Officers called a halt to their questioning as Sean Sykes Junior repeatedly answered by breaking wind.

Officers had held the 24- year-old for possession of cocaine, marijuana and two handguns,one a stolen ­Magnum discovered in his car.

The local paper in Kansas City, US, reports officers noted that, on being asked his name and address after being pulled over, he let rip “violently”.

In his report about the September interview, a detective wrote: “Mr Sykes leaned to one side of his chair and released a loud fart before answering.”

He added: “Mr Sykes continued to be farting and I ended the interview.”

Charges were not filed and Sykes, who denied wrong­doing in between his flatulent outbursts was released.

But he was pulled over again on November 5 and police reportedly found marijuana, crack cocaine and a stolen gun.

Sykes made an initial court appearance last week and is currently in custody pending a further hearing.

Shame!

Popular Muslim activist, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, on Saturday shunned the wedding reception of his daughter, Dr. Jihad Anjorin (nee Akintola).

Akintola said shunning the wedding reception was a way to discourage “lavish spending.”

The activist, who doubles as the President of the Muslim Rights Concern, explained that two of his daughters had got married without holding a reception.

Despite his absence, though, friends and some members of his family, including his wife, were present at the wedding reception, which held at Alausa, Lagos.

While the husband, Abdulganiy Anjorin, is a lawyer, the wife, Jihad, is a dentist.

It was learnt that the wedding reception had Akintola’s approval, however; as he had earlier held the wedding fatiha for the couple in his home on Friday.

It was learnt that the wedding ceremony, which held in Akintola’s home, had about 24 persons in attendance.

He confirmed that he rejected appeals from friends of his son-in-law that he should honour them with his presence at the reception without spending money to organise it.

He said, “Let me state, ab initio, and for the avoidance of any doubt, that I love my daughter, the lucky bride.

“She is an obedient girl, highly disciplined. She has never been wayward and I have never had cause to reprimand her in any way.

“She is the ideal daughter any father would crave. My son-in-law too, Barrister Anjorin, meets all my dreams of a husband for my daughter.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the walimat an–nikah had my blessing. The nikah proper held inside my house on Friday, with very limited number of guests, strictly 21, apart from the officiating imam.

“I have about three or four reasons for not attending the walimat an-Nikah (wedding) on Saturday. First and foremost, I had wedded two daughters of mine in private fashion and this is my own style.

“Secondly, I launched a struggle against wasteful spending a long time ago. I also made it a duty to publicly articulate strong objections to profligacy, both in public and private spending.

“I have called on governments to impose cow tax on anyone who slaughters more than one cow for a ceremony. I have publicly condemned the aso ebi syndrome.

“Should the same Akintola now don the garb of owambe circle? Will it not amount to hypocrisy?

“Thirdly, I really don’t have that kind of money. I will have to apply for cooperative loan in Lagos State University, if I decide to go the way of social wedding for my darling daughter.

“I will have to face the consequences of heavy deductions from my poor teacher’s salary.

“I know how to spend any amount on the education of my sons and daughters, but I can’t see any reason why I should spend lavishly on their nikah.”

He advised Nigerian youths to shun society wedding, adding that it scares people from getting married.

He said, “Expensive weddings scare young men, keep them single and waste the ladies’ time.

“Let me make it abundantly clear, however, that society wedding is not haram and it is in order for those who have more than enough money to spend on it. But, I frown upon those who go out of their way to pose as if they are comfortable, even though they are suffering and smiling.

“Nigerians love to live false life. The more you look, the less you see. They take loans and continue paying the loans for two or more years after the wedding.

“This is what I detest. I do not hate rich people.”

The US Supreme Court on Monday upheld a $120 million patent award Samsung was ordered to pay Apple in the latest ruling in a series of legal skirmishes between the top two smartphone makers.
The US justices let stand without comment a 2016 appeals court verdict reinstating the award for Apple, which sued Samsung over patents for "slide to unlock" and other features used on smartphones.
The case is separate from a bigger patent court battle in which Samsung was initially ordered to pay $1 billion to the iPhone maker. That case is set for a new trial over some elements of the damages awarded.

Monday's ruling involved some smartphone features Apple alleged were copied by the South Korean electronics giant. Samsung had claimed these features were "obvious" and thus not able to be patented.

Apple had sought some $2.2 billion at trial, only to have a jury award the California-based company $119.6 million. An appeals panel overturned that verdict, but the full appellate panel reinstated the award in October 2016 by a vote of 8-3.
Samsung said in a statement its argument was supported "by many who believed that the court should hear the case to reinstate fair standards that promote innovation and prevent abuse of the patent system."

The company noted that one of Apple's patents at issue in this case has been invalidated by courts "and yet today's decision allows Apple to unjustly profit from this patent, stunts innovation and places competition in the courtroom rather than the marketplace."

Samsung and Apple agreed in 2014 to drop all patent disputes outside the United States, marking a partial ceasefire in a seemingly relentless legal war between the world's two tech giants.
The companies have battled in close to a dozen countries, with each accusing the other of infringing on various patents related to their flagship smartphone and tablet products.

Although the governor’s visit was enshrouded in secrecy so as not to attract the prying eyes of the media and residents in the state, it was gathered that he could not hide his emotions as he wailed uncontrollably.
