Police arraign professor, three others over sodomy at Kano school

-


Police have arraigned a professor and two other persons in Kano, in connection to alleged sexual abuse of several students at a boys’ college in the state.

The attacks at Hassan Gwarzo Secondary Scollege, sparked outrage in Kano, leading to the closure of the institution.

On Thursday, police arraigned the proprietor of Hassan Gwarzo Secondary School, Ibrahim Ayagi; the school principal, Muhammad Jimo, and two others before Justice Aminu Kabara of Kano High Court 5 on eight-count charges.

The charges border on criminal conspiracy, abetment, negligence, failure to give information, among others.

Mr. Ayagi, a professor of Economics, is standing trial on a one-count charge of “gross indecency”.

The presiding judge, Aminu Kabara, adjourned the case to 29 February for further hearing.

On Wednesday, Kano State government announced the reopening of the college after three months of closure, following reported assault on students by some unidentified persons last year.
In October 2015, a report aired on a Kano private radio station, Freedom Radio, on a series of sodomy cases in the school, sparked outrage and forced the state government to shut the school and set up an investigation panel.
The state government reached the decision to reopen the school after weekly its Executive Council Meeting on Wednesday, asking the school to inculcate moral teachings in the students, employ enough guards and install CCTV cameras to monitor activities there.
But parents of the victims of the alleged sexual abuse faulted the decision of the state government, saying justice was not done.
A spokesman for the affected parents, Aminu Sheriff, said the school should not be reopened at a time when some of the victims were still in hospital.

RE: "I did not promise to build Labour party" Peter Obi is an epitome of dishonesty and a serial betrayal - Arabambi

Our attention has been drawn to a statement that was credited to HE Peter obi, the labour party presidential candidate at the 2023 general elections.   While addressing Nigerians on X space,  Peter obi was quoted as saying that "we promised to build Nigeria, we did not promise to build a New Labour Party". We find that statement to be shocking, appalling, awful, disgraceful, horrible and extremely shameful.  However we must state that we are not surprised at his comment especially as he had always exhibited acts of betrayal, disloyalty, treachery and outright breach of trust. Consequently, the labour party Nigeria will like to tender an unreserved apology to all Nigerians and especially all members of labour party for our indescretion, miscalculation, mistake and error of allowing a serial betrayal, insincere and dishonest individual to desecrate our well respected and Honourable platform to take advantage of innocent and unsuspecting populace. Accordingly, despite t...

LETTER OF LABOUR PARTY BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO INEC........ THIS IS WHY INEC STOPPED RECOGNISING ABURE AS THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF LABOUR PARTY The Nigeria Labour Congress has written the Independent National Electoral Commission, urging it to halt any support for the national convention of the Labour Party scheduled for March 27, 2024. In a Friday letter addressed to the Chairman of INEC, Mahmood Yakubu, the NLC accused the Chairman of the Labour Party, Mr Julius Abure, and his associates of planning an illegal convention in defiance of court orders. The NLC’s solicitors, Falana and Falana’s Chambers, in the letter dated March 22, 2024, highlighted the illegality of such a gathering, citing previous court rulings that declared the Labour Party’s status and ordered inclusive conventions. The NLC, in the letter signed by Marshal Abubakar, threatened legal action if INEC failed to comply with the demand to prevent what they deemed a breach of justice and the rule of law. The congress’ lette...

Ignore all machinations, Sola Ebiseni remains the Governorship candidate of Labour Party. Once again, the Labour Party Campaign Organisation is inundated with calls on the purported replacement of Chief Sola Ebiseni, our Governorship candidate, with Ayo Olorunfemi less than 24 hours to the Ondo State Governorship election tomorrow. Contrary to the false report, the candidacy of Ebiseni was the decision of the Party presided over by the National Working Committee led by Julius Abure of which Ayo Olorunfemi is a member after the latter, who was a placeholder, voluntarily withdrew his candidacy backed with sworn affidavit, an undisputed fact confirmed by the Courts. For the umpteenth time and avoidance of doubt, Ayo Olorunfemi was not a party to any of the cases either at the High Court or the Court of Appeal and his Appeal as an Interested party was dismissed. There is no subsisting order of any court directing the INEC to remove or replace the name of Chief Olusola Nehemiah Ebiseni and ...
