A Nigerian mother of four, Latifat Shamseddin Giwa, has reacted after a lady accused her of going diabolical in order to stop her husband from taking a second wife simply because she is married to a man who loves her immensely and appreciates all her sacrifices.

In the screenshot she shared on Facebook, the lady, Ruqoyah Oladimeji, wrote: “And is it a crime for your husband to marry another wife? What makes you think your jazz will keep working forever? Unless your husband is not a full man, wait till your own time comes. Time and seasons happen to us all.”

Latifat, who married her husband when they were still struggling, said most of the women constantly attacking her wouldn’t have taken a second look at him then.

“So this woman actually had the audacity to say I went ‘diabolical’ to stop my husband from marrying another wife. Let me set the record straight: I patiently married the love of my life, a man so intentional, so loyal, he sees all my sacrifices, my effort, my love and loves me even more for it,” she wrote in the Facebook post on Tuesday, December 23.

“And to those women coming out to spew rubbish because you see someone being loved right… may be it stings because you wish I were going through the hell you’re passing through, or maybe you’re secretly hoping he’d choose one of you as a second wife. Some of you wouldn’t even look at him twice when we were struggling!

“I relied on Allah in every step of my life, and He blessed me with a husband worth every bit of patience and prayer.

“As for falsely accusing me… may Allah judge you. And I seek refuge in Allah over my marriage and everything that brings me true happiness.”

The Kano State Police Command has rescued a man from an angry mob after he was accused of blasphemy at a hotel in the Badawa area of the metropolis.

The incident occurred at about 9:45 p.m. on December 21, 2025 at Sarina Hotel, Badawa Quarters.

According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, a distress call was received reporting that three men Musa Tasiu, Awwal Ibrahim, and Soja Snu, all from Dorayi Quarters had visited the hotel to smoke shisha.

One of the suspects, Musa Tasiu, allegedly went to the hotel’s mosque, broke the glass door, picked a copy of the Holy Qur’an and tore it.

“Following the incident, people within the premises mobilised in large numbers, and the suspect was on the verge of being lynched,” the a source told the Zagazola.

Sources said a patrol team attached to the division responded swiftly to the distress call, rescued the suspect and restored normalcy in the area.

The source added that the situation had since calmed, while investigation into the incident was ongoing.

The Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government has introduced mandatory pre-employment drug testing for all applicants seeking positions in the public service.

This is part of the government’s efforts to combat rising drug abuse and its impacts on national security and productivity.

A service-wide circular issued on Monday by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) directs Permanent Secretaries and heads of Ministries, Departments, Agencies (MDAs), as well as extra-ministerial departments and parastatals, to incorporate drug screening into their recruitment processes.

MDAs are required to partner with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to conduct the tests, ensuring compliance with established standards.

The policy stems from concerns over the “alarming rate” of substance abuse, particularly among Nigeria’s youth, which the government says threatens public health, socio-economic development, workplace efficiency, and national security.

Signed by Segun Imohiosen, Director of Information and Public Relations at the OSGF, the statement underscored the administration’s commitment to protecting the workforce from drug-related issues.

This move aligns with ongoing anti-drug initiatives, including recent policies for mandatory testing in universities and other sectors.
