The study identified 204 cases in all, but two did not have sufficient data to be included in the analysis. Of the 202 remaining cases, researchers found 145 (72 percent) were in male patients.

By Enitan Abdultawab Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemate, Gerard, has confronted his love interest, Kamsy, over her interactions with other male housemates, saying he was uncomfortable with what he saw as a breach of boundaries. Gerard expressed his displeasure after seeing Kamsy dancing with other men in the house, telling her that their relationship should come with certain limits. “See, I don’t mind if we are friends.

It described his directive to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to vacate the court order freezing the state’s bank accounts as a “panicky, belated afterthought.” It alleged that the president’s intervention was prompted by widespread public criticism rather than a commitment to the rule of law, arguing that the directive exposed contradictions within the federal government and raised fresh questions about the legality of the anti-graft agency’s actions. The…
