A 15-year-old girl, Endurance Sabon, has been brutally attacked and had her hand cut after her family rejected a forced marriage proposal by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Goska community, Kaninkon Ward, Kafanchan, Jama’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
A family member, who spoke on Saturday, said the attackers had earlier approached Endurance’s mother while she was working on the family farm.
They had demanded that the teenager be given to them in marriage.
According to the account, the incident occurred while Endurance, her mother and other relatives were farming at about 10am on Friday when the men approached them, praising the girl’s beauty and insisting she should be married to one of them.
“We were working on the farm from about 10 a.m. that day. My mother and my niece were together. While they were there, some fulani herdsmen approached them and started telling my mother to give them the young lady’s hand in marriage, saying she was very beautiful.
“My mother thought they were joking. They kept speaking in their dialect and repeatedly called the girl by name.”
After finishing their farm work later in the day, the family members waited for a motorcycle to take them home at about 6:30 p.m., unaware that the men had been trailing them through the bush.
“After they finished their farm work, they waited for an okada rider to take them home. That was around 6:30 p.m.
“Unknown to them, the men followed them, went through the bush, and set an ambush near the farm. As they were walking — four of them in total —.the attackers suddenly rushed them. The older women fell down, and the attackers shone a torchlight on one of them and realised she was not the girl they wanted,” the source explained.
The source explained that the attackers then allegedly searched again, identified Endurance, seized her and dragged her into the forest, where she was attacked and severely injured.
“They then searched again with the torchlight, found the young girl, grabbed her, and dragged her into the forest. There, they attacked her and inflicted a deep cut on her hand.”
Endurance was first taken to the General Hospital in Kafanchan before being referred to a private medical facility for emergency care.
The family source told SaharaReporters that due to the severity of her injuries, she has now been referred to the Jos University Teaching Hospital for further treatment, as the family appeals for urgent assistance.
“She was later referred from General Hospital, Kafanchan, to Joyce Hospital for treatment.”
The source said five suspects had been arrested in connection with the attack, adding that the group originally consisted of about nine men.
“Five persons were arrested. My mother knows them very well. Their houses are close to the farm,” the family member said.
The family is now calling on the Kaduna State Government and security agencies to intervene decisively, provide medical support for the victim and ensure that those arrested are prosecuted.
“We need help. The government should address the security situation in our community and assist with her medical bills,” the source said.
“Those arrested should not be released. The government should compensate the victim and ensure the perpetrators are punished so this will serve as a deterrent to others.”
The attack has heightened fears among residents of Goska community, who say insecurity and attacks linked to forced marriages and banditry remain a serious threat in the area.
Meanwhile, a brother of the victim’s family from Tudun Wada was attacked by Fulani herdsmen earlier this year, and his decomposed body was later found mutilated.
Ademola Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Chicken, was on Friday arraigned before a Magistrate’s Court in Ogba, Lagos, over allegations of issuing a death threat against Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.
DJ Chicken was brought before Magistrate M.F. Onamusi on a three-count charge bordering on alleged threat to kill, conduct likely to cause a breach of peace, and offences under the Cybercrime Act.
According to the prosecution, the charges arose from a video posted on the content creator’s social media platforms last week in which he allegedly threatened Seyi Tinubu while commenting on the 2027 presidential election.
The prosecution told the court that the video contained statements interpreted as a threat to kill Seyi Tinubu, contrary to the provisions of the Criminal Law of Lagos State and the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015.
Following public reaction to the video, DJ Chicken posted another video in which he withdrew the remarks, describing them as a joke intended to attract public attention.
He stated that he had no intention of harming Seyi Tinubu and said the comments were part of content creation.
Despite the retraction, the state proceeded with criminal charges against him.
The first count alleges that the defendant posted a video containing a threat to kill Seyi Tinubu through his social media accounts, an offence punishable under Section 232 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The second count accuses him of transmitting a grossly offensive and menacing message through a computer network, contrary to Section 24 of the Cybercrime Act, 2015.
The third count alleges that his conduct was likely to cause a breach of the peace and was intended to intimidate or embarrass Seyi Tinubu, contrary to Section 168(d) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
DJ Chicken pleaded not guilty to all three charges.
Magistrate M.F. Onamusi admitted him to bail in the sum of N1 million with two sureties in like sum.
The court ruled that one of the sureties must be a government employee, while the second must be a recognised community leader with landed property in Lagos State.
Both sureties are also required to provide evidence of three years’ tax clearance, Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) identification, National Identification Number (NIN), and recent utility bills.
In addition, one of the sureties must be a blood relation of the defendant.
Pending the fulfilment of the bail conditions, the magistrate ordered that DJ Chicken be remanded at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre.
The case was adjourned until August 3, 2026, for further proceedings.
An Indiana man accused of severing his own penis and setting it on fire has been released on bail after being charged with felony arson.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, 43-year-old American citizen, Christopher Peden was released after posting a $10,000 bond. As part of his bail conditions, he must remain in Indiana unless he receives court approval to travel outside the state.
Investigators said officers recovered several items from the scene, including the remains of a red plastic gasoline container, four BIC lighters and a knife. Court records did not indicate that the severed body part was collected as evidence. Police allege that Peden told officers he used a kitchen knife to sever his penis at around 2 a.m. before pouring gasoline on it and setting it alight inside a garage.
Emergency services were dispatched to the property following reports of a stabbing. Police and firefighters responded to the scene, where the incident is said to have occurred in a garage belonging to the property’s owners.
Peden is expected to appear in court as proceedings continue in the felony arson case. Authorities have not disclosed additional details about his medical condition or the circumstances surrounding the incident.
