The Chairman, Springtime Development Foundation, Dr. Deji Adeleke, has secured the release of about 200 inmates of the Ilesa Prison in Osun State.

The Vice-Chairman of the foundation, Mr. Banji Adesuyi, said this at the Ilesa Prison on Tuesday when the group was donating 700 mattresses and the same number of pillows to the inmates.

Adesuyi said Adeleke became aware that inmates of the prison were sleeping on the bare floor when he went to pay a visit to an embattled chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Alhaji Diekola Oyedele, who was detained at the prison.

He explained that the foundation paid for the release of inmates, who were incarcerated because they could not pay fines as low as N5,000, stressing that the foundation did not secure the release of any inmate convicted because of crime.

Adesuyi said Adeleke was not prompted to secure the release of the inmates because of political reason but purely on humanitarian ground.

According to him, the foundation will not limit the gesture to Ilesa Prison, stating that it will soon extend the same gesture to Ile-Ife Prison before moving outside the state.

The foundation’s chairman said that the organisation would ensure that inmates were introduced to computer literacy, tailoring and woodwork in order to make them useful members of the society even after completing their jail terms.

Adesuyi said,

“Dr. Deji Adeleke paid for the release of over 200 inmates last week when he came to visit a prominent politician, who was detained at the prison.

“A woman was detained with her baby because she could not pay a debt of N65,000, he ( Adeleke) paid the debt, the woman was released and he also gave her another N100,000 to start another trade.”

The Managing Director of the foundation, Samuel Oyalabu, said Adeleke’s gesture should spur other Nigerians to do the little they could to alleviate the suffering of the poor.

One of the inmates, Ekene Madunagwu, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, expressed appreciation to Adeleke.

A 12-year-old girl from Bangladesh is suffering a very rare and painful skin condition that makes her skin grow like the bark of a tree.

Muktamoni’s upper body, the right side mainly, is turning brown and hardening to resemble a tree. Reports have it that the upper part of her body has the tree-man disease.

The right side of the child’s chest has stretched down to her hand and has become large and discolored.

The hand which is infested with parasitic warms appears to be growing and curling up at the end. She suffers incredible pain in the affected arm and, coupled with the fact that the hand curls at the end, she is unable to do anything with the hand.

Doctors say that the disease has spread through her entire body. She is currently receiving treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Her father, Ibrahim said it all started as a small boil on her right hand few years back then it spread.

He said to India Today:

“There was a small boil in Mukta’s right hand three years ago which gradually spread to the entire arm and resulted in the swelling of the arm making it look like a tangled tree. From the hand, it is now moving towards her body slowly. In the last nine years, I have got her treated at different places. Seeing no progress, I have come to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. I beg blessings from all for my daughter’s recovery.”

Mukta was admitted at the Burn and Plastic Unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital on Tuesday where a team of eight doctors has been formed for Mukta’s treatment. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has already taken the responsibility of Mukta’s treatment.

Dr Samantalal Sen, chief of Burn and Plastic Unit, told India Today:

“At this stage, it is difficult to say what kind of disease it is. Initially, we were thinking it a skin disease of some order. Could be anything from Pharmalvascular malformation, Limphotic malformation, Neorophibrometosis and Congenital hyper Caratosis.

Her physical condition is not suitable for operation as of now. In order to be operated, she will have to stay here for 7-10 day and after that, we shall think of surgery.”

The West African Examination Council, WAEC, has released its May/June 2017 secondary school certificate examination results.

..and pictured below might just be the worst WAEC Result of 2017 ever!

Out of the 1,559,162 candidates that sat for for the 2017 WAEC this result may be the worst so far.

According to reports, 923,486 candidates secured at least five credits which include English Language and Mathematics.

Let’s calculate that, that’s a tremendous increase of 59.23%, when rounded off and compared to the last year’s 52.9% and the previous year of 38.7% who passed.

I think it’s safe to say that over time there will be an even greater percentage increase in the number of students who will pass.

As this result came to our attention we come to think of the reason a student who has been studying hard for this phenomenal examination will still manage to gain such a deteriorating result.

Hostel F was thrown into turmoil after a robbery incident which took place inside the hostel at about 1AM today involving room 6 and room 24.

According to some of the students, a group of guys reported entered the hostel through the Toilet by removing the window and burglary of one of the toilets.

They went straight to room 6, covering their faces with wrapper. Collected their phones. Laptops, their ATM cards and pins before marching them to the kitchen where one of the room mates was stabbed and seriously injured.

One of the girls took the risk of running to the common room but found no security personnel there. The hostel mates were alerted around 4AM after room 24 had been robbed.

The girl who raised the alarm chose to remain anonymous but said she was able to do so because the guy who robbed them told them to go outside the room and this gave her the opportunity to lock the door and make calls outside the hostel while shouting to draw attention.

The guy escaped through the same toilet and the girls started receiving debit alert from their various bank accounts.

It was gathered that the school security who came later said they noticed some doors are faulty and this must have been the reason why they were able to gain access to the rooms.

The deputy Vice Chancellor academics, Prof Udo Nwokocha was present at the scene as a representative of the Vice Chancellor he said the management has decided to refund the stolen items to the affected girls and thorough investigation would Commence immediately and adequate measures would be taken on the security personnels assigned to that particular hostel if it is found out that there was negligence of duty.

Also present at the scene were the dean of student affairs, the chief security officers of the school and the Vice Chancellors personal security who all promised to do thorough investigation into the case.
