Father In Court For Infecting His 6 Year Old Daughter With A Deadly STD

A 35-year-old man, Harrison Agu has been arraigned before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court, sitting in Lagos State, for allegedly defiling his 6-year-old daughter on countless occasions and in the process infecting her with a s3xually transmitted disease.
The man who resides at 23, Rotimi Omotosho Street, Isheri Osun, Lagos with his family was charged with indecent treatment of a minor, an offence that carries a seven-year imprisonment if found guilty.
The police prosecutor in the case,
Inspector Simon Imhonwa , had told the court that the father of three had been s3xually abusing his daughter for the past three years.
The accused began the assault in 2013 when the child’s mother was away for the compulsory one year NYSC.
It was during this period that the child fell ill with a serious infection in her genitals for the first time.
Thereafter, the mother of the child observed that the child’s genitals regularly produced a foul smell with discharges.
The mother took the child to the hospital where it was confirmed that she had been defiled and infected with the disease.
The mother said her child told her that Agu always asked her to remove her jeans and pants and then he will put his hand in her ‘bum bum’ (vagina) and if she refuses, he beats her.
The prosecutor said.
He further told the court that police investigations into the case further revealed that the child had been physically and emotionally abused since she was aged 3.
However, the accused pleaded not guilty to the charge and the Magistrate,
Mrs Bola Osunsanmi, admitted him to bail in the sum of N500,000, and ordered that the file be forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for advice.

CBN plans soft loans for one million graduates

The Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, on Thursday announced that a low-interest loan scheme for one million young graduates would commence next year.
The governor said the special loan scheme, which would be managed by the central bank in collaboration with commercial banks, was part of the strategy of the Federal Government to boost the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises sub-sector and curtail unemployment among the youth.
Emefiele made the disclosure in Lagos during the opening ceremony of the seventh Annual Bankers’ Committee Retreat.
The CBN governor said, “We need to get more and more people to be employed, and we will need the support of the banks to begin to see how we lower our risk acceptance criteria to give support to our young graduates.
“In the course of the next few weeks, we will be unfolding a plan of support of the CBN to create employment for at least one million young graduates in Nigeria in 2016. That will entail support from Nigerian banks and our development institutions to see how we will channel these concessionary loans to companies that are MSMEs.”
Emefiele said the plunge in commodity prices, especially crude oil, had led to sharp fall in the nation’s revenue, adding that Nigeria and other oil exporting countries were facing hard times, a situation that necessitated the need to diversify the economy away from oil.
According to the CBN boss, the MSMEs represent the engine room of growth of any economy and there is a need for Nigeria to focus on the sector in order to weather the trying times.
He said, “The drop in commodity prices is a major thing that has affected the country. What that means is that your revenue has dropped and we are facing very serious pressure on our external reserves and exchange rate. What that does is that we all need to think about how we should come together and see what we can do as a people to shield ourselves from what is happening. So, we need to do whatever we can to protect the economy.
“We are entering a phase where we believe that the SMEs must be the only priority for growth in our economy. I must say that the Nigerian banking sector has not played an active part in supporting the SMEs, but this is not without reasons. We had issues in the past where people took loans and didn’t pay.
“The SMEs are seen as drivers of growth in any economy. Nigeria has 37 MSMEs. The CBN has a N220bn MSME facility. We have used various approaches to stimulate lending to the SMEs through that fund and I must confess that we are not doing enough on that because less than half of that fund has been disbursed today.”
Emefiele urged the bank MDs and heads of financial institutions at the meeting not to shy away from lending to the real sector, adding that the proposed loan scheme for young graduates must work.
He said, “Let’s give the young graduates a chance. The SME programme is going to be separate from the N220bn MSME fund, and I am saying if you (the banks) refuse to support, your money that we would have released through the Cash Reserve Ratio, we will take that money and lend it through any channel that will give these young graduates jobs.
“We all need to think together and agree because there is no need to release the money to you and all you do with the money is buy treasury bills. It can’t continue. We need to think about the best ways to diversify this economy away from oil.”
Meanwhile, the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, who was also present at the opening of the retreat, disclosed that the Federal Government would be borrowing to stimulate the economy.
She said Nigeria was facing a very challenging economic situation and there was a need to focus on the SME sector to boost growth.
According to her, the government will be doing all that needs to be done on the fiscal side of the economy to ensure that the money that will be borrowed is not spent on recurrent expenditure but on capital projects.

Pupils attack teachers with guns in Osun

Some teachers at Anglican High School and Adenle Middle School in Osogbo narrowly escaped being shot when some cultists invaded the school compound and chased out teachers.
The school which houses student population of about 7,000 is made up of Anglican High School 1-5 and some students of Adenle Middle School.
Our correspondent gathered on Thursday that the crisis was caused by some students who knew they could not pass the qualifying examination the state wanted to conduct to select those whose WAEC fee would be paid by the state government.
But some said the crisis started last Friday when a student identified as Toib and his colleagues stormed the school premises with dane guns to attack a member of Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme ( O’ YES cadet) who they had issues with.
A teacher told our correspondent that Toib and his gang chased a female Home Economics teacher out of the class when the trouble started.
The invasion of the school forced other students and workers to flee.
The Friday invasion was said to have forced the school authorities to invite policemen but the cultists mobilised more members and attacked the police even on Monday.
The development, it was gathered led to the instruction given to the teachers by the Nigeria Union of Teachers that all teachers should stay away from school because of the threat to their lives.
It was further learnt that the Osun State Ministry of Education had also closed down the school to prevent any death.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Mr. Lawrence Oyeniran, when contacted declined to make any comment on the crisis.
He said, ” This is a subject I don’t want to talk about. Maybe you can see the deputy governor and ask her your questions.”
However, the NUT chairman, Mr. Amudah Wakeel, when contacted said the crisis was so serious, adding that some of the teachers were lucky to have escaped being shot dead by the rampaging cultists.
Wakeel said, ” Some cultists among the students invaded the school. They wanted to kill some of the teachers. They took dane guns to the school but our members were fortunate.
“A member of ‘OYES’ cadet was injured with an axe by the students but he survived. The police were deployed to prevent the situation from leading to loss of lives. We have instructed our members to stay away from the school because of the threat to their lives.
“The union has the power to instruct members not to go to school if their lives were threatened and this is exactly what happened. The teachers stopped going to school and the government has closed down the school.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Folasade Odoro, when contacted told our corespondent that seven suspects were arrested in connection with the crisis.
It will be recalled that a teacher at the Oosgbo High School was injured with an axe following the bloody clash between students of the school and students of Government Technical College, Osogbo, in 2014.
