My Husband Took Our Children To Joints, They Now Roll Paper, Light And Smoke, Woman Tells Court

A woman, Mumuni, has dragged her husband, Isiaka, before Grade A Customary Court, sitting at Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, alleging that he was irresponsible, always drank himself to a stupor, and smoked like a chimney.

Mumuni stated that she worked hard to sustain their home because Isiaka shirked his responsibilities towards her and their children.

The plaintiff stated that the defendant was a regular face at beer parlours and joints.

She further said that her husband, when in the company of his friends, would drink cartons of beer and smoke packets of cigarettes.

According to Mumuni, Isiaka’s day was made any time he drank himself to a stupor.

She added that she found it worrisome that her husband could take their children who are both males along with him to beer parlours and joints, not minding the negative influence such places would have on them.

According to the plaintiff, their children, after watching their father drinking alcohol and his friends smoking Indian hemp, on getting home, would roll paper, ignite it and smoke.

Mumuni further said she walked out of their marriage when she could no longer tolerate her husband’s disgraceful lifestyle.

According to Mumuni, Isiaka had always complained of the paucity of funds any time she demanded allowance for their children’s upkeep and took to threatening her.

The plaintiff thus pleaded for their children’s custody and further entreated the court to make her husband responsible for their children’s upkeep, giving feeding, education, and health care a priority.

Isiaka refused to make an appearance in court despite being served court summonses.

Mumuni, in her testimony, said, “I started living with my husband a few months after we met.

“We did not hold a wedding ceremony, neither did he pay my bride price.

“It was too late before I realised that my husband was a drunk.

“He, in addition, smokes like chimney.

“My husband, rather than stay back at home and enjoy my company and that of our children, would prefer to be in the company of his friends at beer parlours and joints.

“I felt disappointed and uncomfortable living with him.

“I worked round the clock to make ends meet because my husband passed the bulk of his duties in the home to me.

“He never gave me a dime for food and was always complaining of a paucity of funds, but he had more than enough cash to spend on alcohol and cigarettes.

“The more I complained, the worse he got.

“My husband’s behaviour became more disturbing when he started taking our children who are both males along with him to beer parlours and joints.

“These watch him take alcoholic drinks and smoke cigarettes.

“They also see his friends smoke Indian hemp.

“Our children now immitate his friends who smoke Indian hemp.

“I have caught them roll paper, ignite it, and smoke.

“I moved out of our matrimonial home when I could no longer stomach my husband’s misbehaviour.

“He has refused to be up to his responsibilities towards our children.

“He gave our children feeding allowance after I came to court.

“He has since then taken to threatening me.

“I pray this honourable court to end our relationship.

“I also plead for our children’s custody while my husband is made to be responsible for their upkeep giving feeding, education, and health care a priority.

“I further request an order restraining him from threatening and interfering with my private life.”

The court president, Mrs S.M. Akintayo, adjourned the case.

She ordered that a fresh hearing notice be issued and served the defendant.

…He chose to take care of me despite knowing I have another man —Woman

For nine months, a 27-year-old man of Lusaka’s Kanyama compound, Zambia, lived with excitement as he prepared to become a father.

Timothy Banda was convinced that his girlfriend, 22-year-old Tina Kabonde, was carrying his child and out of love, he supported her throughout the nine months of pregnancy.

Banda worked tirelessly to ensure his suppose baby had clothes, baby items and even gave Kabonde money to make sure she was comfortable throughout.

However, Banda did not know that the story he was told was far from the truth.

According to Real Times, just a month after the baby was born, Banda’s world came crashing down when he saw another man at Kabonde’s house, carrying groceries and baby supplies.

When Banda asked Kabonde who the man was, Kabonde and her family confessed that the baby Banda had been preparing for was not his.

Heartbroken and angry, Banda decided to take the matter to the Kanyama local court where he demanded that Kabonde and her family repay him all he spent on her.

“I do not want to argue with this family. They are heartless. All I want is for them to give me back the money I spent on the child,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kabonde told the court that she never told Banda the pregnancy was his but claimed he chose to help her out of his own will because he wanted to marry her.

“He knew I had another man. He is just upset because I refused to marry him,” she defended herself.

When the case was heard before the magistrate, Esther Mulomba, the court found that Kabonde had acted unfairly by accepting Banda’s help while knowing the child belonged to another man.

The court ordered Kabonde to compensate Banda for all the money he spent during her pregnancy.

Nollywood Actor, Baba Ijesha, Released From Prison After Three Years

Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, has regained freedom after spending more than three years in prison following his conviction for sexually assaulting a minor.

The development was disclosed by actor Yomi Fabiyi, who announced that Baba Ijesha had completed the legal processes leading to his release.

His release comes after a Court of Appeal decision that set aside aspects of the earlier judgment delivered by the Lagos State High Court, which had sentenced him to 16 years’ imprisonment in July 2022.

Fabiyi also stated that the appellate court cleared the actor of allegations relating to defilement while criticising the conduct of individuals involved in the initial case.

The actor further raised concerns about discrepancies surrounding the age of the victim, allegations of misconduct by persons connected to the matter, and the handling of evidence.

He argued that several actions taken during the investigation and trial contributed to what he described as selective justice.

He wrote, “You are now officially FREE AND OUT. Baba jesha is not just back but BETTER. I am also happy you were cleared by the APPEAL COURT of ever having sex/defile any child/minor. The 7-year-old story is a charade.

“We live in a terrible world, where sentiments and wickedness rise above the rule of law and truth.

“Let it be on record that:

“1. Those that SET THE TRAP engaged in age falsification (because there was no single proof till date anywhere, not even in court that said victim was 14yrs). To me, they only weaponised abuse on child/minor to destroy a weak target and achieve vendetta.”

He alleged that those who sexually abused this girl since 2020 are still out there, claiming one Damola Adekola confirmed the girl was his girlfriend and was asked to walk free despite initially being arrested alongside Baba ljesha.

“Make it make sense: same case, same victim, same investigation.

“3. Princess Comedian groomed the girl (minor) for sexual activities. This is coupled with negligence because sperm was found on the girl days after Baba ljesha was arrested, and it is not for Baba ljesha. Test conformed she recently lost her virginity then.

“4. Princess Comedian and her co-travellers engaged in CHILD PORNOGRAPHY by deliberately installing cameras on the same day Baba ljesha was invited to film. She recorded how her foster daughter was sexually abused (THAT IS IF THE GIRL IS TRULY 14YRS).

“5. Princess Comedian subjected the girl to re-truama. She practically wants the girl to suffer PTSD just because she wants to gather evidence (THAT IS IF THE GIRL IS TRULY 14YRS). She abused the rights of the girl because she relied on her for food, shelter, and guidance.

“6. Etc

“We, as a Human Rights Organization, never and will never condone or support any form of sexual abuse, let alone on children or minors.

“We will continue to fight against selective justice, abuse of fundamental human rights of any persons, and fight against organised crime like in the case of Baba ljesha.

“Prerequisites for Princess Comedian actions are errored. It has no propensity in law. Justice on two left.”

The Madina District Court II in Greater Accra has sentenced two Nigerian nationals to 12 months imprisonment each for attempting to obtain Ghana Cards using false identities.

The convicts, identified as Ike Isaac, also known as Alex Kwesi Brown Appiah, aged 20, and Emmanuel Innocent Egbe, also known as Innocent Emmanuel Kodom, aged 24, were found guilty of providing false information to registration officials of the National Identification Authority (NIA) and possessing forged documents in Ghana.

The court, presided over by Susana Nyakotey, convicted the two after a full trial on Friday, November 7, 2025, on charges of Providing False Information to Ghanaian National Identification Registration Officials, contrary to Section 40(1)(a) of the National Identity Register Act, 2008 (Act 750), and Possessing Forged Documents, contrary to Section 166 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29) in Ghana.

Under the judgment, both offenders were sentenced to 12 months imprisonment for providing false information and 13 months for possessing forged documents, with the sentences to run concurrently.

They are to serve the sentences in Ghanaian prison but the court also ordered that they be deported to Nigeria immediately after serving their prison terms. The convicts have since been handed over to the Nsawam Prisons Authority to begin their sentences.

In a statement, the National Identification Authority (NIA) commended the Ghana Police Service, the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Unit attached to the NIA, and the Office of the Attorney-General for their collaboration and support in securing the convictions.

The Authority said the successful prosecution demonstrates its resolve to uphold the sanctity of the Ghana Card registration system, which serves as the single credible source of identity for all lawful residents in Ghana.

“This conviction reaffirms our commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the Ghana Card registration process as the single credible source of identity for all lawful residents.

The NIA cautioned that false information, impersonation, and the use of forged documents constitute serious criminal offences,” the statement said.

It further assured the public that it would continue to work closely with security and judicial agencies to detect, investigate, and prosecute offenders who attempt to undermine the system.

The NIA reminded the public that the Ghana Card is not only a national identity document but also the foundation for government services, financial transactions, and national security, stressing that maintaining its credibility remained a collective responsibility.
