9 month old baby kidnapped by neighbour who was later arrested

2 minors,  Racheal John, and Joy Atunramu, have both been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly kidnapping their neighbour’s 9 month old baby over vengeance vowed by Rachel. The baby was said to have been taken from the mother’s shop at the Old Toll gate area of the town by Atunramu, allegedly acting on the instructions of John.

“Investigation revealed that the suspect had a conflict with the mother of the baby before the baby was stolen. “She wrote a letter with the promise  to deal with the mother of the baby.

The state police spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the police swung into action immediately after the mother of the baby rushed to the police station to report her missing infant.

Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said, John was apprehended and arrested with the baby at the Ogbere area of Ijebu.

He said,  “The mother did not know who actually stole the baby, but neighbours and some eyewitnesses, who saw the suspect with the baby alerted the mother and the police detectives before the arrest of the suspects.

“It was also gathered that the suspect (John) allegedly demanded the sum of N2m as ransom before she would release the baby.”

The suspects were arrested on Wednesday by detectives attached to the Ilese Police Division, Ijebu Ode.

Senate Presidency: We will not compromise merit - Tinubu

National Leader of APC, Bola Tinubu says the party will not compromise merit as it chooses the new Senate president for the incoming 8th National Assembly. According to Tinubu, the party has ruled out zoning of the seat because it could compromise the credibility and qualification of an individual. He said for anyone to aspire to be the Senate president, such a person must be competent and possess the character of a leader. He said this while speaking to newsmen in Abuja yesterday May 21st.

"Well, you have heard from the party; you have heard from leadership. My desire is not to rock the party. I am a disciplined party man and we will look at it critically. However, the nation is expecting us to take a decisive leadership decision. Merit would not be compromised. You have to be competent; you have to possess the character for the leadership. You have to be PAN Nigerian and be a very solid character to lead the National Assembly and that is what we are talking about,’’ he said.

Placed advert for a husband for her son by Indian mum

An Indian mother placed a newspaper advert for marriage for her son who is a gay activist which could be considered as noble, the problem with the advert is that gay marriage is illegal in India

India's Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that "carnal intercourse" interpreted as gay sex, is punishable with anything up to a life sentence.

The advert reads: "Seeking 25-40, well-placed, animal-loving, vegetarian, for my son (36, 5'11") who works with an NGO. Caste no bar." (Though IYER preferred).

Harish Iyer, the groom in question, is a prominent gay rights activist based in Mumbai. He was also the only Indian mentioned in Guardian's list of 100 most influential LGBT people in 2013.

"My mother is like any other mother," he says. "She wanted to find me a partner and help me settle down. It became news only because I was looking for a man instead of a woman."

While the Indian newspaper Mid-Day published the advert, 3 other leading national dailies refused to run it. According to Iyer, The Times of India and Daily News and Analysis rejected the advertisement because of "legal reasons."

Hindustan Times gave Iyer a message in writing, which read: "Dear Mr. Harish, Sorry to say but we can't carry this advertisement in HT Matrimonial Section." No further explanation was given.

However, Mid Day's executive editor Sachin Kalbag which posted the advert said his organization did not see the LGBT community as any different.

"A lot of credit goes to the advertising department because they treated this as any other ad." Kalbag said and he hopes other papers will follow suit.

It's being called India's first advertisement for a partner for a same-sex marriage.
