13-year-old commits suicide after torture in Kaduna

A 13-year-old boy, Wisdom Hashimu, has died by suicide in the Ungwan Maigero Community in the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The incident reportedly happened on Thursday, June 7, after a soldier and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force in the area tortured the deceased.

The late Wisdom who carried out the act in the family’s compound on Lafiya Sarki Street was said to have been falsely accused of stealing N10,000 from a neighbour on June 1.

In a report on Channels TV, the 16-year-old neighbour, identified simply as Hope, was said to have invited her boyfriend, Segun Samson, who is a serving soldier at Bodi Camp in Port-Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

However, the money went missing during the visit, thereby prompting Hope to involve his boyfriend who dragged Wisdom and her brother to the Civilian JTF office.

Wisdom, who was sitting for his Junior Secondary School examination, was reportedly severely beaten to a pulp by a soldier and members of the civilian JTF.

Wisdom’s father, Mr Saul, who spoke to the news medium said, “Rather than report to the police, the soldier was said to have dragged Wisdom and Hope’s brother, both accused of stealing the money, to the civilian JTF office.

“At the civilian JTF office, Wisdom was severely beaten to the point where he was unable to walk. He returned home after receiving medical attention.”

Tragedy however struck on Thursday after Wisdom’s lifeless body was found hanging on a noose at the back of their compound.

According to the grieving father, the Civilian JTF took the law into their own hands by torturing Wisdom.

“But, beyond my wildest imagination, the Civilian JTF only beat Wisdom to the point of coma while Hope’s younger brother was spared and returned home unscathed.

“After interrogation at home, her (Hope’s) younger brother confessed to the crime. When he was searched, N9,000 was found in his pocket, and he said he had spent N1,000 already,” he added.

The family therefore demanded justice over the torture that supposedly led to the suicide committed by their late son.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mansir Hassan, said investigation had begun into the matter.

“An investigation has since commenced. The Commissioner of Police has directed the Department of Criminal Investigation to take full charge of the case and whosoever is involved will be brought to justice.”

Trump loses Supreme Court bid to end US birthright citizenship

The US Supreme Court has rejected President Donald Trump’s attempt to end automatic birthright citizenship, ruling that children born on American soil remain entitled to US citizenship regardless of their parents’ immigration status.   In a 6-3 decision delivered on the final day of its term, the court upheld the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, which grants citizenship to nearly everyone born in the United States. The ruling marks another significant legal setback for Trump’s immigration agenda. According to AFP, the case centred on an executive order Trump signed on the first day of his second term, seeking to deny automatic citizenship to children born in the United States to parents who were in the country illegally or on temporary visas. Lower courts had previously blocked the order, finding it inconsistent with the Constitution. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the country and are therefore citizens at birth under the 14th Amendment. Trump personally attended oral arguments before the Supreme Court in April, an unusual move for a sitting US president. His administration argued that unrestricted birthright citizenship encourages illegal immigration and so-called “birth tourism”, where foreign nationals travel to the United States primarily to give birth. The administration also contended that the 14th Amendment, adopted after the American Civil War, was intended to guarantee citizenship for formerly enslaved people rather than the children of undocumented migrants or temporary visitors. However, the Supreme Court reaffirmed the constitutional interpretation established in the landmark 1898 Wong Kim Ark case. In that ruling, the court held that a man born in San Francisco to Chinese immigrant parents was a US citizen by birth despite later immigration disputes. The latest judgment reinforces that precedent and preserves the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship. The decision is the third major defeat for Trump at the Supreme Court this term. Earlier this year, the justices struck down most of his global tariff measures and also blocked his attempt to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.
