Man With Multiple Wives Gets Confused

An engineer with Air India has been arrested for forgery and polygamy after police say he married at least six women over the past two years. The man, Tushar Waghmare, may have married as many as 14 women since 2006. Police said the man denies the charges but he did admit that sometimes at night he gets confused and can’t find the bathroom.

Debtors’ Prison

Some of Nigeria’s wealthiest people are in jail and more are due to be arrested because they owe money to the country’s five banks. The government just announced they have collected $170 million in bad debts from some of the people they have in jail, a modern-day debtors’ prison. There are billions more outstanding but the central bank has provided a list of people they say defaulted on big debts to the banks and the government believes they have enough space in the country’s jails to eventually get all the money back. The government has also imprisoned 17 bank executives to keep their former clients company.
