Nigerian parents arrested in the US after their son dies during compulsory 40-day fast

Knificent.blogspot.com .

The parents of a 15-year-old boy were charged to court after their son died of starvation last week in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, following a 40-day fast.

Kehinde Omosebi, 49, who claims to be a pastor, and his wife Titilayo Omosebi, 47, were charged Tuesday in Sauk County with causing the child’s death through neglect. They were also charged with child neglect causing great bodily harm after another son, 11, was found alive but extremely emaciated.

The children's father told police that the family were observing a religious fast which began on July 17.

Reedsburg Police Chief Timothy Becker said police had to break through padlocked doors to reach the boys at a residence on Alexander Avenue on the west side of the city after Kehinde Omosebi alerted them on Sunday that his son had died there. Once inside, the police immediately encountered the distinct smell of a corpse, he said.

Becker added:

It wasn’t a fast, it was neglect because the statutes make it clear that you have to provide necessary food (to children).

When you lock your kids in the house and the father is the only one who can leave, it stops being a fast and starts being starvation and neglect.

Officers found the 15-year-old boy’s body in a chair in a bedroom, according to Becker. The criminal complaint said the boy was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled over his head. The boy’s backbones and ribs were visible under his skin, it said.

Becker said:

It wasn’t like the kid was healthy on Thursday and then died on Friday. His death was a long process and his parents did nothing to stop it. That’s the most concerning thing about this.

The Omosebis’ 11-year-old son was so weak when police arrived that he couldn’t walk out of the residence on his own and had a hard time talking, according to the criminal complaint. The boy was holding onto a Bible and an envelope that police said contained pamphlets about death, which were handed out to officers when they arrived at the residence, the complaint said.

Police also found a handwritten letter in the residence with the boy's signature on it. The letter was addressed to "Lawyers of Sauk County Circuit Court" and included statements such as "The hunger is too much. Please help me now so I may eat," "I can’t continue in such a life with no food" and "If I don’t get food now I’ll probably die of hunger."

Becker said the boy was initially taken to Reedsburg Area Medical Center but was later moved to the American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison, where he has been placed in protective custody.

Father And Daughter Escape Death, As Truck Crushes Their SUV In Benin(pics) - Travel

Knificent.blogspot.com .


Two occupants of a Toyota Highlander SUV, Fidelis Omoruyi and his daughter, Omon, cheated death on Wednesday, as a tyre-laden truck crushed their vehicle in Benin, Edo State.

The accident which occurred along the Akpakpava Road, by First East Circular Junction, was attributed to a bump at the middle of the Road.

Many at the scene of the accident described the survival of the occupants of the SUV as miraculous. Omoruyi said they stopped at a transport firm by the junction to deliver a parcel when they suddenly heard a loud noise as the truck crashed into their vehicle.

An eyewitness, Osasu, condemned the poor attitude of the agency responsible for the maintenance of roads in Benin, saying that the bump which allegedly caused the accident has caused many others

Bukola Saraki, FEMA react to the recent earth tremors rocking Abuja

Knificent.blogspot.com .



Residents in parts of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja have been experiencing earth tremor in the past few days. The areas where the earth tremor was pronounced were Mpape and parts of Maitama districts.

The FCT Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has attributed the cause of the tremor to seismic movement within the earth. Director General, FEMA, Abbas G. Idriss, said in a statement on Thursday that the tremor was caused by sudden breaks along a fault line, resulting in sudden release of energy that makes the ground shake.

“We have been inundated with distress calls in our watch room as a result of Earth shaking happening around Mpape and parts of Maitama districts of the FCT. While appreciating the calls from the public, the FCT Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) wishes to say that the possible cause of the earth shaking might be as a result of earth tremor. It is also a sign of seismic movement within the earth, caused by sudden breaks along a fault line, which results in sudden release of energy that makes the ground shake,” Idriss said.  

Senate President Bukola Saraki also said, 'we have all been feeling the earth tremors in Abuja and surrounding areas over the last 48 hours. I know that many people are scared, but please, remain calm and vigilant. At this time, it is important that NEMA, FCT Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and all emergency services be on high alert to prevent the loss of lives and property'.
