The Egyptian army has overthrown President Mohamed Morsi, announcing a roadmap for the country’s political future that will be implemented by a National Reconciliation Committee.

The head of Egypt's armed forces issued a declaration on Wednesday evening suspending the constitution and appointing the head of the constitutional court as interim head of state.

In a televised broadcast, flanked by military leaders, religious authorities and political figures, General Abdel
Fattah al-Sisi effectively declared the removal of elected Islamist President Mohamed Morsi.

Sisi called for presidential and parliamentary elections, a panel to review the constitution and a national reconciliation committee that would include youth movements. He said the roadmap had been agreed by a range of political groups.http://saharareporters.com/news-page/egypt-army-overthrows-president-morsi-al-jazeera

Castello. pls what does the YouWin boot camp for awardees entails, and where will it be conducted.

Professor David Kolo of the Ahmadu
Bello University (ABU) Zaria has
been dismissed from the institution
for sexually harassing one of his
female students, Weekly Trust
exclusively reports.
This followed the endorsement of
the recommendation of a disciplinary
committee set up to investigate
Professor Kolo of ABU’s faculty of
education by the governing council
of the university.
Kolo was earlier sentenced to two
months imprisonment by a court in
Jigawa State, after he was found
guilty of attempting to force his
female student to accept his sex
advances. The student, who is a
married woman, had through her
husband informed security agents.
An impeccable source, close to the
ABU’s governing council, said the
council had on Wednesday, during
its meeting, approved the dismissal
of the professor.
“You know the professor was queried
by the university authorities but he
refused to answer the query. He also
refused to honour the invitation of
the disciplinary committee that was
set up to investigate the issue. The
committee was left with no option
than to present its report to the
governing council after
investigation”, the source told
Weekly Trust.
“The governing council, which is the
body that is vested with powers of
employing and dismissing staff,
considered the report and approved
the dismissal of the professor. We
hope this would serve as deterrence
to other staff that may want to
engage in such acts of indiscipline,”
it added.
In his reaction to the whole episode,
the chairman of ABU-ASUU, Dr.
Muhammad Kabir Aliyu, said ASUU is
a responsible organization, and as
such it frowns at any act that would
demean the association.
“I heard about the setting up of the
council committee and the invitation
extended to the Professor, but I am
not a member. We always advise our
members not to engage in acts that
would demean their character and
that of our organization. Therefore,
we are not happy with what the
Professor did. I am not in town, so, I
did not hear about the dismissal,”
Dr. Aliyu said.
Mallam Ahmad Abdullahi Kundila,
the Ag Registrar of the university,
who doubles as the secretary of
ABU’s governing council, according
to our source, was assigned by the
council to serve the Professor with
the dismissal letter.
Malam Kundila was said to be very
busy at his office with administrative
matters when Weekly Trust visited
and his mobile phone was switched
off from morning to evening of
yesterday.
But some lecturers interviewed by
our correspondent at the main
campus of the university commended
the action of the council, saying that
other officials of the university that
engage in such acts would have a
lesson to learn.http://www.weeklytrust.com.ng/index.php/top-stories/13106-abu-sacks-prof-kolo-over-sexual-harassment

Vonwolf: Na Jealosy dey worry am, what did he achieve with d eagles?

did you read, before commenting?

Super Eagles Head Coach,
Stephen Okechukwu Keshi,
was a sober figure after the
team lost 3-0 to Spain in its
last group game on Sunday
and thus crashed out of the
Confederations Cup in
Brazil.
SR Sports learned that the
manager has already
started a post mortem. He
is quoted as saying that
despite the confidence he
had expressed about
suitable replacements for
his injured players, it
turned out that injuries
actually determined the
fate of the Super Eagles at
the tournament.
“I can’t imagine that my
top striker Emmanuel
Emenike will miss some of
the goals that we missed
and even Ogenyi Onazi was
sorely missed,” a source
quoted him as saying,
“Victor Moses would have
ruined any team here and
of course several other
players that should have
been here could not make
it due to injuries. Among
them, United States-based
Bright Dike.”
Appealing to Nigerians to
forgive the team for the
less-than-average
performance at the
tournament, Keshi is
looking forward to the
World Cup, also in Brazil, in
2014. “We want to come
back here next year and
make an impact. This is a
dress rehearsal and I can
assure that the Super
Eagles will be among the
top nations when the Brazil
2014 World Cup starts.”
Keshi is further said to
have spoken about “fresh
options” for the national
team when the team
assembles for the final
World Cup group qualifing
match against Malawi in
September, but did not
specify what those options
are.
On his next challenge,
Keshi is preparing to work
to ensure that Nigeria
qualifies for the African
Nations championships
meant for players playing in
local African leagues
(CHAN).
“We would go back home
take a few days rest and
prepare for our CHAN
qualifiers against Cote
d’Ivoire in the coming days
and hopefully we should be
able to make it through,”
he said.http://mobile.saharareporters.com/sports-page/keshi-humbled-confed-cup-exit-promises-stronger-super-eagles

Abandoned patients

BUKOLA ADEBAYO narrates the stories of abandoned patients who now live at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital.

After the school hours every day, most pupils of the University of Lagos Staff School, Akoka,Yaba, rush into the warm embrace of their parents. From there, they are driven to their various homes where various kinds of delicacies are waiting for them.

But for 16-year-old Chinenye Ogbonna, this kind of experience exists only in his dream. He has no parent waiting for him, nor any other relative to take him home. Rather, he returns to his ‘lonely’ room at the Paediatric Ward of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital in Idi-Araba, Lagos. This is not because his dad and mom live there. But the parents, who ought to be his guardian angels, abandoned him at the hospital six years ago.

The motherless boy has, therefore, become a permanent resident of LUTH since he was 10 years old. Ogbonna, who spoke to our correspondent when he returned from school on Monday, said none of his relations had shown up since they left him at the ward in 2007.

Relating the circumstances that led to his becoming a permanent resident of D3 Ward of LUTH, Ogbonna said his maternal grandparents brought him to the children’s clinic after he suffered a fall six years ago.

According to him, he lost his mother when he was four years old and has never met his father. But after his mom’s demise, Ogbonna went to live with his grandparents at a place he says he cannot remember.

Ogbonna, who is fondly called the Captain of the ward by nurses, members of staff and other patients, since he knows every nook and cranny of the clinic better than some of them, said it was the last time he saw his grandfather.

“I lived with my mother before she died and I never knew my father. I was told he never accepted me. So, I lived with my mum’s parents after her death. I remember that I fell down and I could not walk for months. My grandma was trying to care for me at home, but they decided that we should come to LUTH.

“ I came with my grandfather that day. I was admitted into the children’s ward, and he left a bag full of clothes and provisions by my bedside and promised that he would be back the next day, saying he could not sleep over since he was old .

“He held onto me for a long time, cried and left. I waited for him the next day. I did not see him. I expected him or my grandma or my cousin, Austin, who was living with us. But they never came back to check me. The doctors started treating me and feeding me till I was strong enough to walk again. But I could not leave and nobody has come for me till today.”

Why they abandoned me

One of the nurses at the ward told our correspondent that Ogbonna’s grandparents had left a message in the bag of clothing they left beside his sick bed.

She said, “We found a letter in the food and clothes they left behind, written by his grandparents, saying they were tired of bearing the burden alone. They said they had tried for Ogbonna but they could not afford to go on and pleaded with government to take over.”

Ogbonna interrupted at this point, saying he knew why his grandparents might have taken that decision.

“I have a hunchback. This, he added, had caused a lot of agony and shame for his late mother’s family and his estranged father’s.

He noted, “I remember that they did not allow me to play with other children in the area. I hardly came out of the compound because they did not want people to see me. It could have been the reason why they did that.”

After all efforts by social workers to trace his family yielded no result, the management of the hospital, nurses, medical students, patients in the ward and philanthropic Nigerians started taking care of him.

He said,” After I started walking. I had a lesson teacher and a nurse who used to come and teach me. Gradually, I began to read and write. Then I started primary school and I will soon be through. Since I have been living here, the hospital, nurses and patients have showed me love. They feed and clothe me. They are even the ones responsible for my schooling.”

But Ogbonna, who wants to be an engineer in future, still has not given up on the hope that he can be reconciled with his family.

He said, “I will like to have a family, so, I can say this is my father or uncle. I am okay here, but I would want to live in a proper home, not in a hospital ward. Wherever my relatives are, they should please come for me.”

Ogbonna is, however, not the only child in such a situation. There are others who are abandoned in the hospital by poor parents. Chindinma Sunday is one of them. His parents left him at the children emergency ward of the hospital 20 years ago, when he was just three years old.

The young man, who moves around with the aid of a wheelchair, is also very popular among the doctors, nurses and members of staff of LUTH. Sunday, who took our correspondent to his corner at the B Ward, said his life had been full of pains and joy since his parents left him at the hospital.

He said, “I was told I was left here in 1993. I had an injury on my leg and I could not walk and that is all I remember. I have not seen anybody since I came in here. This is the only home I have known in the last 20 years.”

One of the matrons in the ward, who tried to narrate how he was dumped in the hospital, said Sunday’s mother also left a note with the food items she left with him.

She said, “His mother had brought him to the children’s ward for treatment for his leg. That day, we saw a child, all alone, crying and a note beside him, saying we should take care of him. They left a paper bearing his name on him. They said they did not have the money to pay for his upkeep, so we should assist them.”

Waiting for admission

He has since completed his primary education at the UNILAG Staff School and the Atunda-Olu School for the Physically Challenged, Lagos. He has also completed his secondary education at the Friends of the Disabled Educational Vocational Centre, Lagos Island.

But his present challenge is how to scale the admission hurdle to the university.

“Honestly, it has not been easy. I have written the UTME twice, but I’m yet to gain admission. I’m looking at YABATECH this year, but I need sponsorship. I learnt shoe making while I was in school and that is what I do now to survive.

“It has been God, the nurses, my school mates and the medical students that have been there for me. The hospital has been feeding me and has provided accommodation for me since I was three. If not for that, I would be out on the streets. Kind Nigerians also donate to my welfare from time to time,” he said.

Sunday noted that everyday he prays and waits for the opportunity to meet his biological parents for them to answer some of his questions.

He added that though he had nursed some bitterness towards his family while growing up, he was ready to leave the past behind and move on if they would accept him.

“I want a better life, I want to know so many things I do not know about myself, like my state, my origin, and if I have siblings. I have no clue as to who I am, really; all I know is my name. Most importantly, I want to know why they abandoned me.

“I’m ready to forgive them so I can have a family again. I’m praying that one day, a miracle will happen, they will come,” Sunday said.

He also called on government to provide educational and infrastructural support for physically challenged persons so that they could lead normal lives and not constitute a burden to the society.

He said, “I had to leave my first school in primary three for another because the classrooms were on a two-storey building, which I found difficult to climb. It has not been easy moving around when I’m outside the hospital.

“By providing structures that support our livelihood, government and other stakeholders would be saying we are all equal. But when you don’t, then there is going to be discrimination. We should be able to learn, live and work with others in the society. They should also provide welfare facilities for the physically challenged who desire education.”

Abodunrin: Born in a festive season

However, two other abandoned children at LUTH, Samuel and Abodunrin, would need a miracle for them to live normally. They are paraplegic.

The paediatric ward of the hospital has been their home in the last seven years.

They are living with cerebral palsy, which means they cannot walk or talk. They require assistance to eat, bathe and walk for the better part of their lives.

The Chief Medical Social Worker at the hospital, Mrs. Kehinde Aikomo, who has been supervising the welfare of these mentally-challenged children, told our correspondent that if not for the hospital and efforts of well meaning Nigerians, Samuel and Abodunrin would have died.

Aikomo said the two were abandoned at the hospital in 2007 with no letter after they were treated.

“Samuel was abandoned at the children’s clinic in 2006 by his mother. She left him with another mother, saying she was going to buy drugs and begged the patient to help her watch over him. She never came back.

“We also found Abodunrin at the emergency ward with clothes beside her and no note. Her parents brought her as an emergency and said they were going to the bank. They did not come back. We named her Abodunrin because she came during the festive period. Sometimes, when parents do not leave a note, we name the child after the season, such as Valentine or something else.”

Aikomo said it was often difficult to trace the roots of abandoned children with neurological disorders like Samuel and Abodunrin, as most families do not want to associate with disabled children.

She said, “We find many of these abandoned patients in labour wards. The mothers, after delivery, quietly walked out of the hospital, leaving their babies behind. They do this because they cannot afford the bills or because the babies have severe disabilities.

“They leave them, believing it’s a public hospital, government will take care of them. We treat the children, take charge of their welfare and also try to reconcile them with their families, but it is difficult in cases of children, as many were left here at a very young age. So, it’s almost impossible for them to remember where they came from.”

It is not just children that are abandoned in the hospital; some accidents victims also suffer similar fate. Tunrayo Adedokun is one of them. She was rushed in by good Samaritans after she was involved in a road accident to the A&E unit of the hospital last year.

Adedokun, who lives at the female ward of the hospital, generally keeps to herself.

When our correspondent visited her on Wednesday morning, the nurses were cajoling her to have her breakfast. One of the nurses said she also suffered severe injuries to the head, which may have affected her memory.

Aikomo said, “After she got better, we tried to trace her background. We found a passbook on her with a name different from the one she gave us. We went to her bank, they gave us addresses she left as referees and we even saw her picture. It stated that she’s a nurse.

“We visited the addresses but nobody knows her. She’s always shouting ‘Adewale, my husband’, but how do we trace that? It seems she did not exist except for the information in the bank account.”

Aikomo said the hospital had also tried to place these abandoned patients in homes, but they were often turned down.

“ We have written to the state government to help us place them in orphanages, old people’s homes and rehabilitation centres, but they keep saying they do not have space; but we will keep trying or their relatives can come for them.”

Their parents should come for them – LUTH CMD

Meanwhile, the Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Prof. Akin Oshibogun, said LUTH usually made provisions for these abandoned patients’ welfare through an indigent fund.

Oshibogun said, “Good Samaritans rush patients involved in accidents here and we must not reject them or abandon them. We treat them, hoping the relatives will come for them; but when they don’t, we provide relief through the Friends of the Needy Fund. Wealthy Nigerians also donate to this fund from time to time. That is what we use to care for them till they find their families.

“I remember Azeez. He came in as a renal patient. He was also abandoned. He was taken to Germany for surgery. He stayed here for almost 10 years before his parents later showed up for him. He is living well now. We have them from time to time.”

Oshibogun, however, said the hospitals management could not afford to keep these patients for life. He, therefore, called on well meaning Nigerians to come and adopt the children especially.

He noted that in order to encourage families not to abandon their loved ones in hospitals when they had health challenges, Nigerians must embrace the health insurance policy.

“Very few people can afford to pay the full cost of care for handicap or some complex surgeries. On the long run, Nigerians must take health insurance more seriously; that is the way they can be secured in any case of unforeseen health challenges.

“We are also calling on the relations to come forward and claim them. We have stabilised them. They cannot even pay the bill of a patient we have been taking care of for 10 years. They should come and claim them or adopt them to give them a chance at life,” Oshibogun addedhttp://www.punchng.com/feature/moving-stories-of-luths-abandoned-patients/

Nigeria’s military banned the use of Thuraya satellite phones on Wednesday in Borno State; a step it said was designed to stop communication by Islamist militants.

President Goodluck Jonathan had declared a state of emergency in Borno and two other states on May 14, ordering extra troops in to crush the Islamist sect, Boko Haram, whose insurgency against the state has killed thousands of people in the past three years.

Authorities had cut the mobile network in Borno State in the same week to disrupt Boko Haram’s operations.

Borno State military spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa, was quoted by Reuters as saying that the ban was imposed after evidence emerged that Boko Haram used satellite phones to coordinate attacks on civilians, including attack on two schools in the past week.

Suspected Islamist militants fired into a school in Maiduguri on Tuesday, killing nine students. The attack followed one in the city of Damaturu, Yobe State, also under a state of emergency, in which seven pupils and two teachers were killed.

“Effective from June 19, 2013, the Joint Task Force imposes a ban on the use and sale of Thuraya phones and accessories,” Musa said in a statement, adding, “Anyone seen with Thuraya phones, recharge cards and accessories will be arrested.”

The move will make it even more difficult for journalists to report from the conflict zone, something press freedom groups say Nigeria’s military has been trying to do anyway.

Nigerian forces say their offensive has enabled them to wrest back control of the remote northeast from Boko Haram. They say they have destroyed important bases and arrested more than 150 suspected insurgents.

But critics take the latest attacks as evidence that Boko Haram will prove almost impossible to stamp out using pure military means, since they inhabit a vast, semi-desert area with porous borders with Chad, Cameroon and Niger.

Stakeholders in the telecoms industry, however, say the ban on telephones and telecoms accessories as well as recharge cards, threatens the projected revenue of telecoms firms in the country.

The development, it is believed, may cut the North off from the planned investments by the operators on their networks across the country.http://www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/bharam-jtf-bans-thuraya-phones-in-borno/

Former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu

Former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu

The Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police has declared a former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu, wanted for allegedly defrauding a land buyer of N130m.

The SFU alleged in a statement on Wednesday that the suspect and her son, Samson, obtained money from the victim by false representation.

The Commissioner of Police for the command, Tunde Ogunsakin, said, “The victim alleged that in September 2011, the suspects conspired and sold a parcel of land at Plot 24 Block 4 situated at Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos for N130m which he paid into the first suspect’s account with the Union Bank of Nigeria Plc.

“He further stated that after payment, he requested title document and Alhaja Ojikutu procured an affidavit of support to back her fraudulent claim, a police crime extract and a publication in a newspaper all purporting to loss of the original documents of title to the land. The victim believed her because of her personality as the former Deputy Governor of Lagos State.

“The bubble burst when the victim commenced development of the land and was on the verge of completion when the bona fide owner of the land surfaced and indeed it was discovered that the land the suspect sold did not belong to her. She actually sold Plot 23 Block 4 while Plot 24 Block 4 already has a property on it.”

According to police investigation, the land Ojikutu sold, did not belong to her, but to one Mr. Afolabi. It was also discovered that the Plot 24 Block 4, which actually belonged to Alhaja Ojikutu’s late husband, Samson Ojikutu (senior), was sold by him in 1995 and the suspect was a life witness and appended her signature to the sale of the land.

Ogunsakin said the suspect further perpetrated the crime by alleging that the original Certificate of Occupancy to the property was missing and swore an affidavit which enabled her to obtain a police report and memorandum of loss. She also put up an advert in newspapers that the original C of O was lost, whereas the original C of O was with the Hallmark Homes, the buyer of the property.

He said, “The suspect, who is a 67-year-old retiree from Lagos Island, allegedly connived with her son, Samson, who is currently in the United States to commit the fraud. The suspect and her son were parties to the sale of the land and both signed the agreement given to the complainant and obtained the sum of N130m from him.

“She admitted committing the crime but confessed that it was a genuine mistake of plot identification. She refunded the sum of N50m to the complainant and promised to refund the balance as soon as she disposed of her two properties she put up for sale. She also confessed that she had invested the victim’s money in her business.

“She equally made an undertaking and payment plan which was drawn from September, 2012 and was to terminate by November 2012, but she defaulted.”

Ogunsakin stated that the suspect was not willing to abide by the terms of payment and had jumped bail. He added that all attempts to contact her had proved abortive.

“The SFU declares Alhaja Ojikutu wanted. Anybody with useful information regarding her whereabouts should report to the Commissioner of Police, Special Fraud Unit, 13 Milverton Road, Ikoyi,” he saidhttp://www.punchng.com/news/police-declare-ex-deputy-gov-wanted-for-fraud/

Neurological doctors
treating Governor Danbaba
Suntai of Taraba State in
the United States have told
his family and the state
government footing his
medical bills the governor
cannot return to normal
state of mental health that
would enable him to
function as a governor.
Mr. Suntai first received
treatment at the famous
John Hopkins University
Hospital in Baltimore,
Maryland, before moving to
a rehabilitation center in
upstate New York, both of
which have reportedly given
up on the chances of full
recovery of Mr. Suntai. In
October 2012, he survived
an aircrash near Yola
Airport and was flown to
Germany for treatment for
brain injuries.
A medical source told
SaharaReporters that when
Mr. Suntai was brought in
from Germany, he had
swelling in his brain and
had lost significant control
of his ability to recognize
people or speak coherently.
The source also described
the governor as drooling
like a baby.
After several months of
treatment in the US the
doctors have now told Mr.
Suntai's family and the
deputy governor of Taraba
State who came visiting two
weeks ago that Mr. Suntai
be sent home to manage
his condition as there is
nothing more that can be
done to heal him.
The State government has
spent close to $3.5 million
on Mr. Suntai’s treatment
in the US alone.
At a meeting with his
Deputy two weeks ago, Mr.
Suntai was seen in
photographs laughing out
loud, but our medical
sources said he repeats
anything told to him
several times until he is
told to stop.
A clip of Mr. Suntai
meeting with his deputy
was shown on the Nigerian
Television Authority
network, with the sound
curiously muted.
Mr. Suntai's wife and a few
political office holders,
including the Commissioner
of Information, Emmanuel
Bello, are reportedly
manipulating the media by
claiming that Suntai has
fully recovered and is on
his way to resuming power
as governor. He has been
seen in photos that appear
to be stage-managed for
brief moments to show the
ailing governor as though
fully healed, but nobody
has heard him speak or
answer any questions.
Mr. Suntai, a trained pilot,
was personally flying the
aircraft in which he was
injured.http://mobile.saharareporters.com/news-page/us-doctors-tell-gov-suntais-family-he-cant-function-normal-person

PDP To Fire Chairman Tukur And NWC Members

On a day in which he ate his words and recalled a governor he suspended only days ago, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman Bamanga Tukur may learn he is himself to be consumed by the rampaging beast.

A source told SaharaRreporters that a high-powered committee, led by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Anyim Pius Anyim, set up to look into the crisis in the party, has recommended that Alhaji Tukur and all National Working Committee (NWC) members should resign their positions on Thursday.

The NWC consists of Tukur, spokesman Olisa Metuh, others handpicked by President Goodluck Jonathan.

The Anyim committee comprises of Special Adviser on Political Matters to the President, Mr. Ahmed Gulak, Governor of Akwa Ibom State Goodwill Akpabio, Katsina State Governor Ibrahim Shema , Benue State Governor, Abia State Governor Theodore Ahamefule Orji and other Jonathan loyalists.

Earlier today, Mr. Tukur announced a meeting of the NWC for that day.

SaharaReporters learned that the Anyim committee met for six hours at the Legacy House headquarters of the party and resolved that members of the NWC, including Mr. Tukur, should resign in order to save face, having reached the conclusion that Tukur has run the PDP into the ground.

As of the time of this report all the members have moved to the Aso Rock villa to meet with President Jonathan to determine whether their removals will be finalized.

The source also said that Chairman Tukur might be replaced with former governor of Bauchi state, Alhaji Muazu, or Shehu Babayo, a politician also from Bauchi State.

Thank you faithful father.

A teenage girl chopped her father’s
head clean off with a bush knife
after he raped her in their home in
the highlands of Papua New Guinea.
Now residents of the village have
formed a protective ring around the
18-year-old, refusing to hand her
over to the police because they
agreed her ‘evil’ father deserved to
die.
A local church leader, Pastor Lucas
Kumi from the village of Rang in the
Western Highlands, said the entire
community would refuse to allow the
girl to be subjected to any official
investigation.
Protective ring: Villagers in the
remote western highlands of Papua
New Guinea say they will not let
police talk to the 18 year old rape
victim
‘The people and leaders in our area
went and saw the headless body of
the father after the girl reported the
incident to them and explained why
she had killed her father,’ said
Pastor Kumi.
He told the Post Courier newspaper
that the father, in his mid-40s,
raped his daughter when they were
alone in their house after the
mother and two other children from
the family went to visit relatives for
the night.
‘The father went to his daughter’s
room in the night and raped her
repeatedly.
‘The father wanted to rape his
daughter again in the morning and
that was when the young girl picked
up the bush knife and chopped her
father’s head off,’ said Pastor Kumi.
‘We’ve all agreed that she is free to
stay in the community because the
father deserved to die.
‘The daughter did what she did
because of the trauma and the evil
actions of her father, so that is why
we have all agreed that she remains
in the community.’
He said a ring of protection had
been placed around the girl, who
will be kept away from any official
investigation.
Death penalty: the government of
Papua New Guinea has brought back
the death penalty in order to combat
serious crimes
‘The community have also agreed not
to conduct any formal burial service
for the father.’
Crimes of rape, murder, suspected
witch killings and prostitution are
rife throughout Papua New Guinea
and as a desperate attempt to stop
the lawlessness the government
recently re-introduced the death
penalty for serious offences.
But at the weekend the Post Courier
reported the results of an
investigation into child prostitution,
a report, it said, that will ‘make you
