8-year-old bride dies from injuries after wedding night sex with 40-year-old husband

An eight year old bride, Rawan, in Yemen died from internal injuries on her wedding night, bleeding to death after deep vaginal tearing caused by sex with her 40 year old husband.

She died in Hardh in the governorate of Hajjah in northwestern Yemen, according to a report issued by UPI on Sunday, Sept. 8.

Yemeni activists urged the local police to arrest the “beastly groom” and the girl’s family and transfer them to a court where justice would be served and the case would be used to help put an end to the practice of marrying very young girls in the impoverished country, the daily said.

In Kuwait, bloggers offered their prayers for the “bride”, but lashed out at the “groom”, saying that he was a beast who should be severely punished.

May her soul rest in peace.

KCEE opens up on his love affair with actress, Ebube Nwagbo

Limpopo singer Kcee in a recent interview cleared the air on his love affair with Nollywood actress Ebube Nwagbo; he also addressed the ongoing rumour on his failed marriage.
See excerpts below:
Can you clear the air on your marital status and the alleged affair you had with actress, Ebube Nwagbo?

Most times, I don’t like talking about marriage because it is a private issue. But to clear the air, I never said I was married or not. The person that did the interview made a mistake. They asked a simple question about a wedding in Lekki some years back and I told them it was not my wedding, it was E-Money’s wedding.
Were you dating Ebube at the time?
Yes.
Were you married at the time?
(Giggles) I don’t want to talk about it; I think we should move on

His word; “The national executive has issued guidelines for the setting up of harmonization committees in the various states.
“The harmonization committees are not caretaker or interim committees, but just harmonization committee. The objective is to ensure the fusion of the three parties into one political party.
“They are to ensure that meetings take place at all levels. By next week, we hope to finish work on the harmonization committee for them to start work right away, ” he said
Speaking on the theme, ‘Nigeria: The New Vision,’ a former governor of Kano State and member of the merger committee of the All Progressive Party, Ibrahim Shekarau decried the security situation in the country, saying the PDP-led government was a “total failure.”
