Conservative Amy Holmes Scorches Discriminatory 'Stop-And-Frisk'

A Nigeria Railways Corporation official said the train departs Ibadan for Lagos at 8am daily with a return trip scheduled at 4pm.

The Lagos-Ibadan expressway is notorious for heavy trucks and traffic gridlocks that can stretch for several kilometres.

The Lagos-Ibadan line is the first part of a new 2,733km Lagos-Kano standard gauge line. The total cost of the project was valued at $11.117bn.

TWO prisoners at Mutare Remand Prison are in trouble after they were arrested on Tuesday for sodomy. BY KENNETH NYANGANI The pair, Moses Mabhure from Mutare and Carlos Mafuke from Machipanda in Mozambique appeared before regional magistrate Lucie Mungwari facing aggravated indecent assault charges (sodomy). They were not asked to plead and were remanded in custody to December 18. It is the State’s case that sometime in November, Mafuke was bathing at Mutare Remand Prison when he was approached by Mabhure. Mabhure demanded to have sexual intercourse with Mafuke, who refused. Mabhure, however, “forcibly” had sexual intercourse with Mafuke. The matter came to light on November 29 when Mafuke was found caressing Mabhure’s private parts by fellow prisoners who reported the matter to jail guards. Follow Kenneth on Twitter @KennethNyangan1

The World Food Programme received its Nobel Peace Prize on Thursday. Because of the global pandemic, the event was without the traditional pomp-filled celebration in the Norwegian capital.

\"To the Norwegian Nobel Committee, thank you for this great honor. Also, thank you for acknowledging our work of using food to combat hunger, to mitigating destabilization of nations, to prevent mass migrations, to end conflict and to create stability and peace,\" Executive Director of the Programme, David Beasley said.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2020 to the World Food Programme (WFP) for its efforts to combat hunger, its contribution to better the conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas, and efforts at preventing the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict.

The World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian organization addressing hunger and promoting food security.

In 2019, it provided assistance to close to 100 million people in 88 countries who are victims of acute food insecurity and hunger. In 2015, eradicating hunger was adopted as one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The WFP is the UN’s primary instrument for achieving this goal. In recent years, the situation has taken a negative turn. In 2019, 135 million people suffered from acute hunger. This is the highest number in many years, which is largely caused by war and armed conflict.
