A mother has been arrested for burning her daughter with an electric iron in Lagos, Nigeria.
Ayo Sheriff, 30, used an electric iron to burn Aishat Sheriff, 16, at their home over a minor misunderstanding.

According to the Lagos State Police Command, Aishat, a secondary school student and a part-time student auxillary nurse, was given 500 Naira by her boss to give 200 Naira to someone on her way home, use 50 Naira for her transport, and return the balance of 250 Naira the following day.
However, Aishat came to work the following day without the balance and when her boss asked her for the money, she claimed it was with her mother. The boss reportedly called Aishat's mother to ask about the money but Ayo Sheriff knew nothing about it.
When Aishat returned home from work, her mother plugged in an iron and burnt her arm and thighs "for being a disgrace to the family".

The incident was reported to the police by Chosen Child Orphanage Home in Ijora-Badia and Ayo Sheriff was arrested.
A statement released by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, stated that the Lagos state Commissioner of Police "was miffed at the sight of of the horrible wounds inflicted on a child by her mother. He therefore called on parents to correct their children in love.

"He said the rate at which cases of domestic violence is increasing is now a source of concern to the Command."

The executive director of projects at the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Cairo Ojougboh, says Nigeria will break if the commission releases the list of highly placed Nigerians who have benefitted from contracts awarded by the commission.   The NDDC has been in the spotlight after the National Assembly launched an investigation into allegations of financial recklessness in the commission.

When they were in jail, Cristian and Sebastian Sandulache made a series of cuts along their penises and inserted small metal balls into the incisions. The metal balls apparently makes sex more pleasurable to them, but more painful to the women with whom they practice it. A court has been told how Cristian and Sebastian Sandulache pimp women at a brothel in Oviedo in Spain, where they raked in up to £10,000 each night. Prosecutors described how the brothers chopped off one woman's arm with a samurai sword, while other women were forced to eat Euro notes if they failed to make enough money. The brothers from Vaslui in Romania are facing 600 years in prison for the horrific crimes they committed. They are accused of human trafficking, coercive prostitution, and money laundering at the cou...
