Woman flees with son to avoid his circumcision
Some people say she was simply doing what she could to protect a child portrayed as "scared to death" of the procedure, a judge issued a scalding rebuke for her refusal to appear in court, charging her with contempt and issuing an arrest warrant.
However, the mother later changed her mind thus causing the long legal battle. Circuit and appellate judges have sided with the father, but potential surgeons have backed out after failing to get the mother's consent and being targeted by anti-circumcision protesters.
She was taken into custody Thursday, her attorney Thomas Hunker said, declining to release further details.

Luxembourg Prime Minister set to wed his gay partner
Bettel who became Prime Minister in December 2013, told Belgium’s RTBF public television that he was getting married because he wants to accept his sexuality and avoid been unhappy all his life.
“I could have hidden it or repressed it and been unhappy my whole life. I could have had relations with someone of the other sex while having homosexual relations in secret. But I told myself that if you want to be a politician be honest in politics, you have to be honest with yourself and to accept that you are who you are.”The low-key ceremony at the town hall in Luxembourg is being deliberately kept out off the media spotlight and will be followed by weekend-long private celebrations for around 500 guests.
So Klin and the Top 9 Nigerian Idol finalists
The brand which recently launched an excitingly aspirational new theme campaign tagged’ It’s Your Time to Shine’ basically to induce positive perception it the minds of its teeming consumers while encouraging them to aspire to the level of their dreams.
It is against this backdrop that the brand recently took up the partnership pact with the Nigerian Idol as an official sponsor throughout the current season.
Speaking during the performance of the “TOP 9 finalists, So Klin Brand Manager, Mr. Torezi Obaro expressed satisfaction on the qualification process sayingthe multi-layered theatre auditions, group stage performances, public voting process and the Judges Wild Card resulting to the selection of the top 12 have been spectacular.
The So klin brand recently unveiled new advertising campaign tagged “It’s your Time To shine”. The materials typify the success stories of an architect and a news anchor from childhood to successful adulthood and we believe that the Nigerian Idol show also demonstrates the journey through hardwork, dedication and passion to achieve one’s dream and shine!
However, we also believe that the coming together of the two great and iconic brands (So Klin& Nigerian Idol) is a strategic partnership which aspires to bring out the star in our youths.
Mr.Obaro said: “So Klin is excited to be part of this edition of the Nigerian Idol. Nigerian Idol resonates with the So klin brand message and expression of the raw /hidden talent in the Nigerian youth. However, it is also commendable that Nigerian Idol also has been consistent enough to remain one of the very best TV reality shows in the history of Nigeria”.

Photos: Meet the baby born with no eyes
"It was a shock - we had never heard of it before. But she is our gorgeous baby and we have no regrets about turning down a termination." Danielle said
"We want to give Daisy as normal a life as possible and give her the same opportunities as other children. We had never heard of the condition before and neither had any of our friends or family. People didn't really know what to say when we told them.
"The cyst showed up on the 21-week scan and naturally we were worried about it. But none of the doctors said our baby could be born blind. Everyone has been really supportive and I can't thank the doctors and midwives enough for all of their help."Little Daisy will later this month go for an operation to fit glass eyes. And when she's 18months old, they will be replaced with painted eyes that will look more natural.

INEC declares presidential election results on Monday
The Independent National Electoral Commission has said that
despite the extension of the Saturday’s elections till Sunday in
some parts of the country, the complete results of the
presidential poll will be declared on Monday.
INEC chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, who gave this assurance
on Sunday, however, said as of Sunday evening, results of the
polls had only been completely collated in two states, one of
which was Ekiti.
He maintained that the commission would declare the results
of the presidential election within 48 hours after the conduct
of the polls as it did in 2011.
He said this while addressing journalists in company with
some of the INEC commissioners on the update on the
conduct of the elections so far at the International Conference
Centre, Abuja, venue of the National Collation Centre of the
elections.
He said, “Some people assume that when I said 48 hours, it
starts from the morning the elections commenced. It is 48
hours after elections have ended, like yesterday.
“You start counting 48 hours from yesterday (Saturday), when
substantial majority of the polling units ended elections.”
He expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the Saturday’s
polls, which he said held in a substantial number of polling
units across the country, including the troubled North-East
region, where he said Internally Displaced Persons were able
to vote in three states of Adamawa, Yobe and Borno.
“We are pleased that the elections went on smoothly in a
substantial number of Polling Units across the country,
including the North East where the commission was also able
to conduct voting for Internally Displaced Persons in the three
states of Adamawa, Yobe and Borno,” he said.
He also debunked speculation that the resort to manual
accreditation in some polling units, where the card reader
machines failed, could undermine the credibility of the
election.
According to him, out of more that 150,000 card readers used
for the conduct of the polls on Saturday, only 300 of them
failed, representing only about 0.25 per cent of the total
number of machines.
“It is also gratifying to not that the card readers worked well
in the majority of polling units, even though there were areas
where difficulties experienced necessitated additional
guidelines to allow for manual accreditation of voters, as
announced yesterday (Saturday),” he said.
He said the resort to manual accreditation occurred in some
polling units in nine states which are Osun, Kebbi, Ekiti,
Adamawa, Borno, Jigawa, Anambra, Akwa Ibom and Ebonyi.”

Nigerian troops on Sunday engaged gunmen in fierce battle in
Dungulbe village, seven kilometres from Bauchi, the Bauchi
State Capital.
Reliable security sources and villagers confirmed the fighting.

that fighter jets had been drafted to support the troops to

DSS, others bar journalists from collation centres in Imo
There was mild tension in parts of in Imo State on Sunday as
armed security personnel, including men of the Department of
State Security, the Police and the Army barred journalists from
collation centres in the state.
At the collation Centre in Owerri Municipal Council Secretariat,
journalists were turned back from the gate by stern looking
security operatives who could not give reasons for the action.
The anxious journalists who were at the centres to get the
results of the National Assembly and Presidential election
results were told to return home and wait until the results
were announced.
All efforts to reach the Resident Electoral Commissioner,
George Ada, were abortive as his phone was switched off.
Meanwhile elections were conducted yesterday in the polling
units where the exercise could not hold yesterday as a result
of non availability of voting materials.
It will be recalled that many supporters of the All Progressives
Congress were arrested and manhandled by security
operatives at the alleged instance of the People’s Democratic
Party.
Be patient, vigilant, Buhari tells Nigerians
Maj-Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (retd.)

Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has appealed to
Nigerians to be patient as the Independent National Electoral
Commission collates Saturday’s Presidential election results.
The APC candidate, who is contesting the poll for the fourth
time, gave the charge on his official Twitter page on Sunday
evening.
He urged his supporters to be vigilant.
He said, “Fellow Nigerians, I urge you to exercise patience and
vigilance as we wait for all results to be announced.”

(Saturday) at about 2.30pm, unknown gunmen in about six
vehicles attacked a polling unit at Yautara Ward in Darazo
LGA and set ablaze electoral materials.
“Combined security forces, comprising the police and Army,
forced the hoodlums to abandon their mission and escaped
into the bush.
“However, today, 29/3/2015 (Sunday) at about 0025hrs
(12.25am), hoodlums further attacked Kirfi and Alkaleri
Divisional Police Headquarters, but were repelled and pursued
towards Dindima Town along Bauchi Gombe Road.”
The Police Spokesman said operations were still ongoing,
adding that the areas had been cordoned off by a combined
team of security forces with efforts being intensified to restore
normalcy in the area.
He said, “Members of the public are urged to remain calm and
disregard rumour from mischief makers.”

SUV in front of the Commission’s office, believed to have the

the SUV forced its way through the angry mob, who stoned
and hit it the various objects.
They attacked several vehicles moving in and out of the area
carrying electoral materials.
More tanks and heavily-armed security officers have been
moved into the area.
Tension remains high in the area.
