Anambra lawyer who brutalised maid set to face trial for attempted murder

The Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) of the Nigeria Police Force has said it would be charging  a, the Anambra lawyer that brutalised her 10 years old maid, with attempted murder and child abuse.

It will be recalled that the Minister of Women Affairs, Barrister Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, had placed a N2 million bounty on the head on Adachukwu Helen Okafor, who inserted a hot knife into the private part of her 10-year-old maid who had been living with her for just two weeks.

She also burnt the girl’s cheeks and bottom with hot iron after claiming the little girl sexually molested her six years old son.

National Coordinator for Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Vices (POCACOV), Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Olabisi Okuwobi, who paraded the suspect yesterday in Abuja, said the incident would be presented in court as a case of attempted murder and child abuse.

The CSP, while addressing newsmen, said: “Recall that on the 10th of January, there was a report, you know, in the social media, whereby it was alleged that a female lawyer abused a young girl and she was on the run.

“The Internet was awoken by the news of a 10-year-old girl who had burns all over her body. The girl was a maid to one Barrister Adachukwu Helen Okafor for two weeks.

“The said barrister accused the minor of fondling the organ of her six-year-old son while bathing him.

“On January 29, 2024, the suspect proceeded to tie her hands, her mouth and flogged her.

“She also inserted a hot knife into the girl’s private part and poured grounded pepper into it as well. She also placed a hot iron on the girl’s cheek and on her two buttocks.

“After causing the maid trauma, she locked her up in her toilet from the afternoon of the incident till the evening of the following day without food.

“She took the child the following day naked to the aunt that gave her the girl as a maid, and it was at the point that she dropped the young girl with her aunt, you know without clothes, with the burns on the cheek and buttocks and with blood and water oozing out of the private part that the aunt raised the alarm, and the alarm attracted passersby who brought out their phones and recorded the incident.

“We know what Nigerians do with their phones. And they started recording videos or taking pictures, and this went straight to the social space, which attracted the police of Anambra State Command and the Commissioner for Women Affairs in Anambra State.

“All efforts made to arrest her proved abortive because she took to her heels.

“At that point when all efforts made to arrest her proved abortive, the Honourable Minister right here beside me, also a barrister herself, Barrister Uju Kennedy, took it upon herself that she wasn’t going to keep quiet; that her portfolio covers all Nigerian women and children.

“So she released a N2 million bounty on her head and wrote a petition to the Inspector General of Police, who ordered that the petition be handled by the Force CID, and the policemen of the Force CID took action immediately.

“When the woman discovered that the heat was on her, from her hiding place, I believe she advised herself and showed up. She was arrested and her statement taken.

“She is a mother of four children.

“Unfortunately, the young girl, we hope she recuperates better. She is still receiving treatment based on the extensive burns on her. Nobody knows the extent of the internal injuries caused by the hot knife that was driven into her private part.

“The IGP is assuring Nigerians that a diligent prosecution of the case would be carried out. No iota of the incident would be swept under the carpet.

“And this should serve as a note of warning to those who use little children for child labour in the first place.

“As for the suspect, any moment, she would be in court.”

On her part, Kennedy-Ohanenye said: “To Nigerians, I can assure you that when you shout out it is like a command to us; we in government would take it up when you shout out.

“So we are assuring Nigerians that till we get justice for that girl, we would not let go.

“Before she was brought, we had already gone to court with the police and all her bank accounts are blocked.

“She can’t assess her money. We would never agree. In Nigeria now, if you tamper with any child or any woman, you will see action, legal action, any kind of action.

“But I’m equally telling women not to look for trouble.

“So we have handed over this lady, but we are not stepping aside.

“We will keep you informed step by step until she gets the correct justice she is supposed to get.”

“My Pastor Is Having Sex With My Friend’s Wife” – Man Cries Out

“My Pastor Is Having Sex With My Friend’s Wife” – Man Cries Out

 

A Nigerian man has sparked online conversations after allegedly discovering that his pastor was involved in a sexual relationship with the wife of someone he considers a friend.

 

The disturbing claim was contained in a social media post shared by **SilentBeads on its official Facebook account on Monday, November 9, 2026**.

 

In the post, the man expressed concern over what he described as an alleged sexual relationship between his spiritual leader, a popular television preacher, and his friend’s wife.

 

According to the account, the woman had been married to the man’s friend for five years, making the allegation particularly troubling to the whistleblower.

 

Although details of how the alleged relationship was discovered were not provided, the man’s disclosure has drawn attention to questions of trust, marital commitment and the responsibilities of religious leaders.

 

### Allegation Raises Questions About Pastoral Conduct

 

The allegation has also renewed discussions about the expectations placed on religious leaders, particularly prominent preachers who command large followings and enjoy the confidence of their congregations.

 

For many worshippers, pastors are not merely religious teachers but also trusted spiritual advisers whose conduct is expected to reflect the values they preach.

 

However, the identities of the preacher, the woman, her husband and the man who raised the alarm have not been disclosed in the account available.

 

There has also been no independently verified evidence establishing the alleged relationship or any public response from the people reportedly involved.

 

The allegation therefore remains unverified, and the identities of those concerned should not be speculated upon.

‘What More Do Men Want?’ Nigerian Lady Questions Why She Is Still Single Despite Having Everything

‘What More Do Men Want?’ Nigerian Lady Questions Why She Is Still Single Despite Having Everything

 

A Nigerian woman has triggered an online debate after publicly questioning why she remains unmarried despite believing she possesses the qualities many men desire in a potential wife.

The woman, whose identity has not been established, reportedly raised the question in a social media post accompanied by her photograph.

“I have everything a man could want, but I’m still single. What am I doing wrong?” she reportedly wrote.

Her post, which has gained attention across social media platforms, has attracted mixed reactions, with some users offering relationship advice while others questioned her understanding of what men look for in a life partner.

The discussion, reportedly amplified by social media news aggregators, has since opened up conversations about relationships, marriage expectations and the challenges of finding compatible partners in today’s society.

While some commentators suggested that successful and financially independent women sometimes struggle to find partners who are comfortable with their achievements, others argued that financial stability and physical appearance alone do not guarantee a successful relationship.

Some users also pointed to character, communication, humility and compatibility as important factors that should not be overlooked when seeking a life partner.

Others, however, questioned whether unrealistic expectations and unwillingness to compromise could be contributing to the difficulties some singles encounter in their search for love.

The debate has also highlighted differing opinions about modern relationships, particularly the expectations men and women bring into marriage.

Although the woman’s post did not explain what she meant by having everything a man could want, her question has resonated with many singles who are still searching for suitable partners despite their personal achievements.

Ultimately, finding a life partner goes beyond material possessions or physical attraction, as mutual understanding, shared values, emotional maturity and compatibility also play significant roles.

What do you think could be the reason behind her relationship status? Is it possible to have everything a potential partner desires and still struggle to find love?

‘Don’t Push My Mum to the Brink’ – Son of Second Wife Fires Back Amid Mama Ukehe Backlash

‘Don’t Push My Mum to the Brink’ – Son of Second Wife Fires Back Amid Mama Ukehe Backlash

 

A fresh twist has emerged in the ongoing Mama Ukehe family controversy in Enugu State as the son of the embattled second wife has appealed to Nigerians to stop attacking his mother, warning that they would face his anger if anything happened to her.

The young man, whose identity has not been established, made the appeal in a social media statement as public criticism of his mother continues to intensify following allegations of maltreatment levelled against her by her husband’s first wife, Mrs Gertrude Anulika Ngwu, popularly known as Mama Ukehe.

In the statement, he expressed displeasure over the volume of negative comments and attacks directed at his mother, insisting that she did not deserve the hostility.

“Nigerians, please stop attacking my mum. Is it not enough already? That woman does not deserve all this hate. Do you want her to die? If anything happens to my mum, you people won’t like it. Please, this is enough,” he said.

His intervention has added another dimension to the controversy, which has continued to attract widespread attention and emotional reactions across social media platforms.

The dispute became a major public talking point after a video showing Mama Ukehe’s emotional experience at her husband’s Ozo title-taking ceremony went viral, prompting many Nigerians to express sympathy for her.

Mama Ukehe reportedly has no biological children and had been married to her husband for several decades before he took a second wife, who has five children.

During an interview with BBC Igbo, the first wife narrated her alleged experiences within the marriage, claiming that she suffered insults and hostility after her husband married another woman.

She alleged that her co-wife rejected gifts she bought for her and described her as bad luck in the presence of the children.

The allegations generated widespread condemnation, with many Nigerians questioning the treatment allegedly meted out to the first wife despite the years she had spent in the marriage.

However, the second wife reportedly denied insulting Mama Ukehe over her childlessness, while her husband also challenged some of the claims made against the family.

Since the controversy erupted, Nigerians have reportedly organised visits, donations and celebrations in honour of Mama Ukehe, with many expressing solidarity with her.

But the latest statement from the second wife’s son has attracted further criticism, with some social media users accusing him and his family of failing to address the allegations that triggered the public outrage.

Others have condemned the intensity of the online attacks, arguing that criticism of the family’s alleged conduct should not translate into threats, harassment or wishing harm on anyone.

 

The unfolding controversy has continued to generate heated debate, with the latest intervention suggesting that tensions surrounding the family dispute are far from over.
