She said: “Miracle cried when she met me in my room the same night she died and complained about one Mohammed, whom, she said, had been a threat to her life. She told me that Mohammed’s love advances had been a threat to her and she could no longer bear to see Mohammed’s face in her room. “While I was with her, the same Mohammed came in and she left for her room. The following morning as I was preparing for school, I knocked on her door but nobody responded. I thought maybe, she was praying and I left for my exam.” Other residents of the hostel told Daily Sun correspondent that they sensed something was wrong when they noticed that the girl’s door was still locked from inside until in the evening when they raised the alarm and knocked hard on the door but to no avail. The students stated that it was when they called her phone and it rang but was not picked, that they peeped through the widow and saw her body on her bed, dead and naked. The police at Ishieke later deposited her corpse in the mortuary while further investigation continues.

ASUU Strike: Adamawa State University Withdraws Posted: 19 Jul 2013 04:13 AM PDT The Adamawa State University’s chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced its withdrawal from the on-going nationwide strike called by its national body. Reports say that the development followed a vote of “no confidence” passed by some lecturers on the chapter’s executive council in Mubi on Thursday. The vote was passed during a special congress where Dr Kamkwis Zira was nominated as the new acting Chairman. Zira, who announced the withdrawal, accused the ousted executive council members of joining the nationwide strike without due consultation with members. “The new executive council has met with the university authorities and resolved to resume lectures on Monday,” the new acting Chairman said. In a swift reaction however, the ousted chapter chairman, Molem Ishaku, said he was still in charge and that the strike would continue. Ishaku described his removal as “an illegal development that cannot stand”. When contacted on the development, the University’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Alkasum Abba, said all he knew was that the chapter’s ASUU had withdrawn from the nationwide strike. Lab Assistant Arrested For Buying Students Blood Posted: 19 Jul 2013 04:10 AM PDT A laboratory assistant, Shola Opeyemi, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly buying pints of blood from some secondary school pupils. Opeyemi was said to have been apprehended at Orile-Agege after a local traditional ruler tipped off the police about his activities. Opeyemi, who was a former employee of a registered medical laboratory that supplied blood to hospitals in Lagos, was said to have delved into buying and selling of blood after he was fired from his job late last year. Opeyemi’s activities came to the notice of the traditional ruler when some senior secondary school students always seemed to be hanging around Opeyemi’s store. One of the sources said, “Within the community, everybody knew Opeyemi as a dealer in medical items like antiseptics, bandages, medical tapes and surgical needles but no one suspected he was buying blood from students until they (students) started flocking his shop for no obvious reason.” Reports say that as words had spread that Opeyemi was paying N1,500 for a pint of blood, making the students to hang around his shop. The source said, “From his experience as a lab assistant, Opeyemi knew that blood was expensive. This is because Nigerians have not imbibed the culture of voluntarily donating blood. So what he simply did when he lost his job was to entice students with money, get them to donate blood and sell them at a higher price to hospitals who assumed he was working with a registered medical laboratory. “When Opeyemi was arrested, he confessed to the crime. He claimed that he ensured that all blood samples were duly tested for HIV and other diseases before they were sold to hospitals. “There were a lot of students in the community who had at one time or the other sold blood to Opeyemi. Some of them who were apprehended alongside Opeyemi confessed that several other classmates were involved. Police detectives later went back to check the needle punctures in the arms of the students. All the students involved attended the same school.” Opeyemi is currently under investigation at the State Criminal Investigation Department, after which the law would take its course.” List Of Senators Who Voted In Favour To Legalize Underage Marriage In Nigeria Posted: 19 Jul 2013 04:01 AM PDT
