COUPLE CHARGED FOR POSTING NEIGHBOUR’S NUDE VIDEO ONLINE

This was the outcome of the advice by Directorate of Public Prosecution, DPP, who has now taken over the matter for prosecution.
In letter dated 3 November, 2017 to the Deputy Commissioner of Police at SCIID Panti, Yaba, signed by the Assistant Director of DPP, Mr. M.T. Adeoye, the directorate stated so.
The advice stated that going by the facts available in the duplicate case file, that it was obvious there were sufficient facts to establish prima facie case of sexual assault and sending of obscene pictures on social media by the suspects.
It further stated that the case file revealed that Obinna called the husband of the victim, one Kenneth Nwakaji to come and collect his N1.2m share of the profit they made on a business transaction they had together. But Kenneth was unable to go and had to send his wife who was the victim to go to the hotel and collect the money on his behalf.
It was learnt that when the wife went to the hotel in Egbeda area of Lagos, Obinna offered her a bottle of Guinness malt drink which she drank and immediately became unconscious. It was scooped that Obinna removed all her clothes in the hotel room and  sexually assaulted her. He recorded the video of the whole assault on his phone as a bargaining power to her husband to forget his own share of the profit.
When the victim – a mother of three kids regained her consciousness, she discovered that she was totally naked and was then shown the video of the assault. She could not raise alarm because she was scared of losing her marriage.
However, on 27 March 2017 she discovered that her nude pictures had gone viral in the neighbourhood and it was traced to Obinna’s wife, Chinyere.
The DPP informed the police that the duplicated file brought to their office was retained to enable the office to obtain the necessary information papers to file the matter at the High Court.
The couple who had four kids had remained in prison custody because their relations refused to bail them.

HOW I BROKE 28-YEAR OAU RECORD’ – GRADUATING MEDICAL STUDENT WITH 12 DISTINCTIONS

Aarinola Olaiya who is set to become the first medical student to graduate with distinction in Surgery at the Obafemi Awolowo University since 1989 in this interview, she achieved the feat.
Read excerpts below;
What major factor inspired your academic performance in OAU?
I really cannot explain it. What I can say is that the grace of God has been at work from my first day in the university. Apart from that, I am a focused person. I always like to have a goal in mind and I make sure that I focus on that goal without giving room to distractions. I think this is what happened. Right from the day I was admitted into the university, I made sure that I remained focused in my studies.
As an undergraduate of Medicine, what was your daily routine like?
Every day, I would wake up, have my bath and attend lectures. I usually go to the classroom in the morning. Sometimes, I would attend a lecture at 8am till about 4pm. Then I would return to my hostel to have some rest and attend to other things or proceed on call. Sometimes I would stay on call till the following day. Basically my daily routine was like that.
Did you have time for leisure?
Of course, I had. But, weekends were very important to me. I spent most weekends studying. The higher I went in medical school, the more time I created to read my studies.
Didn’t you attend parties at weekends?
No. I never had time for parties. That wasn’t my idea of leisure. I just went out with my friends to eat and then, we would have fun during the day before returning to the hostel.
What kind of fun?
We went out to eateries to have lunch, take pictures and so on. We didn’t go to clubs or drink alcoholic beverages.
What kind of friends did you keep at school?
I had just a few friends in the university. They were all purpose-driven people who knew where they were heading to.
What kind of relationship did you have with your parents?
My parents have been very supportive from day one, especially my mum. She keeps me going all the time. My siblings have been very understanding, too. They accepted me the way I am and kept encouraging me all the while.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Yes. I have a boyfriend, but I never allowed him to come between me and my studies. He does not live in Ile-Ife. So he visits me in school sometimes. Most of the time, we communicate to each other via the telephone.
Why did you choose to study medicine?
I had always known that I would be a doctor. I actually got admission to study Botany in my first year at OAU. That was in 2010. But then, I knew that I wasn’t going to end up being a botanist. I knew I was going to be a doctor. So I sat another UTME and here I am today.
Did you plan to graduate with distinction?
I did not set out to graduate with distinction in the university. I just think that I tried to strive for perfection. Although it is good to have goals because they keep you going, who you are really matters a lot. Then there is the God factor. I still believe that the grace of God has a lot to do with my achievement.
How would you describe your experience in medical school?
Medical school is not for just anybody. If you have a daughter that wants to study medicine, you have to make her think seriously about her ambition. You have to ask her if she really wants to be a doctor. You have to count the costs before she goes ahead to study medicine.
Initially, I was excited about being in Medical school. In Part Two, I started reading big books. Then I started getting used to the language of Anatomy, Medical bio-chemistry and more. With time, I got used to it. To keep going, even as some people were being withdrawn from medical school, I just had to hold my head high. For someone like me that was getting many distinctions, keeping up with the success story was tough. But I didn’t expect that my efforts would result in such huge success. I only wanted to try my best and do everything possible in my power to get things done.
What are your plans for the future?
I don’t want to comment on my plan for the future, but I am working on it.
