A businesswoman, Woye Ella, on Tuesday prayed an FCT Customary Court in Garki, Abuja, to dissolve her marriage over her husbands alleged attempt to set her on fire.   Ellas prayer is contained in a divorce petition she filed against her husband in the court.   According to the petitioner, her husband usually overreacts over little provocation.  She submitted that sometimes her husband would become very hostile and chase her with a dangerous object like a screwdriver and knife. It got to a point that he poured petrol on me to set me on fire, it was my neighbours who saved my life that day, she said. He was overwhelmed by our neighbours and was taken to a nearby police station where he was detained for four days, till his father came from the village to intervene.  When he was asked the reason for his actions, he couldnt mention anything tangible.” Ella also told the court that she eventually moved out of the house for fear of being killed by her estranged spouse.  She prayed the court to order her husband to vacate the apartment in which they were living, prior to her exit.  The petitioner also claimed that she is the owner of the property.  I bought the land and built the house myself, she said.   The respondent, who is a tiler, and simply identified by his first name, Joseph, however denied all his wifes allegations.   The presiding judge, Festus Enomhonse, adjourned the matter until February 24, for hearing.   The post He poured petrol on me but neighbours saved my life – Divorce-seeking woman tells FCT court how husband attempted to set her ablaze appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Tension in Abia as monarch raises alarm over land acquisitions by suspected herdsmen

The traditional ruler of Okahia Autonomous Community in Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State, Eze Okey Ananaba, has raised serious concerns over what he described as a looming security threat caused by massive land acquisitions by suspected herdsmen in the region.

Speaking during a sensitization visit and town hall meeting with officials of the Greater Aba Development Authority (GADA), Eze Ananaba alleged that herders had acquired over 5,000 plots of land in strategic border communities such as Mgboko Umuanunu—near the boundary with Akwa Ibom State—and Akpaa Mbato, which lies behind the National Institute for Nigerian Languages (NINLAN) in Ovom, Aba.

The monarch warned that these land grabs could serve as operational bases for attacks, pointing to the destruction of farmlands and the presence of illegal firearms, including AK-47 rifles, in the hands of some herders. He said local vigilantes and farmers have received death threats from the herders when they tried to resist the encroachment.

Eze Ananaba lamented that traditional rulers in Obingwa had submitted several petitions to the Abia State Government urging intervention, but their concerns have been largely ignored. “We are the eyes of the government in our communities,” he said. “If the government continues to ignore our reports, the people will suffer.”

Some residents also accused unnamed traditional rulers of facilitating these land deals and called on Governor Alex Otti to launch a thorough investigation into the trend. They urged the Ministry of Lands to stop approving large land acquisitions without proper scrutiny.

The monarch’s warning echoes growing fears that the situation could escalate into violence similar to the deadly herders attacks witnessed in Benue and Plateau states.
