                Two policemen killed and several others injured in a bloody?armed robbery attack in Ekiti State
The Ekiti State police command on Monday confirmed that at least four persons were killed during a violent robbery attack on a bank in Ijero-Ekiti in Ijero Local Government Area.

The robbers reportedly invaded the town at about 6 p.m. after workers had closed. They were said to have first driven to the police station in the town where they wrecked havoc before heading straight to the first generation bank in an ambulance containing a casket loaded with guns.

At the police station, the gunmen were said to have killed two policemen on duty. Others killed, according to witnesses include a security guard at the bank, shot around the Automated Teller Machine (ATM) stand and an aged man who was passing by at the time of the attack.

They were said to have announced their arrival with gun shots which sent residents scampering for safety. They blew the bank’s security door with dynamite to gain access into the banking hall and made away with unspecified amount of  money in the raid which lasted for about an hour.

Confirming the incident, Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Caleb Ikechuckwu, said, “there was indeed casualty; the robbers arrived the town few minutes after 5.30 p.m. They succeeded by using dynamite to gain access into the banking hall. There was, however, no casualty on the side of the bank but there was one or two on the side of police”.

Woman cuts off her husband's penis because she suspect him of cheating

A wife chopped off her husband's penis with a pair of scissors while he was brushing his teeth because she suspected he was cheating after starting a new job. The man, named only as Li, from the Jiangxi Province city of Fengcheng, told shocked medics that his wife maimed his genitals in a desperate attempt for him not to stray. He said his possessive wife attacked him while he was naked in the bathroom at about 7.30 in the morning. After she inflicted the injury on him, he managed to cover his blood-drenched groin to stop the bleeding before taking himself to a hospital. Doctors said they had successfully reattached Li’s penis but warned him to be extra careful while recovering. But reports from Knews and Sohu claim that even if he heals properly, he might never be able to have sex properly again as a sudden erection could damage new blood vessels. Police are said to be investigating the case.

Others acquitted alongside Bafarawa are Beedash Nigeria Limited, Nasdabap Nigeria Limited, Alhaji Nasiru Dalhatu Bafarawa and Alhaji Salihu Maibuhu Gummi.

Surprisingly, Justice Abbas discharged and acquitted the accused persons of all counts on the premise that the evidence presented by the prosecution were “mere hearsay”, that there were “no documentary evidence” to back up the claim of witnesses...
