Kim K and Kanye Robbed Again, Can't Catch A Break!

Image
How could this happen again!? The Kardashian-West family just can’t catch a break — at least when it comes to people trying to steal their stuff. After suffering a harrowing multi-million dollar violent robbery in Paris last year,  Kim Kardashian  has again become the target of criminals who wanted to make a huge pay off. However, these particular criminals weren’t quite as smart or brazen as her past attackers. They just wanted to check out what she was hiding in the driveway. Kim K and  Kanye West  got their cars burglarized at their Bel Air home, and they weren’t the only targets.

Taliban more 'honest' than US Army, Deserter Bergdahl says

Bowe Bergdahl, the U.S. Army sergeant who pleaded guilty Monday to deserting his post in Afghanistan in 2009, says his Taliban captors were more “honest” with him than the Army has been since his release three years ago. “At least the Taliban were honest enough to say, ‘I’m the guy who’s gonna cut your throat,’ ” Bergdahl tells British TV journalist Sean Langan in  an interview  with the Sunday Times Magazine of London headlined "The Homecoming from Hell." Langan, too, is a former Taliban hostage. Bergdahl, 31, from Hailey, Idaho, says he never quite knew where he stood with the Army as he performed “administrative duties” while awaiting his desertion trial. “Here, it could be the guy I pass in the corridor who’s going to sign the paper that sends me away for life,’’ he says. “We may as well go back to kangaroo courts and lynch mobs.” Bergdahl is expected to appear for sentencing Monday in a military courtroom in Fort Bragg, N.C., after pleading guilty to d

WHO - Flooding contributed to monkeypox

The Delta State Coordinator of the World Health Organisation, Dr Bassey Bassey, has said flooding in some parts of the country may have contributed to the monkeypox outbreak. Bassey said this in Abuja on Thursday at a one-day colloquium organised by the Association of Medical Scientists of Nigeria, FCT branch. Speaking on the theme, ‘Perennial flooding in Nigeria: Communicable diseases and looming antimicrobial resistance’, the WHO coordinator said floodwater was a major source of infectious communicable diseases because animals defecate in floodwater, which humans come in contact with. Bassey, who was represented by Dr Casmir Ifeanyi, said, “Flooding is known to facilitate infectious disease transmission. It is no longer in doubt. Therefore, that will expose affected communities to outbreak of epidemics, zootomic and other epizootic effects such as cholera and of course we have had reported cases of cholera this year. “Until proved otherwise, I think that flooding has a

Lagos State Government on Thursday re-arraigned alleged kidnap kingpin, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, alias Evans, and five others before a Lagos State High Court in Ikeja. The re-arraignment of the defendants followed the amendment to the two charges, bordering on conspiracy and kidnapping, pressed against them by the state. Although Evans and his co-defendants had earlier pleaded guilty to the charges when they were first arraigned on August 30, they changed their plea, denying the allegations upon their re-arraignment on Thursday. Standing trial alongside Evans are Uche Amadi, Okwuchukwu Nwachukwu, Chilaka Ifeanyi, Victor Aduba and  a woman  Ogechi Uchechukwu.  When the matter came up before Justice Hakeem Oshodi, the state prosecuting team, led by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Titilayo Shitta-Bey, told the court that the amended information only affected the law and punishment under which second charge was filed.
