Photos: Nigerian drug lord sentenced to 27 years in Cambodia loses appeal today

A Cambodian Court of Appeals on Tuesday, December 6th, upheld the sentence of a Nigerian drug trafficking convict. Precious Chineme Nwoko (pictured in court today) was sentenced to 27 years imprisonment in Cambodia in 2014...

The court upheld his prison term, ruling that it was appropriate and in accordance with Cambodian law...

Khieu Vann, the lawyer for Taylor, told reporters that the appeals court’s decision was an injustice and that he would consult with his client to see if she wished to appeal to the Supreme Court. Asked today by journalists why he used dating scams to turn women into drug mules, Nwoko became enraged, according to a report by Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald "Are you stupid? Get out of here.

You think you can come here and ask questions while I am jail," he shouted at Luke McMahon, a Melbourne writer who has revealed Taylor’s plight in an exclusive story for Fairfax Media. Nwoko, a ringleader in a heroin smuggling cartel in Cambodia was arrested for handing a backpack containing 2.2 kilos (4.8 pounds) of heroin to two women, 41-year-old Australian Yoshe Ann Taylor and 19 year old French Charlene Savarino, for onward transportation to an unidentified man in Australia.

Both women were however arrested in 2013 at Phnom Penh International Airport. Judge Kor Vandy at Phnom Penh Municipal Court who presided over their case said Nwoko and the two women were guilty of ‘cross-border smuggling of illegal drugs and thereafter sentenced Nwoko’s 19year old girlfriend Savarino to 25 years in jail, while 41 year old Taylor was handed 23 years. They all denied the drug belonged to them.

NYSC attributes death of Kano corp member, Ifedolapo Oladepo, to untreated infection

Authorities of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, have attributed the death of Late Ifedolapo Oladepo, a corp member of the 2016 Batch ‘B’, who died at the National Youth Service Corps orientation camp in Kano, to an untreated renal sepsis infection. This is according to investigations carried out by a panel of Inquiry set up to look into the cause of her death.

The panel's report was presented today by the Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung and Director General of the NYSC, Brig-General Suleiman Kazaure, in Abuja. Ifedapo's death which occurred on November 29th, made headline news following allegations that she died due to negligence from the medical team in the camp.

Speaking to newsmen at the presentation of the report by the investigation panel, Kazaure attributed Ifedolapo’s death to her “refusal to disclose an ailment she had been battling with before resuming to camp.” “It is clear that the deceased had an ailment which she did not disclose.

From the doctors’ report, the corps member died of renal sepsis occasioned by infection. Even, to the untrained, kidney infections do not develop and degenerate to the level of mortality in three days (i.e 7th to 29th November, 2016). The deceased first appeared at the camp clinic with complaints of headache and fever, which she said she had been experiencing for two days. On examination, the doctors on duty noticed rashes on her legs, which she claimed started appearing as a result of her use of a second-hand knickers she bought without first washing it.

Doctors noticed increase in the rashes on her legs, the deceased still dismissed it as a reaction to usage of a second-hand knicker. By this time, she had been vomiting. Therefore, she was admitted at the camp clinic and treated with Drazamol injection and Piriton to soothe her body pains as she was already on malaria drugs.”‎ ‎‎According to Kazaure, after her case degenerated, she was immediately referred to Gwarzo General Hospital for further treatment, where, after examination, “the doctor concluded that the deceased had kidney infection probably due to untreated urinary tract infection.”

“The investigation showed that the deceased responded well until about 2:00am on 29th November when her condition worsened, and her body began to show noticeable signs of fluid retention. She was thereafter placed on oxygen as the doctors battled to stabilise her for the long journey to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital

Photos: Passengers escape death as fire consumes Young Shall Grow Luxurious along Awka-Onitsha expressway

A luxurious bus belonging to the Young Shall Grow Transport Company headed to Yobe State from Onitsha, was burnt beyond recognition at the Akuzu end of the Awka-Onitsha expressway on Monday, December 5th.

Fortunately, no life was lost, as the passengers escaped through the windows. However, all attempts to rescue the goods aboard the vehicle proved abortive as the vehicle was reportedly carrying some gas cylinders.

The unit commander, Federal Road Safety Corps, Mr. Justin Bosah, who confirmed the incident, said the situation could not be controlled because the vehicle had no fire extinguisher. He urged drivers to always carry fire extinguishers.

One of the passengers who, spoke to AbsRadio said they alerted the driver when they saw smoke emanating from the back of the vehicle but he did not take it serious.

A Nigerian soldier, Nonso, who was on his way to Maiduguri, Borno State took to Instagram to recount how he survived by jumping out through the window of the car. 

"Thank God for saving me.young shall grow vehicle I boarded to Maiduguri got caught up with fire and burnt into ashes .I had to jump from the window to a safe place.

Thank God nobody died.#GodoverEverything"

Mother and daughter killed at a pedestrian crossing by driver who ignored traffic light

A lorry driver, Neville Fletcher, ignored a red light at a pedestrian crossing, leading to the death of a mother-of-two and her daughter. A CCTV camera on the street captured Mr. Fletcher as he ran into 43-year-old Zena Jackson and her six-year-old daughter, Cidalia, near Stanley Street in Spring Bank, Hull, UK.

When Fletcher arrived before the Hull Magistrate Court, the presiding Judge, Jeremy Richardson QC, said that no sentence imposed on the offender can make up for the loss the family has suffered. Fletcher’s lawyer pleaded on his client’s behalf saying that he has been a decent man all his life and that Fletcher does not understand how he ran the red light. The 55-year-old is said to be both devastated and remorseful.

Speaking about her mother, Sadie, the surviving child of the deceased said, "She had a brilliant sense of humour and used to laugh and joke all the time. She was just funny. When you did something bad, she was a real mum, but when you were good, she was like a friend. She loved being a mum, but she was like a kid herself sometimes. I'm going to really miss her."

Sadie also spoke about her sister, Cidalia, in flowery terms, saying; "Cidalia had a great imagination and we only learnt after she died that she had won a writing competition. The story was about a mermaid."

The lorry driver admitted to two counts of causing death by careless driving. He has been jailed for 14 months and banned from driving for five years and seven months.

Video: Live Cockroach pulled out from a woman's ear

A Chinese woman identified as Su, had a cockroach pulled out from her ear after it crawled in while she was sleeping. The woman who reside at Huaihua City's Hecheng District told the doctors that she didn't know the exact moment the cockroach crawled into her ear but that it was still alive and continued to crawl and scratch.

She had earlier tried to remove the insect herself but only made the insect move deeper into her ear every time she reached it with a cotton bud.

When she got to the hospital, the doctors had to spray chemicals in her ear in order to subdue the insect before it could be removed. After few minutes of discomfort, the doctors were finally able to pull out the cockroach from her ear.

Head of the hospital’s Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) department, Meng Jie said: "The patient came in complaining of pain in her ear, claiming that an insect had crawled inside it - and that it was still moving. We spotted the cockroach deep in her ear canal - its legs were still moving - and pulled it out after giving [the patient] some local anaesthetics."

He also advised homeowners to avoid placing snacks or other foods on their bedside tables, and urged individuals to seek medical attention instead of trying to remove the pests by themselves.

Couple found dead inside a car filled with toxic substances

A young couple was found dead, their lips blue, inside a car in Chelmsford, Essex after neighbours said they heard a loud bang which sounded like a can exploding.

 23-year-old Nikki Willis, who works for CeX and Tom Putt, who is believed to be her boyfriend, were seen by neighbours just moments earlier chatting in a car parked outside Miss Willis’ house, while the engine was running.

Police said they discovered a ‘noxious substance’ in the car, but their death is still being treated as ‘unexplained’. According to a police spokesperson, 

'Their deaths are being treated as unexplained at this time. Enquiries are ongoing into the circumstances surrounding their deaths and police remain at the scene.' 

Meanwhile, friends and relatives of the couple have taken to Facebook to mourn their deaths.  Claire Watts, a cousin of Miss Willis wrote;

 "My beautiful baby cousin. There are no words to describe how I'm feeling right now. I still can't believe you have been taken from us – it's a bitter reminder of how cruel life can be. I will never forget you."
