The Released Kidnapped Pupils of Lagos-State Model College, Igbonla, Epe with their parents at the news conference on
their freedom in Lagos on Friday /28/07/17


Parents of the recently rescued six students of the Lagos Model College were hugely relieved Friday to reunite with them after more than two months of anxiety.

The freed boys are Peter Jonah, Isiaka Rahmon, Adebayo George, Judah Agbausi, Pelumi Philips, and Farouq Yusuf.

Moruf Ramon, whose 19-year-old son, Isiaka, was among the rescued students, commended the Lagos government and the Nigerian police for their efforts.

"I am so happy with what is happening today and I want to appreciate the Lagos State Government and the Commissioner of Police for all they have done to secure the release of our children."

Another parent, Beatrice Jonah, said it had been a traumatic experience for her family.

According to her, the experience is very difficult to describe as it was better imagined than experienced.

"To me it has been 65 days of trauma but we thank God he is back safely," she said.

The Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr Idiat Adebule, who received the students on behalf of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, commended the efforts of the security agencies and the intervention of the Federal Government.

North Korea first test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile on July 4 prompted the Pentagon to assure it can defend the United States against the growing threat ©  North Korea on Friday carried out what appeared to be its second test this month of an intercontinental ballistic missile, doubling down on its threat to develop a nuclear strike capability against the US mainland. South Korean, US and Japanese monitors all detected the unusual late-night test, with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe saying the missile may have landed within Japan's maritime exclusive economic zone. "We assess that this missile was an intercontinental ballistic missile," Pentagon spokesman Navy Captain Jeff Davis said, adding that the projectile travelled about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) before splashing down in the Sea of Japan. However, the Russian military said the launch appeared to be a "medium-range" ballistic missile. The launch came a day after North Korea celebra...

North Korea said the new missile reached an altitude of about 4,475 km (2,780 miles) - more than 10 times the height of the International Space Station - and flew 950 km (590 miles) during its 53-minute flight. Images released by North Korea on Thursday appeared to show it has succeeded in developing a missile capable of delivering a nuclear weapon anywhere in the United States and it could be only two or three tests away from being declared combat ready, U.S.-based experts said on Thursday. North Korea released dozens of photos and a video after Wednesday's launch of the new Hwasong-15 missile, and leader Kim Jong Un declared the country had "finally realized the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force". U.S.-based experts, some of whom have been sceptical about past North Korean claims to have put all of the United States in range, said data from the latest test and the photos appeared to confirm North Korea has a missile of suffici...

"She would not stop laughing at me," Kenneth told the stunned witness, who then watched as the distraught hubby grabbed Kristy's body and tried to drag her toward the balcony.

DAILY DEVOTION FOR SEPTEMBER 14th 2017

  The Word For The Hour   A daily devotion for September 14th   From your friends at  RayStedman.org     Read: 2 Corinthians 5:18-6:2       That God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:19).       This is the message above all else, that the world needs to know. The problem with people everywhere is they have no security, no sense of acceptance, and no sense of worth. Most people have a poor self-image--even the blustering people who try to portray that they are self-sufficient. Deep inside they know their actions are a cover-up; they know they do not really feel as confident as they would lead others to believe. They are often scared and frustrated. They have to pretend that they are able to handle everything, but at the end of the day they know they did not. The reason people lack security is because they feel an alienation, an estrangement, from God. They li...
