 Medical and Pharmacy Interns of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) are protesting the non-payment of their salaries for at least 3 months, some for longer. These house officers and interns are the initial line doctors, they're the first ever to start to see the patients, first to access work and last to leave, and for the past 3 months they've not been paid. Not fair! The relevant authorities should please address this problem before the specific situation escalates.

A Petty trader, Mrs. Rose Abbey got what she didn’t bargain for when she was allegedly detained in a Micro Finance Bank at Ipaja area of Lagos, for failing to pay a weekly N2,000 earlier agreed on towards offsetting the N17,000 loan she borrowed from the bank.

It was alleged that she was abducted and beaten up before she was locked up in a room at the bank located at 170/ 172, Ipaja Road Baruwa on April 25.  She was, however, released three days later.  Before then, she was allegedly neither allowed to have access to members of her family nor given food.  The housewife who hails from Edo state later regained her freedom, after her friend paid the N2,000 to the bank.
