Man Sentenced to 12 Years in Prison for Killing Wife During Argument

An Ikeja High Court has sentenced Akinwale Akinlabi to 12 years imprisonment for the manslaughter of his wife, Tope, following a domestic dispute.
The tragic incident occurred on February 2, 2020, at Ijaiye Ojojoro, Lagos, during an argument about the volume of a radio. Akinlabi pushed Tope, causing her to hit her head on the edge of a table. She succumbed to her injuries while being taken to the hospital.
Charged with manslaughter by the Lagos State Government, Akinlabi pleaded not guilty. However, Justice Oyindamola Ogala ruled on November 25, 2024, that the prosecution provided sufficient evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.
“The prosecution established the elements of manslaughter, showing that the accused’s unlawful actions led to the victim’s death,” the judge stated. While noting that the death was unintentional, the judge highlighted evidence, such as scars on the victim’s back, which corroborated witness testimonies.
Taking into account the circumstances of the case and the plea from the defense counsel, Justice Ogala sentenced Akinlabi to 12 years imprisonment, effective from February 3, 2020, the date of his initial incarceration.

Oil Prices Rises After US Bombs Iran’s Nuclear Sites

Global oil prices jumped by over 2 percent after the United States launched airstrikes on three of Iran’s nuclear sites. According to Oilprice.com, the market reacted quickly as trading opened on Monday. Brent crude climbed to $78.99 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rose to $75.81 per barrel, both up from $77.07 and $73.83 recorded on Sunday.
The sharp increase followed US President Donald Trump’s announcement on Saturday that American forces had bombed Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities. Iran has vowed to retaliate, heightening tensions in the Middle East and fueling fears of further instability in global oil markets. Experts had already predicted a possible price surge as the Israel-Iran conflict escalated with US involvement.

Dunamis to Stop Live Broadcasts as Pastor Enenche Urges Members to Attend Church Physically

Dr Paul Enenche, the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, has declared an end to live broadcasts of church services. Speaking during Sunday’s service, he urged members to make it a priority to attend church physically rather than relying on watching from home.
Referencing Hebrews 10:25, Pastor Enenche stressed the need for believers to gather together in one place, highlighting that the church assembly plays a vital role in spiritual growth. He noted that virtual participation should no longer be encouraged, except for those living abroad who may not have access to a Dunamis branch.
“For many of you used to watching from your living rooms, this might be the last time,” he said, as the church prepares to shut down live streams on platforms like Dunamis TV, YouTube, and Facebook, which previously aired all Sunday and midweek services.
