"GIVE BIRTH TO NUMBER OF CHILDREN YOU CAN CATER FOR" ~~EMIR OF KANO CHARGES
The monarch said this when he spoke at the 60th Anniversary, Founder’s Day Lecture and Magazine Launch of Kaduna Capital School.
“You are allowed to marry two wives if you can maintain them. You are also allowed to produce 100 children if you can maintain and educate them, but if you cannot, please marry the number of wives you can maintain and produce the number of children you can take care of. We are obsessed by number as anything produced en masse is cheap. We have produced all these children like commodities .They are there on the streets and that is why they die and people don’t care because they have no value. They are also on drugs and people don’t care” he said

A day before, a similar, less peaceful protest was held to demand the release of detainees who were held in accordance with Trump's executive order. See video of the protest below... WATCH THE VIDEO HERE
POLICE ARRESTED TWO MEN IN CONNECTION WITH MURDER & POSSIBLE RAPE OF 10-YEAR OLD GIRL IN IBADAN !
The corpse of the child identified as Ope was found in a soak-away at Mosoke area between Ajibode and Apete communities, on January 6th, a day after she was declared missing.
The prime suspect is Nuru Danjuma (aka) Baba l’Oyo, 60, a menial worker and close friend of Ope’s father. Danjuma is said to often sent the deceased on errand whenever he was engaged for a menial job in the neighbourhood.
On the day Ope went missing, a search party with Baba L’Oyo as a member was set up to look for her combed the whole neighbourhood to no avail.
The second suspect, Alfa Abdulai Muritala, when the corpse of the girl was found in a soak-away near his house. Muritala went to the police station at Ojoo, Ibadan to lodge a formal complaint but was referred to the Apete Police Station, where the officers quickly swung into action.
According to investigations by the police, Ope was sighted allegedly with Baba l’Oyo on the day she disappeared, as she said to have helped him with some menial work at a house where the suspect worked that day.
Moreover, the owner of the house simply identified as Alhaja allegedly confirmed to the police that she saw Ope with Baba l’Oyo a day before she was declared missing.
It was further discovered that in the evening of the same day, Baba l’Oyo allegedly sent Ope to buy a bottle of soft drink and biscuit for him, a claim which was confirmed by the deceased’s elder sister and the woman who sold the soft drink and biscuit.
According to the police investigation, when the trader asked Ope who sent her on the errand, she claimed it was Baba l’Oyo. As she was taking the items to Baba l’Oyo, the deceased met her elder sister, claiming the prime suspect that sent her on the errand.
"It was after this that the little girl was discovered to have gone missing, Baba l’Oyo denying completely that she sent her on errand that day," the police alleged.
Speaking with Crime Reports at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Iyaganku, Ibadan, where the case was being handled, Baba l’Oyo, however, denied sending Ope on the errand, claiming whoever held a contrary view was only out to frame him up. The suspect, who had been separated from his wife after having a child for him, claimed he neither had anything to do with the disappearance or death of Ope.
He also told Crime Reports that since his separation with his wife, he used to patronise commercial sex workers at Mokola and Kara-Bodija areas of Ibadan to satisfy sexual urge.
However, the second suspect, Alfa Muritala, claimed he was on his way to somewhere on that Saturday morning, when some people came to seek permission to scoop the water that drained into his soak-away.
“I’ve not started using the soak-away, but water drains into it, and people who need it to mix cement or sand come to obtain my approval to scoop water from the soak-away. So on that Saturday morning, I gave permission to the person that came for that purpose, only for him to return a couple of minutes later to inform me that he found the corpse of a little girl in the soak-away.
"I was shocked, and the whole community was thrown into turmoil, but people insisted that it was Baba l’Oyo who was last seen with the girl. My residence is just beside the building Baba l’Oyo worked that Friday; so with the discovery of the body, I went to report at the Ojoo Police Station, where the case was transferred to the Apete Police Station, which oversees the community.
“I don’t know anything about this case; I don’t even have a relationship with Baba l’Oyo in the community, as I just know that he is into menial work, and anyone who needs to get anything done like clearing bushes, calls him.
“It is certain that somebody intentionally dumped the corpse of the little girl in the soak-away, and I am happy that the police investigation is already adding up with the statement of witnesses, who saw Ope in the evening of Friday, when she said Baba l’Oyo sent her on the errand to buy soft drink and biscuit,” Alfa Muritala alleged.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Oyo State Command, Adekunle Ajisebutu, who confirmed the case, said that an autopsy would be carried out to determine the actual cause of the death of the girl. However, he alleged that evidences given by witnesses indicated that the principal suspect, Bab L’Oyo knew more than he was telling the police.
He promised that the prime suspect would be charged to court once the ongoing investigation was concluded.

PRESIDENT ADAMA BARROW REMOVES "ISLAMIC" FROM GAMBIA'S NAME
According to Aljazeera, the president made this known at his first news conference since returning to take office on Thursday, January 26.
The country was renamed Islamic Republic of The Gambia by former President Yahya Jammeh on 11 December 2015.
As at the time of making the change declaration, Jammeh said it was designed to distance the country further from its colonial past.
According to Barrow, The Gambia, despite having a 90 percent Muslim population, with the rest Christian and animist, was a republic "not the Islamic republic,"
Recall that Yahya Jammeh, who was defeated by Adama Barrow in the December 1, 2016 presidential poll, finally left the country in the evening of Saturday, January 21, 2017 after 22 years of holding sway as the president of the tiny West African country.
Barrow on the other hand finally returned to Gambia from Senegal to take over the ruling the state by 4p.m. on Thursday, January 26.
