Body Of Ebola Victim Cremated In Lagos To Avoid Outbreak

The body of the first victim of Ebola Virus Disease in Nigeria, who died in Lagos on Friday, has been cremated. Details of the cremation were not available at press time but Sunday Vanguard gathered that the event was witnessed by officials of the Lagos State Ministry of Health and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, led by its Project Director, Professor Abdulsalam Nasidi, among others.

The decision to cremate the body of the victim, it was further gathered, may not be unconnected with the deadly nature of the Ebola Virus which is known to be easily transmissible from human to human during handling of corpses of victims.

The World Health Organisation recommends that in communities where there is an outbreak of Ebola, appropriate containment measures including burial of the dead should be properly handled.

While stating that people who die from Ebola should be promptly and safely buried, WHO notes that cremation, which is the application of high temperature to reduce bodies to basic chemical components (ashes), is ideal for safe disposal of bodies of persons who die during outbreaks of highly infectious diseases such as Ebola Virus in order to minimise further transmission.

In 2013 the Lagos State Government introduced its Voluntary Cremation Law under which a person may signify interest to be cremated at death or a deceased’s family members who must attain the age of 18 years, can decide to have the corpse cremated.

Under the law, the state government can also cremate unclaimed corpses in its mortuaries after a period of time and the ashes disposed after a 14-day notice with approval of the Commissioner for Health.

Ritualists beheaded a lady in Ondo

Some suspected ritualists yesterday morning beheaded a yet to be identified middle aged lady around Arigidi-Akoko road , Akoko North West in Ondo State.

The lifeless body was discovered by a passers-by, who raised his voice, thereby attracting residents of the community and later became the talk of the town.

The people, particularly the women were wondering who might have done the evil act to the unknown lady.

It was yet to be known if the deceased was an indigene of the community or the lifeless body was only dropped by the ritualists in the community.

Already, remains of deceased have been removed by the Homicide Section of the Nigeria Police for possible identification and investigation.

The Police Public Relations Officer [PPRO], Wole Ogodo confirmed the incident, saying investigation has begun to unravel those behind the killings.

An indigene of Arigidi-Akoko, who spoke with DailyPost but preferred anonymity, said such always occur whenever election period is approaching.

According to him, “My spirit told me this evil work was done by politicians because I have discovered that anytime election is approaching, we always witness things like killing and kidnapping. I am urging the youth, particular the ladies to know the kind of friends they keep.

“Just of recent, a female student of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, a nearby community to our own town was lured by her friend to a house built in a bush. Thank God for the Okada man who took them to the house, but became suspicious when it was only one of them who came out of the house. He quickly put a call across to the Police, but before the Police’s arrival, the other girl had been beheaded by the ritualists. It was later discovered by the Police that the other girl sold her friend to the ritutalists.

“I want to advise our youth, particularly the ladies that they should know the kind of friends they keep. They should not trust anyone, even their best friends and they should stop running after material things. Though, we are yet to know what led to the death of the young lady found by the road side in Aridigi-Akoko, we hope that very soon, the Police will bring the criminals behind this ugly incident to book”.

Female Yahoo! Executive Sued For Sexual Harassment By Female Employee

Sex scandal: Maria Zhang, right, a senior director of engineering at Yahoo Mobile, has been named in a lawsuit filed by Nan Shi (right), a former principal software engineer at Yahoo, who accused her boss of forcing her into an intimate relationship 

A high-level female Yahoo executive helping to lead the company's mobile-content efforts was named Friday in a state lawsuit filed by a woman working under her who accused the supervisor of sexually harassing her.

In her complaint, Nan Shi says she was working as a principal software engineer when the supervisor, industry veteran Maria Zhang, forced her to have sex against her will on multiple occasions, promising her "a bright future at Yahoo'' if she acquiesced. After coercing her to have "oral and digital sex,'' Shi says when she finally resisted Zhang's advances, the executive retaliated by giving her a bad performance review and removing her as a project lead. When she reported the abuse to Yahoo, Shi says, the company did nothing to stop it, and then put her on what eventually became an unpaid leave followed by final termination that took effect Friday.

Man Rapes Neighbour’s 9-Year Old Daughter

The police at Ilasamaja division on Monday, arrested a factory worker, Victor Nkoli for allegedly having carnal knowledge of his neighbour’s 9-year old daughter two months after his wedding with his wife in Lagos State, western Nigeria.

The incident happened at Gbadamosi Street, Ilasamaja, Lagos where the suspect and the parent of the victim reside.

Doctor’s report obtained at General Hospital, Isolo, confirmed that the little girl was defiled and had infection that has been causing her itches in her private part.

The police source confirmed that the doctor’s report confirmed that the victim was infected with a disease called staphylococus.

The victim alleged that Nkoli, who hails from Isiala Ngwa in Abia State, had defiled her on several occasions whenever her mother left her at home and went to work.

Trouble started for Nkoli when the victim’s teacher observed she was not concentrating in the class and was always busy scratching her private part and was not walking properly in school.

This prompted the teacher to ask her what happened to her and she revealed that Nkoli has been having sex with her and told her not to tell anyone.

She also said after the sex in his one-room apartment, he would give her N50 to buy biscuits and sweets.

The school management contacted her mother and informed her their observation and what the victim said.

Consequently, the mother reported the matter to the police and Nkoli was arrested.

While the victim was referred to the General Hospital at Isolo, the hospital’s medical report  confirmed the defilement and infection.

When P.M.NEWS contacted Nkoli, he denied the allegation and said he only  assisted the victim whenever her mother went to work.

He said the mother separated from her husband who returned to his home town in Akwa Ibom State and since then, the victim has been living with her mother alone.

“I just married and wedded two months ago and I have been living peacefully with my wife before this incident,” he said.

He said he was shocked when the girl told the police that he had sex with her, but could not explain why she singled him out among those living in the compound.

Nkoli was charged before Ilasamaja Magistrate’s court on Monday for the alleged rape. However, he was returned back to the police cell at Ilasamaja Division because the court did not sit after he was referred to a family court.

Police sources confirmed that he will be arraigned at the family court at Ikeja, on Tuesday because of the age of the victim.
