A middle-aged man, Mr. Emmanuel Ovwarueso, has allegedly killed his daughter and buried her in a nearby bush in Uteh community in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Edo State.

The bubble burst when men of the Edo State Security Network (ESSN), arrested him.

The suspect, Mr. Emmanuel Ovwarueso, said that he killed his daughter for money ritual.

The young man who is popularly known and addressed as Emma One confessed to the ESSN operatives who apprehended him at the Uteh area of the Upper Mission Road Extension, an area where the suspect lives with his family.

Narrating what happened, his wife whose name could not be ascertained as at press time, said “my husband’s attitude changed recently.

“He kept saying I should not look at him like a poor man anymore.

“Even at his place of work, he was buying drinks for everyone as if he was celebrating.

“Even his co-workers were surprised at his new spending style.

“He even told them that his money is very near. We never knew he was having such a dangerous plan”

The vigilante member who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said, “we saw him that Thursday night with a bag, walking so fast like he was rushing to catch up with a flight.

“We stopped him, but he resisted us. We asked what was inside the bag, he said it was his food. So we searched the bag and found a human head inside.

“We interrogated him and from the way he was talking, it was obvious he was hiding something.

“So, we took him to his house and we met his wife tied down. We united her and asked who tied her. She said it was her husband.

“She told us that her husband tied her down with a rope before killing their daughter.

“He took us to the place where he buried the little girl’s body in a shallow grave and the body of the girl was exhumed immediately”, he said.

Some residents of the Uteh community who spoke to NewsTrackToday, said “Emma One” is fond of beating his wife and kids regularly.

Some of his co-workers said he is heartless and loves fighting uncontrollably.

However, the Edo State Police Command image maker, SP Chidi Nwabuzor said he was yet to be briefed about it.

“I am not aware. I will find out and when I do, I will get back to you” , Nwabuzor said.

A video shared online by a male teacher has sparked backlash and led to a debate.

The science teacher, who goes by @thilluminator on social media, took to Instagram and TikTok to share a video of his students unbraiding his hair.

He was at his desk, working on a laptop, while at least 4 girls surrounded him, taking down his braids.

He wrote in the caption: “Students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Teaching is a work of heart. Comment your thoughts.”

Well, the comments were not exactly favourable. Many questioned why female students are unbraiding his hair, and in school of all places.

The video went viral on X as people shared it alongside their opinions.

Most people insisted it was inappropriate while very few people defended the teacher.

Men of the Ogun state police command have arrested a 71-year-old landlord, identified simply as Adesina, for allegedly defiling and impregnating his tenant’s 14-year-old girl (name withheld) at Akegbeyale Street in Ifesowapo Akute, Ifo Local Government Area of the state.

The PUNCH reports that the suspect was caught having sexual intercourse with the victim on April 9, 2024, in the house bathroom.

Police sources said the victim was said to have gone to the bathroom to take a shower when the accused landlord made his way to the bathroom and forced his way on her before he was caught in the act.

After this shocking discovery, some members of the community and other neighbours who witnessed the scene raised the alarm, leading to the arrest of the landlord by the men of the Ajuwon Police Division.

The victim was subsequently taken to the hospital to be tested for any infection and get treated. However, further tests showed she was six weeks pregnant.

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson for the state Police Command, SP Omolola Odutola, said the matter has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, where all parties would be grilled.

“The landlord has been arrested and detained. The father reported that he was caught defiling his 14-year-old daughter in their bathroom in the morning. The teenager was taken to Tamara Hospital in Akute for a medical examination.”

However, the medical report further showed that that wasn’t a first-time act because the test showed that the teenager was already six weeks pregnant.

The state CID in Eleweran will soon take up the matter for further investigation” Odutola said

An Islamic cleric, Ahmed Ojo, has reportedly set fire to his wife’s house in the Egbe Odo area of Isua Ijesa in Ekiti State after she refused to join him in observing a late-night prayer

Speaking with The PUNCH, the wife, Bosede Afolabi, disclosed that the incident happened on April 27 when her husband returned home and requested that they observe a prayer around 11 pm on the said date, a request she declined because she was tired.

Afolabi disclosed that her refusal to participate in the prayer angered her husband, who began causing trouble that prompted her to invite neighbours to appease him.

She further stated that all efforts to make her husband understand that she was tired after a stressful day at work proved futile, and when she realised he was becoming violent, she left the house to sleep at a neighbour’s house.

“At about midnight, a girl from our neighbourhood came to knock on the house to inform us that my house was on fire and that it seemed my husband had set the house on fire,” she narrated.

“I and some neighbours rushed to the scene only to see that the whole building had been engulfed in fire. Before we could get help in putting the fire out, the building had been razed.

“He was later caught and handed over to the police.”

She added that she remarried Ojo after her first husband passed away, and she has been accommodating him since they got married.

When asked if there had been recurring misunderstanding between them, Afolabi said they had no misunderstanding before the incident.

She, however, blamed her husband’s action on the influence of alcohol.

“What I observed that night was that he was drunk, which was why I tried to avoid the escalation of the disagreement that ensued on that fateful day. He often comes home drunk sometimes, but we have not had any serious misunderstanding in the past,” Afolabi noted.

She added that the incident had left her in a devastating situation due to the huge loss it had caused her.

“I have not been myself since the incident happened because of the loss it has caused me. I appeal to Nigerians to come to my aid,” she concluded.

The spokesperson for the State Police Command, Sunday Abutu, who confirmed the incident said that the suspect is under investigation.

“The incident happened. The man has been arrested and he is currently undergoing investigation at the state’s CID,” Abutu added.
