Christina Fokona, 19, overdosed on her mother's medication for high blood pressure. Her crime? Having sex with two boys. The act on the school grounds was captured on video, which went viral in 2010. She was 15 at the time. Christina's two sex partners, then aged 14 and 16, were initially charged with rape. Then she admitted that the sex was consensual. All three were charged with "consensual sexual penetration" under the 2007 Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, which made consensual sexual acts between children aged 12 and 15 a crime.

Daooh who wore a “jilbab” and a male hat known as a “Taqiyah” and black masculine shoes around, said she decided to disguise as a man so she could work and earn a decent living rather than beg on the streets.

So as to protect myself from men and the harshness of their looks and being targeted by them due to t...

The All Progressives Congress has said the President’s decision to summon INEC Chairman Attahiru Jega to a meeting that was not attended by other political parties in Abuja on Tuesday is part of ongoing moves to compromise the integrity of the electoral commission, which is expected to be fair and neutral. In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said it is wrong for the President, who himself is a candidate in the forthcoming elections, to be summoning the electoral umpire at will, especially when such meetings are populated by his appointees. ”Without the representatives of other political parties attending such meetings, irrespective of whether or not it is aimed at briefing security chiefs on the preparations for the polls, the ruling PDP and its presidential candidate are seeking to gain undue advantage over others ahead of the elections. ”It is like the referee in a football match me...
