NSCDC rescues 25-year-old woman allegedly locked for years in Jigawa

 The Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) has rescued a 25-year-old woman allegedly locked in a room for years by her father in Jigawa State.



Spokesman of the Jigawa State NSCDC Command, CSC Adamu Shehu, confirmed this to DAILY POST on Wednesday.

He said this followed a complaint lodged at the NSCDC State Command Headquarters by one human rights activist that a girl of about 25 years named Ummi was locked up in a room within the house for several years without being allowed to come out by her father.

CSC Shehu said the NSCDC operatives rushed to the house and rescued the girl, who was looking emaciated, unkempt, and depressed.

He explained that the room in which she was living served as her toilet, where she urinates, and her food was served on a bare floor.

 THE PLACE OF A MOTHER By: Olufadi Balarabe Ayuba. Let her know the day she was born nakedly beautiful with tears of joy rolling down her stunningly soft cheeks.  Let her know the day she had enough words to say but could only speak through the inexhaustible care of her beloved mother.  Let her know those days she could not by herself take some walks down the road, but could comfortably tour the entire city tied on her mother's back. Let her know those days when she had to cry all night before she could answer nature's call, except lullabies were sung to ease her trips.  Let her know the days she couldn't bathe herself, compelling her mother to wake up early, warm the water, and ignore her refusal to take a bath every morning!  Let her know the day she couldn't do makeovers to beautify herself, as her mother took center stage to apply "Dusting Powder" to introduce the beauty of her Darling Princess to the world.  Let her know the days when all others had forsa

  The attention of the Kwara State Polytechnic authority has been drawn to a malicious story tagged *"Kwarapoly: Mass Communication Students in Dismay over Non-Accreditation, exempted from NYSC mobilisation"* in which one writer (Comrade Yūusuf Baraje) alleged non- accreditation of HND Mass Communication programme by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE). The Polytechnic authority is hereby calling on members of the public to disregard the misleading story aimed at dragging the  good name of the 50 year old institution to the mud.
