”My wife travelled to Ghana to meet one of her concubines. She did family planning without my consent and goes out at will”, a pastor, Sunday Owonikoko, has told a Lagos Customary Court in Orile-Agege.

”My husband is a pathological liar, it was ten years after our marriage that I knew the woman he called his cousin and her children were his wife and children. My husband lied that he was going to Abuja for a training programme. I was surprised when I was told that he now lives in Mushin in a police woman’s house,” embattled housewife, Rashidat Adeniyi, told an Agege-Orile, Lagos customary court.

Not long ago the Lagos State Government was more or less forced to declare that it is alive to its responsibility to the people of the state following an alarm raised by residents and motorists on the precarious state of the Igando-Ayobo wooden bridge.

FOURTEEN years after the gruesome murder of Zaki Iyordye Akaahena, a renowned paramount ruler in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State alongside his two sons who were allegedly beheaded by rampaging Fulani herdsmen in 1989, over 3,000 lives have been lost to the unending bitter fight.

The military and their operations, especially when drafted to a place to restore order, are often associated with a no-nonsense attitude to depict the seriousness of their mission. Thus, it is usual to see road blocks and other security bulwarks in the effort to restore law and order.
