Police Rescue 17-Year-Old Girl ‘Locked Up By Her Aunt’

Plateau Police Command has rescued a 17-year-old girl reportedly locked up by her aunt in Jos, the state capital.

Lifestyle Nigeria reports that the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Coordinator in Plateau, Grace Pam, said the girl was rescued in Rikkos area of Jos North LGA.

Pam explained that the victim was brought to live with her aunt after her grandmother, who was taking care of her, became sick.

NHRC Coordinator said, “The commission received information from an anonymous complainant that the girl was locked up on the balcony of a house by her aunt.

“She was living with her grandmother before she came to the aunt’s house because the grandmother took ill and could not continue to care for her.

“The complainant alleged that the aunt travelled for close to a week and left the girl without food.

“Investigation revealed that the girl was truly malnourished and had scars on her hands, neck, and other parts of her body. The marks resulted from incessant beatings she received from her aunt.

“The matter was reported to the police where the aunt’s statement was taken upon return from her trip.

7 Bullying Signs Parents Must SEE In Children – Lifestyle Nigeria

Bullying is one issue that students might have trouble talking about. However, it’s important to know how to recognize warning signs of bullying, and to know what to do if you or your student notices any signs of bullying in school.

Trouble sleeping

Stressful bullying situations may also interfere with your child’s sleep patterns. Take note if your child has more trouble than usual getting up in the morning or falling asleep at night. Inconsistencies such as excessive or inadequate sleep can be a warning sign of bullying, as can recurring nightmares or bedwetting for a child who normally remains dry.

Aggression

A child who is being bullied may begin to get in trouble more often at home or at school. They may behave more aggressively and may even bully siblings or other younger, smaller kids. If you begin to notice this symptom of bullying, start a conversation with your child or ask a counselor for help.

Low self-esteem

Pay attention if your child begins to mention running away or feeling helpless or not good enough. Sometimes feelings like these can lead children to attempt to hurt themselves or begin substance abuse.

How To Cope With Greedy People – Lifestyle Nigeria

While everyone is selfish to an extent, there is a difference between self-confidence and being too-self-absorbed or arrogant. If you’ve met someone very selfish or perhaps have a friend or partner who’s selfish, here are some concrete ways you can deal with greedy people.

Accept that selfish people have no regard for others

They can have moments of generosity and charm, but for the most part, they simply lack the skill or willingness to be thoughtful and considerate. This knowledge will give you a clear understanding of where you stand in the relationship.

Give yourself the attention you deserve

Selfish people according to findings are emotional pirates. They crave for your attention, but don’t give you any. Therefore, ignoring your needs to pour attention and energy into a self-absorbed person isn’t virtuous. It only sets you up for being emotionally drained and hurt.

Don’t stoop to their level

It’s difficult to be kind to a self-centered person who is brutish or unkind to you, but becoming like them doesn’t help things. Resolve to continue being that considerate and loving person that you know you are.
