‘Please save my marriage’ – Husband of woman accused of adultery begs Jigawa, Kano govs
The husband of a married woman, Tasleem, accused of having alleged illicit affairs with a Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, Auwalu Sankara, Nasiru Buba, has appealed to the Jigawa and Kano governors to save his marriage before it collapses.
To this end, Nasiru Buba appealed to the two governors of Kano and Jigawa States not to yield to pressure mounted on them to interfere in the case in the name of killing it.
Speaking to newsmen Tuesday in Kano, Nasiru Buba expressed concern that the actions of Hisbah and the subsequent redirection of the case to the AIG Zone One office for investigation—where the police have had it in custody for almost two weeks—speak volumes of alleged moves to kill the case.
“Let me say categorically that this case has been with the police in Kano for the last two weeks, and they have effectively investigated it. Hisbah is also aware of the case; therefore, all I need is for the governors of Jigawa and Kano to help me ensure that justice is done in this matter.”
Nasiru Buba, in the same vein, accused the legal counsel of his wife of lying against him, claiming that he had divorced his wife a long time ago and that he has been maltreating her, including firing gunshots in the course of their disagreements.
He said, “This lawyer has seriously lied against me because, in the first place, Tasleem is still my wife, and she lives in my house. In the second place, I don’t have a gun, let alone firing it during our disagreements.”
The husband urged his wife’s counsel to immediately withdraw his allegations against him and put the record straight; otherwise, he will seek redress to clear his name.
He noted in dismay that, “The lawyer lied that I divorced my wife two years ago, but our recent pictures showing myself and her in my house celebrating Eid Kabeer debunk that insinuation. The car she was caught with is also my personal car, which I bought not less than two weeks ago. So what is he talking about?”

EndBadGovernance: Starving children facing charges of mutiny unacceptable – Ex-UN Rapporteur
A former United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Trafficking, Professor Joy Ngozi Ezeilo, SAN, has condemned the Nigerian government’s decision to file charges against minors over the #EndBadGovernance protests.
Ezeilo described the development as an ugly phenomenon, which she stressed is unacceptable.
Ezeilo stated that children’s rights are human rights, and that Nigerian children’s rights must be respected and upheld.
The statement comes amid the controversy surrounding the arraignment of the malnourished #EndBadGovernance protesters.
DAILY POST reported the uproar and public outcry that greeted the arraignment of protesters, mostly minors, who participated during the recent #EndBadGovernance protest.
Ezeilo, also a former Dean of Faculty of Law, University of Nigeria, maintained that “the administration of criminal or the juvenile justice system must ensure a treatment that promotes children’s sense of dignity and worth, considers their age, and aims at their reintegration into society to assume a constructive role”.
In a post on her X handle on Sunday, Ezeilo stated that recent events had significantly undermined the nation’s justice system.
She stressed that it represents a clear violation of state, national, regional, and international legal frameworks concerning children’s rights and the justice system.
The statement reads: “Children who are in conflict with the law should be redirected away from the formal judicial process. Recent events have significantly undermined our justice system, representing a clear violation of state, national, regional, and international legal frameworks concerning children’s rights and the justice system.
“Children who are alleged to have committed crimes must be kept separate from adults in detention facilities. Their privacy and identities should be protected. Detention and trial should only be used as a last resort, and if necessary, a Juvenile Court or Juvenile Judge should handle such proceedings.
“The administration of criminal or the juvenile justice system must ensure a treatment that promotes their sense of dignity and worth, considers their age, and aims at their reintegration into society to assume a constructive role.
“This ugly phenomenon of starving children facing charges of mutiny and treasonable felonies must stop. It shames us as a nation. We demand accountability now for those who failed to respect extant laws. A prosecutor should know better and always do the right thing in the temple of justice”.
Children’s rights are human rights, and Nigerian children’s rights must be respected and upheld. Children who are in conflict with the law should be redirected away from the formal judicial process. Recent events have significantly undermined our justice system, representing a…
