Police operatives in Ogun State have arrested a woman simply identified as Aisha Tijani for allegedly setting her 10-year-old daughter ablaze.
Tijani, a single mother of five, was picked up by police officers on Sunday after a report was lodged at Mowe divisional headquarters by one Moroof Ayinde who stays in the same compound as the woman.
The spokesman for the state police command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the incident to journalists on Tuesday in Abeokuta, said Ayinde told the police that the suspect poured petrol on her daughter because the girl disobeyed her instructions.
Oyeyemi said: “The complainant claimed that the woman got annoyed because the victim took a phone she seized from one of her siblings and handed it over to the sibling.
After receiving the report, the DPO Mowe division, CSP Folashade Tanaruno, quickly moved to the scene with detectives and got the suspect arrested.
“The victim who was badly burnt was rushed to the nearest hospital from where she was referred to the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital for proper medical attention.
“On interrogation, the suspect, who claimed to have been separated from the father of the children, told the police that she didn’t know what came over her when she was carrying out the wicked act.
“The state’s Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) for further investigation.”
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.

She tells Sunday Scoop,
“In the space of some years, I lost four members of my family. It was in 2018 after the death of my younger sister, Ajuma, who was a football coach, that I discovered I was suffering from depression. I had not even healed totally, when my daughter passed away. My family members, friends and colleagues stood by me and supported me with prayers. Empress Njamah became like a small mother to me. We have known each other for over 22 years. It has just been by the grace and mercy of God.
“I miss my daughter so much and I still have a large picture of her in my living room. My daughter died as an adult and we practically grew up together. I had her at the age of 14. She was more of a friend to me, than a daughter. It is not something I can ever forget. Even if I give birth again tomorrow, I cannot replace her. She was irreplaceable. She made me a better person. The way I value and appreciate people was because of her. In many ways, she made me who I am today. If I did not have her, perhaps, I would not have been the person I am today. She gave my life a new meaning and she made my journey much easier (cries).”

Meet Amina, the young mom who looks super young that people hardly know the difference from she and her daughter in pictures. Her story is one that is interesting and will inspire one.
Amina is a young mother who lived most of her life in London, England and looking into her life, she was raised by a Nigerian mother. While telling her life story on her YouTube channel, Amina revealed how she got pregnant at the age of 17 , how people mocked her and later wish they never did because of how things later turned out in her life.
Telling her story, she revealed it all started when she was 16 years old and starting college, there was a specific group of bad influence people she hanged out with which includes her cousin. Against her mother’s rules, she continued going out and hanging out with them even after her mother warned her to stop.
Amina continued hanging out with them and one day at her cousin’s house, she saw a guy who later turned out to be her baby daddy. She was the first to notice him because he was handsome and she started asking her cousin who he was and later on they exchanged contact and that was how everything started.
They ended in having a relationship real quick and she was so much in love with him that she lost her virginity for him at him age of 16. They continued sleeping together and soon enough, he got her pregnant at the age of 17. According to her, when she broke the pregnancy news to him, he was happy and never wanted it to be terminated as he always wanted to be a very young father.
Amina revealed that she couldn’t tell her Nigerian mother she was pregnant but her baby daddy’s family was aware and one day, they all decided to drag her and let her mother know. When they broke the news to her mom, out of fear of what she might do, she packed out and started living with the family of her boyfriend but at the end when the pregnancy was due, her mother accepted the pregnancy and showed support for her till she gave birth to her baby girl, Natasha.
According to Amina, people who mocked her for getting pregnant wished they never did now as she’s and her daughter gets one of the big deals for commercials and beauty brand influencing. They have made a lot of money out of their story and daughter and mother combinations.

Hello everyone! Today I will tell you about a wonderful brave Romanian woman, Adriana Iliescu. She gave birth to a baby at 66 years old in 2005. She is officially registered as the oldest mother in the world in the Guinness Book of World Records (in the same year a Spanish woman gave birth to twins at 67, so Adriana didn’t hold the record for too long).
Adriana was married only once for four years. At 24, she divorced her husband and has been single for the past 50 years. She claimed that she had always wanted children but never had a partner to father for her child. Additionally, she had to study and work hard because no one supported her.
In 2000, Romanian clinics started offering IVF technology. Thanks to this amazing technology, Adriana got pregnant and gave birth to her first child, Elis
Local mass media claimed the baby was absolutely healthy. Newspapers were screaming about the old mother and so they made the story known all over the world.
Time passed and journalists stopped chasing Adriana around every corner, allowing her spend time with her daughter. The woman lived in a small flat in Bucharest, on a 250 EUR/month pension. She most likely also got some money from mass media as well, for her interviews and stories. That being said, raising her daughter as a single mother has been a challenge economically.
This picture was taken in 2008. Elisa is 3 years old here and she is accompanying her mother to the shop. Adriana is probably the most open old mother we know. Today, we know about 70 year old mothers, but their kids’ lives are kept very privat
Adriana confirms that she is often mistaken for a grandmother, but she doesn’t feel shy about the situation. She is happy and raises her child with love and care.
Time flies and Elisa grows up. Now she’s a teenager and she doesn’t differ from other kids her age. Elisa is a positive and sociable girl.
Now Adriana is 80 and Elisa is 14. We want to wish the old mother lots of health and many years to go. She needs it for raising her daughter!
