AirNigeria CEO, Kinfe Kahssaye Resigns at last
Kinfe Kahssaye, the Chief Executive Officer of AirNigeria,
has resigned from the troubled airline.
It was learnt that Mr. Kahssaye finally decided to step down
yesterday after discovering that the airline was unlikely to return to
business.
Air Nigeria has been dogged by huge debts owed to commercial
banks by its owner, Jimoh Ibrahim.
Mr. Ibrahim, a businessman with a reputation for taking over
well-known businesses and then running them aground, has been unable to meet
his airline’s obligations to service providers in Nigeria and around the world.
*Kahssaye |
A source at the grounded airline told SaharaReporters that
Mr. Ibrahim’s inability to provide funds to get the last two planes in the
airline’s fleet airworthy led to Mr. Kahssaye’s decision to resign his
appointment yesterday.
Mr. Kahssaye recently returned from trips to the US and the
UK. A source disclosed that the overseas trips were a desperate attempt to
revive the comatose AirNigeria. “He found out during the trips that the dream
of saving the airline is a hopeless one,” said our source.
The virtual collapse of the airline adds to the business
woes of its owner, Mr. Ibrahim. The shady businessman is also embroiled in a
public and legal feud with the original directors and founders of Newswatch,
Nigeria’s premier news magazine.
*Jimoh Ibrahim |
After acquiring controlling stakes in the magazine, Mr.
Ibrahim made a bizarre decision to shut it down. The original founders,
including the magazine’s CEO Ray Ekpu, accused Mr. Ibrahim of fraud, asserting
that he had not paid the agreed sum for his majority stake in the weekly
publication. The Newswatch case is right now in court.
Recently, Mr. Ibrahim unilaterally fired majority of workers
at the airline with due process, the workers in turn embarked on street
protests to push back against the businessman.
SaharaReporters learnt today that Mr. Ibrahim’s workers at
his Abuja NICON Luxury Hotels are gearing up for a protest tomorrow in Abuja
over poor conditions of service and non-payments of wages.
Mr. Kinfe is owed five months of unpaid wages according to
insiders knowledgeable about his resignation.
Cross River legislators march through Calabar streets in protest against FG stance on ICJ judgment on Bakassi.
Following the decision of the Federal Government not to appeal
the judgment of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the ceding of the
oil-rich Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon, Cross River legislators have marched
through Calabar streets protesting what they called the federal government’s
attitude to their loss of heritage.
It would be recalled that the Federal Government had last
night declared that it will not appeal the judgment of the International Court
of Justice (ICJ) on the ceding of the oil-rich Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon.
The government had said the case will be diplomatically
damaging.
The decision not to appeal the case was communicated in a
statement by Attorney General of the Federation Mohammed Adoke.
The nation’s number one law officer said after consultations
locally and with an international firm, he decided not to explore the window of
appeal because “an application for a review is virtually bound to fail.”
Besides, a failed application for review by Nigeria “will be
diplomatically damaging to Nigeria”.
The government’s position reflects The Nation’s exclusive
story last Friday that the government had decided not to appeal the ruling. It
was a day that many newspapers reported that government had decided to appeal
the judgement.
Government said yesterday that it did not have any new
evidence to enable it successfully challenge the judgment.
The full text of the Attorney general’s statement is as
follows:
“It will be recalled that on 10th October 2002, the
International Court of Justice (ICJ) delivered judgment in Land and Maritime
Boundary between Cameroon and Nigeria, which covers about 2000 kilometres
extending from Lake Chad to the Sea. It will also be recalled that before the
judgment was delivered, President Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR of Nigeria and
President Paul Biya of the Republic of Cameroon gave their respective
undertaking to the international community to abide by the judgment of the
Court.
“The commitment and undertakings given by both Heads of
Government were confirmed by the establishment of the Cameroon-Nigeria Mixed
Commission (CNMC) pursuant to the Joint Communiqué adopted at a Summit Meeting
on 15 November 2002 in Geneva. The CNMC is composed of the representatives of
Cameroon, Nigeria and the United Nations and is chaired by the Special
Representative of the United Nations Secretary General for West Africa.
“The CNMC has held 29 Sessions since its inception and has
peacefully, amicably and successfully:
(a) brought Cameroon and Nigeria back to negotiation table;
(b) supervised the handing over of 33 ceded villages to
Cameroon and 1 to Nigeria in December, 2003 and received 3 settlements and
territory in Adamawa and Borno States Sectors from Cameroon in 2004;
(c) initiated the Enugu-Abakiliki-Mamfe-Mutengene Road
project as part of the confidence building measures between the two countries;
(d) supervised peaceful withdrawal of Civil Administration,
Military and Police Forces and transfer of authority in the Bakassi Peninsula
by Nigeria to Cameroon in 2008 in line with the modalities contained in the
Greentree Agreement signed by Cameroon and Nigeria in 2006 which the United
Nations, Germany, USA, France, UK and Northern Ireland witnessed; and
(e) commenced the emplacement of boundary beacons/pillars
along the land boundary and initiated final mapping of the whole stretch of the
boundary. It is instructive to note that about 1800 kilometres of the boundary
have so far been assessed for Pillar Emplacement leaving only about 220 km to
complete the assessment of the entire boundary.
“The Greentree Agreement was also signed by H. E. Paul Biya,
and President President Olusegun Obasanjo GCFR, on 12 June, 2006, in Long
Island, Greentree, New York, USA; reaffirming their willingness to peacefully
implement the judgment of the ICJ. The Agreement contains the modalities for
withdrawal and transfer of authority in the Bakassi Peninsula by Nigeria to
Cameroon in pursuance of the ICJ Judgment.The Follow-Up Committee comprising
representatives of Nigeria and Cameroon wasestablished to monitor the
implementation of the Agreement and settle any dispute regarding the
interpretation and implementation of the Agreement. Nigeria handed over the
Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon in 2008.
“The Statute of the International Court of Justice provides
that the Judgment of the Court is final and without appeal. However, following
the resolutions of both Houses of the National Assembly calling on the
Executive to take steps to apply for a review of the judgment, President
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan called a Stakeholders meeting comprising the leadership
of the National Assembly, the Governors of Akwa Ibom and Cross River States,
the Members of the National Assembly from both States, the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, the Attorney General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Director General,
National Boundary Commission to review the situation.
“The Stakeholders Meeting after due deliberations
constituted a Committee comprising the Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, the Attorney General of the Federation, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Director General, National Boundary Commission and Members of the
National Assembly namely: Senator Victor Ndoma Egba, Dr. Ali Ahmed and Nnena
Ukaje to examine the issues in contention and available options for Nigeria
including, but not limited to the application for review of the ICJ Judgment,
appropriate political and diplomatic solutions.
“Although the judgment of the ICJ is final and not subject
to appeal, the ICJ Statute provides for circumstances under which its judgment
can be reviewed. The relevant provisions are:
(a) Article 61 (1) which provides that the Court can review
its judgment upon the discovery of some fact of such a nature as to be a
decisive factor, which fact was, when the judgment was given, unknown to the
court and also to the party claiming revision, always provided that such
ignorance was due not to negligence;
(b) Article 61 (4) which stipulates that application for
revision must be made at least within six months of the discovery of the new
fact, and
(c) Article 61(5), which provide that no application for
revision may be made after the lapse of 10 years from the date of the judgment.
“The implication of the above provisions of the ICJ Statute
is that a case for revision of the judgment of the court can only be successful
if:
(a) the application for revision is based on the discovery
of a new fact;
(b) the fact must have existed prior to the delivery of the
judgment;
(c) the newly discovered fact must be of a decisive nature;
and
(d) the party seeking revision (Nigeria) and the Court, must
not have known of the fact at the time of the delivery of the judgment.
“The Committee proceeded to examine the case for revision
against the requirements of Article 61 of the ICJ Statute and was constrained
to observe from the oral presentations made to it by the proponents of the
revision that the strict requirements of Article 61 could not be satisfied.
This is because theirpresentation was unable to show that Nigeria has
discovereda decisive fact that was unknown to her before the ICJ judgment,
which is capable of swaying the Court to decide in its favour.This is more so as
most of the issues canvassed in support of the case for a revision of the ICJ
judgment had been canvassed and pronounced upon by the ICJ in its 2002
judgment.
“The Federal Government also retained a firm of
international legal practitioners to advise on the merits and demerits of the
case for revision. The firm after considering all the materials that were
placed at its disposal against the requirements of Article 61 of the ICJ
Statute came to the reasoned conclusion that “an application for a review is virtually
bound to fail” and that “a failed application will be diplomatically damaging
to Nigeria”.
11. In view of the foregoing, the Federal Government is of
the informed view that with less than two days to the period when the revision
will be statute barred (October 9, 2012), it would be impossible for Nigeria to
satisfy the requirements of Articles 61(1) -(5) of the ICJ Statute.Government
has therefore decided that it will not be in the national interest to apply for
revision of the 2002 ICJ Judgment in respect of the Land and Maritime Boundary
between Cameroon and Nigeria.
“Government is however concerned about the plight of
Nigerians living in the Bakassi Peninsula and the allegations of human rights
abuses being perpetrated against Nigerians in the Peninsula and is determined
to engage Cameroon within the framework of the existing implementation
mechanisms agreed to by Nigeria and Cameroon in order to protect the rights and
livelihoods of Nigerians living in the Peninsula. Nigeria will also not relent
in seeking appropriate remedies provided by international law such as the
invocation of the compulsory jurisdiction of the ICJ; Petitioning the United
Nations Human Rights Council and good offices of the United Nations Secretary
General which has played pivotal role in ensuring the peaceful demarcation and
delimitation of the boundary between the two countries and other confidence
building measures and calls on the United Nations to continue to provide
assistance to the affected populations.
“Finally the Federal Government wishes to assure all
Nigerians especially the people living in the Bakassi Peninsula of its
determination to explore all avenues necessary to protect their interests
including but not limited to negotiations aimed at buying back the territory,
if feasible, the convening of bilateral meeting of the Heads of State and
Government to ensure protection and development of the affected population. In
the meantime, we call on all well meaning Nigerians in the Bakassi peninsula to
be law abiding and to allow the various initiatives being undertaken by the
Federal Government to bear fruitful results.”
Woman arraigned for ‘bathing her friend with pepper’
A 27-year-old woman, Patience Edet, has been charged before
an Ejigbo Magistrate’s Court with allegedly bathing her friend, Rose Agali, 26,
with pepper.
The accused is facing a two count-charge of assault and
breach of peace, punishable under Section 171 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos,
2011.
Prosecuting Corporal Oladejo Balogun told the court that the

beat her up. The complainant was injured and rushed to a hospital.
Rose who told the court that she went out that fateful day,
said she did not know Patience had ground pepper and was waiting for her
return.
She said she was shocked when the substance was poured on
her by the accused who also beat her up, knocking off one of her teeth.
The accused pleaded not guilty and was granted N50,000 bail,
with one surety in the like sum by Magistrate M.B. Folami, who adjourned the
matter till November 14.
Robbers kill ASP in Lagos, as police parades 130 hoodlums
An Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) and an Inspector
fell yesterday under robbers’ bullets in new Oko-Oba, Agege, a Lagos suburb.
The Police Command claimed last night that two robbers were also killed.
The officers reportedly displayed rare bravery as they
engaged the robbers despite their superior firepower.
It was gathered that four policemen were on patrol around
2am when they sighted; a Hilux pick-up and two Toyota Sienna buses which they
mistook for their Area Commander’s.
Police sources said they parked as a mark of honour for
their presumed boss, only to be at from the vehicles.
The ASP and the Inspector, who were said to have taken cover
behind the patrol van, returned fire.
Source said the robbers hit the ASP in the leg and he fell
down and the robbers riddled his body with bullets.
The Inspector was also gunned down; the others, a Sergeant
and a Corporal, escaped.
The Nation learnt that a reinforcement arrived at the scene
after the robbers had fled.
Another version of the incident said the patrol team was on
its way to respond to a distress call when the bandits, who were in three
vehicles, opened fire on them at Paying Junction near Olaniyi street.
Police spokesperson Ngozi Braide confirmed the death of the
police officers, adding that two of the robbers were also killed. The command
has arrested 130 suspected members of a robbery syndicate known as “One Million
Boys.”
A few weeks ago, residents of Ajegunle sent a distress call
to the Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, on the gang, which they claimed has
been terrorising the suburb.
The suspects were brought into the Command Headquarters in a
Black Maria and two commercial vehicles.
Weapons recovered from them included five live ammunition,
two double barrel guns, and 10 machetes.
Parading the suspects, Manko said their arrest was the
fulfillment of his promise to get them.
Their arrest, he said, followed a raid of night clubs, a hotel,
and Boundary in Ajegunle. He said a bag of weed suspected to be Indian hemp,
one pistol, and a gun accessory were recovered. Manko assured the residents
that the police would not relent until all the hoodlums are flushed out.
Some of the suspects claimed the “real armed robbers” ran
away during the raid, denying that they are not members of the notorious gang.
A suspect, Onyekachi Amaechi, said the gun recovered from
his compound belongs to a gang member he identified as Sanni. He said Sanni
kept the gun there while on the run. According to him, residents that do not
have “reasonable amount” risk torture, maiming, and raping by the gang.
Emmanuel Monday, 17, and Jude Ifegun 18, both residents of
Ladiga Street, denied being members of the gang. They claimed they were
arrested because they kept late night.

Police Arrest 11 Mubi Poly Students In Uyo
Eleven students of Akwa Ibom origin studying at the Federal
Polytechnic, Mubi in Adamawa were arrested on Monday at Government House, Uyo
by men of the the state police command.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the students
numbering more 50 had gathered at the entrance of Government House with
placards.
They wanted to draw the attention of the state governor to
the plight of their colleagues in Adamawa, following last week's mayhem at Mubi
Polytechnic.
Some of the placards they carried read: ``Our Dear Gov.
Godswill Akpabio come to our aid. Akwa Ibom Govt. provide us with admission,
Please send rescue team to bring our students, We can’t go back to Mubi''.
The Government House security operatives in attempt to
disperse the students used tear gas on them, bruised some with whips and
arrested 11 of them while the rest run away for dear lives.
Narrating their ordeal to NAN, the Secretary General of
National Association of Akwa Ibom Students (NAAKIS), Mubi chapter, Mr Ibetedem
Inyang, lamented that the security operatives in Government House had inflicted
injuries on his members.
Inyang, who is an HND 2 student of Mechanic Engineering at
Mubi Polytechnic, said that they were not riotous when they approached the
entrance of Government House.
The students scribe said that they gathered there with
intention of reporting their ugly experiences to the state governor, Chief
Godswill Akpabio, who is known for his large heart.
``We have lost all our property, we are only lucky that no
student from Akwa Ibom died, only one or two sustained injuries.
``We are 400 students and 20 staff members from Akwa Ibom at
Mubi Polytechnic,” Inyang said.
When NAN contacted the Uyo Area Commander of the State
Police Command, ACP Patrick Garba, whose jurisdiction the incident took place,
he claimed that he was not aware of the incident.
``No person came to brief me, I am taken aback. I was
representing the Commissioner of Police at a church service to mark the opening
of the 2012/2013 legal year of the state judiciary,” Garba said.
He, however, made inquiries and confirmed that 11 students
were detained at A Division of his command.
The area commander said that his men had to disperse the
students to prevent the gathering from becoming riotous and that the 11
arrested were those that resisted the police order.
``Now that the coast is free, I have ordered that they be
released,'' Garba said.
No Nigerian Varsity In Top 400 List – Report
The latest ranking of world universities released by the
Times Higher Education (THE) for 2012-2013 has indicated that no Nigerian
university made the list of the best 400 in the world.
A report released by THE at the weekend suggests that no
public or private University in Nigeria is included in the latest ranking by
the London-based weekly magazine, acclaimed to be the United Kingdom’s leading
higher education news publication.
According to the report, the top four universities in Africa
all came from South Africa, with the University of Cape Town which ranks 113 in
the world with 55.8 as number one on the continent. The universities of Witwatersrand,
Stellenbosch and Kwazulu-Natal, all in South Africa, came second, third and
fourth with 226, 251 and 351 overall scores respectively.
According to THE, California Institute of Technology, United
States, with overall score of 95.5, University of Oxford, United Kingdom and
Stanford University in United States came first, second and third in the world.
American universities dominate the Times Higher Education
global rankings for 2012-13, occupying seven of the top 10 spots, but Asian
institutions are on the rise as reflected in the report.
The ranking shows the California Institute of Technology
retained number one position, but Harvard University dropped to four - it was
equal second with Stanford University last year - and the University of Oxford
and Stanford shared second place.
The top 10 group is largely stable, including, as it did
last year, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University, the
University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, the University of California,
Berkeley, and the University of Chicago.
The THE report said it employed 13 carefully calibrated
performance indicators to provide the most comprehensive and balanced
comparisons, which are trusted by students, academics, university leaders,
industry and governments.
It said the methodology for the 2012-13 World University
Rankings is identical to that used for the 2011-12 tables, offering a
year-on-year comparison based on true performance rather than methodological
change.
“Our 13 performance indicators are grouped into five areas:
teaching -- the learning environment (worth 30 per cent of the overall ranking
score); research --volume, income and reputation (worth 30 per cent); citations
-- research influence (worth 30 per cent); industry income -- innovation (worth
2.5 per cent); international outlook --
staff, students and research (worth 7.5 per
cent).
Jonathan Decorates New CDS, Service Chiefs, Asks Them To Tackle Security Challenges
President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday in Abuja tasked the

The president set the task when he decorated the CDS, the

the new appointments made by the president on Oct. 4, was not decorated.

rise to the remaining security challenges confronting our nation today, most
specifically the Chief of Naval Staff along with his officers and men have
onerous responsibility of scaling security in our territorial waters.
``The unacceptable rising incidences of crude oil theft must
be tackled frontally.

crude oil thieves on our national economy, I expect the chief of naval staff
and the other service chiefs to immediately go to work to urgently bring the
issue of crude oil theft to an end.’’

CAC Pastor asks court to end his 32-year-old marriage
A 62-year-old man, Pastor Emmanuel Ojo, on Friday begged an
Akure Chief Customary Court to put an end to the 32-year-old marriage between
him and his wife, Victoria.
The pastor had filed a divorce petition against his
56-year-old wife praying the court to dissolve the marriage.
Ojo told the court that his wife had abandoned her
matrimonial home since 2010, adding that there was no more love between them.
The Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) pastor complained that his
wife was too quarrelsome, and was in the habit of raining curses on him
whenever there were disagreements between them.
He told the court that because of her behaviour, he had
attempted suicide three times in the past, adding that he was tired of her as
she was too hot tempered.
The marriage is blessed with four children, Oluwaseyi Ojo,
32, Bankole Ojo, 30, Ayotunde Ojo, 27 and a Oluwabanke Ojo, 24.
Ojo told the court how he used to prostrate for his wife and
beg her just for peace to reign in the house anytime she started fighting him.
According to the pastor, his wife’s behaviour had affected
his pastoral duties and had caused him to break the vow he made with God.
He said he had vowed before God not to have any affairs with
another woman, but since his wife had abandoned him he had broken the vow.
Ojo lamented that since he cannot continue to live alone,
cook for himself and nobody to care for him when he was ill; he had to take
another wife.
The pastor said that as a servant of God, he would not
accept his wife back even if she wished to return because he could not have two
wives.
In her defence Victoria said that her husband had been very
unfaithful to her since their marriage.
She said that her husband never told her he had other
children outside the marriage, adding that her husband deceived her for close
to 20 years before she knew the truth.
Victoria told the court that unknown to her, the pastor
already had two wives before they were married, adding that each time she
inquired about the wives and the children, he always denied it.
She said her husband never gave her any money for
toiletries, adding that she never complained as she endured it because she was
convinced of a better tomorrow.
She said that before she married her husband, he was a
socialite, who could finish a carton of beer at a sitting, adding that she went
into serious fasting and prayers before he could stop drinking.
Victoria, who said she loved her husband then, added that
the pastor was too secretive and never discussed any issue with her.
She told the court that she gave her husband N50,000 when he
started his church project, and said that she had incurred a lot of debt
because of his actions.
She prayed the court to dissolve the marriage for the two of
them to go their separate ways.
President of the court, Chief Joshua Omofaye, later
adjourned the matter to Oct. 11, for judgment. (NAN)

OMG!! Man jumps out of his Range Rover, strips himself naked
The man in the picture jumped down from his Range Rover and
stripped naked and within a few minutes he was defecating in his hands and
chasing people with it.
People who gathered at the scene said the man was uttering incomprehensible things and displaying other forms of
lunacy.
Though the cause of the man’s action could not be ascertained immediately, people that witnessed the scene this
morning around Balogun, Ikeja said a possibility of three things could be going on
here.
According to one of the crowd, it is either the people he
used for rituals have started tormenting him, or the Head of d Ogboni that he
belongs to is after him as a result of non compliance. Or a very jealous and
vicious friend or family member has directed some evil forces to him.
Hmnnn! in any case, a lot are happening!!!

Could This Man Really Be The Face of Lagbaja?
Lagbaja's face has finally been revealed. The story and the picture above flooded the Internet few days ago.
Since the early 90's, Bisade “Lagbaja” Ologunde has managed to keep his face well hidden behind a mask – many of us pondered the mystery, the reason behind such an enigma hiding his identity.
Is he handsome? Not good looking? Or is the invincibility the source of his musical prowess?
The questions were just not going to stop.
According to Lagbaja, his mask is used as an icon of man’s
facelessness. Lagbaja is a Yoruba word that means “nobody in particular”.
It depicts the anonymity of the so-called “common man”. The
mask and the name symbolize the faceless, the voiceless in the society,
particularly in Africa.
But it seems we all have our curiousity chilled up as a
picture alleged to be Lagbaja's with his face left unmaked leaked on the
Internet few days ago.
Stories from grapevine
said on Saturday, September 29 2012, Lagbaja’s Omole Estate, Lagos home
was visited by men of the underworld and valuables worth millions of naira was
carted away in the process, perhaps, pictures showing his face too?
However, there are reports that Lagbaja has refuted the pix
going around as his real face.
It is however hard to ignore the striking similarities
between this face and the masked one especially the lips, eyes and shape of
chin.

BREAKING NEWS!!! Gunmen Kill over 40 Students Of Federal Polytechnic In Mubi Adamawa State
Unidentified gunmen have invaded a place in Mubi Adamawa
state close to the Federal Polytechnic killing several students in an
off-campus accommodation.
Emergency workers said they have mobilized several agencies
to the area to carry out search and rescue operation.
The attack reportedly took place on Monday night at Wuro
Patuji, an area with lots off –campus apartment housing for students of the
polytechnic.
Though some residents put the number of victims at 35 persons,
unconfirmed reports say the number of those who have lost their lives is over
40.
The dead and injured
persons are mostly students of the polytechnic.
The school have not issued any official reaction to the
attack.
It would be recalled that residents of Mubi have reeling
from the imposition of a dusk to dawn curfew as security agents comb the town
and surrounding locations for terrorists believed to be hiding in the area.
Mubi is one of the suspected hiding spots for Islamist
extremists whose bomb attacks on churches, public places and Northern
bureaucrats as well as political figures have besieged Nigeria’s north-east
region.
A source who is a security agent disclosed that Mubi had
been plagued by serial killings in the past one week. “These killings and other
nefarious activities imminently prove that some terrorists are indeed hiding
out in the area,” said the source.
He revealed that security agents received intelligence
reports that necessitated the current sweeping search operations in the area.
One resident of Mubi reported that sporadic gunshots were heard in the town,
forcing people to remain home.
Another resident described a frenzied atmosphere in the
town, adding that he and his neighbors steered clear of streets for fear of the
unknown.
Neither the state government nor the military command has issued
an official statement disclosing the reasons for the curfew.

I want to marry My Mother - true story from Zimbabwe
A Zimbabwean woman and her son have done the unthinkable –
they have fallen in love with one another.
And now they want to marry since the
mom, Betty Mbereko from Mwenezi in Masvingo, is six months pregnant and
expecting her son’s child.
Mbereko (40), who was widowed 12 years ago, has been
cohabiting with her first child, Farai Mbereko (23).
She confirms that she is six months pregnant and that she
has decided it is better to “marry” her son because she does not want to marry
her late husband’s young brothers, whom she says are coveting her.
Betty stunned a village court last week when she said the
affair with her son had begun three years earlier.
She said after spending a lot of money sending Farai to
school following the death of her husband, she felt
she had a right to his
money and no other woman was entitled to it.
“Look, I strove alone to send my son to school and no one
helped me. Now you see that my son is working and you accuse me of doing
something wrong. “Let me enjoy the products of my sweat,” she told the village
court.
Farai said he was more than prepared to marry his mother and
would pay off the ilobola balance his father had left unpaid to his
grandparents.
“I know my father died before he finished paying the bride
price and I am prepared to pay it off,” he said.
“It is better to publicise what is happening because people
should know that I am the one who made my mother pregnant. Otherwise they will
accuse her of promiscuity.”
But local headman Nathan Muputirwa says: “We cannot allow
this to happen in our village, mashura chaiwo aya, (This is a bad omen indeed).
In the past they would have to be killed but today we cannot do it because we
are afraid of the police.” He warned them to break off their marriage or leave
his village.
They chose the latter and have left the village for an
unknown destination.
