Not many of you will know her but she was
quite popular many years ago. Her death is
shocking to me personally because we used to
be friends when we were both students in
UNILAG, though I hadn't seen or spoken to her
in a while. Kessiana Salubi was a model, Miss
UNILAG 2001, first runner up Miss Nigeria
2002, an Architect and an Interior Designer.
She died on Friday November 7th in her sleep.
According to a family source, she came back
from an outing, had dinner, had a bath and
went to bed in her Lekki home. She didn't
wake up the next morning. She was just 34
years old. She's survived by her parents and
siblings. May her beautiful soul rest in peace.
Amen.
Yep, this is a real case in a Nigerian
court...hehe! According to a report by NAN, a
38year old lawyer, Hajiya Hamamatu Manu,
was today Friday November 7th charged in a
Gudu Upper Area Court in the FCT, Abuja, for
allegedly killing a man’s fowl and breaking 19
of its eggs.
Manu, who resides at Apo resettlement, Abuja,
is charged for mischief. The prosecutor, Insp
Emmanuel Edet, told the court that Terhemen
Kolum of Zone B, Apo resettlement, Abuja,
reported the matter at the Apo Police Station
on Nov. 4.
Edet said that the accused killed the
complainant’s fowl, destroyed 19 eggs and
destroyed all the bricks that the complainant
used in building his fowl’s house sometime in
September.
According to him, the damage caused
amounted to the sum of N25, 000.
He further said that when the complainant
challenged the accused, she told him that she
acted based on the instructions of the owner
of the house.
The prosecutor said the offence contravened
Section 329 of the Penal Code. The accused,
however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Counsel, Mr Sanni Dawaki, made a bail
application in favour of his client,and for bail
to be granted based on self-recognition as the
accused was also a lawyer.
Dawaki assured the court that the accused
would not jump bail. The Judge, Umar
Kagarko, admitted the accused to bail based
in self-recognition and adjourned the case to
Dec. 17 for hearing.
