241 NIGERIAN WOMEN INCLUDING 5 NURSING MOTHERS DEPORTED FROM EUROPE

By

241 Nigerian women including five nursing mothers were repatriated to the country on Tuesday following their failed attempt to take the illegal Libyan routes to Europe.

According to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), a total of 257 Nigerians offered themselves to be returned to the country with assistance of the International Organisation for Migration.  They were transported in a chartered Airbus A330-200 flight with Registration number 5A- LAT at 9.15pm therough the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

The returnees, among them two children, four male adults, four teenage boys, were received by Suleiman Yakubu, the Zonal Coordinator of NEMA Southwest.  Yakubu enjoined the returnees to embrace the change mantra of the federal government.  He urged them to remain positive and focused on contributing their quota to national development, instead of seeking greener pastures where it doesn't exist.

Yakubu noted that they would not be treated as second class citizens in their own country, unlike what they face abroad after migrating illegally.  He disclosed that the European Union was providing the reintegration assistance, urging them to make use of the initiative and better their lives.

AMERICA REVEALS SYRIA'S PLANNED USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS AGAIN,VOWS RETALIATION

By
Image
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration said Tuesday it has detected "active preparations" by Syria for a chemical attack and threatened to retaliate — warning of action that could plunge America deeper into a civil war alongside the fight against Islamic State militants. The chemical threat and sudden White House warning illustrate the challenging complexities of the fighting in Syria, a country whose territory was used by IS to march into Iraq in 2014 and prompt a U.S. return to the Middle East's battlefield. Washington now has more than 5,000 troops in Iraq and about 1,000 in Syria. President Donald Trump has said he won't stand for Syria's use of chemical weapons, which are banned under international law and are particularly worrisome in the Arab country because they could fall into extremists' hands. The Pentagon said the preparations detected by the U.S. occurred at the same air base where Syrian aircraft embarked on a sarin gas strike on April 4, kil...

I don't regret changing professions, not one bit," Awuor added. She narrated her journey to being ...

Liberation war hero and musician Cde Dickson Chingaira known as "Cde Chinx" who died last Friday will be buried today at Glen Forest cemetery in Harare, as the family rejects President Robert Mugabe's offer to make him a liberation war hero. Cde Chinx who succumbed to cancer a week ago was 61. However, family spokesperson Mr Dick Chingaira (Junior), yesterday said the decision to bury the musician at Glen Forest cemetery was in consultation with Government.  "After consultations with the State, we decided to bury him at Glen Forest and we are on the same page with the State," he said. Cde Chinx joined the liberation struggle in Mozambique in 1975, where he led the Zanla Choir.
