Nemesis has caught up with a Lagos based business woman who physically assaulted one of her employees by pouring hot water on her.

The 50 year old woman, Alhaja Rashidat Adeleke, wholesale dealer on noodles and other household consumables engaged the minor as her sales representatives in her store.

The suspect was alleged to have grudges against the victim, Akinola Bukola Oyindamola 14 year old girl, whom she suspected to have said something against her to her new Manager she employed recently but resigned within few days after he was employed.

Our correspondent learnt from a reliable source that there was a fight between two sales representatives aged 10 and 14 in their store which resulted in damaged bangles.

It was gathered that when they got home, the suspect enquired from the victim how come the bangles were damaged, the victim replied that she had no idea of what actually transpired between them.

The answer the suspect got from the victim did not go down well with her.

“So she dragged the victim into the kitchen, locked her up inside and asked another sales representatives if there was any hot water available but there was none.

It was learnt that immediately, the suspect boiled hot water, turned it on the head of the victim.

” Even when the victim tried to escape, she prevented her and boiled the second hot water and turn it all over the victim’s body until she collapsed.

“We also gathered that despite the second degree level of injuries the victim sustained, the suspect still took horsewhip and battered her.

Inferno Ravages Ibadan Spare Parts Market, Millions Lost in Property

A devastating fire broke out in the early hours of Saturday at the popular Araromi spare parts market, Agodi-Gate, in Ibadan, Oyo State, destroying property worth millions of naira.

The fire, which began around 2 a.m., continues to rage as firefighters struggle to contain the inferno. The General Manager of Oyo State Fire Services, Akinyemi Akinyinka, confirmed the seriousness of the situation and called for assistance from water tanker owners.

“We are battling with a serious inferno at Agodi-Gate. Help us to call water tanker owners to assist us. We are still here battling with the situation,” Akinyinka stated.

The cause of the fire is yet to be determined as investigations are ongoing.

This incident adds to a series of recent tragic fires in Ibadan. On Friday, a fire claimed the lives of a husband, his wife, and their grandson in the Ori-Eru, Idikan area of the city. The blaze, which occurred at 3:46 a.m., gutted a storey building.

Earlier in the week, another fire incident on Sunday morning destroyed three shops in the city, though the quick intervention of the state fire services prevented the flames from spreading to 13 neighboring shops.

Last Friday, a fire engulfed a Christ Apostolic Church parish in Lagelu Local Government Area during a vigil, trapping worshippers inside. The tragedy struck around 9:30 p.m. at Wisdom Estate, Road 1G, Olohunda Road, leaving the community in shock.

These repeated incidents have raised concerns about fire safety in Ibadan, prompting calls for enhanced preventive measures and quicker emergency responses. Investigations into the cause of the Araromi market fire are underway, while efforts to control the blaze continue.

Speaking at Kogi State Polytechnic Lokoja during his campaign tour on Friday, December 20, 2024, Festus urged the Federal Ministry of Education to channel a considerable portion of the allocation toward polytechnic education. He emphasized that polytechnics are the backbone of Nigeria’s technological development, highlighting their critical role in fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and skilled manpower needed for economic growth.

“Nigeria’s polytechnics have long been the cornerstone of the nation’s technological progress. A strong investment in technical and vocational education will drive sustainable development and innovation,” Festus stated.

The NAPS aspirant was warmly welcomed by the SUG President, Miss Oluwadamilola Enimokanyi, who acknowledged his advocacy and commitment to the advancement of polytechnic education in Nigeria.
