Saraki calls for legislation to address marternal mortality on International day of the midwife


As the Inaugural Global Midwifery Conference in Nigeria rounds off in Abuja, in commemoration of the International Day of the Midwife, the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki through the Special Assistant on New Media to President of the Senate, Bamikole Omishore , has congratulated midwives across the nation for their contributions towards the healthcare of Nigerian women and newborns.
The Senate President, who is a medical doctor by profession, stated that over the years, midwives have helped to improve the maternal healthcare options available to Nigerian women.
Saraki further stated
“According to data available from UNICEF, the deaths of newborn babies in Nigeria represents a quarter of the total number of deaths of children under-five.”
In this regard, as the event hosted by the National Association of Nigerian Nurses hand Midwives (NANNM), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Wellbeing Foundation Africa rounds off, Saraki stated that the Senate and the 8th National Assembly would work out ways to partner with organisations that help to promote the life-saving work of midwives across the nation.
“As we mark International Day of the Midwife 2016,” Saraki said, “The 8th Assembly will partner with organisations and other stakeholders to provide legislation that will help to strengthen the efforts of midwives in Nigeria, to enable them provide better support for expecting mothers.”
According to UNICEF, a Nigerian woman’s chances of dying from pregnancy and childbirth is 1 in 13, and presently, only about 20 per cent of health facilities offer emergency obstetric care and only 35 per cent of deliveries are attended by skilled birth attendants.

Family Of Woman Killed By Nigerian Army Seeks Justice As Commanding Officer Offers N200,000 As Compensation

The family of a woman killed by a Nigerian military officer on Saturday in Warri, Delta State demanded that the perpetrators are brought to justice.

The son of the deceased, Shedrack Aktarobi, appealed to the State and federal governments to immediately intervene in the matter and ensure that the culprits are held accountable for their actions.
Alice Aktarobi, a level twelve judicial officer with Oleh High Court, was on her way to chair the wedding of her daughter, Joy Aktarobi, before being killed by a trigger-happy army officer on April 30, 2016.
The middle-aged woman was reported to have boarded a commercial tricycle to a relative’s home near the venue of the wedding in order to make it on time, as the State-wide compulsory monthly environmental sanitation was in progress. The wedding ceremony reportedly commenced very early in order to beat the sanitation exercise.

However, the soldiers were said to have flagged down the tricyclist at Jakpa Junction, claiming it was not yet 10 a.m., the official time for ending the environmental sanitation exercise across the State.
One of the soldiers aimed his gun at the tricycle, as the rider was apparently not going to stop, shooting dead the woman in the process.


It was gathered that the incident occurred at about 8.30 a.m., although the body of the deceased woman was taken to the Ekpan police station later before being taking to the morgue.
Mr. Aktarobi, who narrated the family’s ordeal to reporters in Warri immediately after a meeting with the leadership of the Nigerian Army 3 Battalion Effurun, confirmed that the soldier fired a bullet straight at his mother’s chest.
“We rushed to the scene immediately when we got the information. Everybody had fled. Even the team of soldiers that wreaked havoc had deserted the area. It was only my mother on the ground in a pool of blood. Later, one of the soldiers simply identified as E. K. Christian helped us and we took her to the Ekpan police station before the police deposited her body in the morgue.”
A human rights activist, Rockson Igelige, has lent his voice to the demand for the prosecution of the officer involved in the heinous act by the appropriate security agencies. Mr. Igelige warned that shielding the perpetrator from justice would encourage more killings, as their actions would go unpunished.
Meanwhile, the Commanding Officer of the 3 Battalion Effurun Division, Major Azanku, has offered N200,000 as compensation to the family to avoid legal battle. It was later gathered that the family turned down the offer.

Nigerian man stabs a fellow Nigerian to death in Ghana over toothbrush

A 26-year-old Nigerian has been arrested by police for allegedly stabbing his compatriot to death during a brawl over a used toothbrush at the Beach Drive Road at Nungua in Accra, Ghana.
The suspect identified as Marvelous Okere-Son, a trader living together in the same room with other occupants "engaged the deceased" Sunday Orga, 27 in an open fight over his stolen tooth brush on Saturday, April 30, 2016.
Speaking to Starr News , the Greater Accra Regional Police spokesperson Afia Tenge, said in the course of the confrontation Okere took a bottle, broke it and stabbed the left rib of the deceased.
Reports received indicated that the suspect and deceased were from Delta State, Nigeria and arrived in Ghana only two weeks and were squatting with five other Nigerians.
On that fateful day, the victim, Sunday Organ after realizing that his friend Marvelous had taken his tooth brush and had not returned it, he confronted him. This led to a fierce fight. They were separated and told to vacate the room.

The two continued the fight outside the compound. The deceased slapped the suspect. In anger Marvelous grabbed an empty wine bottle, broke it and used the sharp edge to stab Organ on the head and back. The victim fell down and lost consciousness.
"He bled profusely and when he was rushed to the LEKMA Hospital he passed on," Tenge stated. Upon interrogation, the suspect said he stabbed his colleague because he slapped him.
Okere was arrested by the police, charged for murder and is being processed for court. The remain of Orga has since been deposited at the Police Hospital morgue awaiting autopsy while investigation continues.

The Court Martial,which will be presided over by Air Vice Marshal (AVM) James Gbum, will begin the trial of a former Commander 68 Hospital. Yaba, Lagos, Major General Patrick Falola, and Chief of Army Transformation and Innovation Centre, Major General Ibrahim Sani.
Both two-star Generals have since been posted for jurisdiction at the Army Headquarters (AHQ) Garrison (Mogadishu Cantonment).

As President of Nigeria, he visited Drill Ranch in 2001, and made a follow up visit in 2011. President Obasanjo recognises the special care needs of chimpanzees and therefore decided to place 3 year old Patience with Pandrillus so she can grow up in the forest as part of the large chimpanzee group at Drill Ranch Afi Mountain. Thank you, Mr. President!
