 Tanzania stepping up crackdown on critics after recent polls, UN warns Tanzania has stepped up its crackdown on opponents after contested elections in October that were marred by deadly violence, the United Nations warned Friday, AFP reported. Rights groups say more than 1,000 people were shot dead during three days of protests over elections on October 29 that the opposition and foreign observers describe as fraudulent. Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu Hassan retained the presidency with 98 percent of the vote, but the main opposition candidates were either jailed or disqualified. "The government has intensified a crackdown against opponents since the vote," UN human rights office spokesman Seif Magango told a press briefing in Geneva.

Gateman impregnates 3 students in Anambra mission college 

Queen’s Convent Awka, Anambra state, has been thrown into crisis as a gateman employed by the school authorities, allegedly, impregnated three students in the secondary school.

The students, it was learnt, are of Senior School (SS2) class, in the college owned by the Anglican Diocese of Awka.

According to sources, one of the girls impregnated almost committed suicide by attempting to jump down from the upstairs of the hostel if not that she was prevented by her colleagues and teachers.

“I was told that the students of the college have been complaining to the school authorities over the activities of the gateman, but they refused to do anything. I don’t know why the school should even engage the gateman because he drew tattoos on his body and puts on ear rings. These might be what he uses to deceive the girls,” the source alleged.  

A teacher in the school, who spoke under anonymity, added that “some of us did not like the idea of bringing young men of about 28-30 years as security men in a female school.

“Even the students wanted old men who will treat them like their daughters, but it was a collective decision by the authorities, yet, their own daughters are not here. Now that the bubble has busted, who do we blame, how will the parents of those students take it?”

Efforts to speak with the school authorities was not successful as the school gate was shut at our reporter when visited, even though some staff of the college urged us to seek audience with the Bishop of Anglican Communion Awka, Most Rev. Dr. Alexander Ibezim.
