Bangladesh court upholds Myanmar Rohingya marriage ban*

*Bangladesh court upholds Myanmar Rohingya marriage ban*

A court in Bangladesh has upheld a law which bans Rohingya Muslims from getting married in the country.

The 2014 law forbids registrars from officiating at unions with Bangladeshi nationals and between Rohingya couples, after the government said it was being abused to obtain citizenship.

More than half a million Rohingya fled to Bangladesh from Myanmar in 2017.

The case was raised by a man whose 26-year-old son had been evading police since marrying an 18-year-old Rohingya.

Police had been searching for Shoaib Hossain Jewel since October, when they found out about the marriage, according to local reports.

Mr Jewel reportedly met the Rohingya woman while her family were sheltering at a local Muslim cleric's house. He was said to have travelled hundreds of kilometres to find her in a refugee camp after her family were moved on from his village, before the couple got married.

At the time it was reported to be the first known union between a Bangladeshi and a Rohingya since an upsurge in violence in Myanmar against the persecuted ethnic minority forced hundreds of thousands to flee across the border.

*Benue killings: Atiku threatens to file libel suit, demands N200bn in damages from Unongo*

A former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar on Monday threatened to sue a leader of the Northern Elders Forum, Paul Unongo, for accusing him of being a financier of the Miyetti Allah, an association of cattle breeders. Atiku issued this threat in a letter by his lawyer, Mahmud Magaji (SAN), asking Unongo to retract “the blatant and malicious falsehood” within seven days.

He also asked Unongo to publish the retraction in all national newspapers. Atiku asked Unongo to, within 30 days of receiving the letter, pay him (Atiku) N200bn as damages. The former Vice-President, in his letter, referred to the publication on page 3 of Saturday PUNCH of January 6, 2018 (Vol. 7413), in which Unongo’s claims were reported.

Unongo had claimed that he had interacted with Atiku and knew that the former vice-president was the most powerful person financing Miyetti Allah. Atiku has since denied the claim.
