Senior Lecturer, son rape 13-year-old maid

A 51-year-old Senior Lecturer in the Department of Catering and Hotel Management, Benue State Polytechnic, Ugbokolo, Andrew Ogbuja, has been nabbed and dragged to court for allegedly raping his 13 years old housemaid.

Mr. Ogbuja’s teenage son, Victor, was also alleged to have been part of the sexual molestation of the victim, but is now at large.

Andrew Ogbuja, who was arraigned before a Makurdi Upper Area Court on Monday, was arrested last Friday after the victim’s family raised the alarm.
When the case came up, the accused pleaded with the judge to temper justice with mercy, asking to be granted bail so he can go back home to have the matter resolved amicably, considering his status, especially as he was caught in the act.

The accused, who spoke through his counsel, David Ojile, equally promised to take full responsibility for the treatment of the victim, saying it was a family matter.

His plea was, however, rejected by the trial judge, Mr. Sam Kwen, who ordered the lecturer remanded at Makurdi Federal Prisons.

The case
Earlier the Police prosecutor, Inspector Patrick Sunday, told the court that on August 8, at about 12 noon, the International Federation of Women Lawyers, Benue State chapter, in company of one Rose Abah of Ogene Amadu Edumoga, Okpokwu Local Government Area of the state, reported the matter at the Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, CIID, of the state police command.

According to the prosecutor, “from the First Information Report, FIR, before the court, Mrs. Abah claimed that sometime in February, when her 13-year-old daughter was sick and admitted at Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi, she told her that when she was staying with her cousin-sister, Felicia Ogbuja in Ugbokolo town between 2013 and 2015, her son, Victor Ogbuja, raped her.

“She further said that her cousin’s husband, Andrew Ogbuja, also had canal knowledge of her.”
He said during police investigation, the said Andrew Ogbuja was arrested, while the said Victor Ogbuja was at large, noting that “the offence is punishable under Sections 97 and 284 of the Penal Code of Benue State 2004.”
However, no plea was taken because the court lacked the jurisdiction to hear the case, while the judge, Mr. Kwen, adjourned the case to September 24.

Sodomised, too
Speaking to newsmen after the court sitting, a caregiver and Founder of Restorer of PathCare Foundation, Evangelist Enewa Soo, stated that sometime in June, the case was reported to her through the International Federation of Women Lawyers and she has since been making sure that the victim’s health was restored.

Soo said: “At the time they brought the girl, she was very sick and when we began to make our findings, we discovered that she was actually raped and the doctors confirmed that she was allegedly sexually abused through the virgina and the anus by one Victor Ogbuja, her guardian’s son.

“Since then we have been trying to see how we can restore her health. We took her to a teaching hospital where series of tests were carried out and she has also been booked for Vesicovaginal Fistula, VVF, operation in Jos, Plateau State, from September 16 to 17.”

Soo lamented that the girl had been emotionally and mentally depressed as a result of her situation and called on parents to beware of who they leave their children with.

The son started in 2013, says victim
Narrating her ordeal, the victim, a JSS 1 student of Federal Government College, Gboko, said her guardian’s son first raped her in 2013 and warned her never to disclose it to anyone.

Her story: “It all started in 2013 when I came to live with my mother’s sister in Ugbokolo because there was no school in my village.

“When I was eight years old, the son started sleeping with me and when his sister caught him, she reported him to their father and the father scolded him.

“From there, the father also started sleeping with me and I told my mother. My mother told my elder sister, who later took me to Makurdi for check up. Last year September, when I went to school and started feeling sick, I was taken to Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi, where I spent two months and five days before I was discharged.

“In the hospital, they discovered that what my aunty’ son and his father did to me was responsible for my condition. My mother went to confront my aunty and the husband, but they did not take the matter serious, that is why we brought the case here. I want my health back.”

FUT Minna
Meanwhile, the management of Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State, has sacked one of its lecturers, Omananyi Yunusa, over his involvement in sexual harassment of a female student of the institution.

The university’s Deputy Director, Information and Publications, Lydia Legbo, said the dismissal of Mr. Yunusa, a lecturer in the Department of Geology, followed the outcome of investigation into alleged sexual assault of a female student in the department over marks.

The dismissal was approved during the University Council’s 131st meeting after an investigative panel constituted by Vice Chancellor, Abdullahi Bala, found Yunusa guilty of inappropriate relationship with the student.

Students react
According to a student of the institution, “the news was kept away from media to avoid distraction. In fact, most other departments were not aware.”
A colleague of the victim, who does not want his name mentioned for fear of victimisation, claimed that Yunusa’s dismissal would “bring peace to the department. My Class Governor is a lady, but feels very reluctant when we want to have anything to do with Mr. Yunusa.

“It got to a time, we felt like impeaching her, only to realise that she was avoiding the lecturer because of harassment. We all got the notice about his dismissal; he disappointed himself.”

The institution’s Vice Chancellor said the dismissal of the lecturer would serve as lesson to others to ensure total elimination of sexual harassment in the university community.
The lecturer’s dismissal follows a similar one in another university.

…other institutions
On June 20, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, dismissed a lecturer, Richard Akindele, after he was found guilty of misconduct with a female student of the school.

Also, on July 12, Lagos State University, LASU, issued a query to Sunkanmi Odubunmi, another lecturer involved in a scandal with a student. The case is before a Joint Action Disciplinary Committee.

Awka Prison Inmate Registers for Masters Degree Programme at Open University.

AN inmate of the Awka Prisons in Anambra State, Mr. Jude Onwuzulike has registered for a Master’s degree programme in Information Technology at the National Open University of Nigeria, NOUN.

The 39-year old Onwuzulike, a father of four, was inducted at the 7th matriculation ceremony of the institution held recently at the prison premises. Authorities of NOUN and the Nigeria Prison Service, however decided to organize a special ceremony for the inmates.

The excited Onwuzulike told reporters during the ceremony that he had earlier obtained the Bachelor’s degree and Post Graduate Diploma from the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka and University of Nigeria, respectively before he was sentenced to prison.

He said: “My first degree was in Accounting, which I obtained in 2005, while the second degree was in Mathematics. When I came here, I did a Post Graduate Diploma in Information Technology and I am now pursuing Masters degree in the same discipline.”.

He explained that he had to go into another discipline from his first degree course of study due to what he described as unsatisfactory manner the case that led to his imprisonment was investigated by security operatives, particularly the Department of State Services, DSS. He, however did not give details of what brought him to the prison.

Describing the prison as not conducive for learning, Onwuzulike who is serving life imprisonment, said it would require only a focused person to maximize the opportunity provided by the NOUN.

“Here you see all kinds of people, the uneducated, those who lack parental upbringing and those who were brought up in the motor park.

“As you are reading, they will be distracting you, including asking you to switch off the lights for them to sleep,” he said.

The representative of the Vice chancellor of NOUN, Dr. Scholastica Ezeribe, expressed delight at the inmate’s enthusiasm towards academics.
Ezeribe urged other inmates to utilize the opportunity provided by the government to better the lots of prison inmates, adding that the knowledge they acquired in prison would be of great benefit when they regained their freedom.
According to her, the vice-chancellor of NOUN, Professor Abdalla Adamu was passionate about the programme, which was why he graciously offered it to the inmates free of charge in order to encourage them and to give them hope in life.

The officer in charge of Awka Prisons, DSP Ezenam Andrew said the programme was one of the reformative packages of the Nigeria Prison Service to make the inmates useful and productive so as not to be threats to the society after their discharge from prison.

MASSOB condemns proposed traditional title for Ganduje

MOVEMENT for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, yesterday condemned the proposed traditional chieftaincy title to be given to Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State by HRH, Eze Eberechi Dick in Aba, Abia State.

Members of the Movement for the Survival of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) during their rally to mark the 17th anniversary of the movement, yesterday, in Awka, Anambra State.

The group which described the proposal as a slap on Ndigbo wondered at the rationale for such eloquent honour on a man alleged to have always exhibited ethnical hatred for Ndigbo.

In a statement issued in Abakaliki by the National Director of Information of MASSOB, Comrade Edeson Samuel, the group threatened that it will never allow Governor Ganduje to step his foot in Aba or the palace of HRM, Eberechi Dick, describing the conferrer as a major Biafra saboteur if he decides to go ahead with the conferment of the traditional title on the governor.

“The leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has condemned the proposed traditional chieftaincy title on Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the governor of Kano State by HRM, Eze Eberechi Dick.
“Mere proclamation of such installation is a traditional slap on Ndigbo. What is the rationale for such eloquent honour to a man who grossly and disrespectfully dishonoured and exhibited venoms of ethnical hatred for Ndigbo.

“There are many alleged atrocities and evils committed against Ndigbo by Governor Ganduje. In the case of the alleged murder of an Igbo woman named Mrs Bridget Agbahime in Kano state by sponsored Islamic fundamentalists, Governor Ganduje did nothing in the prosecution of the prime suspects.

“MASSOB recalled that on June 2, the 74-year-old kitchen utensils trader from Imo State was brutally attacked and killed at Kofar Wambai market in Kano by a Muslim mob who accused her of blasphemy. According to Biafra Intelligence Agency’s report, she was pounced upon and murdered after she refused to allow a Muslim man perform ablution in front of her shop.

“And five months into the incident, more than enough time for Governor Ganduje and the Kano State government to have arrived at a closure on that act of bestiality, what did the family get? Just when they were bracing up for a firm prosecution that will lead to conviction, they were treated to the familiar abracadabra that is peculiar to the country’s legal system.

“In what must go down as a classic judicial swindle, the chief magistrate, Muhammad Jibril, acting on the advice of the Attorney General of Kano State through Governor Ganduje discharged the suspects and terminated the case.”
