Security operatives comprising the Nigeria Police, Department of State Services, DSS, Nigeria Security & Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Edo State Security Network (local vigilante), as early as 7:30am occupied the Benin Museum Park venue meant for the one year EndSARS memorial in Benin, the Edo State capital.

Benin Museum Park is located at Oba Ovoramwem Square popularly called Ring Road, located at the centre of Benin City.

As the time of filing this report, the compined security operatives were strategically positioned at major routes that lead to the park, centre of Benin City.

No fewer than nine routes from different parts of the city link to the Museum Park.

At the main entrance to the Museum Park (Forestry Route), four security Hilux were parked at the time of filing this report.

Also, operation Wabaizgan (combined security outfit comprising Police, DSS, NSCDC in Edo State) vehicles were parked at other strategic locations of the City such as at the front of the state House of Assembly, Ekewan Road, etc. Other security vehicles were also parked at other locations around the Museum Park.

Meanwhile there was mild drama at the entrance of the Museum Park that could have led to infraction between security operatives especially the local vigilantes and members of the civil society organistions but was averted by a senior police officer’s intervention who pleaded for a calm.

Trouble started when one of the CSO members was about driving into the Museum Park but was stopped by one of the local vigilantes who closed the gate and requested the occupants to come down from the vehicle.

This angered the CSO member who came down from the vehicle and was almost exchanging blows with the local vigilante man.

He was irked by vigilante’s request because the person inside the car of whom the vigilante asked to come down is a victim of EndSARS.

He was reportedly amputated after security operatives reportedly rammed into him and others during the protest last year in Auchi, Edo State.

A 19-year-old man arraigned before Mutawatawa magistrate on charges of having sexual intercourse with his 14-year-old sister in Uzumba, Zimbabwe, has been convicted.

It was gathered that in January 2023, the 19-year-old man decided to take things a notch up bizarrely as he chatted with his sister. He asked his sister to be his girlfriend. Strangely, the 14-year-old admitted to feeling the same way for her brother.

The two decided to hit it off and start dating. They decided to keep their relationship under wraps, knowing how much trouble it would attract if ever known.

During their relationship, the 19-year-old man convinced his sister to have sex with him. She agreed, and the two did the act on different occasions, both at home and in the garden. However, the girl later got pregnant and this was noticed by their grandmother.

Upon being questioned, she revealed her brother was responsible. The grandmother reported the case to the police, leading to the 19-year-old man’s arrest for incest. He appeared in a Mutawatawa Court, where the Magistrate sentenced him to 14 months in jail. Two months were struck off, and he will serve an effective 12 months.

A 75-year-old barber, Nwankwo Nweke has been arrested for defiling an 8-year-old girl in Awka, the Anambra State capital.

The suspect, who hails from Isi Agu in Awka South Local Government Area of the state, confessed to the crime, claiming that ‘temptation that made him have carnal knowledge of the girl.’

The suspect pleaded for mercy and promised to be of good behaviour if the state government pardoned him.

The parents of the victim, Mr John and Mrs Ogochukwu Ugwuanyi explained that they sent their child to get something at a nearby shop around 7pm. When she came back they noticed the items weren’t complete and asked her to return to the shop after which they started looking for her.

The parents stated that they quickly went to the shop to look for her but didn’t see her which prompted them to raise alarm over her sudden disappearance in the neighborhood.

Unknown to them, the suspect had already taken her to his house and told her not to answer her name.

They revealed that the suspect, who at the time was their neighbour, pushed the 8-year-old out of his room when he felt the search was over.

On how they knew what transpired between their daughter and the suspect, Mr and Mrs Ugwuanyi said that when their daughter finally came back that night, they questioned her to know what happened.

She told them that the suspect lured her to his house with a promise to give her mango.

They noted that it was at that point that they involved security operatives before taking their child to the hospital.
