An Anambra orphan, Victoria Mbachu, on Friday, told an Nnobi Chief Magistrate Court in Idemili South local government area of the state that she and her children have become homeless following the destruction of her father’s house by a native doctor, Chijioke Okaa.

Okaa and Mbachu’s boyfriend, Olufemi Salako, are standing trial for tricking the orphan to sign documents for her land on the pretext that they would pay her N10 million and build a house for her, which they have failed to do.

Mbachu, who was testifying under cross-examination, said although she earlier sold a small portion of land near her house to the native doctor, he later connived with her boyfriend, Salako, who asked her to sell all the land to Okaa.

She said that because of Okaa’s failure to pay for the land and build a house for her as promised, she decided to sell her land to Mr. Bonaventure Ezekwenna, a Nigerian based in the United States of America, USA, who paid her N10 million.

She said that as it stands, she has no place to call her home.

“Okaa destroyed my house in the village and he is building on the land and I now live in the hotel in Awka being paid for by a benefactor, with my children,” she said.

She told the court that it was never her intention to relocate from Nnobi.

Asked if she was aware that Okaa also paid N10 million to her aunt, Mrs. Uchenna Mkpajigide, Mbachu said such a thing never happened.

“I’m not aware that he paid my aunt N10m before he knocked down my house before he started building on the land.

“I’m also not aware that my aunt signed a document for Okaa and I know that my aunt won’t do that,” she said.

Your cabinet too bogus for distressed economy, Tinubu told
She said that her aunt is married and has a son and therefore has no reason to be selling her brother’s land.

Matero Local Court, Zambia, has heard how a woman from Chisamba, sexually starved her husband for four years, after he failed to pay her K3,000 she charged him for having a child out of wedlock.

According to Zambia Observer, Sophia Kwale, 32, a teacher by profession, said in line with her tradition, as admission of guilt for having a child, her husband, Samuel Chongo, 38, was supposed to pay her the money commonly known as ‘ndapusa’ (admission of guilt).

“In my tradition, when a man has a child outside wedlock, he is supposed to apologise by paying ndapusa.

“This can be in money or material form.

“I asked him to pay me K3,000 only or he wasn’t going to have sex with me,” she said.

Sophia said her husband later refused to pay ndapusa but wanted to have sex with her, so she charged him K500 which he paid instantly before she allowed him to engage in the act.

“I charged him K500 to make love with me and he paid it instantly.

“This was only last month. Before that, we last had sex in 2021.

“I didn’t even enjoy the sex because it was forced,” she said.

Ekiti State government has dismissed the Surgeon who had primary responsibility for the surgery of a patient whose kidneys were removed from the service of the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH) with immediate effect.

This followed the submission of the report of the 7-man investigation panel chaired by Professor Francis Faduyile to the Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Dr Oyebanji Filani.

Recall the panel was constituted 11 days ago to investigate the claim made by a patient, Mr. Joshua Afolayan regarding a surgical procedure he underwent at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH).

According to a statement by Filani, “Upon careful review of the report and its recommendations, the Ekiti State government has approved the following actions:

“That the surgeon who had primary responsibility for the surgery is to be dismissed from the service of the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH) with immediate effect.

“All members of the surgical team present in the theatre on the day of the operation are to be suspended from duty for a period of one month, pending further administrative review.

“The Ekiti State government will bear the full cost of a new kidney transplant for Afolayan, will take responsibility for his post-transplant care as well as transplant related medical maintenance for a period of two years.

“In line with the recommendations of the panel, a comprehensive reorganisation of relevant departments within EKSUTH will be undertaken to strengthen clinical governance, accountability, and patient safety.”

Filani said that while the Ekiti State government continues to stand firmly behind the many dedicated and hardworking health professionals at EKSUTH and acknowledges their sacrifices and commitment to service, it would not hesitate to take decisive action where professional standards are breached.

“The government remains resolute in its commitment to protecting patients, upholding ethical and professional standards in healthcare delivery, and restoring and sustaining public confidence in the Ekiti State health system.

“Necessary reforms will be pursued to ensure that incidents of this nature do not re-occur and that EKSUTH continues to serve as a centre of excellence in patient care.

“We thank the people of Ekiti State for their patience, and trust, and we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to continued improvement in quality health care, compassion, and responsible governance.”
