 Inmates at the Kuje prison were shocked to see that the former Minister of Interior, Abba Moro is now one of them, The Nation reports. Many of them were excited and curious to know what led to his detention.

According to a source, the inmates were amazed to see Moro in prison custody barely one year after he visited the facility as the interior minister (oh well).

A source said the former minister was brought to the prison around 12 pm on Monday and made to undergo the standard procedures for inmates.

She fixed April 27th for commencement of trial.

5 Killed, Many Injured at The Mile 12, Following Ethnic War Between Hausa's & Yoruba's(Photos)

 Not less than five persons were killed today in an apparent ethnic tussle at the popular Mile 12 Market in Lagos State.

The clash, which grounded business activities and hampered traffic flow for over three hours reportedly started on Wednesday night.

Several persons including police officers were also injured, just as buildings were razed.

Trouble started on Thursday morning after members of the Hausa community in the market stormed the Agiliti area to avenge the death of a motorcyclist.

A Yoruba man assaulted the unnamed motorcyclist with a cutlass and he died on Thursday morning.

The deceased Hausa man reportedly had an altercation with hoodlums and as he tried to drive off, he unknowingly hit the woman.

And following his refusal to part with ‘ticket money’, he was allegedly beaten up by the hoodlums who saw the accident as an opportunity to strike.

This attracted the fury of his colleagues and kinsmen who engaged the hoodlums in a free for all.

But the news of his death on Thursday morning allegedly reignited the fight with some mercenaries imported through the PSP truck.

Vehicles were vandalised, shops looted as people rushed into moving vehicles just to leave the scene of the crisis.

Firemen trying to put off an inferno were stopped by the hoodlums.

Military officials are currently in the area to restore peace. See more photos below...

Man Sentenced to 200 Years in Prison For Killing His 4 Children Following a Feud With Wife

 A 40-year-old man in Kisii County, Kenya, was on Monday, February 29th, sentenced to 200 years in prison for killing his 4 children. Kisii resident judge, Joseph Karanja ruled that Misati will serve the sentence concurrently for 50 years for each of the four counts of murder he had been charged with.

 According to Standard Digital News, the case has been in court since 2013 when Misati was charged with killing his four children, Toto, 3, Brian, 9, Ontoyo, 7, and Naomi Mogutu, 5.

Lukas Misati committed the crime outside their rental houses in Egesa in Kitutu Chae Central, on the night of November 10, 2012 following a feud with his wife, Helen Kemunto (pictured)

In her affidavit, Kemunto told the court that her husband came home on the night of that fateful day, woke her up and said he wanted them to move. She refused and Misati attacked her with a knife. Kemunto escaped with injuries and managed to get treatment at a nearby hospital.

"I managed to escape and went to seek treatment at Kisii Level Five Hospital," the affdiavit reads. But when she returned home, she found the children missing.

"I thought they had shifted to another house. My husband called our landlady and told her to inform me that i pick my children from a nearby bush. However, one of the children lay dead at the doorstep while the other three bodies were in the nearby nappier grass"

A postmortem carried out on the bodies revealed that the deaths were caused by strangulation. Misati was on the run for one year before he was picked up by the police on November 21st, 2013. After his sentencing, Misati recounted that everything happened so fast to be able to tell what happened that night.
