  • Gowon: Officer, gentleman and …lover boy

    Gowon: Officer, gentleman and …lover boy

    It is the sort of public show of affection common among youngsters. At over 80, ex-Head of State Gen. Yakubu Gowon seems to be saying he is young at heart.

    At a service at the Cathedral Church of Christ, Marina, Lagos, to mark the 80th birthday of former Head of Interim National Government (ING) Chief Ernest Shonekan, Gen. Gowon and his wife Victoria, the former First Lady, who was admired for her beauty and poise in those days when “money was not our problem…”, showed that there is no age limit to exhibiting love for one’s partner.

    Gen. Gowon, the Civil War hero, showed his soft side as he helped madam to remove her necklace – it was not really clear whether it was a set of common beads or something of a luxury, such as diamonds that dangle on the necks of the rich – when she was to receive the Holy Communion. This provided the architect of “no victor, no vanquished” the opportunity to play the “lover boy”.

    Without minding the crowd of congregants around, Gen. Gowon dutifully helped madam to fix the necklace back after she had received the communion.

    But the “stubborn” necklace was difficult to fix. Seeing that Gen. Gowon’s face was beaded with perspiration, a woman offered to help, but the General won’t give in. The service was soon over and Gen. Gowon completed the task.

    He carried out the assignment with the clinical concentration of a surgeon at work.

    When it was all over, the General’s face showed his sense of accomplishment. Madam’s face was wreathed in smiles – to the admiration of the congregants who saw the fascinating scene.

    Good job, the women among them must have been saying.

    Valentine’s tragedy: Lover boy kills girlfriend for shunning outing

    A student of the University of Jos has been killed by a man described as her boyfriend for allegedly turning down his invitation for a date last Sunday- Valentine day.

    Miss Nanchin Zakariah of the  Psychology department of the university was allegedly strangled to death by Badung David Dele on Monday,the day after Valentine at her Angwa Rukuba apartment.

    A source close to them said they been in an intimate relationship for quite some time until a misunderstanding  set in shortly before the last Valentine day.

    Badung was said to have reached out  to Nanchin apparently to settle their differences and invited her out for Valentine.

    An unimpressed Nanchin reportedly smelled a cat and declined the invitation outright.

    She felt that there was no basis for any dating between them having parted for some time.

    The following morning,the suspect stormed Nanchin’s apartment  demanding an explanation why she failed to make the outing.

    He reportedly grabbed his victim by the neck and strangled her to death.

    After completing his evil act, the suspect left the apartment  and told a neighbour he met outside that he wanted to go and get some drug for his ‘ill’ friend.

    He gave his phone number to the  woman and asked her  to call him  in case of any emergency.

    The woman perceived danger immediately and  proceeded to Nanchin’s room only to find her lying down on her  bed unconsciously.

    “I called her name  but she did  not respond,” the woman called Mama Joy said.

    “I moved  closer and I discovered that she was  dead.

    “I ran out,  screaming  to alert the  people around. I was shocked that the boy managed to kill this girl without a gun .There was no blood on her body.”

    The Plateau State Police Command  confirmed the incident  and the arrest of the suspect.

    The Police Public Relations Officer DSP Abu Emmanuel said Badung was arrested on the same day  “ and after some interrogation, he confessed to have committed the crime.”

    The police,according to him, “are  making necessary arrangements to arraign him in court soon. The Police Commissioner is using this opportunity to caution ladies to be careful who they date.Some of these boys are criminals and you might ignorantly fall into their hands like this girl”

    The body  of the deceased has been transferred from Bingham University Teaching Hospital to the Jos University Teaching Hospital JUTH for autopsy.
