Health / Mum Whose Baby Stopped Breathing Was Told To 'sit And Wait Her Turn' At Hospital by theLegion(m): 5:47pm On Dec 07, 2017
A young mum whose seven-week-old baby stopped breathing claims she was told to sit down and 'wait her turn' after she rushed her little boy into A&E.

Daveanah Cowie, 21, from Derby, was shocked when her pleas for help were ignored by a receptionist who failed to notice how seriously ill her baby was.

But she ignored the order to wait in line and ran to find a doctor who resuscitated little Tommy-Lee and put him on a life support machine, according to Mail Online.

The mother-of-five said her baby 'could have died' if she had not acted quickly.

Tommy-Lee was found to have bronchitis and has been in hospital since November 27 with his twin brother Arlow-Jack, who has the same condition.

Ms Cowie said: "I took Tommy-Lee to hospital because he was poorly and I noticed as I got out of my vehicle that he was not breathing.

"I rushed him through the doors in a panic and asked the receptionist to get help immediately.

"Instead of finding a doctor she decided to take my details and told me to sit down and wait my turn.

"I couldn't believe it. My baby was not breathing and I was told to wait.

"I ignored that and rushed him through the doors and found a female doctor who did life support on him.

"He had episodes where he stopped breathing after that. He was then ventilated and transferred to Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham."



She added: “I just can’t believe how anybody could be that irresponsible. If I had waited my baby could’ve died.

“I told the doctor what had happened and she said: ‘She probably just needs more training’.

“I haven’t received an apology and it’s not on. My baby's life was at risk."

Tommy-Lee and Arlow-Jack are slowly making a full recovery, she said.

Crime / Man Attempts To Kidnap Two Special Marshals In Osun State After Slapping Them by theLegion(m): 7:26pm On Dec 06, 2017
An Osun Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ile-Ife, on Wednesday, remanded one Adegoke Adekanmi, 36, in prison for alleged obstruction and assault.

The 36-year-old was arraigned on a five-count charge of attempting to commit felony, obstruction, assault, slapping and kidnapping of special marshals.

The Prosecutor, Sgt. Sunday Osanyintuyi, told the court that the accused committed the offences on Nov. 14 at about 8:35 am at OAUTHC area of Ile-Ife.

Osanyintuyi said the accused assaulted two special marshals, Omopo Idowu and Oderinde Zacheus, by slapping them while performing their lawful duties.

He further said that the accused attempted to kidnap the duo.

The prosecutor also said the accused obstructed one police officer, Tajudeen Agbaje, attached to “A” Division in Ile-Ife by forcing him into his car while performing his lawful duty.

The offences, he said, contravened Sections 356 (2) and 509 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Osun, 2003.

The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The defence counsel, Mr. Samuel Judge, who applied for the bail of his client, pledged to produce reliable sureties.

Magistrate Olalekan Ijiyode, however, rejected the oral bail application and asked defence counsel to produce a written application.

Ijiyode ordered the remand of the accused at Ile-Ife prison pending the consideration of his bail application.

The magistrate adjourned the case till December 22 for a hearing of the bail application.

Education / 40% Of UNIZIK Staff Watch Pornography At Work - VC, Prof. Joseph Ahaneku by theLegion(m): 5:17pm On Nov 30, 2017
The vice-chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, Prof. Joseph Ahaneku, on Thursday said over 40 percent of the staff of the university watch pornography at work.

The VC who was able to monitor the development in offices on campus from his own network, said he took a drastic decision to curb it by censoring Internet services in the university from his office.

Ahaneku said: “This is one reason we shut down YouTube from the university’s resource centre.

“People should be made to be conscientious as well as do what they have been assigned to do and eschew indolence.

“There have been a lot of abuses on facilities that, ordinarily, should aid staff in their jobs and as a result plans are underway to remove the televisions in central offices."

Ahaneku added, “Spending government time without doing what one is paid for is an act of corruption.”

Kasimu Ibrahim, who lives near the primary school, said the attacker - a man in his 30s - headed to the nursery section of the school.

Kasimu said: "He entered a class and began attacking pupils. He hacked two boys to death , aged about five and seven.”

He also said, a third victim - an eight-year-old girl - died on the way to a hospital in neighbouring Gombe state.

The teacher who managed to raise an alarm was struck in the hand and the attacker was overpowered.

Habibu Suleiman, who also lives nearby, gave a similar account.

Both said police took the attacker into custody and then to a hospital, where he was under armed guard.

Crime / ICPC Arrests Four Ex-kogi Commissioners Over Alleged Fraud by theLegion(m): 4:01pm On Nov 30, 2017
The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission has arrested and detained four ex-Kogi commissioners over alleged fraud.

Spokesman of the commission, Mrs. Rasheedat Okoduwa, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.

Okoduwa identified the ex-commissioners as Kayode Olowomoran (Culture and Tourism), Abdulrahman Wuya (Transport); Godwin Onama (Works) and Ali Ajuh (Budget and Planning).

She said the suspects’ arrest followed ICPC’s investigations into an alleged misapplication of a N2 billion SME loan they secured from the Central Bank of Nigeria on behalf of the state.

According to her, they acted in connivance with the former governor, his Accountant-General, Ibrahim Idakwo; and a former Permanent Secretary in the state Ministry of Commerce, Frank Onoja, reported The Punch.

Okoduwa said: “Preliminary investigations by the Commission also revealed that the suspects allegedly partook in the mismanagement of another N8 bn bond that was raised to fund 57 projects across the state.

“The large sums of monies released for the projects were allegedly far beyond the levels of work done.

"Furthermore, the suspects are alleged to have benefited from illegal deductions to the tune of N1.3 bn made from the funds of 21 local government councils in the state by the same administration.”

The ICPC spokesperson said the suspects would remain in custody until they fulfilled the administrative bail conditions granted them by the commission, while investigations continue.

The state Commissioner for Home Affairs, Information and Culture , Dr Mohammed Bulama, disclosed this at the sidelines of the 9th National Council for Culture, Tourism and National Orientation held in Dutse, Jigawa.

He said: “We are going to convert the house of the leader of the Boko Haram sect Mohammed Yusuf where the insurgency all started from, to a museum.

A woman whose heart stopped for 68 minutes as she was giving birth, woke up from coma thinking she was just 13-years-old.

Shannon Everett, 22, from Cwmbran in Gwent, South Wales had no idea she had two kids and a fiancé, Ioan.

Shannon, who suffered an amniotic fluid embolism last September had just told him and her mum, Nicola Everett, 46, she loved them when she started bleeding during child birth and the next her heart stopped beating and she started severely bleeding, all while giving birth to baby Nico.

According to Daily Mail, medics put her in an induced coma to save her life but when she woke up two weeks later she had no idea who her fiance or her two children were.

Nicola, a full-time carer, said: "She kept calling me "mammy" and when we asked her where she lived, she gave us the address for a house we'd lived in when she was 13.

"She had no idea who her fiancé was and didn't believe us when we told her she had two kids. It was like she'd forgotten her whole life and thought she was a teenager again."

After spending six weeks in hospital...

Foreign Affairs / Robert Mugabe Has Finally Resigned As President Of Zimbabwe!! Full STORY ! by theLegion(m): 6:07pm On Nov 21, 2017
Robert Mugabe has finally resigned as president of Zimbabwe after nearly four decades as the country's leader.

Wild celebrations broke out in Zimbabwe's parliament after speaker Jacob Mudenda read out Mugabe's resignation letter.

In his letter of resignation, he said: “I Robert Gabriel Mugabe hereby formally tender my resignation as President of Zimbabwe with immediate effect.

“My decision to resign is voluntary on my part.

He added he had resigned to “allow smooth transfer of power”

The celebrations have continued outside Parliament, with
Zimbabweans taking to the streets with joy.

Robert Mugabe's resignation follows pressure from both within his regime and from international powers.

Last week Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson tweeted: “UK and South Africa agree Zimbabweans must be able to decide their own future in free and fair elections in line with constitution.

“Authoritarian rule should have no place in Africa”

A new leader is expected to be in place by tomorrow while the parliament work to legally expedite the process.

Mugabe did not recommend a successor as part of his resignation.

Zanu PF chief whip Lovemore Matuke told Reuters: "I am very happy that the president had chosen to go voluntarily."

"This would have ended in serious embarrassment" if the party was forced to impeach Mugabe, he said.

Zimbabweans have been filmed celebrating in Harare with many cheering, dancing and honking car horns.

Crime / Woman, 53, Admits Drowning Four Newborn Babies In Concrete by theLegion(m): 9:49am On Nov 21, 2017
A Japanese woman has confessed to police that she drowned four newborn babies in concrete-filled buckets two decades ago because she was too poor to look after them.

Source - https://www.veeinsider.com/news/woman-53-admits-drowning-four-newborn-babies-in-concrete-in-90s/

Mayumi Saito, 53, was arrested Tuesday on charges of abandoning bodies, a day after she turned herself in at the police station, telling them she had felt guilt for not caring for them.

A police official said human bones were identified in buckets found
in her condominium.

Saito was quoted by police as saying she put the bodies into concrete from 1992 through 1997 because she had been too poor to raise them, but she had been filled with guilt over the years.

According to NY Post, the causes of the babies’ deaths were unclear. It is fairly standard in Japan for criminal charges to be added later as an investigation progresses.
