Nigerian Student Stabs His Brother To Death For Stopping From Committing Suicide

A Nigerian student, Mustapha Musa Osmanu studying in Ghana has been arrested for the alleged gruesome murder of one of his brothers.
Osmanu, 23, who is studying Information Communication Technology (ICT) at Sikkims Manipal University, Accra, allegedly stabbed two of his brothers at their home in Accra Newtown last Friday, after been high on cocaine.
Nazifi, who happens to be the oldest of them all, died immediately, while the other brother that was stabbed, Jamiru, is recuperating at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
The police say Osmanu had sneaked into their kitchen around 3.30pm, picked a knife and first stabbed Jamiru Osman, 23, in the chest before stabbing Nazifi Osman Mohammed, 27, in the chest and the stomach, leading to his death.
In his statement to the Ghanaian police, Musa claimed said he was under the influence of drugs – he had taken 20 doses of Diazpam 5gm tablets, to enable him study that night but it backfired.
“I admit committing the act. I regret my action and I even wanted to commit suicide after the act but Jamiru took the knife from me. I was out of control after taking the drug. I regret having taken the drugs which enables me study for more than five hours a day”, he said
The Accra Regional Police Commander, DCOP Christian Tetteh Yohuno confirmed the arrest, saying “Jamiru narrated that after seeing the intestines of Nazifi gushing out and blood flowing from his stomach, he immediately had to pretend he did not see the one who stabbed them after he was asked by suspect whether he saw something”.
“The victim said if he had said yes, Musa Osmanu would have killed him instantly which was why he said he did not know the one who stabbed them”, DCOP Yohuno said.

Nigerian schoolgirls' home town in despair after president cancels visit

Relatives of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls who have been missing for more than a month after being kidnapped by Islamic militants have voiced anger and despair after the country's president cancelled a visit to their home town, citing security concerns. As the international effort to find and rescue the girls gathered momentum, with military and intelligence resources from the US, UK, France, Israel and Canada pouring into Nigeria , and the #bringbackourgirls social media campaign exceeded 1m tweets, there was mounting criticism of President Jonathan Goodluck's slow response to the crisis. In Chibok on Friday, the home town of the missing girls, families said they had lost faith in the government to do everything possible to rescue their daughters, sisters and nieces. In Washington, a senior US official admonished Nigeria's failure to tackle the insurgency. Many relatives had gathered at the Chibok government girls secondary school, from which ...

HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED?

Genesis 32:24-32 I read recently about a man who had passed away and what they wanted the funeral parlor to do with the body. This man was a big Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and this is how the family wanted him remembered. So they told the funeral director that instead of placing his body in a coffin, they wanted the man placed on a recliner, with a television playing Pittsburgh Steelers highlights. Next to him there was to be a table with an open can of beer and a package of cigarettes. This is how his family remembered him, and this is how the family wanted the rest of his friends and loved ones to remember him. This was the lasting impression that was imprinted on the minds of people who knew him. The question I have for you today is a simple one: How do you want people to remember you? One day all of us are going to die, and how would you want people to remember you? Some of us might die soon, and some of us might not die for a while, and we have all heard that statement about lasti...
