Here are photos from the protest ongoing in Pretoria, South Africa by migrants against the Xenophobic attack against foreigners. The protesters armed themselves in case they were attacked by South Africans protesting against them .

The group faced off against a group of South Africans but they were prevented from clashing by police, who dispersed them using a low-flying helicopter and rubber bullets.

Dozens of foreign-owned shops and properties have been looted in Pretoria West, Mamelodi and Atteridgeville over the last two weeks.

A little baby who was sick for months has died -leaving his family in deep sorrow. The boy who suffered from a heart defect before his death -had been sick for 16 months but due to lack of finance, the parents were unable to pay for surgery to correct the issue.

A ray of hope shone on the family after the mother met a philanthropist Amb Dion Osagie from Godsent Foundation in Benin, Edo state as preparations were made to raise money for the child's treatment. The boy died yesterday in Ife ahead of his heart surgery.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on February 16, 2017, arraigned one Bashir Ishaq Bashir alongside his companies, Leda Greenpower Consortium, Leda Greenpower Nigeria Limited and Leda Consortium Limited before Justice S.E. Aladetoyinbo of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT High Court, Maitama, on a three-count charge of obtaining by false pretence and cheating to the tune of $1 million (500 million naira).

Bashir was alleged to have collected the said sum as part payment of a $3 million agreement from Althani Investments Company Limited for the purpose of forming a consortium to bid for shares at the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company. The bidding failed and several attempts made by the company for a refund of the money proved abortive.

He pleaded "not guilty" to the charges when they were read to him. Prosecution counsel, Rimamsomte Ezekiel, thereafter asked for a trial date.

Responding, counsel for the defendant, A.B. Anachebe, SAN, moved the motion for his bail application.

Ezekiel opposed the application, arguing that "the defendant if granted bail will interfere with prosecution witnesses". He further argued that the application was not proper in the sense that the defence only mentioned the name of the first defendant without reference to the second, third and fourth defendants.

Justice Aladetoyinbo, while adjourning to April 10, 2017 for hearing granted him bail in the sum of N2 million and one surety in like some. The surety must be resident in Abuja and must have a landed property.

An expectant mother was all smiles as she welcomed the wife of the Senate President, Mrs. Toyin Saraki yesterday at the Maitama General Hospital at a surprise early morning visit before she went in for caesarean surgery which saw her deliver a set of triplets, safely.

The Founder and President of the Wellbeing Foundation Africa had yesterday paid the urgent visit to Mrs Olivia Plangnaan Sunday who has been a student of the Wellbeing Foundation Africa’s MamaCare Antenatal and Postnatal Education Classes Program which caters for expectant mothers from the antenatal stage through to the postnatal stage. an ongoing program in Her Excellency’s Foundation.

The wife of the Senate President who obviously was filled with joy after the surgery later took to her Instagram page to welcome the new set of triplets; two girls and a boy.

It was later learnt that Mrs Saraki's early morning visit to the expectant mother was made en route to Abuja airport, when she had received a distress call that the expectant mother needed surgical delivery, which was unaffordable to Mrs Olivia Plangnaan Sunday, a pure-water seller and her husband, which would have resulted in a life-threatening delay.

Mrs Saraki, herself twice a mother of twins, made an on-the-spot donation to cover the hospital costs for the mother's surgery and special care of the newborns.
