Cancer Patient Appeals for Second Wife for Husband, Cites Sexual, Health Challenges

A mother of three battling cancer, Kemisola Mustapha, has stirred widespread public reaction after appealing for a second wife for her husband, saying her health condition has made it difficult for her to meet some marital and sexual obligations.

According to a report by PUNCH, Mustapha, a trader, made the appeal in an emotional video shared on her TikTok page, explaining that her cancer diagnosis in 2024 has significantly affected her family life.

She said the illness has limited her physical strength and intimacy with her husband, prompting her decision to seek a co-wife who would help restore happiness and stability in the home.

Mustapha disclosed that she had been searching for a suitable second wife for over nine months, stressing that she wants someone of good character, who is loving, faithful, peaceful, and educated.

Describing her husband as supportive and selfless, she revealed that he had sold nearly all his properties to finance her cancer treatment, adding that her decision was driven by love and gratitude rather than fear or despair.

“This request is from the bottom of my heart. My mind is totally open to it,” she said.

“My husband is a very good man. He has tried for me physically, financially, and emotionally. Sexually, I am depriving my husband of a lot of things. There are many things I cannot do again because of my health. I want my husband to be happy again.”

She added that she wanted a co-wife who would love her husband, children, and herself, noting that peace and mutual respect were non-negotiable.

Mustapha further revealed that she had initially halted the search after receiving warnings from another woman who cautioned that a new wife might exploit her illness or even wish her harm.

However, she said she later reconsidered, insisting that her decision was not motivated by thoughts of death or hopelessness.

“I am not dying. I am not giving up anytime soon,” she said. “I am doing this because of the love I have for my husband and children. I want the happiness we used to have in my home.”

She disclosed that although her husband initially opposed the idea of taking another wife, he eventually agreed after persistent discussions, adding that the decision was formalised through a legal undertaking.

Outlining her requirements, Mustapha said the prospective wife must be loving, peaceful, faithful, educated, and from a good family background, stressing that the arrangement must be built on understanding and mutual respect.

EFCC Arraigns Mompha’s Associate Over Alleged ₦206m Fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned Sarumi Samusudeen Babafemi, an associate of social media personality Ismaila Mustapha (Mompha), alongside three corporate entities, over an alleged ₦206 million fraud before the Lagos State Special Offences Court, Ikeja.

Babafemi — Managing Director and CEO of 606 Autos Limited, 606 Music Limited, and Splash Off Entertainment Limited — faces five counts of conspiracy, concealment, and transfer of proceeds of crime, allegedly committed between 2013 and 2018. The EFCC claims the offences involved large sums, including ₦37.6 million and ₦93 million transferred to third parties, with knowledge that the funds were proceeds of unlawful acts.

When the charges were read, Babafemi pleaded not guilty. His defence lawyer, SAN Kunle Adegoke, filed a bail application, which the court granted, ordering that Babafemi be released to his counsel upon signing an affidavit of undertaking to appear in court. The trial is now scheduled to commence on March 24, 2026.

The EFCC said Babafemi acted in concert with Mompha and other co-accused — Ridwan Momodu Allison (Osama) and Richard Ugbah, who are currently at large — to facilitate the alleged money laundering scheme. This latest prosecution comes as part of broader EFCC efforts to tackle financial crimes and fraud networks linked to high-profile figures in Nigeria.

Police U-Turn: Worshippers Abducted in Kaduna, Security Forces Deployed

The Nigeria Police Force has officially confirmed that worshippers were abducted during attacks on churches in Kurmin Wali, Kajuru Local Government Area, Kaduna State, after initially denying the reports. The reversal comes as security agencies deploy tactical units to rescue the victims and secure the area.

Eyewitnesses and local sources say armed gunmen stormed multiple churches, including ECWA and Cherubim and Seraphim, during Sunday services, seizing dozens of worshippers. Community leaders report that over 170 people may have been abducted, with some survivors managing to escape.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and other local bodies have condemned the attacks and called for an urgent and thorough rescue operation. Authorities say they are intensifying efforts to locate and safely recover the victims, amid growing national concern over mass kidnappings in northern Nigeria.

The incident highlights ongoing security challenges in Kaduna State and other northern and central regions, where armed gangs and kidnappers frequently target vulnerable communities, often for ransom or political leverage. Families of the abducted worshippers continue to appeal for swift action as the rescue operations proceed.

Presidency Accuses IPOB of Spreading False Christian Genocide Claims in Nigeria

Presidency Accuses IPOB of Spreading False Christian Genocide Claims in Nigeria

The Presidency of Nigeria has accused the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) of deliberately spreading false claims of a Christian genocide, saying the narrative is being amplified to mislead international opinion and influence foreign policy. Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, described the reports as propaganda lacking verification and stressed that they do not reflect the reality of Nigeria’s security situation.

Bwala’s remarks follow widespread reports linking the so-called genocide narrative to statements from IPOB and affiliated actors, which have circulated on social media and attracted attention from international media and some foreign lawmakers. According to the Presidency, these claims oversimplify Nigeria’s complex security challenges, which include terrorism, banditry, and communal violence, rather than targeted religious persecution.

The controversy has drawn U.S. congressional attention, with some lawmakers reportedly considering diplomatic responses. In response, the Nigerian Government has engaged U.S.-based lobbyists to highlight its efforts in protecting all citizens, regardless of faith, and to correct misleading narratives surrounding violence in the country.

Religious and civic leaders in Nigeria remain divided. While some dismiss the genocide claims as exaggerated and potentially divisive, others acknowledge violence against Christians but caution that framing it as genocide misrepresents the broader security context. Analysts warn that the debate over religious persecution and misinformation has significant implications for national unity, international perception, and Nigeria’s foreign relations.
