Prophet Allegedly Rapes His 7-year-old Daughter
An Ogbesun Chief Magistrates’ Court in Benin City, Edo State, on Wednesday ordered the remand of a 41-year-old Prophet, Benjamin Bernard, in prison custody for alleged rape of his seven-year-old daughter.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Chief Magistrate, Mrs Taiye Omoruyi, refused to admit the cleric to bail.
The prosecutor, Kenneth Ugiagbe, said the pastor committed the incest against his third daughter on January 26, 2016.
The minor, led in evidence by Ugiagbe, told the court that after defiling her, Bernard used a white handkerchief to clean her private parts.
She said her father warned her not to mention it to anyone else, and threatened to kill her if she did.
Bernard pleaded not guilty to the one count of defilement preferred against him. The court adjourned the matter till March 16 for further hearing.
Woman Hides 4-year-old Child Inside a Bag on a Flight
A woman who flew from Istanbul to Paris this week was arrested after it was discovered that she had hidden a four-year-old girl in a bag on the plane, Air France said Wednesday.
The airline said the child who was travelling with the woman didn't have a plane ticket.
According to AFP reports, the woman was a resident of France who was in the process of adopting the child who was from Haiti.
"She was apparently in the transit zone in Istanbul, and had crossed the customs checkpoint with the child, when she was prevented from boarding a flight with her," said the source.
The woman who didn't want to buy a ticket for the child decided to hide her in a bag in order to board the next flight, after buying a new ticket for herself.
"Once on board, she placed the child at her feet, under a blanket, but the girl needed to go to the toilet and was noticed by other passengers," the source told AFP.
Air France said it notified French authorities and the woman was taken into custody upon landing, but prosecutors decided not to press charges.
The woman and the girl were held at the airport while authorities investigate the case to make sure the little girl wasn't kidnapped.
Yakubu Gowon Finally Accepts 48-year Old Son After DNA Test Confirms He's The Biological Father
The 48 years legal battle over the paternity of Jack Musa Gowon, the love child of former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, has ended with Gowon accepting that he is Musa’s father after a DNA test confirmed this.
Musa who recently returned to Nigeria after spending 20 years in an American prison, is the love child born from a secret affair Gowon had with late Edith Ike-Okongwu.
In a statement he personally signed and released yesterday March 9th, General Gowon said,
“Following years of doubts and speculation, a DNA test was recently conducted to ascertain the paternity of Musa Gowon who recently returned to the country. The results of the tests were conclusive and they confirm his paternity.
We, the family, are working to assist in his rehabilitation following a very difficult period in his life. As we look forward to the future with faith in God, we request that our privacy be respected. Thank you"
Musa and his late mother have been in a long legal battle with Gowon who refused to accept him as his son. He was born to Miss Edith Ike during the Nigeria Civil War in 1968, when Gowon was Head of the Federal Military Government and Commander-in-Chief of the federal forces.
Edith who later remarried, died of cancer several years ago.
