Chiawolam, who was among students who sat for the Junior Secondary School education (JSS) examination recently from Isieke Model Community High School, was reported to have dashed into the bush at the back of the family house with her mother’s head tie, climbed on top of a guava tree and hung herself two days after she was raped by the three beastly boys. The rape incident happened on Sunday, June 28, 2015, while she hung herself on Tuesday morning, July 7, 2015.

Chiawolam’s father, Mr Umeh said that early in the morning that Tuesday, her mother called her to find out how she was raped and she complained that she was having pains all over her body. The mother told her to endure till they come back from the police station that morning, but unknown to them, the deceased had another plan.

“She took her jacket and what we later discovered was a scarf and left, warning that nobody should mention her name. We thought she was going to the toilet,” the distraught father said.

The members of Umeh family, who are natives of Amaeke Abam in Ohafia LGA, have been residing in Inyienyi village, where they acquired land and built a house.

A family source disclosed that Comfort had told her mother earlier that she would not be able to stay alive to behold the faces of those who defiled her, but the mother did not understand what she meant.

It was her deafening cry while struggling between life and death on top of the tree that drew people’s attention to the bush. They then rushed to the scene to discover that her tongue had already protruded out of her mouth showing that she had given up the ghost.

Comfort’s mother, Mrs Ekenna Umeh, a prophetess who runs a prayer ministry in her home said that the deceased would have clocked 15 years in October this year.

She said that her daughter did not like having any affair with boys as she swore that she would keep her virginity for her husband. She was said to have told her mother that she would complete her studies and start working before considering marrying. The deceased mother alleged that one Ndubuisi had been disturbing her daughter since they moved to the area in 2013, and had in her presence threatened to deal with her if she refused his amorous overtures.

Her words: “In my presence, I had asked my daughter and she told me that relationship is not her prob¬lem now until she is through with her education.

She hardly collects gifts from boys nor accepts free rides when coming back from school.”

Chiawolam was said to have gone to see her sister in a nearby village. On her way from the visit, the three boys allegedly abducted and took her into a nearby forest, where they have a cult house and shrine.

Explaining further, the mother told Sunday Sun “While this was going on, my daughter told me that she was still shouting, but nobody could come to her rescue. She said that immediately they got into the forest, near Inyienyi stream, one of the boys named Ndubuisi brought out a dagger and threatened to kill her if she refused to submit herself to them. Eventually, they over-pow¬ered her, tore off her skirt, blouse, pants, brassier and forcefully raped her in turns. She said that when they were doing all those things to her, she passed out, only to wake and see herself in the pool of her own blood.

It became difficult for her to stand up and walk out of the forest, as her head was turning and every area of her abdomen and private region was paining her. She said that she looked at herself to discover that blood filled the whole place like where a goat was slaughtered for sacrifice.”

Mrs, Umeh said she never imagined that her daughter would take her life. She called on the police and all relevant authorities to give her justice and ensure that her daughter did not die in vain by making those who pushed her to suicide pay for their sins.

The Police Public Relations Officer for Abia State, Mr Ezekiel Udeviotu, who confirmed the incident described it as unfortunate, stating that the police was doing all within its powers to arrest the culprits, who were said to have fled the community.

Pics: Nigerian lady repairs bad street in Lekki using her own money

Media personality and Vlogger Ariyike Akinbobola did something most won't do. She repaired the bad road leading to her home after waiting endlessly for government to carry out repairs. She bought broken blocks and sand and poured it on the road - which is usually flooded after heavy downpour - to make it motorable. What the street looks like before (left) and what it looks like now (right). Well done to her. More photos after the cut...

Buhari blamed as workers cripple OAU over 64-month owed allowances

Authorities of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) have blamed the President Muhammadu Buhari led Federal Government for its failure to meet the demands of its non-academic staff who have stalled activities at the institution.

Authorities of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) have blamed the President Muhammadu Buhari led Federal Government for its failure to meet the demands of its non-academic staff who have stalled activities at the institution.

Members of the local branch of the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) had downed tools from Friday, 3rd of July following the expiry of a 21-day ultimatum given to the management by the union to pay up owed allowances accumulated over 64 months.

OAU NASU Chairman, Wole Odewumi, was quoted saying that the earned allowances were part of an agreement signed with the Federal Government since 2009 but have remained unpaid.

Odewumi alleged that the OAU management had selectively paid the ‘Responsibility Allowance’ which a few senior staff are entitled to, refusing to pay the ‘hazard allowance’ which affects most NASU members.

“They implemented the one that concerns them, but the one that concerns majority of the workers, they have left unpaid. We held several meetings with them over the matter," Odewumi said.

"Eventually, we gave them an ultimatum which elapsed last Friday.”

But the Public Relations Officer of the university, Abiodun Olarewaju, claims that that the Federal Government is the one causing the delay in the payments.

“We issued a circular that as soon as the Federal Government pays the second tranche of that money, we will pay everybody accordingly," Olarewaju said.

The PRO also said the allegations of selective payment of the allowances were not true.

“I am not aware of any ‘selective payment’. If they are talking about ‘responsibility allowance’, members of NASU who head units were also paid that allowance," he said.

“Responsibility allowance means if you head a unit and you are not given an official car, but use your money or car to run errands for the university, you are paid a stipend of about N6,000 or N8000.

"It is not selective.”

He urged the workers to reason with the management.

"We are just appealing to them to give peace a chance and go back to their offices," he added.

"No federal university in this country has paid that money.

"They should just give us some time."

It will be recalled that member of the University of Ibadan (UI) chapter NASU on the 1st of July brought academic activities at the institution to a standstill in a similar fashion.

Kim Kardashian has been referred to a goat in a new report.

Lbcblog reports that according to some animal behaviorists, the 34-year-old star could have been a goat in her past life. This revelation was made after Kim's pictures from her recent photoshoot with System Magazine were made public on July 9.

The site reports that in an effort to raise awareness on the plight of Walia Ibexes (a type of goat that live 2,500-4,500m up the steep cliffs of the Ethiopian highlands and are the Alpine Ibexes cousins) - now critically endangered - Kim posed in a manner similar to that of the mountain goat, demonstrating her softer, more environmentally conscious side.

    

the derriere-driven star took to the French countryside, armed with a pair of conscious stilettos, eco-friendly platinum locks and a nude body suit and posed on a mountain of earth, defying the dangers involved with coming into direct contact with dirt.

The animal behaviorists explained to the site that her pose, which mimics the goats, may serve as a trigger for mating, hence saving the declining Walias species. "She has genuine concern for goats," they explained, "she thinks she may have been one in her past life."

Ibexus Aurelius, the Ibexes official spokesperson expressed gratitude to the star and all those involved in the shoot.
