Court of Appeal dismisses Saraki's appeal.

The Federal Court of Appeal in Abuja has thrown out the suit filed by Senate President Bukola Saraki challenging the jurisdiction of the Code of Conduct Tribunal to try him for corruption. The court sat on Friday Morning after adjourning his case indefinitely. At the resumed hearing, the court dismissed all five issues raised by Senate President before it. The Abuja division of the Court of Appeal delivered the judgment in the appeal seeking to dismiss the 13-count criminal charge pending against the Senate President at the CCT.

Saraki who is facing a 13 count of false asset declaration when he was governor of Kwara state appealed to the court to stop his arrest by the Police and stay proceedings before the Code of Conduct Tribunal. The Court of Appeal and the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, in two separate rulings, had refused the ex-parte applications brought by the Senate President seeking to stop his arrest by the Police and stay proceedings before the Code of Conduct Tribunal over alleged false assets declaration.

Saraki had wanted the Federal High Court to stop the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal from prosecuting him on the ground that it is only the Attorney General of the Federation that has the power to initiate criminal proceedings against him. Saraki was charged before the Code Of Conduct Tribunal, CCT to answer to allegations of corruption leveled against him by the conduct bureau.

He pled not guilty to all 13 charges leveled against him by the Conduct Bureau describing them as false and frivolous adding that charges were calculated to rubbish him. The Tribunal also adjourned Saraki’s trial till November 5th and 6th.

Photos of beauty queen saying 'thank you' to her mum will melt your heart

Khanittha 'Mint' Phaesang won the much coveted Miss Uncensored News Thailand and her first port of call was home, to go thank her mother for everything she had done for her. She was pictured kneeling near a row of wheelie bins in front of her mother.

The incredible picture shows Mint, 17, after she returned to her home in Amin, Thailand, decked out in her pageant gear which included a sparkling tiara and silk sash, along with impressively high golden heels and touching her mum's legs as she got on her knees by the rubbish which her mum makes a living from collecting and recycling.

In Mint's culture, kneeling in gratitude is the highest form of respect, and Mint said that she was never ashamed of working with her mum, who raised her alone, in the rubbish .

Khanittha said : "What I have today is because of my mother. She and I make a living by doing honest work, so there is no reason why I should feel inferior."

Thanks to the win, Mint has lined up work as a model for advertisements and acting, but she says her mum is unchanged by her success.
"The family will continue to be scavengers. My mother will still go and sort garbage and is not willing to let me help."

Well...

So, America 'Officially' Does Not Recognise The Titles 'Mother' And 'Father' Again!

Nawaoo! Due to the recent legalisation of gay marriages in America by the US Supreme Court...The American public sector is now officially not recognizing the titles of "Mother" and "Father".

Courts, schools and official public records will no longer provide recognition for the title "Mother" and "Father" in their move to appear more gender-neutral sensitive.

The move is also geared towards transgender individuals who prefer to be known as the opposite sex.

Instead of "Mother" and "Father" the US courts and other official record keeping offices will refer to parents as "Parent 1" and "Parent 2, which will cateri for same-sex and transgender parents.

My people, do you see what I am seeing?? These are truly the end times...

No Hiding Place! Billionaire Arrested For Bank Robbery He Committed 16 Years Ago (Photos)

Property tycoon in China has confessed to robbing a bank 16 years ago and using the money to start up his massive empire now worth billions.

According to Peoples Daily Online, Shi, the 53-year-old was arrested last week in the central China's Zhumadian City for a crime he committed in December 1999.

At the time five armed suspects broke into a bank in the city of Zhengzhou, injuring two clerks and walking away with 2.8 million yuan (£290,000) in cash.

On the morning of October 21, more than 80 undercover police investigators rushed to the Zhumadian, Henan province, and arrested five suspects including billionaire Shi.

Shi is said to be well known in Zhumadian for being an extremely powerful and successful property tycoon.

He runs a number of businesses including industrial real estates, development and trade companies, and leisure farms. All earning him a fortune. As well as property, he has billions invested in local businesses and often hosts regular charity events. All of this has influenced the community he lives in.

After he was arrested, Shi admitted to breaking into the bank armed with four suspects and stealing the money 16 years ago.

Shi told police, before the robbery in the early 1990’s he was not satisfied with his income as a construction worker. So he gathered a group of guys who were working as painters for a ‘secret job.’

Then for three months leading up to the raid they hatched a plan to rob the bank which included a well-designed escape route. Doing so they seriously injured a man was shot in the head and left in a pool of blood, and a woman. It is unclear what happened to her.

The whole process which involved the suspects dressed as business men took just five minutes. It was a case that shocked the whole country as no one has ever been arrested since it took place in 1999.

Many of the investigators working on the case are now retired but they never gave up. From a list of 158 suspects they eventually narrowed it down to five.16 years later the Zhengzhou City Public Security Bureau held a press conference to confirm the mystery of the 1999 bank robbery had successfully been solved.

A vital piece of evidence in the investigation was a hammer that was used to brake the bullet proof glass during the raid.
