Unknown Heavily Armed Men Kidnap Two Pregnant Women In Kaduna

By Oluwa Extone
UNKNOWN but heavily armed men allegedly kid­napped three persons in­cluding two pregnant wom­en at Mararaba Jos in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State at about 2am last Monday, relatives of the abducted persons have al­leged.

Suarah Ibrahim and Hali­ma Ibrahim, elder sisters of one of the victims, Bilikisu Sani, 17, who spoke to newsmen yesterday in Ka­duna, said their visit to the secretariat became neces­sary after effortless search of their loved sister since the day of incident yielded no result.

The middle-aged wom­en, who looked physically troubled, said they had ex­tended the search to Nigeria Police Force headquarters, Directorate of State Servic­es (DSS) and 1 Divisional Army Headquarters all in Kaduna without any trace.

Halima Ibrahim said: “The men came to the area in different security agen­cies’ uniforms at about 2am and forced their way into the house. It was later we discovered that occupants of the house, including two pregnant women who were just in their nightdresses were whisked away. I am the elder sister of Bilikisu Sani who just got married.

“We have gone to 1 Divi­sion, but we were told they did not have anybody with such description in their custody. We also went to office of DSS as well as the police headquarters here in Kaduna where we heard the same story.

“We decided to come to NUJ because we do not know whereabouts of our people. We do not even know on what grounds the arrest was made. All we know is that the men were in security uniforms and the operation lasted for about five hours.”

Contacted, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Kaduna Police Command, DSP Zubairu Abubakar, said he was unaware of any joint operation on Monday, October 12, but promised to make contacts.

But about an hour later, he replied through a mobile message which simply read: “For any army operation, call their PRO pls. Thanks.”

Calling the Public Rela­tions Officer of 1 Divisional Army Headquarters, Ka­duna, Col. A. O. Abdul, he also said he was not aware of any operation involving the army on the said date. He promised to make con­tact and get back to this re­porter but he never did.

However, Public Rela­tions Officer of Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Kaduna State Command, ASCII, Orndiir Terzungwe, con­firmed that Army did called for reinforcement on that day, but could not ascertain whether it was for the case under review.

Maxton Hall Review: Is This German School Drama the New Gossip Girl (or Even Better)?

By Oluwa Extone
  It seems like everyone on Prime Video is talking about Maxton Hall - The World Between Us . This German series, based on Mona Kasten's Save Me book series, has rocketed up the charts, promising viewers a dose of forbidden love, class warfare, and high-stakes teen drama. ​But does this stylish boarding school saga truly live up to the hype, or is it just another pretty face in the crowded world of young adult romance? Here is my honest, spoiler-free review of Season 1. ​🎬 The Premise: When Two Worlds Collide ​ Maxton Hall centers on Ruby Bell , an intelligent, diligent scholarship student who meticulously plans every aspect of her life, aiming for Oxford. Her world collides disastrously with James Beaufort , an arrogant, obscenely wealthy heir who views the school (and everyone in it) as his personal playground. ​After Ruby stumbles upon a scandalous secret involving James's family, he tries to buy her silence. This initial antagonism quickly transforms into a classic ...

AT NIGHT

By Oluwa Extone
At Night "Mommy, come rub me." Henry has trouble winding down at bedtime. He wants me to come to him, to get in his bed with him, to rub his back. I oblige. I'm happy to; it's rare that he'll stay this still for me, to let me be this close to him. "Tell me the story about the two girls again." This is the story that my grandmother used to tell me, about the sisters, Lucy and Laney, and their dog Snoonie. And how they went to visit grandma in a snowstorm. And how they dug snow tunnels in the front yard until they were frozen. And how they all went inside and grandma warmed them by the fire, wrapped them in quilts, and made them hot chocolate. Years later, when my father died, I inherited his Bar Mitzvah photo album. My grandmother went through it with me, pointing out the relatives. There, seated at a round table, was Lucy. A young woman in 1956 with tanned arms, a floral dress. I hadn...
