Reports: Mob attacks suspected gays in Abuja

A mob armed with wooden clubs and iron bars, screaming that they were going to “cleanse” their neighborhood of gay people, dragged 14 young men from their beds and assaulted them, human rights activists said Saturday.
Four of the victims were marched to a police station, where they allegedly were kicked and punched by police officers who yelled pejoratives at them, said Ifeanyi Orazulike of the International Center on Advocacy for the Right to Health.

Nigerian nurse caught attempting to smuggle baby into Britain

A nurse tried to smuggle a baby into Britain after falsely claiming she had given birth to it on holiday in Nigeria.

The illegal attempt to adopt the child was discovered when she tried to obtain a British passport for it.

When Gladys Effa-Heap and her husband Dr Simon Heap, an academic, went to the British High Commission in Lagos with a counterfeit birth certificate the authorities became suspicious and ordered a DNA test that proved the baby was not related to them.
