A woman has been arrested for allegedly b*rning her step-grandson’s lip with a hot knife in Taraba State.
The incident happened in Wukari Local Government Area of the state.
According to reports, Chinecherim Julius was brut@lly ass@ulted by his grandfather’s wife before she burnt his lips, leaving him with severe injuries.
Senior Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Chairman of Wukari LGA, Ibrahim Audu Angyu, confirmed the arrest in a statement on Thursday, August 8, 2024.
The heinous act of Chinecherim Julius’ grandfather wife, cutting off his two lips with a hot knife, is a gruesome and inexcusable act of violence that should be condemned in the strongest possible terms. It is beyond comprehension how a person can harm a child in such a brutal manner,” the statement read.
“We applaud the decisive action taken by the executive chairman of Wukari Local Government Council, Hon Dauda Agbu Samaila in ordering for the arrest of Chinecherim Julius’ grandfather wife.
“This shows that no one is above the law, and justice must prevail no matter the circumstances. The chairman’s intervention in ensuring that Chinecherim Julius received medical care and that the perpetrator (grandfather wife)was brought to justice is commendable and sets a strong example for others in positions of authority.
“The safety and well-being of children should be a top priority for all members of society, and it is our collective responsibility to protect them from harm. Acts of violence against children, such as what happened to chinecherim Julius, cannot be tolerated or brushed aside. We must all work together to create a safe and loving environment for all children to thrive and grow.”
The Accord Party has defeated the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the polling unit of former Osun Deputy Governor and ex-APC National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, in the ongoing Osun State governorship election.
According to results uploaded to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Result Viewing Portal (IReV), Accord secured 131 votes at Polling Unit 003, Ife Ward 1 (Moore), St. Gabriel Primary School, in Ife East Local Government Area.
The APC polled 85 votes to finish second, while the African Democratic Congress (ADC) recorded 10 votes. Other political parties obtained marginal votes at the polling unit.
The result adds to a series of early victories recorded by the Accord Party as INEC continues the uploading and collation of results across the state.
Earlier, Accord also won at the polling unit of former Osun Governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, in Okuku, Odo-Otin Local Government Area.
The result sheet uploaded on the IReV portal showed Accord polling 125 votes, ahead of the APC, which recorded 85 votes. The ADC secured five votes.
Meanwhile, INEC has continued to upload results from polling units across Osun State as the governorship election moves into the collation stage.
Voters across the state’s 30 local government areas cast their ballots on Saturday to elect a governor for the next four years.
The major contenders in the election include the incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party, APC candidate Bola Oyebamiji, and African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate Najeem Salaam.
The Accord Party has won the governorship election at the polling unit of former Osun State Governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, in Okuku, Odo-Otin Local Government Area of the state.
According to the result sheet uploaded to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) IReV portal, Accord polled 125 votes to emerge victorious at the polling unit.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) came second with 85 votes, while the African Democratic Congress (ADC) secured five votes.
The African Action Congress (AAC) scored two votes, while the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Young Progressive Party (YPP) and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) each recorded one vote.
Other parties, including the AA, ADP, APGA, APM, APP, BP, NNPP and PRP, recorded no votes.
The result sheet showed that 228 voters were accredited, with 220 valid votes cast and eight rejected ballots.
The election was conducted at Court Hall I, Okuku, in Odo-Otin Local Government Area.
The result comes against the backdrop of Oyinlola’s reported endorsement of the APC governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, ahead of the election.
Oyinlola, who governed Osun State from 2003 to 2010, had publicly backed Oyebamiji despite the APC candidate running against incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The outcome at Oyinlola’s polling unit therefore puts the Accord Party ahead of the APC, with Adeleke’s party failing to secure the unit despite the incumbent governor’s participation in the election.
Voting was disrupted in Ejigbo, Osun State, after violence broke out at a polling unit during the ongoing Osun State Governorship election.
It was gathered that voters, residents and officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) fled the polling unit as tension escalated around the area.
According to Channels TV, people were seen running in different directions while motorcycles and vehicles moved through the area as residents attempted to escape the unfolding situation.
The immediate cause of the violence was not clear, as the chaos temporarily halted the ongoing electoral process.
The incident comes as voters come out in their numbers to partake in governorship election amid tight security.
