 Man is remanded by an Imo court for burning a maid's buttocks

Egemba



Uzoma Egemba, a guardian, has been placed on remand at the Owerri Correctional Center after being accused of scalding his 12-year-old maid Chimkamso Ekeocha's body and buttocks for using his kids' bicycles.

Egemba was arraigned by the state's police on Wednesday and then remanded by P.C. Nnoromole of the Owerri Magistrate's Court.

The judge remanded the defendant and set a hearing date of July 20 to hear the Department of Public Prosecutions' report after claiming that she lacked the authority to hear the case.
The magistrate had the constitutional authority to hear the case, according to the accused's attorney, K. U. Alisigwe, but the jurist insisted that she lacked the jurisdiction to do so.

The magistrate reminded him that she was not recording him as Alisigwe continued.

Ogechi, the attorney for the police, who had taken out a remand notice, concurred with the magistrate that she lacked the authority to hear the case.

"That you Egemba Uzoma, on June 26, 2022, at area L World Bank Housing Estate in the Owerri magisterial district did unlawfully and without justification wound one Chikamso Ekeocha by giving her multiple deep wounds on her back using a very hot frying spoon placed at a burning cooking gas and intentionally placed on her back which caused multiple maim on her back, got her disfigured, and does gracious harm to Owerri.

Following the global success of a video shot by the victim's instructor, Egemba was taken into custody last week.

The extent of the alleged harm that the accused allegedly inflicted on the minor was evident in the video.

Concerned Nigerians, led by a social media influencer named Darlington Ibekwe, a journalist and activist named Chidiebube Okeoma, and others, including members of the National Human Rights Commission and Joy Onuoha from the Vulnerability and Rights Project Initiative, arrested the accused, took the minor to the Imo Specialist Hospital Umuguma, and led the advocacy for her well-being.

After Nigerians, including the state chapter of the International Federation of Women Lawyers, came to her aid, the minor had been treated and released from the hospital.

 Dropping power generation, discos and FG fighting for control An intense conflict has developed between the Discos and the government as a result of Fidelity Bank's planned acquisition of three power distribution businesses and the Federal Government's restructuring of two further companies. Through the Bureau for Public Enterprise, the Federal Government is supporting Fidelity Bank's acquisition of the three Discos. Findings reveal that Discos have continued to file new lawsuits in an effort to avoid being taken over by the government and the bank. Power sector specialists have praised and criticized both parties in response to the development, which has divided industry players.

BIOGRAPHY OF FATIMA BINTA MUHAMMAD ﷺ

By Victoryking nc
 A LITTLE BIOGRAPHY OF FATIMA BINTA MUHAMMAD ﷺ Fatimah was the fifth child of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and Khadijah. She was about five years old when The Prophet received revelation so scholars say “she grew up in Islam.”  One of her nicknames was Ummu Abeeha (Her Father’s Mother), due to the fact that she was always in his company and ready to defend him, just like a mother would do for her child. Once she saw her father while he was in sujood, and `Uqbah ibn Abi Mu`ayt came and placed the guts of a dead animal on the Prophet’s back while he was praying. Fatima ran to her father and removed the filth from his back while she was crying. The Prophet ﷺ saw her crying and said, “Don’t cry my daughter, for indeed Allah will make your father victorious”. She adopted so many characteristics from her father, that Aisha says, “I have not seen anyone who resembled the Holy Prophet ﷺ more in manners, habits, character and in the method of sitting and standing than Fatimah.” (Tirmidhi) Th...
