| It’s official: Tinubu unveils Shettima as running mate Posted:
Amidst the controversy surrounding the Tinubu-Shettima alliance in the forthcoming election, the presidential flagbearer of the APC on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, officially unveiled Kashim Shettima as his running mate. Ever since Tinubu announced the former Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima as his running mate, there have different reactions from different parts of the country. The party has been pressured to change Shettima since he is of the same religious faith as Tinubu. However, the official unveiling today showed that the former Lagos State Governor was not listening to the complainants of Nigerians. This official unveiling is coming in barely two weeks after the lawmaker was selected as vice-presidential candidate. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, alongside other APC loyalists, including the party's National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, officially unveiled Shettima at the Shehu Musa Yar'Adua Centre in Abuja on Wednesday.

| Twitter-Musk legal battle: Trial will commence in October - Court Posted:
As earlier reported that Elon Musk appealed to the court that the date of the Twitter trial be pushed to February, while Twitter insisted on an early trial; the case was held Tuesday to decide the trial date. After the trial on Tuesday at a Delaware court, the court ruled in favour of Twitter. The court held that the trial date for the lawsuit will now be in October. The ruling is a win for Twitter, who had requested a shorter timeframe because the acquisition was billed for 24 October 2022; hence an earlier date would favour the agreement. Today, a Delaware court ruled that Twitter's lawsuit against Elon Musk for attempting to back out of his acquisition of the company will be held in October. This is a win for Twitter, which asked for a shorter timeframe than Musk. Earlier, we reported that Musk had an agreement to acquire Twitter for $44 billion in April but decided to back out of the deal. According to him, Twitter had too many bots that informed his decision to pull the plug on the deal. However, he had the right to do his "due diligence" or research the micro-blogging company properly before agreeing to buy, but he was set to have waived the right. Trying to terminate the acquisition agreement led Twitter to respond with a lawsuit to prevent him from backing out of the contract. While having an oral argument before the judge, Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, Twitter held that Musk's bot arguments were bad-faith attempts to release himself from the deal due to an acute case of buyer's remorse. Twitter initially requested that the trial date should be in September, but Musk demanded February. Twitter requested a shorter and speedy trial, while Musk favoured a longer one. However, from the ruling, it will be a five-day trial that is shorter than Musk's request and longer than Twitter's. Meanwhile, the exact dates are yet to be set; whether it would come before the 24 October takeover or after is a matter to be decided later. At the court yesterday, Twitter's counsel said Musk's conduct was "inexcusable." Musk has held up an employee retention plan and is engaging in "needless value destruction." In response, Musk's lawyers suggested that Twitter was deceiving Musk with bot data. However, both legal counsels agreed that Musk's team had run millions of queries on Twitter's firehose, a real-time feed of Tweets as they are sent. Regarding the Twitter lawsuit, Musk's lawyers revealed that The New York Times got a copy of it before they did. After the court resumed after a 10-minute recess, McCormick said delaying the trial further would cause more hard on Twitter than envisaged. Hence, to avoid such, she set a date for October, which is not too late for Twitter for all they needed to do. She added that she was full of confidence that both legal teams would deliver as expected at the October trial. #Twitter #Elon Musk Twitter #Lawsuit | ||||
| Caught in the act: Doctor raping a pregnant woman during C-section [VIDEO] Posted:
A Brazilian doctor who was caught assaulting a sedated pregnant woman while under the knife during C-section has been arrested. The man was recorded performing the act on the sedated woman while undergoing C-section. A report from UK Sun has it that the anaesthetist Giovanni Quintella Bezerra has been arrested for "rape." He was seen in the secret video sticking his penis into the mouth of the unconscious patient. It was reported that he had heavily sedated the woman at the Hospital da Mulher in São João de Meriti, Rio de Janeiro. The video is currently trending on social media, and Giovanni could be seen undoing his manhood and pushing it into the pregnant woman's mouth as other doctors performed the C-section on her less than a meter away behind a surgical curtain. According to the news, other doctors at the hospital worried about the number of drugs Giovanni administered to the woman; hence they became suspicious and hid a secret camera in the operating room.
The police and other state authorities are currently investigating the anaesthetist to determine whether there are other victims who had suffered the same fate. Further information revealed that Giovanni barely only completed his medical training in anaesthesia two months before the event. The health foundation of the state of Rio de Janeiro and the secretary of state health reacted to the development saying: "We inform you that an internal investigation will be opened to take administrative measures. "The Hospital da Mulher team is providing full support to the victim and her family. This behaviour constitutes a crime, which must be punished in accordance with the legislation in force." #rape #Sexual assault #pregnant woman | ||||
| Terrorism: Abducted CAN Chairman, Rev. Fr. John Cheitnum killed by his abductors Posted:
The CAN Chairman, Rev. Fr. John Cheitnum, who was abducted on Friday by unknown assailants, has been reportedly killed. This was stated on Tuesday by Rev. John Hayab, the Chairman of the association. It was reported that Rev. Fr. John Cheitnum and Rev. Fr. Donatus Cleopas were kidnapped on Friday. However, Rev. Fr. Cleopas was reported to have escaped from the terrorists' camp, leaving Cheitnum. However, according to Hayab, Rev. Fr. Cheitnum was killed the day he was abducted. He said, "Clerics have become endangered species in the hands of terrorists in Kaduna State. "I cannot vividly give details of what transpired, but Reverend Father Cheitnum has been one of our strong voices and they know him." He explained that priests and Christian leaders are now targeted by terrorists. "The terrorists are out to silence and weaken us to a level we cannot dare say anything," Hayab added. As at the time our source, PUNCH, was filing this report, there has not been any response to the calls put through to the spokesperson for the Kaduna State Police Command, Mohammed Jalige. The deceased priest would be buried on Thursday, according to the statement on Tuesday by the Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan. #Terrorists #attacks #CAN | ||||
| ASUU strike: We can call it off in two days if… – Prof. Osodeke Posted:
The president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, declared that resolving ASUU's ongoing strike will not take two weeks but less than two days. Recall that the current ASUU strike entered day 155 on Tuesday, as we reported, which has kept public universities shut ever since. However, the striking lecturers have kept the resolve to keep pressing for their demands until FG answers them. As reported on Tuesday, the Nigerian president, President Muhammadu Buhari, ordered the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, to resolve the ASUU crisis within two weeks and revert with feedback. Meanwhile, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke reacted to Mr. President's comments by saying that the two-week ultimatum was "too long," adding that the union can suspend the strike in less than two days provided the FG honours its agreement with ASUU. "Two weeks is too long. The issue of renegotiation has been completed by both sides, which means that one is gone. "They should just come back to us and say 'we have agreed, sign it'. That should not take two days," Osodeke said. #ASUU strike #FG #Buhari | ||||
| Osun’s defeat doesn’t mean we will lose the general election - APC Chair, Adamu. Posted:
He blamed the crisis rocking the party as the reason it lost the election and not that it was incapable of winning. Speaking to BBC Hausa on Tuesday, Adamu revealed this. He said that life has a tradition that one way or the other, people lose something that one needed and added that APC accepted the defeat in good faith and took lessons from it. He added, "Osun defeat doesn't in any way mean that we will lose at the general election. We only lost one state out of the 22 we have; you see, we are still strong. #Adamu #apc #Osun poll |
