Click banner for more info

Based on reports I acquired this morning from students of Obafemi Awolowo University, a lady student of the college gave birth in the Moremi Hostel hall toilet and attempted to flush the infant but was caught my the hall cleaners. They say the girl's name is Oyin ( surname unknown  for now) and she's a 400l student of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The incident happened very early this morning. Based on students of the college who sent in the photo, a cleaner heard a baby crying inside among the toilet stalls and then saw blood originating from underneath the door.

She quickly went to call other cleaners around and they forced the door open. Once the cleaners entered the toilet they saw the student pouring water within the closet, the infant turned ugly, with the head within the closet. Among the women dipped her hand inside and removed the baby...A boy, who had been still quite definitely alive but bleeding from the nose. The cleaners called school management who rushed both your ex and the infant to Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital for treatment. The placenta fell while they were rushing the girl to the hospital.

I personally think this inhuman behavior deserve to face maximum jail terms for attempted murder.

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has said that all the illiterate traditional rulers in their state would be given the chance to visit school to improve their ability to supply robust service with their people through the Community Government Council (CGC).

According to the governor, a programme would be introduced next season in tertiary institutions to aid illiterate traditional rulers to obtain basic knowledge in governance.

A tipper allegedly on top speed, on Thursday crushed to death a 16 year old girl, Moridiyat Abdullateef, in Ilorin, Kwara State.

The victim was said to be a Senior Secondary One student of Government Girls Day Secondary School, Oke Suna, Ilorin.  Our correspondent learnt that Moridiyat  had gone to fetch water for her grand-father before going to school.
