Wife of FCMB MD denies leaving husband
Hauwa Nuhu, wife of the embattled Managing Director of the First City Monument Bank (FCMB), Adam Nuru, has denied moving out of their matrimonial home to protest her husband alleged sex scandal with a former employee of the bank.
She also debunked a reported plan to file a divorce case to finally free her of the marriage to Nuhu.
Indeed, Hauwa said in a statement just published by Saturday Trust that she was solidly behind her husband in the trying times and that she had never contemplated leaving him.
Her husband was made to proceed on leave as FCMB MD to allow for an investigation into the alleged sex scandal.
Hauwa, in a statement, debunked the speculations that she left her husband, describing such reports as malicious and deliberate falsehood.
She stated, “I want to clarify for the avoidance of doubt that I am still very much with my husband. This fake news was published by an online newspaper in a calculated attempt to further demonise my beloved husband and a loving father.
“Let me reiterate that at no time did I contemplate leaving my matrimonial home or filing for divorce as no grounds exist for such.”
In the past report, her family sources were quoted as saying that Hauwa had not only moved out of Nuru’s house but also informed her lawyer to prepare divorce papers so she could quit the marriage.
One of the sources was quoted as saying, “I know she has moved out. This case is beyond Moyo or the late Tunde. His marriage is about to crash now. The wife and her family are really giving him problems. They are ready to deal with him. The Moyo stuff is part one; he is currently facing the second part with his wife.”
This is after her husband had embarked on a voluntary leave following the alleged paternity scandal.
Some Nigerians had petitioned the FCMB to strip Nuru of his position for allegedly ‘fathering’ two children with a married employee of the bank, named Moyo Thomas.
This was said to have ultimately caused the death of Moyo’s estranged husband, Tunde Thomas, from a heart attack after battling with depression.
Moyo has, however, denied the allegations that the FCMB MD is the father of her two children, insisting that her late husband remains their father.

Sokoto governor axes 15 district heads over insecurity, others
Sokoto governor axes 15 district heads over insecurity, others
Sokoto State Government has sacked nine district heads for allegedly aiding insecurity and encouraging land racketeering.
The state government also sacked another six district heads said to have been irregularly appointed by the immediate past government of the state.
Abubakar Bawa, the Press Secretary to Governor Ahmed Aliyu, announced this while briefing newsmen on the development on Tuesday.
Those axed over alleged insecurity are the district heads of Unguwar Lalle, Yabo, Wamakko, Tulluwa, llela, Dogon Daji, Kebbe, Alkammu and Giyawa.
Bawa said the six district heads were dropped because of the way they were haphazardly appointed and their rejection by their people.
The affected six district heads are Marafan Tangaza, Sarkin Gabas Kalambaina, Bunun Gongono, Sarkin Kudun Yar Tsakkuwa, Sarkin Tambuwal and Sarkin Yamman Torankavwa.
“The cases involving District Heads of Isa, Kuchi, Kilgori and Gagi have been re commended for further investigations,” Bawa added.
However, Sarkin Yakin Binji, senior counselor in the Suktanate Council, was transferred to Nabunkari while the District Head of Sabon Birni was deployed to Gatawa.
Bawa said this followed the recommendations of the Committee on the Review of the appointments of Traditional rulers, Renaming of Tertiary Institutions and the Dissolution of Governing Boards of State Parastatals.

The bride’s family had embarked on a journey to purchase clothing and other wedding materials in Kano. However, their plans took a harrowing turn when armed bandits targeted them.

Despite one of the bandits managing to escape, the brave passengers captured two AK-47 rifles.

Narrating how the events unfolded, the eyewitness said: “A few kilometres away from the Fangal Tama checkpoint, the travellers heard gunshots echoing all around.
‘’To their shock, they encountered two well-armed bandits on motorcycles, blocking the road and halting vehicles.
“The bandits immediately ordered the young woman (the bride-to-be), her father, mother, and two other relatives to exit their car.
‘’With guns pointed at them, the terrified family members were coerced to follow the bandits into the nearby forest.
“Realising the grave danger they faced in forced abduction, the passengers decided to act swiftly. They rallied together and launched an attack on one of the two bandits.
‘’In a fierce struggle, they managed to overpower him, resulting in his instant death. The other bandit, however, escaped, leaving behind his firearm.
“The courageous group retrieved the two guns and emerged from the forest. They promptly handed the weapons over to the military at a nearby checkpoint.’’
