Minister Places N2 Million Bounty On Anambra Lawyer

Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye, has declared Anambra-based lawyer, Adachukwu Chukelu Okafor, wanted, alongside a N2 million bounty, for brutalising her 11-year-old househelp.

Naija News reported that Adachukwu, who resides in Akpaka, Onitsha, molested 11-year-old Happiness, whom she brought into her home in January 2024 after contacting her parents to help her get a child who would assist her with house chores. The househelp had mistakenly touched the private part of the lawyer’s little son while bathing him, and she inserted a hot knife into her private part as punishment. The action generated outrage among residents, which led to the lawyer’s ‘disappearance’, and has failed to disclose her whereabouts or respond to calls. Briefing newsmen Monday in Abuja, Kennedy-Ohaneye condemned Adachukuw’s action and urged the public to report her whereabouts to the police if seen. She said, “I decided to keep quiet on an issue, thinking that by now it should have been solved, the issue of one Mrs Adachukwu Cukelu-Okafor, who burnt a 10 year-old house girl with hot knife, putting it in her private part and at the same time using hot iron to do a lot of damages on this girl’s body. “I kept quiet because I thought by now it should have been solved. For the fact that up to date it has not been solved, I’ve decided to weigh in. Some people ask why the Women Affairs Ministry is always getting involved in things. It is within my purview to get involved. “Everything that concerns women and children across Nigeria, I have every right to get involved in it. See this one I kept quiet. What has happened till date?

These 4 Quebec restaurants have stopped accepting tips — Here’s why

<img src="https://www.mtlblog.com/media-library/some-quebec-restaurants-have-decided-to-stop-accepting-tips.jpg?id=54490375&width=1200&height=800&coordinates=96%2C0%2C96%2C0"/><br/><br/><p>The issue of tipping in <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/eat-drink/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quebec's restaurant scene</a> has been heating up in recent weeks. </p><p>Despite last week's unanimous approval of <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/new-quebec-tipping-law-bill-72" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quebec Bill 72</a> — which introduces new measures to regulate tipping screen prompts on payment terminals — it doesn't seem to be getting unanimous support from the public, particularly in the restaurant industry.</p><p>The new law, which is set to take effect in the next few months, will make it mandatory for tip suggestions to be calculated based on the bill's pre-tax total, and they will have to be presented in a neutral manner. While this regulation is widely welcomed by customers, some argue it misses the mark by not addressing the root issue: that employers should be responsible for paying their staff fairly.</p><p>To tackle this head-on, a few restaurants across the province have decided to go tip-free, choosing to factor the foregone tips into their menu prices and pay their staff a fair and consistent wage rather than leaving it up to customers. Here's a look at just a few of the spots in Quebec that are pioneering this approach.</p><h3>Larrys</h3><br/><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6B3xDlr5En/" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"> <div style="padding:8px;"> <div style="background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"> <div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"> </div> </div> <p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6B3xDlr5En/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_top" rel="noopener">See on Instagram</a> </p> </div> </blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><p>Price: 💸💸</p><p>Cuisine: French cafe<br/></p><p>Address: 5201, boul.
