I won’t compete with you, Muslim lady tells would-be hubby’s wife
“If your husband informs you he would be getting married to me as a second wife, please wifey, do not panic! Because…1. I am not getting married to our husband to compete with you, you’re my sister in Islam and that we share same husband doesn’t make either of us bad women.2. By Allah, visiting seers and soothsayers aren’t in my blood, I never saw my mum nor sisters go diabolical and with Allah’s guidance I will NEVER tow that path till I take my last breath.3. I will never encourage our husband’s bad behaviors even when it is towards to you. I will try as much as I can to always bring his mind to it whenever he is towing the wrong path. I do not want to know if your wife is a weakling in za oza room or her food tastes horrible.READ ALSO:4. My friends, sisters or even parents would not have that chance to advice I hurt or treat you or your kids badly, I do not even have family members to do this. My sisters are yours, just as my mum is your mum, if I offend you, call my mum to lay a complain. In fact, my sisters would tilt more towards you and always support you as they are all first wives and them dey beef me5. Know that your children are mine too and my household is always open for them to come in anytime! I do not fear your reactions when I treat them wrongly but I fear Allah’s punishment. So know that, even when you’re absent, I won’t harm them.6. It is absolutely normal for us get jealous, especially when our husband begins to tilt or becomes fond of one of us more. However, what isn’t normal, is trying to hurt me in whatever way or paint me bad to our husband just to gain his pity.7. When it’s your day, I am going to try not to interrupt with calls nor chats so you could have a swell time together, plus i expect same from you. Of course, not in the case of emergencies or even important matters.So, no fear my sister and I pray Allah blesses our marriage with our husband.

Hisbah confiscates 142 cartons of alcohol heading to Buhari’s local govt
The Katsina State Hisbah Board has seized about 142 cartons of alcohol intended for delivery to Daura Local Government Area of the state.
Dr. Aminu Usman, the state Hisbah Commander, revealed this information during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday.
The alcohol was seized on Monday during a comprehensive patrol aimed at eliminating immoral behaviors and indiscipline, Usman stated.
The operation, which took place along the state’s ring road, resulted in the interception of a vehicle carrying the cartons of alcohol. Malam Nafi’u Ma’azu-Akilu supervised the task, ensuring the confiscated items were delivered to the board’s headquarters for further investigation.

In a related incident, the board arraigned two women for loitering and immoral conduct. This marks the fourth time these individuals have faced such charges.
The women, identified as Fatima Umar (Yargata) and Raliya Isah (Yar Ruma), both approximately 24 years old, were previously warned and counseled to reform their behavior. Their failure to comply led to their arraignment before a Sharia Court.
Both women pleaded guilty and were remanded in a correctional facility until further trial on Thursday.
Usman urged parents, teachers, and community leaders to enhance their efforts in promoting discipline and good morals among the youth. He also called for continued support for the board’s initiatives to restore community values.

Anambra couple arrested for starving their five underage boys
Anambra couple arrested for starving their five underage boys
A couple has been arrested and handed over to the police over the treatment meted out to their five underage sons in the Osumenyi community, Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Mr Uche and Mrs Peace Mbonu are accused of alleged child abuse, starvation and refusal to provide necessities for their five underaged boys.
The arrest was carried out by the security operatives of the Nnewi South LGA before they were handed over to the police through the state Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo.
This was made known on Saturday, June 29, in a statement by the media aide to the commissioner, Chidimma Ikeanyionwu.
The statement read, “On why they starved the kids, the couple denied the allegation and stated in their defence that the kids are always in the habit of eating raw rice, which makes them infuriated.
“While pleading for pardon, the couple said that they always feed the kids but that the children prefer eating raw rice, which they don’t know where they picked up the behaviour from.
“On his part, the oldest of the kids, Chigbo Mbonu, revealed that Peace Mbonu is his father’s third wife, and ever since she came into their family, they have faced a lot of untold hardship.

“Chigbo Mbonu, who is currently 17 years old, said that they feed once a day for the days their stepmother will give them food but rely on raw rice and palm kernel after hunger must have greatly dealt with them.
He went ahead to explain that he, at some point, stopped schooling because he helped his father in his block industry. He noted that he moulds blocks with four bags of cement on a bad day and six bags on normal days.
“Further physical examination of the children by the Women Affairs commissioner showed that they have been greatly starved and in need of medical care.
“It is important to note that Mr Uche Mbonu has married two wives before finally settling with the third one Peace Mbonu, who was his sales girl, and that the kids are all product of his previous marriages.
“According to the security operatives who helped in apprehending the culprits, they explained that after they got the husband, his wife Peace ran to Nnewi, her maternal home to hide before they eventually apprehended her too.”
While reacting to the development, the Commissioner for Women Affairs, Ify Obinabo, condemned the act and stated that the state government will continue to ensure that child labour, abuse and all forms of maltreatment are reduced to the barest minimum.
The couple has since been handed over to the police for further investigation, after which the matter will be charged to court.
