Scores Killed In Deadly Stampede in Mecca!

Atleast over 700 pilgrims were reportedly killed and scores injured in a stampede considered the deadliest disaster at the 2015 Hajj, since the 1990 tragedy that claimed more than 1,400 lives after panic broke out among crowds inside a tunnel.

The stampede happened on Thursday, September 24, when two large groups of pilgrims who were preparing for one of the last major rites of their trip met on a major intersection, outside in the Mina valley, a few miles outside Mecca, where a camp of 160,000 tents fills with millions of visitors.

Rescue workers raced to the scene to offer first aid and load the most critically injured people into rescue helicopters and hundreds of ambulances.

Burkina Faso - Michel Kafandoback Back In Power!

Michel Kafando, Burkina Faso’s toppled Interim President, is back into power.

At this moment, six ECOWAS Heads of State are arriving Ouagadougou, the capital city, to witness the formal re-installation of Bukina Faso's Interim President, Michel Kafando, and to resolve other vital issues like the amnesty plan for the Putschists, and whether upcoming elections should be open to supporters of previously deposed veteran dictator Blaise Compaoré.

This development came about after marathon talks in the capital of regional and military heavyweight in Nigeria, brokered by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and threats by the French President, Francois Hollande, that the coup leaders should surrender immediately or face the “consequences”, including possible sanctions.

 President Kafando said “The transition has been restored and this very minute I am resuming the exercise of power".

If I Were To Be Just A Senator, I Doubt If Anybody Will Be Interested In The Asset Declaration Form I Filled Over Twelve Years Ago - Saraki!

Nigerian Senate president, Bokola Saraki has appeared before the Code of Conduct Tribunal for failure to fully declare his assets. 

During the hearing, the Senate president lamented before the Tribunal that the only reason while he is being tried is because he is the Senate President.

Last week, the Code Conduct Tribunal Chairman, Justice Danladi Umar, ordered his arrest, following his  refusal to appear before the tribunal on the day he was supposed to.

The tribunal Chairman, ordered Saraki's arrest via a 'bench warrant' despite claims by the Nigerian Police that they are yet to get the warrant, and Saraki's preemptive action, of challenging the jurisdiction of CCT on the hearing, through his counsel.

"I reiterate my belief that the only reason while I am going through this trial is because I am senate president. If I were to be just a senator, I doubt if anybody will be interested in the asset declaration form I filled over twelve years ago". - Bukola Saraki.
