their choices.

President Bola Tinubu has returned to Nigeria after a four-week European vacation.

The President arrived in Lagos from Paris aboard Nigerian Air Force One, with the aircraft taxiing into the presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport at about 6:22pm this evening.

A Georgia woman who worked as a police officer and evidence custodian has been arrested after she reportedly stole money from the police department’s evidence room.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said 61-year-old Donna Jean Kelley of Cartersville was arrested on Sept. 24 and charged with violation of oath, first-degree forgery, and felony theft by taking.

The investigation began on May 27, when the Cartersville Police Department asked the GBI to investigate missing money from its evidence room.

According to the GBI, agents determined that Kelley stole money from the evidence room while she was employed by the Cartersville Police Department as an officer and evidence custodian.

The GBI did not say exactly how much money was stolen or how they connected Kelley to it. Additional details about what Kelley exactly forged were not mentioned either.

Kelley was booked into the Bartow County Jail on Sept. 24, according to the GBI. Her charges include violation of oath, first-degree forgery, and felony theft by taking.

Nigerian singer Candy Bleakz has spoken about her sexuality, revealing that she identifies as demisexual.

In a video shared online, the singer said she often receives questions about her sexuality and that people are usually intrigued when she tells them she is demisexual.

“I also get a lot of questions around my sexuality and when I tell them I am demisexual, they are also intrigued. I don't know why, can't I be demisexual?” she said.

A Utah judge has ordered a 71-year-old man to be released on bail after he spent decades on ***** row for a 1985 killing after prosecutors said newly analyzed DNA evidence did not match him.

Douglas Stewart Carter was sentenced to ***** that same year after a jury found him guilty of murd£ring Eva Olesen, an aunt of the Provo police chief at the time.

The state Supreme Court ordered a new trial last year, citing misconduct by investigators. Carter has maintained his innocence and says a signed confession was coerced.

No physical evidence linked him to the crime scene, but the jury convicted Carter, a Black man, based on the confession and two witnesses who said he bragged about killing Olesen, who was White.

Defense attorney Neal Hamilton said Carter will be placed in an extended-stay accommodation near the family of his son, who was adopted by another family as an infant and didn’t learn about the conviction until years later. Carter will also need therapy to deal with his extended incarceration, Hamilton said.

“It’s not just as simple as, ‘Let’s let him go,’” Hamilton said. “He’s being released with 41 years of state-induced trauma and the effect it will have on him is very real.”

A Special Court for Kidnapping and Cultism in Benin City, Edo State, has sentenced a four-member kidnapping syndicate to d3ath by hanging or lethal injection.

The suspects, Marvelous Isaac, 32; Gift Raphael, 27; Wisdom Michael; and Rufus Michael, were arraigned before the court on an 11-count charge bordering on kidnapping, conspiracy, armed robbery, possession of firearms, among other offences.

The court, presided over by Justice Aigbona Terry Momodu, however, held that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt and therefore sentenced them to ***** by hanging or lethal injection.

The convicts had reportedly abducted a woman at the Vegetable Market, off Airport Road in Benin City, but her husband escaped.

Governor Monday Okpebholo had, following the Vegetable Market incident, set up a Special Court to try cases of kidnapping and cultism.

U.S.-based Nigerian-American nurse and influencer Bukola Akinpelu, popularly known as Nurse Sugar, has reacted to a video shared by her ex-husband’s camp showing a past incident between them.

In an emotional video, Nurse Sugar said the past few days had been difficult as she prepares to release a book detailing her experiences.

“Some of you are seeing a clip today, I lived that moment years ago,” she said, explaining that the video represented only a small part of the story she had written about.

She said one of her biggest fears about writing the book was becoming a subject of public discussion before people had heard the full story.

According to her, she had decided to tell the truth in the book, even if some parts could be interpreted as an attempt to defend herself.

Nurse Sugar then read an account from the book describing an incident involving her ex-husband and a mattress in an apartment she said she was paying for.

She recounted confronting him and telling him to leave the room after an argument, before describing how she filled a bucket with water and poured it on the other side of the mattress while he was lying on one side.

“This is my truth,” she said, adding that she deliberately made herself vulnerable by sharing her experiences because she wanted readers to understand her beyond the clips being circulated online.

Nurse Sugar thanked those who had reached out to support her and said she was still processing everything, adding that she would eventually return to the version of herself her followers knew.

An accident involving a truck carrying crates of beer occurred at Ojuelegba, Lagos, with several bottles reportedly falling onto the road.
