Female Pakistani teacher killed by colleague, students, for alleged blasphemy —Police

A female Pakistani teacher at an all-girls religious school in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of the country, has been killed by her female colleagues and students who stabbed her to death for alleged blasphemy, the police has confirmed on Wednesday.

The teacher, Safoora Bibi, was accused of blasphemy by a female colleague and two students, which is seen as a very serious offence and a hugely sensitive issue in the country which had led to many being lynched or sentenced to death.

The latest incident, according to the police, took place on Tuesday in Dera Ismail Khan in the country’s northwestern province which shares borders with Afghanistan.

Police said two students and a teacher ambushed Bibi at the main gate of the school and attacked her with a knife and stick.

“She died after her throat was slit,” police official Saghir Ahmed.

The main suspect is a colleague who planned the crime with two nieces studying at the Jamia Islamia Falahul Binaat school,” Ahmed said.

“The girls told the police that a relative had dreamed the dead woman had committed blasphemy against the Prophet Muhammad,” he said, adding they were also investigating if the main suspect, Umra Aman, had a personal grudge with the victim.

Another police officer, Azeem Khan, who also confirmed the incident, said the students were brainwashed by the main suspect.

US court convicts nurse for culpable homicide

A court in Tennessee, the United States, on Monday convicted a nurse, RaDonda Vaught, for culpable homicide after she intentionally injected an elderly patient with a drug which ultimately led to her death.

Vaught, a former Vanderbilt University Medical Center nurse, who was charged with the death of the patient, was convicted at the Justice A.A. Birch Building in Nashville, Tennessee.

At the hearing, prosecutors told the court that Vaught, in 2017, deliberately injected 75-year-old Charlene Murphey with Vecuronium injection instead of the recommended drug, Versed.

“The drug mix-up likely caused Murphey to stop breathing, and her eventual death,” prosecutors told the court.

Murphey, who was admitted into the Vanderbilt University Medical Center for a brain bleed, died after she was administered the injection.

“This wasn’t an accident or mistake as it’s been claimed. There were multiple chances for RaDonda Vaught to just pay attention,” Assistant District Attorney, Chad Jackson said during closing of arguments.

Vaught faces up to two years in prison when the sentencing comes up on May 13.

3.9m Ukrainian refugees have fled since Russian invasion —UN

A United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) report on Tuesday said nearly 3.9 million refugees have so far fled Ukraine since the invasion of the country by Russia on February 24.

As the invasion enters day 34, the UN Refugee Agency said the figures will continue to grow as Russia intensifies its attacks and the bombing of civilian enclaves.

“As at Monday, March 28, around 3,862,797 Ukrainians had fled the country, an increase of 41,748 from Sunday’s figures. Around 90 percent of them are women and children,” the report said.

It added that of the figure, 2.2 million fled into neighbouring Poland, while more than half a million have made it to Romania and nearly 300,000 have gone to Russia.

“In total, more than 10 million people which is over a quarter of the population in regions under government control before the February 24 invasion, are now thought to have fled their homes, including nearly 6.5 million who are internally displaced,” it said.

Also in a report by the UN Children’s agency, UNICEF, around 4.3 million children, more than half of Ukraine’s estimated 7.5 million child population, had been forced to leave their homes.

UNICEF said about 1.5 million the number of those children have become refugees, while another 2.5 million are displaced inside their war-ravaged country.

“The number leaving daily has fallen well below 100,000 per day, and even 50,000 in recent days, even as living conditions in Ukraine worsen.

US blacklists six Nigerians for supporting Boko Haram

The United States has blacklisted six Nigerians for supporting the Boko Haram sect.

The spokesman for the US Department of State, Ned Price, disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Washington.

The decision, according to the statement followed the prosecution and conviction of the individuals in the United Arab Emirates for supporting terrorism.

The statement read: “The United States is designating six individuals for their support of the terrorist group Boko Haram.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has added Nigerian nationals Abdurrahman Ado Musa, Salihu Yusuf Adamu, Bashir Ali Yusuf, Muhammed Ibrahim Isa, Ibrahim Ali Alhassan, and Surajo Abubakar Muhammad to the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, pursuant to Executive Order 13224, as amended, for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, Boko Haram.

“Today’s action follows the United Arab Emirates’ prosecutions, convictions, and designations of these individuals for supporting terrorism.

“The Department of State designated Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and Specially Designated Global Terrorist organization on November 14, 2013.

“The Nigeria-based group is responsible for numerous attacks in the Northern and North-East regions of the country as well as in the Lake Chad Basin in Cameroon, Chad, and Niger that have killed thousands of people since 2009.”

Tinubu charges politicians on nation-building

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Thursday charged politicians and leaders across the country to find solutions to the country’s current challenges.

Tinubu, who made the call at the 25th convocation lecture of Lagos State University, Ojo, stressed the importance of nation-building.

Represented at the forum by Lagos Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat, the APC chieftain also urged politicians to stop trading blames over the challenges.

He said: “Nigeria’s GDP per capita is ranked 17th in Africa and 131st in the world. According to the World Bank, we are the 7th most populous nation as of 2020. But our economic ranking was not commensurate with the population size. One does not have to be a genius in mathematics to know the difference between 7 and 131.

“Our lack of sustained dynamic economic growth does not lend itself to social stability. Economic slowness and destitution place great pressure on people to migrate in search of opportunities. But too much migration too fast and too unimagined results in people competing and contending against one another on dwindling arable land, which undermines social harmony.

We need a new, more convivial way. A way that will give us the right start at a fair chance for durable prosperity. A large urban population needs a strong manufacturing and industrial base. If not, we invite unemployment, crime, hunger, and poverty to become chronic and severe.

“We must better link formal education with the skills and expertise our business community seeks in modern times.”

North Korea fires first Intercontinental Ballistic Missile since 2017

North Korea, Thursday, fired its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) since 2017, more than four years after its last release, as world leaders gather in Brussels, Belgium, for a security summit.

The suspected ICBM which flew to an altitude of 6,000 kilometers (3,728 miles) and to a distance of 1,080 kilometers (671 miles) with a flight time of 71 minutes before splashing down in waters off Japan’s western coast, was personally supervised by the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, according to Japan’s Defense Ministry.

Thursday’s launch of the ICBM is North Korea’s 11th of the year, including one it fired on March 16, which was not a complete success.

However, analysts said the recent test could be the longest-range missile yet fired by North Korea, exceeding its last ICBM launch in November 2017.

Japan’s Vice Defense Minister Makoto Oniki told reporters shortly after that the missile’s altitude would suggest it is a “new type of ICBM,” a potential sign North Korea is closer to “developing weapons capable of targeting the United States.”

A statement by North Korean state media confirmed Oniki’s assessment, announcing the launch of a Hwasong-17 missile, the country’s newest known ICBM variant.

Meanwhile, the United States has joined its Asian allies, South Korea and Japan in strongly condemning the launch and called on North Korea to refrain from further destabilizing acts.

According to security analysts, the recent spate of North Korean missile tests would suggest Kim Jong Un is “attempting to show an increasingly turbulent world that Pyongyang remains a player in the struggle for power and influence.”

North Korea refuses to be ignored and may be trying to take advantage of global preoccupation with the war in Ukraine to force a fait accompli on its status as a nuclear weapons state,” Leif-Eric Easley, associate professor of international studies at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, told CNN.

In response to the ICBM test, South Korea’s military also launched several warning missiles for the first time since 2017, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a text sent to reporters.

“Our military is monitoring North Korean military’s movements and have confirmed that we have the capability and posture to accurately strike the origin location of the missile launch and command and support facilities any time North Korea launches a missile,” the JCS said.

US first female Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, dies at 84

The first female United States Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, has died at the age of 84.

Albright, who helped steer Western foreign policy in the aftermath of the Cold War, died on Wednesday after years of battling cancer, her family said in a statement.

She was a central figure in President Bill Clinton’s administration, first serving as US Ambassador to the United Nations before becoming the nation’s top diplomat in Clinton’s second term.

In a statement on Wednesday, President Joe Biden described the former secretary of state a “force” and said working with her during the 1990s was among the highlights of his career as a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

He said: “When I think of Madeleine, I will always remember her fervent faith that America is the indispensable nation.”

In his tribute, Clinton said: “Few leaders have been so perfectly suited for the times in which they served. As a child in war-torn Europe, Madeleine and her family were twice forced to flee their home.

“When the end of the Cold War ushered in a new era of global interdependence, she became America’s voice at the UN, then took the helm at the State Department, where she was a passionate force for freedom, democracy, and human rights.”

Taliban backtracks, closes Afghan girls’ schools hours after reopening

The Taliban regime in Afghanistan has backtracked on its earlier promise of allowing girls return to schools, after it announced that all girls’ high schools in the country will be closed, hours after they reopened for the first time in nearly seven months.

The backtracking by the Taliban administration means that female students above the sixth grade will not be able to attend school.

A notice by the Ministry of Education on Wednesday stated that schools for girls would remain closed until a plan was drawn up in accordance with Islamic law and Afghan culture, according to a government news outlet, the Bakhtar News Agency

“We inform all girls high schools and those schools that are having female students above class six that they are off until the next order,” the notice said.

Taliban spokesman, Inamullah Samangani, who confirmed the closure of the schools to journalists, said the girls had been ordered to remain at home for the time being.

“Yes, it’s true. The girls have been ordered to remain at home till a plan is drawn up according to Islamic law,” he said.

Before the sudden closure, the Ministry of Education had announced last week that schools for all students, including girls, would open around the country on Wednesday – the first day of Afghanistan’s new school year – after months of restrictions on education for high school-aged girls.

On Tuesday evening, a ministry spokesman released a video congratulating all students on their return to class, but their enthusiasm was dampened a few hours later with the administration’s announcement of the closure.

The last time the Taliban ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, the regime had banned female education and most female employment. But after returning to power in August last year, they had promised a reform and opportunities for girls’ education and employment.

But so far, the Taliban have imposed a slew of restrictions on women, effectively banning them from many government jobs, policing what they wear and preventing them from travelling outside of their cities alone.

Confusion as authorities locate one Black Box of crashed Chinese plane

One of the two Black Boxes of the Chinese Eastern aircraft which crashed on Monday with 132 people on board, has been recovered, according to Chinese aviation officials.

The Black Box was found on Wednesday with its casing severely damaged, two days after the flight crashed in the country’s south coast, with no survivor, the officials added.

There was however confusion over which of the two boxes had been located.
“The exterior is so damaged that investigators were not able to tell whether it was the flight data recorder or the cockpit voice recorder,” said Mao Yanfeng, the director of the accident investigation division of the Civil Aviation Authority of China.

Mao also gave no information about the condition of the recording device inside the Black Box, but said an all-out effort is being made to find the other box.

“Recovering the black boxes will be the key to determining and key to figuring out what caused the crash.” Mao said.

The search for clues into why the jetliner dove suddenly and crashed into a mountain in southern China was temporarily suspended earlier Wednesday as rain slickened the debris field and filled the red-dirt gash formed by the plane’s fiery impact.

However, searchers had been using hand tools, drones and sniffer dogs under rainy conditions to comb the heavily forested slopes for the recorders as well as human remains while crews also worked to pump water from the pit created when the plane hit the ground, but their efforts were suspended around midmorning because small landslides were possible on the steep, slick slopes.

Mao and other officials at a news conference said members of the air crew were healthy, the aircraft had a clean maintenance record, the weather had been good during the flight and the crew had been in regular communication with air traffic controllers prior to going into a dive.

Relatives of passengers began arriving Wednesday at the gate to Lu village just outside the crash zone, where they, along with reporters on the scene, were stopped by police and officials who used opened umbrellas to block the view beyond.

The Boeing 737-800 has been flying since 1998 and had a well-established safety record. It is an earlier model than the 737 Max, which was grounded worldwide for nearly two years after deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019.

Monday’s crash was China’s worst in more than a decade. In August 2010, an Embraer ERJ 190-100 operated by Henan Airlines hit the ground short of the runway in the northeastern city of Yichun and caught fire with 96 people on board, killing 44 of them.

Court orders adult film actress, Stormy Daniels, to pay ex-US president Trump $300,000 in legal fees

American adult film actress Stormy Daniels has been ordered by a federal court to pay US former president, Donald Trump the sum of $300,000 in attorney fees after it rejected her appeal to another court ruling in her defamation case against Trump.

The ruling by the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit followed an earlier ruling by a lower court that rejected Daniels’ defamation suit against Trump after he refuted her claims that they had s3x in 2006.

Daniels had claimed Trump cheated on his wife, Melania with her in 2006 and then paid her off to try and secure his 2016 election victory.

Cohen, Trump’s personal lawyer for ten years, was sentenced to three years in prison in 2018 for, among other offenses, paying Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about her alleged affair with Trump.

The payment to keep Daniels quiet was made shortly before the 2016 president election, and it violated campaign finance laws.

In a statement issued on Monday night, March 21, Trump said that “all I have to do is wait for all of the money she owes me.

“The lawsuit was a purely political stunt that never should have started, or allowed to happen, and I am pleased that my lawyers were able to bring it to a successful conclusion after the court fully rejected her appeal”, Trump said, according to CNBC.

The Ninth Circuit US court of appeals ruled on Monday that it had no jurisdiction over Daniel’s appeal as she missed a 30-day deadline to appeal after a lower court first ordered her to pay the attorney fees to Trump.

Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, has since written a book about Trump and embarked on nationwide stripping tours.

After initial tough stance, Ukraine President appeals to Russia to end war

After an initial tough and uncompromising stance following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia,

President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has made a passionate appeal to Russians and the Kremlin to consider humanity and a sense of justice, and call off the invasion of his country which has led to several deaths on both sides, and cities destroyed.

This appeal is coming after Zelenskyy had earlier refused appeals to seek the path of peace with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but following a sustained Russian bombardment of Ukrainian towns and key facilities, leading to the death of hundreds of innocent people on both sides, the Ukrainian strongman has been forced to appeal to the invading armies and its people to consider the people.

In an address early on Sunday morning, Zelenskyy, speaking in Russian, his first language, claimed 14,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in the invasion, which began February 24, and has now entered its 25th day.

This is 14,000 mothers,” Zelenskyy said. “This is 14,000 fathers. These are wives, these are children, relatives and friends. And you don’t notice it? But there will only be more victims. As long as this war continues. Your war is against us, Russia against Ukraine. On our land.”

Zelenskyy added that the Ukrainian nation doesn’t want to kill the Russians despite the killings of its people including children and women.

“Ukraine has always sought a peaceful solution. Even more, we are interested in peace now. Because we count everyone who is killed. Because it means something to us, every ruined family, every ruined house. Because we are Ukrainians, and for us a person is priceless.”

Iraqi man kills 15-yr-old daughter in ‘Honour Killing’

An Iraqi-Kurdish man has been arrested for killing his 15-year-old daughter in an ‘Honour Killing’ on Friday in Soran district in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, police officials said.

The man “used a Kalashnikov rifle to shoot six bullets into his 15-year-old daughter’s body in Soran,” according to the spokesperson of the district’s directorate of combating violence against women.

“The reason for killing his daughter was that she went out with two people he did not approve of,” the spokesperson said, adding that the police have launched an investigation into the murder.

“The father has been arrested and two other suspects turned themselves in to police in connection with the killing,” the police said.

In Iraqi Kurdistan, gender-based violence, including sexual violence, domestic violence, honor killings, child marriages, and female genital mutilation (FGM) is common and endemic, despite the Kurdish administration, which called itself a Kurdistan Regional Government KRG, promises over the past decades to address the issue. Kurdish women often commit suicide to escape domestic violence or forced marriages, a gender based group in the country wrote on its website.

“Many other Kurdish women face forced and underage marriage, domestic violence or polygamy issues.

“On March 7, a young Kurdish woman activist Mari was murdered in Iraqi Kurdistan capital Erbil.

“On February 20, a man set fire to his 21-year-old wife in Sulaimani city after betting her and pouring kerosene oil on her due to a domestic dispute.

On February 17, Maryam Yacoob, 40, was shot dead by her husband in Sulaimani, apparently after she asked for a divorce and on February 9, a 26-year-old Kurdish woman was shot dead by 10 bullets in the town of Koya in Erbil governorate by an unknown assailant.

“And on January 31, a young Kurdish transgender woman, Doski Azad, was killed by her brother in Duhok governorate,” the group recalled.

Police have denied shooting at corps member in Ibadan, saying officer was knocked down and stabbed.

The Oyo State Police Command has debunked the claim that a policeman shot at the car driven by a member of the National Youth Service Corps in Ibadan.

The Police Public Relations Officer for Oyo State Police Command, Adewale Osifeso, said in a statement on Friday that no single bullet was fired by the police at the scene of the alleged shooting.

He said rather, a corps member who drove a Toyota Camry recklessly knocked down one policeman, Bright Agbadahun, while he was stopped by a team of policemen on stop and search duty. He said the corps member refused to stop and in his bid to escape, he veered to his lane to face oncoming vehicles where he ran into a tricycle before the police caught up with him.He described the alleged shooting of the corps members as mischievous but added that investigations were still ongoing and updates would be provided in due course.

The police statement read, “The Oyo State Police Command wishes to dispel rumors making the rounds about a shooting incident involving a police officer and a National Youth Service Corps member as mischievous and a fictitious imagination of mischief agents.

“Preliminary investigations/independent witness accounts revealed that a reckless driving corps member in the company of his colleagues while returning from their Community Development Service (CDS) in a white tinted Toyota Camry with Reg No ABY 237 JR was flagged down by operatives on legitimate stop and search duties along with Black Horse Area, New Garage, Off Ibadan-Ijebu-Ode Road.

“However, he drove directly towards the direction of the officers, thereby knocking down, one Sgt Agbadahun Bright.

Moment Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe finally reunited with her family in UK after spending 6 years in Iranian jail.


Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has finally been reunited with her family after six years in jail in Iran.



The British-Iranian mother met her husband Richard Ratcliffe and her seven-year-old daughter Gabriella in the UK early this morning, March 17.



Video footage shows the aid worker breaking down in tears as she embraces her family, just moments after touching down at RAF Brize Norton just after 1am.








Gabby shouted “Mummy” before running towards her as she entered the building before her husband joined her for their reunion.



Gabby was just 1-year-old when her mother was arrested and jailed in Iran after she was accused of plotting to overthrow the Iranian government, which she denied.



In a message posted online, the Ratcliffe family said: “No place like home. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, to all of the care and campaigning, and diplomatic efforts. You have made us whole.”



Mr Richard Ratcliffe has been a prominent campaigner in the battle to secure his wife’s release and went on hunger strike in late last year for 21 days.



He said earlier that he was deeply grateful for her release and that he and Gabriella were “looking forward to a new life”.






Manchester United’s trophy wait has gone on too long, says David de Gea

David de Gea says there have been “too many years without trophies” after Manchester United’s Champions League defeat by Atletico Madrid extended their silverware drought to five years.

David de Gea played for Atletico Madrid for two seasons before joining Manchester United

Renan Lodi scored the only goal for Diego Simeone’s side at Old Trafford to hand Atletico a 2-1 aggregate victory.

United have not won a trophy since Jose Mourinho guided them to the Europa League in 2016-17.

“Of course it’s not good enough,” said United keeper De Gea.

“There are too many years without any trophies, even without fighting for trophies.

“We need to be clear we want to achieve good things and fight for trophies. We don’t just want to play for the top four and get out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals.

“So we need much more from everyone because this club is too big for where we are now. We are far from the fighting places for the Premier League, for the Champions League, so we need much more from everyone.”

United have now been knocked out in six of their past eight Champions League knockout-stage ties.

They face a significant contest to qualify for next season’s competition – as they are fifth in the Premier League, one point below Arsenal, who have three games in hand.

De Gea added that there was frustration with United’s overall performance.

He said: “This is where we are at the moment. It’s a difficult situation. We have to keep fighting. I feel very sad. But we were not good enough.

“We are really disappointed with the result. It’s difficult to put into words how we feel now at the moment. We did not enough in both games to win it. It’s a very disappointing day for us.”

Defeat raised the question of whether Tuesday’s match will prove to be Cristiano Ronaldo’s last appearance in the Champions League.

Ronaldo, 37, is the tournament’s all-time top scorer and has lifted the trophy five times, first doing so with United in 2007-08 before winning it four times with Real Madrid.

He failed to have a shot during Tuesday’s defeat.

Former England winger Chris Waddle, a BBC Radio 5 Live pundit at Old Trafford, said: “I did not get Cristiano Ronaldo’s role tonight, coming into midfield. I didn’t get that. There was nothing in the box so if you do cross it, there is nobody there.”

Harry Maguire

United’s interim boss Ralf Rangnick bemoaned Atletico’s tactics in the second half and also questioned the officials, feeling there was a foul on Anthony Elanga in the build-up to the game’s only goal.

“Against a team like Atletico, it is highly important you score the first goal yourself,” said Rangnick. “If you don’t do that, it is even more important not to concede a goal.

“One minute before half-time, we conceded that goal in a transitional moment.

“I believe there was a foul on Anthony Elanga before that but the linesman and referee did not see it that way – I think we shouldn’t have been 1-0 down at half time, I think we were the better team in the first half.”

Rangnick added: “In the second half, I don’t know if the game was played for more than two minutes without somebody lying on the floor.

“I think there were some curious refereeing decisions. I wouldn’t necessarily say they were decisive, maybe the one before they scored, but I think the referee made it pretty easy for Atletico to do their time-wasting antics and that didn’t make it any easier for us.

“It was frustrating and difficult for us in the second half. From normal play, we didn’t produce that many chances.”

Atletico coach Simeone was, however, full of praise for his team’s commitment.

“This team will dive into a swimming pool whether there is water in it or not,” he said. “When the team works as a team like this, it excites me. We were competitive.

“The goal gave us the advantage and in the second half there was brilliant collective work, one of the best this season, which leaves me happy.”

‘Man Utd need cleaning out’

Waddle says the club needs “cleaning out” and have a lot of rebuilding to do.

“Thomas Tuchel has been mentioned as the potential next manager of Manchester United, because of the state Chelsea are in, but will he look at it and think ‘wow, this is a massive job, where do we start?’,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“It needs cleaning out. They need a scouting system, they need a youth system again. It is basically starting from scratch. They have let themselves run and thought money would bail them out, and it hasn’t.

“They need to start from the beginning, get the right personnel in and you are talking years before they will be able to compete with Manchester City.

“Manchester United have got a lot of rebuilding to do. They have got to put their focus on getting into the top four and make sure of Champions League football next season.”

Malaysia landslide kills four, scores missing

Four people have been killed while an unspecified number have been declared missing after a “massive” landslide triggered by “unusual” heavy rains buried their homes in a township outside the Malaysian capital, a senior rescue official said Friday.

Malaysia has been experiencing heavy rains over the past few weeks, which officials and environmentalists say is unusual at this time of year and could be the result of climate change.

Norazam Khamis, the emergency services chief of Selangor state, said the landslide happened in the suburb of Ampang on Thursday night.

Khamis said torrential rains lasting 30 minutes caused a nearby hill to erode, sending tonnes of soil mixed with water crashing down on a row of houses below.

It happened so fast. The victims were found buried under about two metres of mud and they could not escape in time,” Khamis said”

“The mudflow completely destroyed two houses and damaged almost a dozen other homes. Ten vehicles were also damaged,” he added.

Khamis described the rains in Selangor, located outside the capital Kuala Lumpur, as “unusual” during what should be the dry season.

“Two to three years ago, it is usually hot during this period. The climate change could be a contributing factor,” he said.

“With the intensity and frequency of rainfalls we are seeing, we cannot rule out the role climate change is playing,” Meenakshi Raman, president of environmental group Friends of the Earth, said.

She’s cheating on me – Korra Obidi’s husband gives reasons they’re getting divorced

Dr Justin Dean has revealed why he and his wife, Korra Obidi are having marital crisis that has forced him to seek a divorce.

In a recent Instagram post, Dean claimed that the mother of his children is unfaithful amongst other issues.

He added that Korra is allegedly narcissistic and she uses his family against him, whenever things do not go her way.

Dean said; “I’m tired of the narcissism, cheating and lack of accountability. I’ve been trying since 2018 to save our marriage and if I don’t do exactly what she says, she divorces me.

I’ve been a prisoner that has his family used against him if she doesn’t get exactly what she wants”.
