An Area Court at Center-Igboro, Ilorin in Kwara, on Friday, dissolved the marriage between Majeed Suleiman and Ganiyat Suleiman over his wife’s adultery.
The presiding Judge, AbdulKadir Ahmed said after carefully listening to the two parties, the court noticed that there was frustration in the attitude of the petitioner, the husband while the respondent showed a nonchalant attitude.
According to Ahmed, divorce is not something to hurriedly conclude but in a situation when the petitioner insisted and behaved like he could no longer tolerate his partner, divorce should be considered.

The judge, therefore, dissolved the marriage between the petitioner and the respondent and ordered that the respondent observe her three-month Iddah period in her matrimonial home.
He also ruled that a divorce certificate should not be issued to the respondent until she observed all the necessary steps of the divorce and the petitioner should continue to perform his responsibility to her.
Earlier, the petitioner told the court that his wife was having an extramarital affair, over seven years, adding that he could no longer tolerate her.
“I am only in court because I don’t want to put laws into my hands or beat her mercilessly or even drag her roughly out of the house.

“I can no longer tolerate my wife having extramarital affairs, especially considering the age of our kids; 9, 12 and 15 years old,” he said.
The respondent, however, said she was still interested in the relationship and insisted on remaining with her kids in her matrimonial home.
She said she tried to settle the issue with the petitioner but he refused and still contacted his relatives but did not know whether they talked to him about it or not.

The Anambra State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of five suspected members of a notorious armed robbery and kidnapping syndicate, including a confessed deserter of the Nigerian Army, in Awka, the state capital.
According to a statement issued on Thursday by the Public Relations Officer of the Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the operation was carried out on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) in Awkuzu.
Ikenga said the operation was carried out after the Command received intelligence on the abduction of a farmer at Isiagu, Awka.
The victim was reportedly released after an undisclosed amount of ransom was paid.
The police spokesperson said that, acting on credible intelligence, police operatives stormed the gang’s hideout at Notoko, Awka, leading to the arrest of the confessed deserter soldier and four other suspects.
Ikenga identified the suspects as 38-year-old Dominic Oraz, a confessed deserter of the Nigerian Army; 30-year-old Michael Nwobodo; 29-year-old Eze Friday; 23-year-old Uche Okolo, and 29-year-old Chinedu Gilbert.
“Exhibits recovered from the suspects include six automatic pump-action guns, 63 rounds of live cartridges, one microscope, five machetes, one military cap, two police teargas canisters, handcuffs, a robber’s rocket launcher, criminal charms, three Motorola walkie-talkies, one jack knife, one power bank and cash sum of N26,000,” Ikenga stated.
He said that during interrogation, Oraz admitted abandoning the military in November 2024.

Members of the Neighbourhood Watch in Amagu Iwollo Oghe community, Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State, have allegedly beaten a young man, Mr. Nosike Madueke, popularly known as Wojuwo, to death over a false theft allegation.
Community sources told SaharaReporters that the vigilante group was led by the Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the community, Mr. Chukwuebuka Hillary Ngwueche, also known as Osuofia.
According to one of the sources, the incident occurred on Monday, August 25, 2025, when the local security men attacked Madueke with “dangerous weapons” after he was accused of stealing a box of clothes belonging to Mrs. Nneka Nwankwo.
The source explained that Nwankwo had earlier hired Madueke and his co-workers to repair or dig her septic tank and soakaway, but later raised an alarm claiming her box of clothes had gone missing.

“Instead of handing Madueke over to the appropriate authority, especially the police, they decided to jointly and severally take the laws into their respective hands by arresting Madueke, dragging him to his house for a search, bringing out his clothes, and burning all the clothes,” the source said.
“They tied Madueke on both his hands and legs and started profusely, taking turns by using offensive weapons such as guns, machetes, and irons, to beat him up till he died.”
“This happened in public at Iwollo Oghe Square. How can a trained CSO and his men kill a whole human being on a mere allegation by a woman of stealing her cloth, which was later found,” the source said.
“The young boy was from Imeziolo, Ezeagu LGA of Enugu State.”

According to another source, this marks the third time residents of Iwollo Oghe, either directly or through its purported security outfits, have been linked to the killing of people from the deceased’s community.
“Sometime in 1987, they shot Hyacinth Adinde with a gun and asked the people of Madueke community to do their worst.
“Also, years later, they killed Engr. Christopher Aniagbaoso, and yet they asked the people of the community to do their worst.
“The people of Iwollo Oghe are in the habit of killing the people of Imeziolo on mere suspicious grounds,” the source alleged.

“We call on the Enugu State command to do justice to this case as information reaching us revealed that the men are on the run after killing the young boy,” the source added.
A video obtained by SaharaReporters showed the deceased being beaten with sticks by men believed to be members of the Neighbourhood Watch, who were seen parading him along a community road.
Moments later in the footage, his lifeless body appeared on the ground, surrounded by residents, some of whom lamented, “See how they killed somebody’s only son for nothing.”

According to a source, the case has since been reported to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) of the Enugu State Police Command.
However, repeated attempts by SaharaReporters to obtain the reaction of the Police Command were unsuccessful.
Calls to the mobile phone of the Command’s spokesperson, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, went unanswered, and a WhatsApp message sent to him also received no response as of the time of filing this report.
