An American mother-of-three wanted in the US for the murder of two of her children, has been arrested in the UK after she fled 5,000 miles to Britain.     According to Mail Online, Kimberlee Singler, 35, was last seen in Colorado Springs on December 23, after she allegedly killed nine-year-old daughter Elianna and seven-year-old Aden Wentz just before Christmas.   She had been in a long legal battle with her ex-husband Kevin Wentz over the custody of their three children.     Police were called to her apartment in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains on December 19 to reports of a burglary.

Plateau killings is beyond herder-farmer clashes, murderers want to take over Nigeria — Kukah

Image
Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Mathew Kukah has said that the killings in Plateau state are beyond herder-farmer clashes as murderers “want their own kind of Nigeria according to their ideology”.   Kukah who was commenting on the attack which claimed over 200 lives with hundreds of houses and farmlands burnt in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of the Plateau State on Christmas eve, urged the federal government to resist the agenda of the marauders and protect Nigerians. He described the attackers as “sons of Satan” who “opted to extinguish and snatch the light of the joy of Christmas from thousands of people on the Plateau”.   Kukah said;    “There is a method to this madness. The choice of location, communities, timings, the seeming hooded identities of the killers mask a fact: we may not know who they are, but someone wants something from the Middle Belt. Stretch your imagination from the emergence of the modern Nigerian state and connect the...

South Africa has filed an application at the International Court of Justice to begin proceedings over allegations of genocide against Israel for its war against Hamas in Gaza, the ICJ said. Over 21,507 people have been killed in Gaza since October 7, according to the enclave’s Hamas-controlled Health Ministry. Among the dead are at least 308 people who were sheltering in United Nations shelters, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees. Israel’s aerial bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza, in response to Hamas’ deadly terror attacks and kidnapping rampage on October 7, have caused widespread devastation in the densely-inhabited coastal strip, prompting outcry from the UN and the international community. South Africa accuses Israel of being “in violation of its obligations under the Genocide Convention” in its application and argues that “acts and omissions by Israel … are genocidal in character, as they are committed with the req...
