Operator arraigned over boat mishap in Lagos

A boat captain, Elebiju Happiness, has been dragged to court by Lagos State Government over the boat mishap on Lagos Waterways around the Kirikiri area.

Elebiju was arraigned before Hon. Justice Josephine Oyefeso of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja on Thursday on a Ten (10) count charge dated 24th of August 2020.

The defendant was charged with involuntary manslaughter and the operating of a boat without a license.

The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.

Elebiju allegedly caused the death of Thirteen (13) passengers in a boat mishap on the Lagos State Inland Waterways along Kirikiri after taking off from an illegal loading site with twenty (20) passengers.

Upon capsizing, the rescue team of Lagos State Waterways Authority, Marine Police and other boat operators rescued five (5) passengers while the defendant (Captain of the boat) and his Deck hand boy survived.

The Director Public Prosecutions, Mrs Yinka Adeyemi, who led the prosecution argued that the alleged offences against the Defendants were Involuntary Manslaughter contrary to Section 224 and punishable under Section 229 of the Criminal Law Ch C17, Vol. 3, Laws of Lagos State, 2015 and Operating without a license contrary to Section 311 (1) of the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018.

The DPP further presented two witnesses before the court who gave evidence against the defendant.

The trial Judge, Hon. Justice Josephine Oyefeso, however, adjourned the matter to the 17th of September for continuation of trial.

In a related development, the Lagos State Government has also commenced the prosecution of the driver and owner of a vehicle, Dominic Amaechi and Cyprian Arinze respectively over the killing of two persons and causing bodily harm on another person.

The defendants were arraigned on the 2nd of September 2020 before Hon. Justice Oyindamola Ogala of the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja.

The driver of the vehicle was charged with among others, driving in a dangerous and reckless manner, involuntary manslaughter, causing grievous bodily harm, wilful damage to property, and failure to obtain a valid driver’s license.

The owner of the vehicle was charged with Involuntary Manslaughter as a result of refusal to ensure that his truck was roadworthy and failure to obtain vehicle licence and relevant permits.

The Defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges. The accident caused the death of Eno Joseph (M), Titilayo Alayonimi (F), breaking of the leg of one Alani Oladipupo (M), and also causing severe damage to the property of Saba Steel Nigeria Ltd.

According to the Prosecutor, the offences were contrary to Section 224 of the Criminal Law, Laws of Lagos State 2015, Sections 18 and 51 of the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018.

The case was adjourned till the 30th of September for trial.

Brazil announces equal pay for men’s and women’s national football teams

Brazil’s football association (CBF) has announced that women will be paid the same amount as men for representing the national side. Australia, Norway and New Zealand are among the nations who have already enforced equal pay for male and female footballers who play for the national team. 

And now Brazil’s female stars such as Marta, Formiga and Leticia Santos will receive the same pay as the likes of Neymar, Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino. Brazil’s women’s side are still searching for their first World Cup win having reached the final in 2007. 

The team also reached the finals at the Olympics in 2004 and 2008, and finished fourth in 2016.

‘Since March of this year, CBF has made an equal value in terms of prizes and daily rates between men’s and women’s football,’ said CBF’s president Rogerio Caboclo. 

‘That is, the players earn the same thing as the players during the calls. What they receive by daily call, women also receive.

‘There is no more gender difference, as the CBF is treating men and women equally. ‘What they will gain by conquering or by staging the Olympics next year will be the same as the men will have.’

Pia Sundhage, the Swedish head coach of Brazil’s women’s side, added: ‘This is historic. ‘Being a part of this is very special, I’m very grateful.’

Four NFF staff test positive to coronavirus – Pinnick

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, has revealed that four members of its staff returned positive for coronavirus after general tests were conducted.

The NFF had initially announced that a member of its management tested positive for COVID-19 in August and this informed the general testing for all the other staff.

Mr Pinnick on Wednesday revealed that four positive tests emanated from the general exercise carried out but he was quick to allay fears. He said one of those who tested positive has fully recovered while the others are also in stable condition.

“We also conducted COVID-19 tests on all members of staff and four returned positive.

“While one has fully recovered and confirmed negative, others are in stable condition, receiving treatment with the full compliments of the NCDC,” Mr Pinnick revealed via a tweet on Wednesday on his official handle.

Ousted Malian president hospitalised after mini-stroke

 

Former Malian president Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, who has not been seen in public since his August 18 ouster in a coup, has been hospitalised after suffering a brief stroke-like attack, a doctor said Wednesday.

Keita, 75, was admitted to a private clinic in the capital Bamako on Tuesday evening, he said.

“According to thorough analysis, the president was the victim of a transient ischaemic attack. It is an alert, but he is recovering well at the moment,” a doctor at the facility said.

A transient ischaemic attack, also called a mini-stroke, happens when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted for a few minutes, causing stroke-like symptoms such as numbness on one side of the body, vision difficulties or confusion in understanding speech.

Although the symptoms are typically short-lasting, they are often a warning sign for future strokes, experts say.

Earlier Wednesday, an aide to Keita and a medical source had said the former president had been admitted to the clinic for a routine checkup and that he was expected to return home in the coming hours.

Asked how long Keita would stay, the doctor said: “It’s true, his return home was initially envisaged for today, but right now he is under observation.”

The president was ousted by young military officers who mutinied at a base near Bamako before heading into the city, where they seized Keita and other leaders.

Hours later, Keita announced on national TV that he was stepping down.

He was released on August 27 by the new junta, who returned him to his residence in Bamako, where according to his entourage he has limited access to a phone and the internet.

The junta has said that Keita is authorised to leave the country for medical care if need be.

Keita, who was two years into his second five-year term, had been battling mounting protests fuelled by his handling of a bloody jihadist insurgency and failure to turn around Mali’s floundering economy.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's school trip slammed by parents denied entry

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's trip to a pre-school in Los Angeles has been slammed by parents who have been denied entry themselves due to coronavirus restrictions.

 Mums and dads of pupils at the pre-school are understood to be prohibited from visiting due to strict coronavirus rules.

However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were exempt from the ban when they went to the Assistance League Preschool Learning Centre to plant flowers in memory of Princess Diana.

Harry and Meghan were pictured wearing masks and planting forget-me-nots alongside the tots, who were also sporting face coverings, the Daily Star reports.

The visit marked the 23rd anniversary of Diana's death, with the royal couple visiting the school to raise awareness about at risk children in LA.

However, parents were not impressed that the duo were allowed to enter despite coronavirus restrictions.

One user on social media commented: "I could not even hold my daughter's hand and take her into school last week when she started kindergarten. These two just 'turn up and break the rules' whenever they feel like it?"

Another added: "Not safe to go back to school but safe for mingling with strangers for a photo op."

One expressed their disappointment and said: "Exactly I can't take a pencil to my child right now. NO visitors. No exceptions.

"They have no respect for the rules as they are 'humanitarians' they are the exception? BS kids in the US have no clue what a Duke/Duchess even is but they can come in when I can't..for a pic?!?"

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and his family contract COVID-19

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson says he and his family had all contracted Covid-19.

The former wrestler, who is now the world's highest-paid actor, said he, his wife and two daughters caught the virus despite being "disciplined" about health protection.

He said the positive tests were "a kick in the gut".

Now, he added: "We're on the other end of it and no longer contagious. Thank God, we're healthy."

Johnson, 48, said he. his wife Lauren, 35, and their daughters Jasmine and Tiana, aged four and two, contracted the virus about two-and-a-half weeks ago.

They caught it from "very close family friends" who, in turn, had no idea how they had been infected.

"I can tell you that this has been one of the most challenging and difficult things we have ever had to endure as a family," Johnson said in a video posted on his Instagram account.

"Testing positive for Covid-19 is much different than overcoming nasty injuries, or being evicted or even being broke, which I have been more than a few times," he added.

"My number one priority is to always protect my family."

"We are counting our blessings right now because we're well aware that it isn't always the case that you get on the other end of Covid-19 stronger and healthier," said Johnson.

"It baffles me that some people out there, including some politicians, will take this idea of wearing masks and make it part of a political agenda.

"It has nothing to do with politics. Wear your mask. It is a fact. And it is the right thing to do."

35 year-old man stoned to death after missing 3-year-old girl found seated on his bed

A 35-year-old casual labourer was on Monday stoned to death for allegedly attempting to defile a three-year-old girl at Kambe market area in Ting’ang’a location of Kiambu Sub-county, Kenya.

The victim, Michael Karimi Kai, died at the scene following the beating by members of the public who responded to a distress call from the mother of the minor.

Armed with crude weapons including logs, sticks and stones, the public descended on the suspect who was caught red-handed with the child in his house at about 9am.

An eyewitness told KNA that the mother of the child after realizing that her child was not with her playmates started looking for her in the neighbours’ houses.

With assistance from her neighbours and friends, they knocked on the door of the suspect and found the child seated on the bed in the single-roomed rented house.

They raised alarm and curious members of the public responded and entered the house upon which they started beating him up after he failed to give a satisfactory explanation of what the minor was doing in his house while others were playing outside.

Ting’ang’a Assistant County Commissioner Caleb Nyongesa confirmed to KNA that the suspect had been beaten up following the allegations.

He, however, warned the public against taking the law in their hands by punishing suspects without involving law enforcement officers, saying this was unlawful.

“Unfortunately, it is true, the man was beaten up and he succumbed to the injuries before the assistant chief could reach the scene otherwise we could have saved him and handed him over to the police to carry out their investigations,” Mr. Nyongesa told KNA on phone.

The man’s body was taken to Kiambu Level V Hospital as investigations into the incident continue.

India bans 118 Chinese apps in new backlash over border dispute

India banned 118 more Chinese apps in a stepped-up backlash over an increasingly bitter border showdown between the giant neighbours.

The Information Technology Ministry said the apps including the mobile version of the popular video game PUBG and other services provided by China internet giant Tencent  promoted activities “prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order”.

India and China have been embroiled in a series of deadly clashes and showdowns on their Himalayan border in recent weeks.

In June, 20 Indian soldiers were killed in hand-to-hand combat in the Ladakh region of the border. An Indian special forces member was killed in one of two incidents at the weekend.

China has also suffered casualties but has not given figures.

India had already banned 59 Chinese apps — including the video-sharing platform TikTok — after the June battle.

The PUBG mobile phone app has millions of young users in India.

Other apps closed down include games, online payment services, dating sites and even software to edit selfies.

PUBG was developed by a South Korean company, but the mobile version that has taken off around the world was developed by Tencent.

The IT ministry accused the apps of stealing user data.

The “mining and profiling by elements hostile to national security and defence of India, which ultimately impinges upon the sovereignty and integrity of India, is a matter of very deep and immediate concern which requires emergency measures”, it said.

BBNaija: “I haven’t made up my mind about you yet” – Kiddwaya tells Erica

Loverboy Kiddwaya has told Erica he is yet to make up his mind about her and where he can probably place her in his life.

Last night, the two talked about their emotions and feelings where Erica pointed out to him some areas he falls short in their relationship. According to her Kiddwaya doesn’t show much of himself to her neither does he speak of the life they could have together outside the house.

Though Kiddwaya assured her she will see more of him but she doubts because he never talks about them. He replied to her saying it is not in his nature to show her more of him because he hasn’t made up his mind about her yet.

Kim Jong-un’s troops seen gathering for massive military parade despite coronavirus [photos]

Masses of North Korean soldiers have been spotted practicing for a major military showcase - despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Satellite images released by a US think tank show formations of troops and vehicles at the Mirim Parade Training Ground in the capital Pyongyang.

"North Korea has been widely expected to hold a major military parade on October 10 this year," the worrying 38 North report said.

"These images provide the first evidence that rehearsals are underway."

The news comes even though it's been reported Kim Jong-un's kingdom is secretly in the grip of a Covid-19 outbreak.

The true extent to which the virus has spread within the state is not known, but it has closed its borders and implemented strict lockdown measures.

It was even reported that troops have been ordered to shoot anyone seen straying near the border with China.

The terrifying order apparently came after dictator Kim claimed North Korea is free of the killer virus and insisted he wasn’t worried.

And it appears Kim is not going to cancel his country's annual display of military might - even thought it regularly attracts huge crowds to the capital.

The Mirim facility is often used by troops practicing the demanding marching style featured in North Korea's extravagant parades.

The huge displays - which also feature tanks, missiles and armoured trucks - usually take place in Pyongyang's Kim Il-sung Square.

They are held in front of powerful state dignitaries including 'Glorious Leader' Kim himself.

The parades are timed to mark the anniversary of the formation of the Workers’ Party of Korea which is a huge public holiday.

However, preparations for the event appear to have been delayed possibly due to anti-pandemic measures or recent severe weather, 38 North said.

Russian opposition leader Navalny may have been poisoned through underwear

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny may have been poisoned by a tiny amount of toxin sprinkled in his underwear or socks, according to a retired scientist.

Vladimir Uglev, who claims to have developed the nerve agent Novichok, floated the alternative theory in an interview with Echo of Moscow radio and reported by the Daily Mail on Wednesday.

“They put this substance on his underwear, his underpants, socks, or his undershirt, and that was it,” Uglev said.

Supporters of Navalny, 44, believe he sipped spiked tea at an airport before falling ill on a flight from Siberia to Moscow, blaming the Kremlin for the attack.

But Uglev suggested he may have been poisoned before he got to the airport.

“In the morning Alexei woke up, showered, got dressed and went to the airport,” he said. “And since the substance acts slower via the skin than say through the digestive system, time passed [before it had an impact].”

Uglev said just a tiny amount of toxin would have been enough to sicken the dissident, one of President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest critics.

“Speaking about the quantity of the poison that was needed, it’s 1 to 2 milligrams or approximately a 1/30 of a water drop,” the nerve agent expert said. “This is enough to poison a healthy man to death.”

But Uglev said it wouldn’t be possible that Navalny was poisoned with Novichok specifically the substance used to poison turncoat Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in 2018 because more people would’ve been sickened.

WTO: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala takes up American citizenship

Former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has taken American citizenship.

This is coming after more than 30 years after the former two-time minister studied in the United States.

Bloomberg reports that Okonjo-Iweala actually took US citizenship in 2019 as she fought for the position of the director-general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

According to Bloomberg, most of the candidates battling for the position with the Nigerian boast of dual citizenship, which experts believe may boost their chances at getting the much-coveted job.

The other candidates for the position, such as Jesús Seade Kuri, is Mexican and Lebanese.

Also, Amina Mohamed, a Kenyan minister, is also Somali and Abdel-Hamid Mamdouh is both Swiss and Egyptian.

Nigeria’s former finance minister worked in the US for well over 25 years without taking up its citizenship.

However, this affected her when she ran for the president of the World Bank in 2012 because she was not backed by the US, losing the seat to Korean-American Jim Yong Kim.

Nigerians drag Buhari over new fuel price, electricity tariff

Twitter is currently agog with Nigerians calling out and insulting President Muhammadu Buhari following the increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) and the hike in electricity tariff to N66 per kwh.

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) set a pump price of N162 for petrol in the south-west region.

This followed the increase of the ex-depot price for the product by the Petroleum Products Marketing Company, a subsidiary of NNPC. The price was increased from N138 to N151.

Electricity distribution companies (DisCos) across the country also began on 1 September the implementation of a new electricity tariff regime of N66 per kwh.

However, the moves have led a great number of aggrieved Nigerians to start dragging the President on Twitter, describing those moves as cruel and callous.

See some tweets ;

They Doubled the Electricity Tariff and increased fuel / petrol price too.

Either ways, Nigerians must suffer.
Sai baba .. sai Buhari . Sai Next level .

Stella Immanuel celebrates clearance by Texas Medical Board

Controversial US-based physician, Dr Stella Immanuel, is rejoicing over the dismissal of the complaints against her following her claim that hydroxychloroquine can cure COVID-19 ‎by the Texas Medical Board.

Dr Immanuel announced that she has been cleared of the allegation in a post on her Facebook page on Wednesday

She also attached the letter of clearance from the Texas Medical Board which she asked her haters to “read and weep.”

She said, ‎”Texas medical board dismisses the complaint against me. The haters have been defeated and God has shown Himself as my protector and defender. God bless TMB, God bless Texas, God bless America. Good will win. American will win. Haters read and weep.”

In the letter, the Board indicated that the investigation was dismissed because there was insufficient evidence to prove that she violated Medical Practices Act.

“As such, this complaint has been dismissed without prejudice. No further action will be taken concerning this complaint,” the Board said in the letter.

Immanuel had early August through a tweet announced that the Texas Medical Board had opened an investigation into her claim that the anti-malaria drug can cure COVID-19.

This followed an early warning by the Board that it will take action against any complaint about false, misleading or deceptive advertising for COVID-19 cure under its standard enforcement process.

In the tweet confirming that the Board has begun investigating her, the Huston based doctor had also solicited for donations to fund her legal efforts.

Immanuel attracted global attention in July 2020 when a video of her touting hydroxychloroquine as a cure for Covid-19 went viral taken in company of other medical doctors went viral.
