A High Court sitting in Nasarawa State has convicted Fred Ayokhai, a teaching staff of the Federal University of Lafia (FULAFIA) for assaulting a female student, Blessing Mathias.

There was a viral video in October 2022, which revealed how Ayokhai molested Mathias by ripping off his singlet with scissors.

Mathias was also flogged and dropped off naked in the bush.

The police consequently apprehended Ayokhai and his daughter, Emmanuella, who allegedly coordinated the attack on Mathias for “snatching” her lover.

The lecturer was charged with criminal conspiracy, housebreaking, abduction and voluntarily causing grave harm without provocation and assault.

Emmanuella, Bob-Praise and Saint-Dan, all children of Ayokhai were joined in the case as the 2nd, 3rd and 4th defendants.

Although the defendants had pleaded not guilty during the prosecution, AU Idris, their counsel, approached the court with an offer for a plea bargain.

Delivering judgment on Thursday, the presiding judge, Solomon Ayenajeh, convicted the first defendant and sentenced him to six months in jail for criminal conspiracy and another six months for assault.

The charges are to run concurrently.

The judge also said the six months period in which Ayokhai has been in the custody of the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS) will be counted.

Ruling on the offence of the children, the judge said they will spend six months on probation considering their ages.

The judge said they will be punished with keeping the premises of the Nasarawa State High Court clean during their sentence.

Ayenajeh also directed the third defendant, Bob-Praise, to shave his dreadlocks.

In his speech, Ayokhai thanked the judge and parties in the matter for the consideration and the leniency accorded him.

He added that he has taken steps to recompense the victim as part of the plea bargain arrangement.

An elderly Igbo man has died after he was flogged and tortured by his kinsmen.

Mr. Kenneth, aged 60, died in Nza Ozubulu, Anambra State, hours after being brutally tortured.

A video of the assault has been shared online.

It shows two kinsmen flogging his naked body mercilessly while he cried for help and writhed in pain.

Blood, sweat, and tears mixed on his body as they flogged him.

His hands were bound behind him, preventing him from escaping.

“What did I do?” the man asked repeatedly.

The men flogging him told him that he stole.

Another video shows the man lying lifeless later. Dried blood and open wounds designed his entire body.

It was later announced that he has passed on.

Eyewitnesses claim Mr Kenneth was flogged because he allegedly sold a water tank in his family house and used the money to solve family issues.

Subsequently, his younger brother allegedly arrested him with a vigilante group. He was tortured for hours and died in the process.

Concerned Nigerians have called on the state governor and the police to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice.

They are also calling on the government to protect his bereaved wife and children who are being intimidated in their efforts to seek justice for Mr Kenneth.

Here is an uncensored video of the attack.

A young man allegedly shot his friend dead for taking a bite out of his girlfriend’s burger in Pakistan, an investigation has concluded.

Suspect Daniyal Nazeer, named as the son of retired Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Nazir Ahmed Mirbahar, is believed to have attacked his friend as an argument broke out at the accused’s house in Karachi.

An inquiry into the events of February 8 concluded on Wednesday that Ali Keerio, the son of a sessions judge, was likely shot with a guard’s rifle after brazenly daring to take a large chunk out of Nazeer’s girlfriend’s burger.

The accused was reported to have ordered two ‘zinger burgers’ for himself and his partner, Shazia, before Nazeer was sent into a rage over his friend’s indiscretion.

Keerio sustained ‘severe injuries’ after being shot, per local media, and succumbed to his wounds on the way to hospital.

Following a probe lasting more than two months, investigators concluded that the police officer’s son had likely lashed out over the burger incident.

‘Daniyal got into a serious fight with Ali over why he ate half of the burger without permission which was ordered for his girlfriend Shazia,’ the investigating officer confirmed, as reported by The Week.

‘We have arrested the accused and he is in jail pending trial,’ the officer added.

Ali Keerio was locally named as the son of Karachi District South sessions judge Javed Keerio.
