SCOTTISH MAN JAILED FOR ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHING MAN'S HIP IN BUSY BAR

By

Jamie Harron, 27, has been sentenced to three months in jail in Dubai for touching a man's hip as he carried a drink through a crowded bar.

He was arrested for public indecency at the Rock Bottom bar on 15 July. The electrician, from Stirling, claimed he was simply trying to avoid spilling his drink when he touched the man.

It was thought the case against Harron might have been dropped after reports that the businessman he touched had withdrawn his complaint. But on Sunday the campaign group Detained in Dubai, which has been supporting Harron, said he had been sentenced to three months in jail for public indecency.

The group said he would appeal against the jail term but he faced further court proceedings for drinking alcohol and for allegedly swearing at the businessman he touched.

LYING LIE MOHAMMED BY FEMI FANI-KAYODE

LYING LIE MOHAMMED BY FEMI FANI-KAYODE This is not the time for preaching peace when the enemy is ready to destroy the world.To forgive Islamic terrorists is up to God but to send them to see God is my duty” – President Vladimir Putin. Is there any sane person that disagrees with Putin ? Evidently there are a few people in high places in Nigeria that do. The greatest evil that plagues our land today are not Boko Haram or the Fulani miliitias. The greatest evil are those so-called moderate Muslims and practising Christians who pretend that the terrorists don’t exist, who turn a blind eye to their evil and who sit back silently and watch them. Consider the foul-breathed, pamper-wearing lying Lai Mohammed, Buhari’s Minister of Information. He falls squarly into that category. The other day he claimed that the assertion that Muslims kill Christians in Nigeria “is a fallacy”. This man is nothing but scum. He is filth. He is sick. He is an unrepentant and pernicious liar. He is the low...

By

Prof. Itse Sagay The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay has strongly criticized the insistent refusal of the National Assembly to approve Ibrahim Magu as the Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Sagay, in an interview with Channels TV early this morning, said the Senate was only discharging its duties with self-love and tyranny at the expense of the country. He noted the case of rejecting appointment of Magu as the EFCC Boss is a peculiar case. "The Senate is the bad party in this country. The Executice can proceed with the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as the Chairman of the EFCC as stipulated by the law. if the Senate is not careful, Magu will remain the EFCC boss without the consent of the legislature. The Acting President is right for saying that", the Professor of Law stated.

ONIDURO: FINALLY TOPE ALABI APOLOGISES OVER 'ONIDURO STATEMENT. ▪︎"Let Me Acknowledge That My Mistake Was That I Externalised A Personal Message In Public; And I'm Awfully Sorry For Doing That." Initially, I didn't want to delve into the controversy over the gospel hit song, "Oniduro," because I have intervened behind the scenes in concert with other stakeholders in gospel music ministry. However, I discovered that online media would not allow the dust to settle calmly. I want to state that Tope Alabi, Adeyinka Adesioye a.k.a Alaseyori and Tolu Adelegan are all members of the same family of God and they belong to the same calling – singing ministry. "Adeyinka is my daughter in ministry. Her Pastor asked me to pray for her because she took after me, which I did wholeheartedly.  Envy who? Never!  I love the girl so much.  She can confirm to you, sir, that we relate so well. God has given each of us the grace to go as far as His enablement could carry ...
