A secondary school student at the Ado Grammar School, Ado Ekiti, Mathew Favour, died on Thursday following injuries he sustained in a superiority contest with a colleague on the efficacy of their charms.
Sources told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the incident occurred in the evening within the school’s  premises.
The 16-year old was said to have been engaged in a friendly dispute with a colleague over the ownership of a ball before it degenerated into an argument over who had more portent charms.
NAN reports that the late Favour, who was in Senior Secondary (SS2), before his death, was allegedly stabbed in the chest and later died at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), Ado Ekiti, where he was taken to for medical attention.
The suspect, who allegedly killed Favour, has since been taken into police custody.
Sources said Favour, an Ebira indigene from Kogi, was said to have initiated the encounter when he brought out a small axe and a knife  wrapped in a white and red scarf  and dared his colleague to a fight.
However, his colleague was said to have overpowered him after a while, stabbing him in the chest with the knife and fatally injuring him in the process.
It was learnt that the  development brought activities in the school to a halt as other students and teachers alike fled the premises.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Caleb Ikechukwu, said he needed time before he could react, to enable him get a clearer report on the incident.
Police officers from the nearby Odo Ado Division were however, sighted  at the main entrance of the school which had been shut.
NAN learnt the police deployment followed alleged threats by the family of the deceased to embark on reprisal attack at the school.
Confirming the incident, the school Principal, Mr Ebenezer Falayi, said the incident occurred at about 2:15 p.m., after the school had closed .
Falayi said the students had dispersed before the incident attracted teachers who mobilised to the scene to convey the victim to EKSUTH.
“This incident really saddened us because it could have been avoided.
“What I gathered from students who were at the spot of the gory incident was that the duo were arguing over who had superior power and the deceased had earlier gone home to bring all those weapons which could not pierce the suspect when used on him.
“I was told that the suspect  later overpowered him, collected the weapons and stabbed the victim in the chest.
“Our teachers, including myself, my Vice and Registrar alongside other teachers who were resident on campus here rushed him to EKSUTH; We even took the suspect along.
“The victim was put on life support, but that could not help the situation, as he died in the hospital.
“I had to quickly call the DPO of Odo Ado Police Station who reinforced his men and contacted the police station at Oke Ila to prevent the suspect from being killed by highly enraged family members of the deceased.
“The hospital insisted on doing the autopsy before releasing the corpse but the family resisted this.
“They later released the corpse to the family when it nearly caused trouble in the hospital
“The police also took the suspect into custody. But I had to beg for security beef up around the school when there was a threat that 30 students will be killed in a reprisal attack today (Friday),” he said.

More than 7,400 women from Myanmar have been forced to marry Chinese men between 2013 and 2017, the authors of a new study said on Friday.
Most of those women were also forced to bear children, according to the study, written by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Kachin Women’s Association Thailand (KWAT).
It includes surveys of more than 400 women in more than 40 locations in Myanmar and China.
China’s previous one-child policy has resulted in a population disparity, in which men outnumber women by 34 million, fuelling demand for trafficked women from neighbouring countries.
Conflict, land confiscation and other human rights abuses by the Myanmar government in border areas, primarily in Shan and Kachin states, have forced thousands of undocumented women into the arms of traffickers.
This has also ultimately resulted in forced marriages that they cannot escape from, the researchers said.
“Victims of forced marriage suffer a range of rights violations and exposure to physical and psychological risks,’’ said Courtland Robinson, an associate professor at the Bloomberg School and the study’s lead author.
“This research draws attention to the scope of the problem and to the urgent need for support services for victims.’’
The study calls on Myanmar to end its internal conflicts and to ensure that citizens have personal identification documents, which would allow them to work legally in China.
It also calls on the government of China to grant Myanmar refugees access to a safe refuge and humanitarian aid in order to reduce their vulnerability to exploitation and trafficking.

Residents of Oke-Egbe community in Ikare Akoko area of Ondo State are still mourning over last week’s gruesome murder of two septuagenarians, who were hacked to death by yet to be identified ritualists.

Anxiety had gripped the community and its environs when news of the bizarre killings spread like wild fire. First to be clubbed to death with a pestle was a petty trader, Madam Modinat Ala, 72. Her vital organs of her body were removed by suspected ritualists who stormed her residence located at E/97 Okeegbe Street, Ikare.

She reportedly opened the door for her assailants thinking that they were her usual customers, who visit at night to buy the petty household needs she sells at home. The other victim, a 75 year old tenant, Awawu Abdukarim was hit severally with the same pestle for “poke nosing” when the killers of Madinat were busy carrying out their dastardly act.

She was said to have heard strange noises and rushed out to check on her friend, Madinat, only to suffer the same fate as she too was attacked.

CNN’s New York offices were evacuated Thursday night after a bomb threat, but no explosive was found and police later gave the all clear, the network said.
The roughly 90 minute drama recalled a similar evacuation in October after an explosive device was discovered at CNN’s New York headquarters.
Fire alarm bells rang inside the newsroom to signal an evacuation shortly after 10:30 pm, CNN said on its website, as the network went to pre-taped programming.
An hour later the network was broadcasting from Skype.
“People just tuning in wondering why you’re seeing me on Skype, why there’s such technical difficulties, it’s because we have been taken off the air because a bomb threat was called in to CNN,” said host Don Lemon.
“We were evacuated and we know as much as you do.”
“Due to a police investigation at Columbus Circle, West 58th Street between 8th and 9th Avenue is closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic,” the New York Police Department tweeted, referring to the address of the news organisation’s offices. “Please avoid this area. Update to follow.”
Around midnight, CNN said police had given the all clear for people to go back into the building.
The bureau was previously evacuated in October after a package with an explosive device was discovered.
CNN was targeted amid a wave of pipe bombs sent to opponents of President Donald Trump.
A Florida man named Cesar Sayoc was arrested for allegedly sending them and was indicted on 30 federal counts. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.

The  Rivers State Police Command, has exhumed the decomposing corpse of a woman allegedly murdered by her lover in Rumuepirikom, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the state.

The woman, who was said to have been in a relationship with one Udenna Uwabie, also known as J-Boy, was buried in her lover’s room after she was allegedly killed on Sunday, December 2, 2018.

It was learnt that J-Boy and his lover, identified as Beta Anyaele, had a disagreement after he accused her of having an affair with another man.

A brother to the deceased, Eze Anyaele, said when J-Boy was asked of Beta’s whereabouts since Monday that she had been missing, he said he did not know where she was.

Eze told Southern City News that while the search continued, the matter was reported at the Kala Police Station, and that the operatives later found out that J-Boy had murdered his sister.

A pensive Eze called on the police to ensure that justice prevailed, noting that his sister must not die in vain.

It was observed that a large crowd had gathered around 10 am on Thursday at a house located along Wimpey, Ikwerre Road in Port Harcourt, where the deceased was buried, to witness the exhumation of the corpse by the police.

An eyewitness, who identified herself as Chika, said the police arrived the scene of the incident, went inside the suspect’s room, opened a shallow grave found in the room, and exhumed the decomposing corpse of a lady.

She said, “We only know the suspect as J-Boy; he is from Rumuepirikom, Obio-Akpor LGA, while the girlfriend hailed from Ndele in Emohua LGA.

“Some police officers came on Thursday morning and exhumed the decomposing remains of the murdered woman right inside J-Boy’s room in Chime’s compound.”

Our correspondents, who visited the scene of the incident, observed that policemen were positioned at strategic points to forestall any form of violence, while shops were closed and the compound, where the corpse was exhumed, was deserted.

When contacted, the Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, Nnamdi Omoni, said the corpse of the murdered woman was exhumed and her remains taken to the mortuary.

Omoni also confirmed that the suspect had since been arrested and was helping the police in their investigation and would soon be charged to court.
