A-drowning boy

Kano State Fire Service confirmed on Monday that a 17-year-old boy drowned at Titin Jajira in Tofa Local Government Area of the state on Sunday.

Its spokesman, Alhaji Saminu Abdullahi, stated that the service’s rescue team brought the boy out of a pond, but was later confirmed dead by a doctor.

“The corpse was handed over to the police at Bachirawa Police Divisional headquarter,’’ he stated.

The fire service would continue to investigate the incident, Abdullahi added. 

In a related development, a businessman, Mr Justine Onu on Monday, urged a Customary Court in Jikwoyi, Abuja, to dissolve his marriage to his wife, Joyce, alleging that he caught her having sexual intercourse with his cousin.

The petitioner told the court that his wife was very promiscuous and he was tired of the marriage.

Onu informed the court that he had developed high blood pressure because of his wife’s alleged promiscuous character.

He further alleged that his wife was irresponsible and does not take care of the children or cook for the family.

The respondent, Joyce, however, denied all allegations

The presiding judge Labaran Gusau, adjourned the matter until Nov. 8, for further hearing.
