A teacher was today jailed for more than eight years for attacking his wife with a machete - after she taunted him over her affair with another man. David Wing, 56, had only been married for a year when wife Yvonne, 45, began having sex with the son of their landlady. The court heard the relationship with lover Don Watkins, 37, was at first permitted by her new husband. But Wing later logged in to his wife’s Facebook account and read messages between the married lovers discussing plans to run away together. Wing was cleared of attempted murder for the machete attack, but is facing jail after he admitted grievous bodily harm. The court heard he was 'provoked' to attack his wife - who taunted him by repeatedly playing Rihanna song Love on the Brain. Prosecutor James Wilson said Mrs Wing was attacked by the machete with a 26inch blade - and suffered a gashed forehead and fractured skull. Mr Wilson said: 'There was a slightly unusual aspect to their relationshi...

A growing trend among women in Ghana sees them take bleaching pills during pregnancy to lighten the skin of their unborn babies while they are still in the womb. Medical experts say these illegal drugs can cause birth defects, including damage to limbs and internal organs. Ghana's Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) says using Glutathione pills for this purpose is dangerous, adding it wants "the general public to know that no product has been approved by the FDA in the form of a tablet to lighten the skin of the unborn child”. The practice is growing in Ghana, according to the FDA, with pills often smuggled into the country inside luggage at airports in large quantities. Although comprehensive data has not yet been gathered, the body says market surveillance and stakeholder activity have helped to reveal the trend among women crosses socio-economic divides. Security agencies and police are working together to arrest and prosecute companies and individuals in possession...

Founder of the House of God International Ministry,  Chris Okotie,   has opined that the ongoing anti-graft war is enough reason for Nigerians to support President Muhammadu Buhari, should he opt to seek re-election in 2019.
