Akure—A Chief Magistrate in Ondo State, Olateju Odenusi-Fadeyi, has ordered the remand of a 15-year-old female student of Anglican Grammar School, Arigidi Akoko, for allegedly stabbing her colleague, Habib Salau, aged 17, to death.

The magistrate ordered her remanded at the Ondo State Juvenile Home, in Akure, pending advice from the office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions, DPP.

The magistrate, however, did not take her plea.

The prosecutor told the court, “The defendant accused the deceased of accosting her on the way home after a misunderstanding between them.

“It resulted in a fight and the defendant said someone gave her a knife and ordered her to stab the deceased on the neck.”

The offences, according to the prosecution, contravene Sections 124 and 319(1) of the Criminal Code Laws of Ondo State, 2006.

Ukraine asks one country to join war

 


Poland said that Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s request for Warsaw to intercept Russian missiles over Ukrainian airspace would amount to Poland’s direct involvement in the conflict.

 

Polish Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski commented on the Ukrainian leader’s recent statements during an interview on local station Radio ZET.

“Zelensky wants Poland to shoot missiles over Ukraine, which means he wants Poland to enter the war, which means he wants Poland to be at war with Russia. By these statements, Zelensky wants to drag Poland into the war with Russia,” the Polish politician said.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently criticized Poland for failing to fulfill its commitment to provide additional fighter jets, despite prior agreements between the two countries.

He explained that he had sought Poland’s help to prevent Russian missiles from destroying a gas storage facility in the city of Stryi, located in western Ukraine.

Krzysztof Gawkowski argued that the Ukrainian leader’s remarks were unbecoming of a politician who “owes a lot” to Poland.

“The equipment that was transferred, the citizens who were taken care of… Poland is a great friend of Ukraine, a transport hub. It seemed to me that in such situations, you say  ‘thank you.'”
