Pensioner's rare skin condition leaves him with thousands of tumours on his body (photos)

A man has been left with thousands of tumours on his body after developing a rare skin condition 15 years ago.

Diwakar Bisoye, from Odisha State, east India, was plagued by benign tumours including a four stone tumour on his leg.

It is thought to be caused by a rare genetic disorder.

The 65-year-old claims he is treated worse than 'a dirty stray animal' and is forced to wear a balaclava over his face due to cruel taunts from neighbours.


He began to develop a few small lumps on his body 15 years ago, but it quickly spread over his body within a matter of months.

Diwakar is desperate for a cure for his condition - which is not thought to be life threatening - but claims there is no treatment available near his isolated village home.

He said: "People mock and ridicule me directly. They stare at me and avoid me.

"Most people act very strange around me. No one likes looking at me or being near me.

"People think I will infect everything. Landlords don't want me living in their property or ask me to leave when people complain about my condition.

"It's left me without a job for 15 years."

Doctors believe the tumours were caused by a genetic disorder brought on by abnormalities in Diwakar's nervous system.

Dr Subramania Lyer, professor and head of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kerala, said: "This is a case of multiple neurofibromatosis which means that these nodules arise from nerves traversing the body.

"The only solution is the surgical removal of most troublesome swellings.

"Considering his extensive numbers this may have to be done in stages".

Woman 'accused of faking pregnancy and stealing dead friend's newborn baby'

A woman is accused of stealing her friend's new born baby to pass off as her own, while the real mum's body found in the boot of her car.

Heidi Broussard was found strangled and stuffed into a bag in the boot of close friend Magen Fieramusca's car after going missing with baby daughter Margot.

The two friends, who had met at a Bible camp 10 years before, supposedly became pregnant together and giving birth weeks apart in late 2019.

However, it is now alleged that Fieramusca, 33, from near Housten, Texas, was never expecting at all, despite taking a baby to meet her ex-partner Christopher Green, who believed he was the father, reports 9News.


The defendant was in the delivery room when Ms Broussard gave birth on November 25, according to an arrest affidavit.

Ms Broussard's fiancé Shane Carey said she told him Fieramusca had claimed to have given birth herself on December 8 or 9, but the defendant herself later told police it was December 12.

However, she apparently could not remember the name of the birthing centre but brought her 'daughter' home that same day.

Her defence team described the information in the affidavit as "cursory" and "mere allegations".

The nine-page affidavit document details how police used tip-offs and forensic evidence to link the accused to the crime.

Her Facebook page, active for 11 years, was deleted on December 17 and her search history included a search for "bodies found in Austin, Texas", say police.

Fieramusca is due in court on February 3.

Siasia starts GoFundMe appeal to raise money to fund his case at Court of Arbitration after FIFA ban

Former Super Eagles forward and coach, Samson Siasia, has started a GoFundMe appeal to raise money to fund his case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in order to overturn the life ban slammed on him by world football governing body FIFA.

Siasia, according to news, had the appeal created for him three days ago and is aimed to raise $250,000.

“Samson Siasia was alleged “to agree to collect bribe” in relation to a football match. He was subsequently banned for life from all footballing activities, without the benefit of defending himself.

“The Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) has now accepted an appeal from Samson on FIFA’s ruling.


“Legal cost of defending himself is needed for him to clear his name,” observed the statement attached to the GoFundMe appeal.

Close associates of the former Nigeria coach revealed that Siasia has been in depression for the last few months.

Kylie Jenner branded a 'hypocrite' for wearing fur slippers after Australian wildfires plea

Kylie Jenner has been branded a "disconnected" Instagram "hypocrite" after infuriating fans with a post about the Australian wildfires.

Fuelled by 40c heat and high winds, the raging fires have claimed the lives of an estimated half a billion animals across the country.

Twenty-three people were also confirmed to have died, 1500 homes destroyed and more residents are missing as reports suggest the fires show little sign of abating.

The 22-year-old billionaire re-posted a message on social media raising awareness for the plight of animal deaths due to the fires.


Her Instagram stories show an image of a koala being rescued by a fireman with the comment “Over half a billion animals have been killed in Australia. This breaks my heart.”

Just 12 hours later she posted an image of £1,080 Louis Vuitton real fur slippers, prompting followers to brand her a "hypocrite" and "so disconnected it’s unreal".

The open toe pink slippers are made of real mink fur.

“Crying about Koalas dying while literally wearing the skin of this animal as slippers on her feet. Can she just shut the f*** up already ?!” one Twitter user called out.

Outrage among her following continued with many calling it “horrifying”, “ignorant” and “they just don’t care about world problems”.

The backlash to the influencer’s poorly timed social media post has led to a stream of people commenting on her pictures and demanding financial help with the ongoing wildfires.


Many Instagram followers are using her pictures to heap pressure on the socialite to contribute.

“Help with the Australian Bush fires please! This isn’t just an Australian crisis it’s the WORLDS crisis...We only have one chance on EARCTh don’t we want it to still be here for generations to come? DONATE, HELP, RAISE AWARENESS. USE YOUR PLATFORM.”

“Donate to Australia billionaire,” another comment said.

“I know that weave cost $ that could’ve benefited those koalas instead,” the stream of followers continue to point out.

It is unclear whether the Kardashian/Jenner family have in fact donated to the fire fighting funds. Other Instagram followers have alledged that their comments about donating to the fires have been deleted.

“ Kylie Jenner saying she’s heartbroken about bushfires in Australia just irks me. You and your family have literal billions!! You could so easily donate millions without jeopardising your lifestyle!! Saving families and animals > another f***n lip gloss launch,” one follower commented.

Jennifer Aniston's reaction to Brad Pitt's Golden Globes acceptance speech is priceless

All eyes were on Jennifer Aniston at The Golden Globes last night when Brad Pitt made his acceptance speech.

Brad won the Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture award for his role as Cliff Booth in Once Upon a Time In Hollywood.

Before the awards he said: "It's a lovely thing to be acknowledged, the hard work... and I just wish there were more words so others could be acknowledged."

As he accepted his award, we all sat patiently for Jen's reaction and it did not disappoint.


Cue the quick camera pan to Jen

Jennifer was seen smirking - although slightly pained - as Brad joked with the crowd: "I wanted to bring my mom [to the Globes] but I couldn’t because any woman I stand next to they say I’m dating."

She were also seen whispering and laughing with Reese Witherspoon.

Brad also thanked his friend Leonardo DiCaprio, telling him that he "would have shared the raft," - a Titanic joke.

Brad spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the long-awaited reunion with Jennifer on the Golden Globes' red carpet. "I'll run into Jen, she's a good friend."

And it seems they really are... Brad attended Jennifer's 50th birthday party last year and her most recent Christmas party.

New Year: Tinubu heads to State House to greet President Buhari (photos)

President Muhammadu Buhari today met behind closed doors with the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, at the State House.

Although the subject of the discussion of the meeting was not disclosed, Asiwaju Tinubu told journalists that he visited the President to consort with him and wish him well for the New Year.

He also dismissed insinuations about a regime extension plan for President Buhari, commending him for taking time to dismiss the rumour in his New Year message to Nigerians.

He said only unpatriotic people would be using future elections and politics to distract the President from facing governance, saying it is not yet time to start discussing 2023 elections.

Lagos 'forcefully' takes 14-day-old baby from Jehovah Witness parents after they refused her Blood transfusion

Way forward! The Lagos State Government, through the Office of the Public Defender (OPD), has recovered a severely jaundiced 14-day-old baby whose parents denied her life-saving blood transfusion on religious grounds.

The baby girl (name withheld) was delivered prematurely at a private hospital in Surulere with headquarters at Ikoyi on December 18,, 2019 to Mr and Mrs Emmanuel Onokpise of Abata Close, Orile-Iganmu.
 
The baby was discovered to be severely jaundiced at birth and the doctors prescribed that she be given urgent blood transfusion to survive.


But, according to a statement by the OPD, the baby’s parents who are Jehovah Witnesses and on Medical Insurance (HMO), opposed the blood transfusion for their baby citing their religious belief.

They allegedly unilaterally discharged the baby from the hospital against medical advice.

The statement said: “It was the critical health condition of the baby and deviant position of the parents that persuaded a spirited member of the public to inform the Lagos Office of the Public Defender to save the child from untimely death.

“The agency swung into action immediately, got the relevant court order by invoking relevant sections of the Lagos Child`s Rights Law of 2015 and Lagos State Safeguiding and Child Protection Policy of 2016.

“In collaboration with the Nigerian Police, Adeniji- Adele and Orile stations, the baby was eventually evacuated from the parents’ home after stiff resistance from other mobilised members of the Jehovah Witness on 30th December, 2019.”

The OPD said the baby was taken to Massey Street Children Hospital on Lagos Island.

It said the baby, which weighed 2.2kg at birth, weighed less than 1.7kg at the time of rescue, allegedly “due to lack of medical attention after being kept at home for one week and five days by the recalcitrant parents.”

OPD Director, Mrs. Olayinka Adeyemi, who visited the child at the weekend, said: “No responsible and responsive government would fold its arms and allowed any parent or guardian to act ignorantly on religious grounds in a way that would be risky or injurious to the life of any other person, especially children or their wards under their care.

“The administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in its avowed commitment to provide good governance and security, shall leave no stone unturned when protecting rights of women, children, the vulnerable and indigent residents of the Lagos State irrespective of gender and religion.”

Adeyemi said the agency was not oblivious of the fact that many people’s rights are being violated and due to ignorance and poverty, victims cannot access justice.

She urged the public to take advantage of the OPD’s free legal services to get redress, protection and enforcement of their rights, and assured that the State Government would continue to work assiduously until the supremacy of the rule of Law reign in the State.

The director enjoined members of the public to continue to furnish it with relevant information of where human rights are being trampled upon for necessary legal action.

Commissioner of Police in Enugu, Mr Ahmed Abdurahman, while addressing journalists in his office on Monday revealed that the command had constituted a panel of inquiry whose report would be used as a base for the orderly room trial of the affected officers.


He said the panel had been given three days to conclude its work and report back to the command through his office.

“After the panel’s three days’ work, we will look into the panel’s findings and recommendation. Then, they will definitely face orderly room trial and after all these we know what level of punishment will be meted on them,’’ he said.

The commissioner said that the Inspector General of Police, Mr Mohammed Adamu, who had seen the video clip and was quite disturbed.

Iran Soleimani killing: US denies Iraq pullout amid letter confusion

US Defence Secretary Mark Esper has denied US troops are pulling out of Iraq, after a letter from a US general there suggested a withdrawal.

The letter said the US would be "repositioning forces in the coming days and weeks" after Iraqi MPs had called for them to leave. Mr Esper said there had been "no decision whatsoever to leave".

The confusion came amid threats to American forces after the US killed top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani.

He died in a US drone strike in Baghdad on Friday on the orders of Mr Trump. The killing has sharply increased regional tensions, with Iran threatening "severe revenge".

Man arrested for using phone line previously owned by Buhari’s daughter

A Nigerian, Anthony Okolie, has been illegally detained by the Department of State Services for 10 weeks for purchasing and using an MTN SIM card previously used and abandoned by President Muhammadu Buhari’s daughter, Hanan.

The telephone number was said to have been recycled and put up for sale by the popular telecommunications network provider.

Okolie still has receipt he was given for the purchase of the SIM in question.

Making the revelation in a post on Twitter on Monday, rights activist and journalist, Omoyele Sowore, who was himself detained unlawfully by the DSS for months for calling on Nigerians to take to the streets and demand a better country from the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, described the situation as sad.

He said, "A Nigerian, Anthony Okolie, was detained for 10 weeks by the DSS for using an MTN phone line previously used and abandoned by President Buhari’s daughter, Hanan."

Recounting his meeting with Okolie at the DSS cell they shared together, Sowore's co-defendant in the case brought against them by the Nigerian Government, Olawale Bakare widely known as Mandate, in a post on Twitter said, "Only if Nigerians know the level of lawlessness perpetuated by the DSS in the name of 'order from above', we will understand the danger of having a tyrant who has no iota of respect for human rights or dignity.

"The level of arrogance and confidence of the DSS to unlawfully detain innocent Nigerians is disgustingly obvious in their manner of operation and approach.

"Anthony Okolie who happened to be my cellmate at the DSS facility even got lucky to have spent only 10 weeks for committing no offence according to a Senior Intelligence Officer.

"Till now, no one, including Anthony, knows his offence.

"He was only released after being told that "You're now forgiven".

"I can also recall a man who spent four years for only receiving a phone call from a suspected Boko Haram terrorist.

"His property was sold by his siblings while his wife went ahead to remarry with their two children thinking that he was dead.

"The most annoying part is in their hypocrisy, when they try to hide under the law to peddle or legitimise their tyranny and injustice.

"The abrogation of your freedom, security and safety is a step away from 'order from above."

Speaking with SaharaReporters over the bizarre incident, human rights lawyer, Tope Akinyode, said the situation was truly disturbing.

Bayelsa boils, as policeman shoots dead corp member, two others

Yenagoa, Bayelsa State boiled on Monday as a policeman reportedly shot dead three people.

Those shot dead are a commercial driver and two of his passengers. The dastard act has led to riot in the state’s capital.

According to reports, the policeman guarding a new generation bank at the Ekeki axis of the capital city was said to have opened fire on a commercial bus belonging to Peace Mass, a popular transport company in Yenagoa.

The policeman was said to have escaped through a commercial tricycle. the bullet was said to have pierced through the driver’s head and hit two other passengers, including a suspected member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The incident occurred opposite a Peace Mass terminus while the driver was trying to let his passengers disembark his bus before making a detour to enter the terminus.

Trouble started when the policeman got enraged because the driver stopped the ill-fated bus in front of the bank.

An eyewitness described the shooting as totally unnecessary, saying the driver was still behind the wheels of his vehicle when the policeman released the shot.

“We were just in front of here when the policeman started the argument that led to the shooting”, the source said.

“The argument was unnecessary because the driver was just trying to allow his passengers disembark the bus. I heard the driver telling the policeman that he would soon leave the place. But before we knew what was happening, the policeman cocked his gun and shot at him.

“He was lifeless. The bullet hit two other passengers, who were lying unconscious. It was an ugly sight. But the policeman immediately boarded a commercial tricycle and ran away.

“There are about three policemen guarding the bank, but this particular one has been troublesome. He is always aggressive and is always harassing and extorting commercial tricycles here.

“It is very disheartening. The bus came from Onitsha in Anambra State without problems only for this ugly incident to happen at its destination,” the source added.

The Commissioner of Police, Mr Ene Okon, confirmed the arrest in Aba on Monday.
