I’m happy with the police ‘orderly room’ trial says sexually assaulted Kachi

A lady, Amadi Onyekachi, who was allegedly molested by an official of Federal Special Anti-robbery Squad says she is happy with the Police “Orderly Room” trial.

Onyekachi told the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Ilorin that she was only disappointed that the officer denied ever meeting her until she brought the matter before the Kwara Police Command.

“The officer, who molested me lied at the trial, so nothing has really changed.

“On the scale of 70 percent, I think I am satisfied with the organisation of the trial and how it went.

“I don’t know what the end result is going to be yet because he has lied already, so I am not sure yet if I am going to get justice,” she said.

Onyekachi said she was sad because the leader of the patrol team on the day of the incident also denied any contact with her.

Onyekachi had recently on the social media informed the public of what she went through in the hands of some police officers, who she claimed, harassed her sexually during a stop and search operation.

A representative of the International Federation of Women Lawyers, Ronke Adeyemi, who accompanied the victim to the trial, also told NAN that she was happy with the process of the trial.

Adeyemi said she was impressed by the way the police had been handling the matter even before the commencement of the trial on Tuesday, Oct. 24.

“The man, who presided over the trial, is quite competent and full of experience of such matter.

“The man was very fair to both sides; he allowed the victim and officer to question themselves where necessary.

“I am confident she will get justice because of the determination of the senior police officers in the state,” she said.

Adeyemi said that what was uppermost in the mind of the victim is that elements like the one who harassed her should not be in the system anymore.

“The officer, who molested her, should not be allowed to remain in the force.

“People like him are dangerous and he could have done worse things that day.

“For me and FIDA, we should not have such wicked fellows in the Nigeria police force again, ” Adeyemi said.

NAN reports that the trial, which commenced on Tuesday, Oct. 24, has been adjourned until Tuesday, Oct. 31.

World’s first sex shop shuts down, declares bankruptcy

Germany’s pioneering sex shop chain, Beate Uhse, said Friday that it has filed for insolvency, as the empire started by a female World War II pilot fails to rise to the challenge posed by erotic e-commerce. In its hey day, the group sold lingerie, erotic films and sex products. Uhse began her foray into erotic business in 1946, when she put together a pamphlet called “Document X” describing how women could avoid pregnancy. In post-war Germany, her advice was in high demand and she sold thousands of copies of her brochures. The mail order business thrived and the former fighter pilot and member of the Luftwaffe opened in 1962 her first shop in the German town of Flensburg. Named Institute of Marital Hygiene, the store selling lingerie and contraceptives became the world’s first sex shop. Her activities often ran counter to the morality of post-war Germany and she was called before the courts in thousands of legal suits filed against her. Yet she remained frank and unashamed about...

The name ‘State of Osun’ is illegal, court declares

An Osun State High Court sitting in Ilesa has said the changing of ‘Osun State’ to ‘State of Osun’ by the administration of Governor Rauf Aregbesola is illegal. Justice Yinka Afolabi, while delivering the judgment on Thursday in a case instituted by Chairman, Nigerian Bar Association, Ilesa branch, Mr. Kanmi Ajibola, challenging the legality of the “State of Osun Land Use Charge Law,” held that the law and its makers were unknown to the 1999 Constitution. Aregbesola had changed the name of the state from ‘Osun State’ to ‘State of Osun’ in 2011; but the NBA chairman, who is a human rights activist, approached the court in 2016 and asked the court to declare as null and void all transactions done by the state with the name ‘State of Osun.’ Afolabi also declared that the makers of the law, who are currently serving as members of the State House of Assembly, were not sworn in as members of the ‘State of Osun House of Assembly,’ but as members of ‘Osun State House of Assembly,’ going by...

John McCain has brain cancer, his office says.

Veteran US Republican Senator John McCain has been diagnosed with brain cancer and is reviewing treatment options, according to his office. The options may include chemotherapy and radiation, his doctors said. The 80-year-old politician is in "good spirits" recovering at home. The tumour was discovered during a surgery to remove a blood clot from above his left eye last week. A Vietnam veteran, Mr McCain spent more than five years as a prisoner of war. The six-term senator and 2008 Republican presidential candidate underwent surgery at a clinic in Phoenix, in the state of Arizona, last Friday. Tissue analysis revealed that a primary brain tumour known as glioblastoma was associated with the clot, a statement from the Mayo Clinic said. "The senator's doctors say he is recovering from his surgery 'amazingly well' and his underlying health is excellent," it added.
