“It shall not be well with the devil and all that brought this staged pandemic to deceive Nigerians.

“If there is nothing that the government is hiding, let them reopen the churches and bring the victims to the house of God.
“I know the God whom I serve, and I strongly believe that He is able to heal all diseases. I took up this Ministry with pure conscience.
“The most painful thing is that there is a division in Christianity. However, does that stop God from answering our prayers? No.
“I can tell you boldly that the true men of God are few, and only God knows His servants.

Abiola Buhari (Vanguard)
A statement which was released by the state’s police command spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, stated that the arrest of the suspect came after a report from the victim who made a complaint at the Adigbe divisional headquarters that while she was selling fried potatoes and beancake at church street area of Ojere, the suspect came to buy the fried potatoes and asked her to come and collect money in his house which isn’t far from her shop.
The victim disclosed that on getting to his house, the suspect forcefully dragged her into his room where he had carnal knowledge of her against her consent, Vanguard reports.
The statement reads,
Upon the report, the DPO Adigbe division, CSP Austin Okpadile, detailed his men to the scene where the suspect was promptly arrested.
On interrogation, the suspect who denied initially, later confessed that he actually raped the girl. He told the police that he has been making advances on the victim for quite some time but she constantly turned him down. He said when he saw her selling fried potatoes that very day, he decided to use that as a bait to get her in bed
Meanwhile, the commissioner of police CP Kenneth Ebrimson who expressed worry about the rate at which young girls are being sexually abused, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to anti-human trafficking and child labour unit of the state criminal investigation and intelligence department for further investigation and diligent prosecution.
A pregnant nurse in New York who contracted COVID-19, delivered her baby girl prematurely and developed a string of medical complications.
The wife and mother of two young children, Sylvia LeRoy after testing positive for the virus, suffered a cardiac arrest at the Mt. Sinai hospital on April 12.
Jessica Jacobs organized a GoFundMe for Sylvia Leroy, a nurse at Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn, New York as her insurance covers only 60 days healthcare. The state will also not pay for her care except she proves which patient she was exposed to.
“After successfully coming off a ventilator 7 days prior. Her premature daughter was delivered at 30 weeks and is in the NICU. The arrest lasted 4 minutes and has left her with anoxic brain injury due to lack of oxygen and presently she’s awake but minimally conscious, not able to respond to sounds, touch or commands,” Jacobs added.
Shirley Licin, Sylvia’s sister, told CNN that she was six months pregnant back in March when she started feeling symptoms. The baby girl, Ester, was born at 30 weeks.
While Sylvia remains in recovery, both Jacobs and Licin have shared that her union insurance only covers “30 days of acute rehab.”
“Sylvia will need significant long-term acute cognitive and physical therapy to help give her a fighting chance for her baby Esther and her 3-year-old toddler Jay,” Jacobs wrote.
Sylvia’s family has been fighting early on to get her the best care possible, from transferring her to Mt. Sinai hospital and $600K has been raised by more than 10,000 people who pitched in to help the nurse fighting for her life.
Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has carried out the threat he gave of demolishing Prodest Hotel at Alode in Eleme Local Government Area of the state.
The governor had marked the hotel and one other, Etemeteh Hotel, Onne for demolition for allegedly flouting his government’s directive on the closure of hotels in the state.
A lot of residents of the state however, felt it was only a threat to make other hoteliers put themselves in order, but were certainly taken aback when a demolition truck arrived at the location of Prodest Hotel at about 11:30am Sunday morning.
As seen in photos that are currently trending on social media, the demolition men were accompanied by the Governor himself and other officials of the Rivers State task force, and the building was eventually brought down.
The Rivers State Governor had declared a total lockdown in two major cities in the state —Obio-Akpor and Port Harcourt City Local Government Areas— in his effort to curb the spread of COVID-19 in Rivers state. Interstate borders, markets, pubs, restaurants and hotels were also closed by the governor.
The demolition of the hotel has caused a stir on social media too as some people feel that the governor’s action was too extreme, stating that he could have fined the hotel. Some others are not necessarily bothered with the governor’s action.
Some reactions below,
Democracy in action in Rivers as Supreme Emperor Nyesom Wike arbitrarily 'demolishes building' because of coronavirus. pic.twitter.com/abKtkmMVaw
The decision to demolish hotels in Rivers state over violation of the COVID-19 lockdown order is extreme and illegal. Gov Wike, this isn't leadership. ? pic.twitter.com/Cl8Y93zejK
The demolition of the hotel was unnecessary. Temporary closure would have been enough. Wike is over doing it. Those their property was demolished should seek legal redress.
— Comrade Deji Adeyanju (@adeyanjudeji) May 10, 2020
I hope the energy Governor Wike is using to enforce the lock down, he is also using it to increase testing and isolation centre capacity in Rivers state. Fighting this virus is not about being performative but being readily effective.
— mr_robmichael pitied you and (@mr_robmichael) May 10, 2020
Wike was showing necessary action and ensuring security agencies do their job well. He was conmended for that by many & rightly so. But going on to demolish an hotel is definitely way out of order. That sort of action is really condemnable. A fine should have been appropriate.
But he told them beforehand " that he will demolish any hotel that opens …so why dont they just obey …its just for some weeks …maybe they want to try Wike
Y'all shouldn't say wike is wicked, 'wike is harsh, he would have collected a fine' blah, blah, blah shit. Wike clearly stated that there is total lockdown, he repeated that no hotels or companies should open. pic.twitter.com/sxMEDPaxJy

A rare two-headed snake was discovered in a sanctuary in India and this discovery has baffled wildlife experts.
The rare reptile with two heads was found in the Dhenkikot forest range of Keonjhar wildlife sanctuary in the Indian state of Odisha.
It was discovered by Rakesh Mohalik from the Keonjhar district — The snake was a newborn identified as a wolf snake which is not venomous.
The startling visuals were filmed by Rakesh Mohalik —a wildlife enthusiast and photographer— who researches about various species of wildlife and identified it to be the rarest form found on the face of the earth.
The snake, 14 cm (6/7 inches) long, has two fully formed heads, meaning it has four working eyes and two flickering tongues. Both its heads work independently and becomes a challenge for such creatures to survive in the wild as per Rakesh.
“One among the two heads is slightly more developed and both are known to fight over food,” Rakesh added.
Two-headed animals are considered in many cultures to be a portent of disaster and they have frequently appeared in mythology. But although they are rare, they exist in around one in 100,000 live births in the wild.
The snake has been released back into the wild.

Lagos State Government, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Saturday threatened to lockdown Lagos again if Lagosians continue to violate the social distancing order, PM News reports.
The governor expressed displeasure that some Lagosians, especially those in the transportation sector did not obey the social distancing order in totality.
The governor, while giving update on the Coronavirus situation in the state, said on the first day of this new phase of an eased lockdown, the compliance level for commercial transport sector operations was regrettably very low.
“Yellow Buses especially, failed to comply with the capacity restrictions outlined in our framework. While compliance has improved in subsequent days, it is still not encouraging. Many commercial motorcycle operators openly and indiscriminately defied the suspension.
“The ban on Inter-state travel except for essential goods and services was also consistently flouted. In many cases people decided to make the final leg of the journey into the State on foot, to beat the restrictions.
“Trucks and other vehicles carrying items designated as essential, have also played major roles in flouting the guidelines, by conspiring to conceal and smuggle people in and out of the State,” he said.
According to Sanwo-Olu, the reports about mask usage in public places had also not been encouraging as many people were still choosing to go out without masks or face coverings of any kind, saying this was simply unacceptable.
“Let me reiterate that the success of this gradual easing of the lockdown is dependent upon the compliance of each and every one of us.
“As a Government, elected to uphold the security of Lagos State – and this includes health security – let me make it clear that we will not hesitate to review the terms of this easing if we continue to see evidence that Lagosians are determined to flout the rules.
“I am aware that the Presidential Task Force has also made this point; that the continued maintenance of this easing is only guaranteed when people consistently comply.
“Let the numbers we have seen this week stand as a warning to all of you the good people of Lagos State. What we are seeing is child’s play compared to what we could be seeing if we continue to be irresponsible,” he warned.
However, Sanwo-Olu, said five days into this gradual easing, “we can look back and pronounce a verdict on the general levels of compliance in major sectors of our economy.
“Let me start with the encouraging news. We have seen our manufacturing and construction companies gradually ease back into operation. We are happy with the level of compliance in this sector, as well as the beneficial impact of this limited resumption on our economy.
“In the case of our intra-state commuting, and particularly with our BRT and LBSL Buses, and water transport operations, substantial compliance with the carriage policy of no more than 60 percent of maximum capacity was recorded. Markets and Mechanic Villages also demonstrated significant compliance.
“In terms of open markets and stores, our directive was that food and farm produce markets will open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, while markets dealing in other items will open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We have seen high levels of compliance in this regard, as well as in the maintenance of physical distancing and the use of face masks in the markets,” he said.
