Suspended OAU Student Drags Management To Court

One of suspended students of the Africa's most beautiful campus, Sanyaolu Oluwajuwon a.k.a Comrade Juwon has dragged the management of Obafemi Awolowo University to the Law Court over what he felt as unjustifiable and illegal indefinite suspension of his studentship.

Comrade Juwon had earlier on the 16th September, 2014 filed a suit at the Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, the capital of The State of Osun challenging his suspension. The Court which sat today for the first time on the suit could not do much as the case was adjourned till November 13, 2014. This was based on the objection raised by the Defense Counsels that their client jut got the writ of summon yesterday.

Apart from the Students' Union leaders of the citadel who are currently on probation, eight students including Comrade Juwon were suspended immediately after the students' struggle against the obnoxious hike in school fees on the basis ranging from the allegation of "Abduction" of a certain Angels who was the returning Electoral Officer for the Union Elective offices last year to failure to appear before the Investigative Panel that investigated the matters concerning the school fees increment protest.

Other students suspended by the management include Olusoji Benjamin (Mandela), Ibirogba Samuel (Sammy), Abimbola Abiodun (Anchor), Olubanji Oluwole (Engels), Adabale Olamide (Olamide), Ademuwagun Johnson(Johnson), Pete Obasa (Chocomilo). Also, Olawale Ogunruku, who has been suspended since 2011 as a result of his action during the acceptance fee increment by the Faborode-led administration remains suspended.

Just immediately after the case adjournment, men of the Nigerian Police Force arrested the Students' Union president, Ibikunle Isaac Motunrayo and the Secretary General of the Union, Shittu Olatayo and other students and detained them at the Police Headquarters in Oshogbo for no obvious reasons. They were later released hours later following the intervention of some other persons. Speaking after his release, Ibikunle stated that "we remain undaunted in the struggle to reinstate the Suspended 9".

A call also put to the Police headquarters in Oshogbo to ascertain why they were detained proved abortive as at the time of writing this report.

Aregbesola Says Education Is Important For Sustainable National Development

Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Governor of the state of Osun, has said that education is important for sustainable national development to take its course in our nation Nigeria.

The Governor while delivering his lecture as the Guest Speaker at the 6th Prince Bola Ajibola annual lecture series, organised by the Magna Curia chambers of Obafemi Awolowo University, held at the University’s Oduduwa hall in Ile-Ife, Osun State, he noted the decadence and declining state of our education in Nigeria. In his words, "Sadly, the Nigerian state today is assailed by manifold layers of insecurity and its progress is hampered by a myriad of developmental challenges all because of the continual erosion in the quality and standard of its educational system,”.

In course of the lecture, it was disclosed that the Honouree is 74 years old with countless number of Awards ranging from being the first black man to be the Chief Judge of the International Court of Justice and others too numerous to mention. It was also disclosed that the governor was born in 1957.

The Lecture had in attendance the de' la creme of the society, the Honouree himself, Justice Bola Ajibola, the executive Governor of The State of Osun State, Ogbeni Aregbeshola, the Deputy Governor of the state, the V. C. of Obafemi Awolowo University, Prof. Bamitale Omole, ably represented by the Deputy Vice Chancellor Administration, Prof. Adebisi Ajayi.

The program came to an official end at about 5:00pm during which the fully armed security men in attendance led the Governor, Honouree and others to their convoys.

Texas Town Quarantined After Family Of Five Test Positive For The Ebola Virus

The small town of Purdon, Texas has been quarantined after a family of five tested positive for the Ebola virus.

Purdon is located just 70 miles from Dallas, Texas, and the hospital that has cared for both American Ebola patients, Thomas Eric Duncan, and Texas nurse, Nina Pham.

It has been verified that Jack Phillips returned from Dallas last week while on business. Shortly after arriving home, Mr. Phillips began exhibiting flu-like symptoms, but did not immediately go to the hospital. At this time his wife and children began showing similar symptoms, which provoked the family to get tested. Doctors then learned that Phillips, his wife, and three children had contracted Ebola haemorrhagic fever.

Facts About Purdon, Texas And The Ebola Quarantine

• 133 residents
•  Unincorporated community in Navarro County
• Originally Known As Belle Point
• Ebola is spread through contact with bodily fluids of an infected individual 
• Ebola has a 90% casualty rate in areas such as West Africa. In America the mortality rate is 50/50
• Five people are confirmed to have the Ebola Virus in Pardon County

CDC quarantined the area, erecting road blocks and disallowing anyone in or out of the area
A staff member at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital contacted National Report with a short statement about the Ebola situation in Texas. The individual wished to remain anonymous for their own safety, and told us the following,
“As far as we know, Jack Phillis had not come in contact with neither the late Thomas Duncan or Mrs. Phan. It is perhaps possible that he was within a close proximity of the infected parties, but it is otherwise unknown as to how Phillips was infected with Ebola.

The CDC wasted no time sealing up the rest of the town’s denizens, and has stopped all traffic entering and exiting Purdon, TX. As of 10 Pm, Oct. 13th area has been surrounded with police and CDC officials. Communications with the locals seems to have been cut off, and press is currently awaiting an official statement from local authorities.

UPDATE: The U.S. Department of State has issued a travel
advisory for US citizens considering travel to and from Texas!
