Dino Melaye after the wife of Bola Tinubu

The wife of the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu, Oluremi, has sought police protection from Senator Dino Melaye, Sahara Reporters says. Senator Tinubu, who represents the Lagos central senatorial district in the Senate, appealed to the Acting Inspector-General of Police after the minacious July 14 behavior of Mr. Melaye towards her during a discussion
She writes: “It was the timely intervention of a number of colleagues which prevented Senator Melaye from unleashing a physical attack on me. “However, as the leadership of the Senate did not call him to order in the circumstance, he proceeded to threaten my life without any provocation whatsoever.” Senator Tinubu recalled Melaye’s antecedents in the federal legislature, saying:
 “particularly in the House of Representatives where a brawl led by him had led to the untimely death of a member.” Oluremi added in the letter that she decided not to neglect his threat to her life''
It is not yet clear if the Acting IGP has received Senator Tinubu’s request. Different senators who were present during the fracas told reporters that Mr. Melaye said he would beat up and impregnate Senator Tinubu and that he would subject no repercussions.

He later declined the reports, but not the fracas, without nooting exactly what he had said to Senator Tinubu during his outburst. APC leader Tinubu warned Mr. Melaye not to consider his own hype should he beat up another senator, saying the Kogi Senator had sunk to his “lowest ever.”

“From this point, it is downhill for him,” Tinubu promised, defining Melaye as “a disgrace to the Senate of the Republic‎.” A group of Lagos women loyal to Senator Tinubu on July 18, organise a street demonstration in the city against the harassment by Melaye. The women demanded a written apology for their senator.

10 years old girl,raped and killed in Port Harcourt

A middle-aged Hausa man identified as Mallam Bashir, has been arrested by the Rivers State Police Command for allegedly raping a 10-year-old girl to death when she went to buy a sachet milk from his kiosk in the Rumuibekwe area of Port Harcourt, the state capital.

It was gathered that the little girl was sent by her mother at about 8pm to buy the item from Bashir who runs the provision shop in an estate in the area when he pounced on her and violently defiled her and she gave up the ghost few days later in a private hospital from internal injuries.

The state chapter of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), as well as the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), have come out to embark on a campaign for the suspect not to be granted bail until he is tried.

The chairperson of NAWOJ in the state, Lillian Okonkwo, alleged that friends and relatives of Bashir had been making efforts to get him out on bail, noting that before he was finally arrested, the police was initially reluctant to go after him until NAWOJ and FIDA mounted pressure on them.


“It is unfortunate that she died. But we are appealing that the bail being sought by the relatives of Bashir should not be granted,” Okonkwo said in a statement''
