African Husband Threatens Hunger Strike After 88-Year-Old UK Wife Is Remanded in Care Home

Posted in: , ,

Ousman Jatta, 45, married British Beryl in the Gambia, when they were 32 and 75 years old respectively. The couple moved to the UK 9 years ago and Ousman soon took up a job as a store secrity officer. He has remained devoted to his much older wife who has since declined in health and developed dementia.

The much younger man, who is his wife's primary carer, received an emotional blow after he took her to a care home for respite - and social workers refused to hand her back. The devoted hubby dropped her off at a care home in February for respite while he took a well-deserved three-week break to his homeland. But when came back to the UK and went to pick her up, he was told social services had intervened and ruled his dementia-suffering wife couldn't return home with him.

By Chinelo Ngene

Fondly referred to as the heart of Ghana, Accra is a vibrant and engaging city with great people, food and interesting places to keep tourists, travelers and wanderers busy during their sojourn. Though Accra does not boast of as many historical monuments and tourist-attracting features as Cape Coast, the bustling markets, malls and restaurants would satisfy the curiosity of wandering eyes, mouths and legs.

Accra offers a range of options for exploration - for food, in case you prefer fine dining or the camaraderie of dining with locals, the options are open. The nightlife would show you how the youths of Ghana like to relax and end a busy day. In addition to embassies and government buildings, you will find thriving businesses - the fabric stores in Accra are a must - choosing from the range of colorful Kente fabric available is always such a trip for me!

Precious Nwaigwe, the 15-year-old schoolgirl, who disappeared on her way back to school about a year ago, has said she was trafficked to Libya and forced into prostitution to pay the Libyan pimp who bought her from the kidnappers. She lamented that after paying the money, she was again used as collateral for a 500 Libyan dinars (N50,000) loan by the kidnapper's liaison in Libya before she was finally able to return home.

She added that her abductors conducted pregnancy tests on her three different times, which were negative, and that she saw more than 1,000 Nigerian girls, who were also forced to work for the money paid by the pimps to the human traffickers.
