"A medical team is working around the clock to conclude the identification process," one of the officials said.Interior Minister Efkan Ala told parliament that evidence continued to point to ISIS responsibility and that the death toll had risen to 43, of whom 19 were foreigners. Ala said the identity and nationality of one of the bombers had been determined but did not comment further.
“Precisely about 70 churches, 20 mosques and about 11 hotels, club houses and beer parlours were shut and we’ve given them some directives to follow. We’ve been so strict now that we are not going to even allow make-shift churches in the state any longer. What I mean by make-shift, using tents and uncompleted building, we are not going to allow that any further in the state.
But I will strongly tell you that the level of compliance is more on the mosque area, because immediately you shut them, they instantly bring down their speakers or reduce the noise they make.’’ Shabi says the plan of the state government is to reduce noise pollution in the state to about zero per cent by the year 2020. “As at today, we are only able to reduce the noise level to about 35 per cent. That is not a pass mark yet. So, until we reach that target of 70 to 80 per cent, we will continue the enforcement. Enforcement is a continuous exercise and we have set a target for ourselves. We want to ensure that Lagos is noise-free by the year 2020. With our status as a mega city, by year 2020 we will be free of noise,’’ he said.
“While I’m not running on the basis of being a trans woman, my experiences as a trans woman have given me the empathy to understand the struggles of groups that feel that the American Dream is out of reach,” Snow said in her statement. “I’m running to give a voice to the voiceless.”Plowright, on the other hand earned the Democratic nomination in Colorado by winning more than 13,000 votes while her opponent earned just over 9,600.
"I'm very shocked because I thought that I was having twins or something like that. "Nobody in our family has ever had it. There was not a single case of that kind.
"Generally speaking, I didn't expect it and never anticipated it."
She added: "I can't even imagine right now how it is going to be, to raise so many children at once."The parents were presented with an apartment from Odessa city officials and the quintuplets have already been named by their parents as - Denis, Dariya, Vladislav, Oleksandra and David.
“This decision reflects an important cultural shift we’re all celebrating that empowers women who lead active, purposeful lives and encourage those in their communities to do the same,” she wrote. “Our hope is that this decision will help all of Miss Teen USA’s fans recognize these young women for the strong, inspiring individuals they are.”
“Please, don’t point that gun at us,” as he begs his wife not to shoot them: “I’m sorry. I promise you, whatever you want…“Two more calls were made that day, a second by Taylor that reveals more screaming in the background, and a third made by a neighbor after Madison, Taylor, and Jason ran out of the house.
“She’s coming back again. Oh!!! She shot her again. The female that was lying on the ground.”That is when the Fulshear, Texas, police officer gunned down Sheats.
"I intend to commence hunger strike in protest over the SRO to which I am subject. "I protest that even though a jury found me unanimously not guilty, after nearly two years I still find myself being punished for a crime that never happened.
"I protest to being subject to an order that is unlawful in almost every syllable, is unjustified and is so extreme as to be utterly unlivable. "Home Office guidelines clearly explain the types of behaviour that SROs are designed to prevent, and none of it applies in any way to me.
"The law has been misapplied deliberately by North Yorkshire Police out of sour grapes over being shown to be prejudicial and incompetent in their investigation of the original complaint against me."The man denied having any criminal convictions, "not even a parking ticket", when he spoke to reporters at York Magistrates' Court earlier in the month.
"It puts an end to your life. "I had more freedom in prison. "The severity of the restrictions exceed what convicted criminals would get on a Sexual Offence Prevention Order."He said:
"Can you imagine, 24 hours before sex? Come on."The man has been charged with breaching the terms of the order by refusing to give police the PIN to his phone. He decided, having taken legal advice, not to give them the code as a point of principle, because he said the terms of an SRO were supposed to be prohibitive, not obligatory.
"I'm in a state of shock, I cannot believe this is how the justice system works. "I thought the police were interested in finding out the truth, the only thing the police are interested in is securing convictions." "It's so unjust, there is not a conviction to my name - one allegation, acquitted and they can still shut you down. "They can create this virtual prison."The case will be back before York Magistrates for a full hearing on August 19.
“Since the arraignment of the President of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki and, his deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, before the Federal High Court on Monday, June 27, 2016, the two leaders of the Senate have issued two separate press statements conveying messages that are far from being complementary to the person and government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Senator Saraki, in his statement, clearly insinuated that Mr President is not in control of his administration and that a cabal now runs the federal administration. On the part of Senator Ekweremadu, he insists that President Buhari is exhibiting dictatorial tendencies that can derail our democracy. From their statements, the two leaders of the Senate also gave this erroneous impression that by their arraignment, it is the entire Senate and indeed, the legislative arm of government that is on trial.
They want the public to believe that their prosecution is utter disregard by the executive arm of government for the constitutional provisions of separation of powers and that preferring the forgery case against them is a vendetta exercise. Since this case is in court, the judiciary should be allowed to do its job.
However, it is important to emphasise that this case involves only the four accused persons and should not be presented to the unsuspecting public as involving the entire Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The complaint leading to the forgery investigation was reported to the police by some aggrieved senators, who specifically accused certain persons. It is not the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that is involved and definitely not the House of Representatives. To bring the national assembly as a body into this court case is totally unwarranted. It can only be for other purposes and reasons outside the investigation and legal proceedings.
A case of forgery is usually preferred against individuals. This is not different. As was the case with a former speaker of the House of Representatives, who was accused of certificate forgery, what he did was to resign, honourably. The matter did not even go to court. In that particular case, it was never orchestrated as a matter for the National Assembly. The individual involved did not drag the entire legislature into the matter.”he said
“He is always tired and complains of shortness of breath. He only eats and sleeps, and when he is not done with both, he jumps into the bathtub and stays there for hours. There is no other pain than seeing your own child suffering. My son does not go to school because he cannot walk on his own and needs my round-the-clock assistance. He can only take small steps before he loses balance. I wish to see my son studying and playing with other kids in the neighbourhood."
"Arya was fatter than my first son and other children in the village but we did not think it was a matter of concern. We were happy to see him fuller and considered him to be a happy, healthy child. But it was only a few years later when he bloated and his weight went out of control, we realised he was suffering from a disorder and needed medical attention."Dad Ade, who makes £100 a month, said:
"They asked us to take him to better hospitals if we think he needs medical attention. I have spent money beyond my capacity on his treatment but I am a poor farmer and making ends meet is a big task for me. I have insufficient money to buy food to fulfil his large appetite. I borrow money so that he can eat. Of course, I cannot keep him starving.
"I am exhausted now and I cannot afford expensive hospitals. But I hope to see my son perfectly normal one day.”Rokayah explained:
"No mother wants to stop feeding her children but I am unfortunate and helpless. I have started putting him on a brown rice diet. I am not sure if it helps, but this is the only thing I can do to stop him from growing bigger.”More photos...
