Mohammed Deeq (pictured above) has pleaded not guilty to stabbing his wife, Fatuma Ibrahim, in a Wajir court on Friday, January 8. He denied stabbing Fatuma Ibrahim and told the court he was trying to save his wife from attempting suicide. Prosecutor, Meroka Riech, requested more time to await the medical report. Resident Magistrate Bildad Rongocho ordered Deeq be remanded until January 13, when the case will be mentioned.

Deeq, who hails from Wajir East, appeared composed when brought to the courtroom which was packed with women and human right activists. He was accused of stabbing his wife on the cheek following a domestic squabble. Ibrahim, who was flown to Kenyatta National hospital on Thursday evening after the knife got lodged in her cheek, also suffered stab wounds to her thigh, abdomen and arms.

The doctors have already removed the knife after she was airlifting to Nairobi by Amref. The attack went viral on social media as Kenyans called for justice via hashtag #justiceforfatuma, and the maximum sentence for Deeq.

Seven corps members returning from the recent holidays were among the 16 passengers attacked by robbers at a spot on the Kaduna-Abuja highway on Sunday. The females among the corps members serving in Enugu and Ebonyi states were reportedly raped by the hoodlums who blocked the highway to stop vehicles.

A victim of the attack told the News Agency of Nigeria in Enugu on Friday that the 16-seater bus carrying them was attacked by the robbers who disguised as policemen. She said that the bus left Television Garage in Kaduna around 8:30pm and was attacked a few kilometres away from the garage.

The victim further said the robbers mounted a road block to give the impression that they were policemen on duty;

“As we approached the road block, the driver noticed that they were not policemen and tried to retreat but it was late. The robbers sensing what our driver wanted to do, left other cars and descended on us,” she said.

The victim said that the robbers forcefully raped all the female corps members in the bus and took all their belongings which included laptops, jewelries, handsets, foodstuffs and money.

The corps member appealed to the government to ensure adequate security on the highways.
