A South African rape survivor has narrated how her father was made to
pay for raping her over the course of 12 years and impregnating
her. Zizo Apleni, 24, has encouraged women to speak out against gender
violence by using her story as an example. She decided to speak about
her rape ordeal at the start of the 16 Days of Activism Against
Gender-Based Violence. Zizo, who authored the book "My Father Took My
Innocence" said she was raped by her father between 2001 and 2013. She
said she used to visit her father often and she was seven when the first
incident occurred.As I was young, I didn’t know what he was doing was
wrong. I only found out what he was doing after our hostel manager
taught us not to have sex with our boyfriends.When I got home, I told my
father what our hostel manager told us. He started threatening me and
said I should never report it, because no one would believe me.Zizo
obeyed her father and kept silent. It wasn't until she got pregnant in
2013 that her mother became aware of it.She recalled:I told her my
father had been raping me for years. We reported it to the police and he
was bust the same day.I was helped to abort the baby.In 2016, he was
sentenced to 12 years in prison. My mum was very supportive. Photo: Ugandan father drowns his two daughters, takes own life
Police in Mubende District, Uganda, have recovered two bodies of
children allegedly drowned by their father in a water dam before he took
his own life. Authorities identified the girls as Shifa Byamukama, 4,
and Zabaayo Jackline, 2, both residents of Kyakadali village, Bageza
Sub-county in Mubende District. 
Police
also found the body of the victims’ father identified as John Zabayo,
30, lying a few meters from the dam where their bodies were
recovered.Mubende District Police Commander, Mr Martin Okoyo said they
have launched investigations into their death as they wait for
postmortem reports from Mubende Regional Referral Hospital where the
bodies were taken on Tuesday.Mr John Mary Viviane, the LC1 Chairperson
of the village told a reporter that Zabayo had been miserable ever since
his wife separated with him and abandoned the children.“We believe that
Zabayo decided to drown the two children before taking his own life
given what he’s been through. He has had a troubled experience. It is
unfortunate that he did not come to us for advice,” he said.It's unacceptable for APC to forbid aggrieved members from dragging the party to court - President Buhari
President Buhari has stressed that if anyone is displeased with the way
and manner anything has been done, and feels deprived of his/her rights,
then such a person is at liberty to approach the courts for
redress. The president reacted to the position of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) which recently forbade members from dragging the party to
court, the President said:“We can’t deliberately deny people of their
rights. We agreed that party primaries should be conducted either
through direct, indirect or consensus methods, and if anyone feels
unjustly treated in the process, such a person can go to court. The
court should always be the last resort for the dissatisfied. For the
party to outlaw the court process is not acceptable to me.” The APC, in a
decision ascribed to the National Working Committee (NWC) had last week
threatened to punish members across the country who had dragged the
party to court over various issues. According to a statement, “The Party
intends to activate constitutional provisions to penalise such members
as their action is capable of undermining the Party and hurt the Party’s
interest.“We hereby strongly advise such members to withdraw all court
cases, while approaching the appropriate party organs with a view to
resolving any outstanding disputes. In addition to this, aggrieved
members are urged to take full advantage of the reconciliation
committees the Party has put in place.APC members should understand that
as a progressive party that operates on the principle of change, it is
not a matter of choice to keep to the rules.” President Buhari also
advised members to work with the reconciliation committees empanelled
for the six geo-political zones by the APC, and not a purported
Presidential Committee on Reconciliation, stressing that the Party is
the only body authorised to constitute such committees.Emeka Ike slams multiple followers who reacted to his political campaign posts on social media

EFCC yesterday arraigned arraigned one Christopher Okeke alongside his
company, Sanfill Nigeria LTD before Justice D.Z Senchi of the Federal
Capital Territory High Court sitting in Jabi, Abuja on a two-count
charge of obtaining by false pretence to the tune of N15,300,000
(Fifteen Million Three Hundred Thousand Naira). Okeke was alleged to
have fraudulently used his company to hack into the account of Chams
Nigeria LTD and moved the total sum of N15,300,000 (Fifteen Million,
Three Hundred Thousand Naira) only into his company, Sanfill Nigeria
LTD.One of the counts reads: “That you, Christopher Okeke, whilst being
the Director of Sanfill Nigeria Ltd. and Sanfill Nigeria LTD on or about
4th and 7th October 2016 in Abuja within the jurisdiction of the High
Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja did with intent to
defraud, conspired to obtain the sum of N9,500,000 (Nine Million, Five
Hundred Thousand Naira) only and N5,800,000 (Five Million Eight Hundred
Thousand Naira) only respectively from Chams Nig LTD, Wema Bank a/c No.
0121579940 and transfers to Sanfill Nig LTD a/c No. 6001591797 domiciled
in Heritage Bank under the false pretence that the sum was purportedly
transferred from Oluwakemi Esene with email ocsene@chams.com and
lenoidem@chams.com accountant of Chams Nigeria LTD which representation
you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to
section 8(a) of the Advanced Fee Fraud and other related offences act
2006 and punishable under section 1(3) of the same Act.”The defendant
pleaded not guilty to the charges. In view of his plea, the Prosecution
counsel, Steve E. Odiase asked for a date for commencement of
trial. Justice Senchi while adjourning the matter to February 26, 2019
admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of One Million Naira with two
sureties in like sum. The sureties, the court ruled, must be residents
of Abuja and must sign an undertaking to provide the defendant on the
dates of trial.We did not receive N10 million donation from Governor Ganduje - EFCC
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has reacted to a
trending story on social media concerning a purported statement credited
to the media aide of the Kano State governor to the effect that the
Commission got a N10 Million donation from the state government. EFCC
says, 'the story is not falsehood, but a deliberate attempt to malign
the efforts of the Commission in the fight against corruption. For the
records, it is a tradition that the EFCC does not receive donations from
state governors/government or any individual at that'. The EFCC, as a
reputable anti-graft agency is sponsored by federal government through
budgetary allocation and in some cases, foreign organisations in terms
of capacity building.It is true that the Commission, in collaboration
with the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Crimes, ICPC
and the Athletic Federation of Nigeria, AFN and other stakeholders is
organizing the first National Anti-Corruption Marathon.Jacob Onu, the
leader of the National Anti-Corruption Marathon had in the course of his
visit to the Commission a fortnight ago told the Acting Chairman and
his management about the marathon which he said is being planned in
tandem with the International Anti-Corruption Day which usually comes up
on December 9 every year.He said it was aimed at raising national
consciousness on the scourge and danger of corruption to the country and
the need for all and sundry to join hands to eradicate it.It is
therefore very shocking to read of a purported donation of N10 million
to the Commission.The story is not only unfounded but very mischievous.
For the avoidance of doubt, no State governor or some other individual
or group has donated any amount of money to the EFCC to carry out the
Anti-corruption Marathon project or any other project for that matter.SMEDA deputy director, Tunde Osho arraigned for N700m fraud (Photo)
On Monday, November 26, 2018, EFCC arraigned Babatunde Osho, before
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court, sitting in Maitama,
Abuja, on a 41-count charge, bordering on forgery, fraudulent
acquisition of properties and money laundering to the tune of N700
million. Osho was arraigned alongside Midset Agro Services Limited, Just
Fair Investment Limited, and Tufik Associates, companies he is
signatories to. The defendant's journey to the dock, started when the
Commission received an intelligence report that Osho, a Deputy Director,
Account and Finance, in Small and Medium Enterprises Development
Agency, SMEDA, allegedly diverted the said money, meant for constituency
projects and awarded same to his personal companies. Further
investigations into the matter revealed that no contracts were executed.
Also, during interrogation, he was asked why the money was diverted
into his account and Osho, who equally owns a Primary and Secondary
School, Royal Field Academy in Ogun State, made available forged
documents to mislead the Commission into believing that the contract was
actually awarded to his companies.One of the counts reads: "That you
Babatunde Osho and Just Fair Investment Limited between April 2017 and
May 2018 in Abuja within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, used
the total sum of N120,700,000 (One Hundred And Twenty Million, Seven
Hundred Thousand Naira) when you ought to have known that the said
N120,700,000 paid into the FCMB Account No. 4342993012 represents
proceeds of unlawful activity of Babatunde Osho to wit: Forgery and
Fraudulent Acquisition of Property and thereby committed an offence
contrary to Section 15 (2) (d) of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act
2011 as amended by Act No. 1 of 2012 and punishable under Section 15 (3)
of the same Act".He pleaded not guilty to all the counts. In view of
his plea, the prosecution counsel, E. E. Iheanacho, prayed the court for
a trial date and for the defendant to be remanded in prison custody.Final year student of Madonna university dies on campus following a brief illness

Excitement as Lagos wins 5th Lafarge Africa National Literacy Competition
After countless hours of rigorous coaching, scores of intra-school
contests, six regional championships and one grande finale, the joy of
Kehinde Lawal and Idowu Ayomikun representing Lagos State could hardly
be contained after they emerged winners of the 2018 Lafarge Africa
National Literacy Competition. They know they are closer to achieving
their dreams in future. Ayomikun wants to become a psychotherapist while
Lawal wants to become a playwright like the special guest, Prof. Wole
Soyinka. “I was intimidated with the knowledge of fellow contestants
when I saw them for the first time, but as the competition progressed, I
got more confident,” Ayomikun said. “Now this victory has brought me
closer to my dream and I am sure I can achieve whatever I focus my mind
on.” 
For
Lawal, it is a story of resilience and determination. “Last year, I
contested in the school level, but I could not qualify,” he explained.
“This year, I came in with more determination and experience and it
resulted in this victory. I thank Lafarge Africa for this opportunity
and I urge all other kids to keep trying their best. It will definitely
be rewarded just like mine has been rewarded now.” Parents and teachers
of the winners were also excited. They recounted the winners’ efforts
during preparation for the two-month long competition. For Mr. Osho, one
of Lawal's teachers present at the event, it was an estatic moment.
“These pupils have made me proud. I am the happiest person in the world
with this victory,” the teacher said. The organisers of the event and
special guests shared the joys of the moment. 
Presenting
prizes to the winners, the Chief Executive Officer, Lafarge Africa,
Michel Puchercos applauded all the participants acknowledging all the
students who participated at every stage of the competition. He said:
“Apart from the cash prizes received, those who take part in this
competition go away with skills indispensable for building a sustainable
future. We recognize the importance of better literacy skills in
helping individuals succeed in life. The Lafarge Africa National
Literacy Competition builds capacity and contributes to developing this
much needed skill in public primary school students across
Nigeria. “Seeing states like Gombe, Nasarawa among some others here, I
am sure that the battle against illiteracy… can be won,” Wole Soyinka
said.Though only two out of the thousands of pupils who competed emerged
as winners, all who took part benefited from the competition. As part
of the preparation for the competition, all the students are coached in
spelling, pronunciation, essay and summary writing. In this way,
overall, the competition builds capacity, and contributes to improving
literacy of pupils in public primary schools. More photos below...

There's been a development in the family of the late South African Hip
Hop legend, Jabulani Tsambo aka HHP, and this is one of the hottest news
out of South Africa.HHP's baby mama Lerato Khanye, who has a
13-year-old son with the rapper, died in the early hours of yesterday
Nov 26 at a Johannesburg hospital. The exact circumstances surrounding
Lerato Khanye's death are not clear but social media users are dragging
HHP's wife in the wake of the death. 
HHP
and Lerato Khanye HHP, who committed suicide on October 24, 2018, was
married to publicist Lerato Sengadi, whom he loved crazily, according to
reports. He also had a son named Leano with his former partner Lerato
Khanye. It so happens that after HHP committed suicide last month and
was buried, there was a bit of a misunderstanding as to who has a right
to his estate. 
HHP
and Sengadi Wife Sengadi with the help of the courts and the
police established that she's the lawful wife and as a result, has a
right to the late rapper's estate. This didn't go down well with HHP's
family and there's been tension between them since. 
Sengadi Earlier
this month, a family spokesperson, Nkululeko Ncane, took to Twitter to
claim that HHP’s teenage son has been kicked out of the late rapper’s
home in Randpark Ridge by Sengadi. Ncane shared photos of his belongings
outside. 
In the midst of the family drama, Lerato Khanye died. And social media users are now dragging Lerato Sengadi without proof. 
Armed robbers allegedly steal babies at University of Calabar Teaching Hospital
Dare devil armed robbers who attacked the premises of the University of
Calabar Teaching Hospital, have been accused of stealing three new born
babies from the pediatric ward of the hospital. According to Punch. the
robbers who were about 10 in number, invaded the premises on Sunday
night, November 25th and carried out their attack, with no mask on. They
reportedly moved from bed to bed to pick up babies. They beat up the
hospital staff and also attacked pregnant women in the pediatric ward.
They also stole phones and cash from people in the ward.A nurse in the
hospital who spoke on condition of anonymity, said“Sunday night, several
armed robbers gained access to this (paediatric) unit. They came with
guns and machetes. They beat up my colleagues and some nursing mothers.
They took away some babies and money from the patients and nursing
mothers. The security in this hospital has been very porous. Lives of
patients, nurses and doctors are at risk. There is nowhere in this
hospital that is safe. There is so much stealing going on. Visitors are
no longer controlled. People troop into the wards without any check.
Many, including thieves, come in the guise of being patients’ relatives.
Hospital properties are stolen frequently, while electricity supply is a
big challenge in the hospital, because the diesel and generator parts
are stolen frequently by the workers and armed robbers.”The nurses said
security in the hospital has been porous for months as the private
security firm employed by the Hospital management, had withdrawn their
services over non-payment of salaries.When contacted, the Chief Medical
Director of the hospital, Prof. Thomas Agan, denied that the incident
happened in the hospital.The Cross River State Commissioner of Police,
Hafiz Inuwa, said he could not speak on the incident because he was out

Dr D.K Olukoya, the General overseer of the Mountain of Fire and
Miracles Ministries, is known for his unquestionable love for music, and
this has seen him commit resources, time and energy to the discovery,
development and refining of musical talents, thereby, enabling such
talents to attain world class standard.A man who has created such an
inspiring environment by being a mentor, has also made unreserved
financial commitments, by providing such talents with opportunities for
further development through music studies. Interestingly, he himself is
also a musician, who has several musical compositions to his name as
well as a massive collection of negro spiritual songs. This love and
passion for great music led to his unreserved support for the ‘Shalom
Chorale’ - a gospel choir group in MFM United Kingdom.Dr D.K Olukoya’s
commitment was rewarded this beautiful Sunday 25th November 2018, when
the Shalom Chorale brought home glory to the gospel genre, and the
Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries church at large, as they
emerged winners of the BBC Songs of Praise Gospel Choir of The Year 2018
competition in the United Kingdom. This competition is highly
recognised not just in the UK, but in the world wide gospel music
scene.The annual event organized by the British Broadcasting Commission
(BBC) Songs of Praise, had several choirs from around Great Britain
enter in, but only 5 were selected as finalists, but only one could
emerge as the winner. And that position was awarded to the Shalom
Chorale during the final episode on 25th November which was aired on BBC
One. 
The
Shalom Chorale is a group of singers with passion for music and faith
in God. In times like these, when news of violence and rumours of war
seem to dominate the world, they feel there is a need for peace, hence
