A baby born with an extra head is recovering this week in Afghanistan
after undergoing a risky procedure to have the head removed.
Only a few months old, Asree Gul was discharged from a hospital in
eastern Afghanistan after doctors successfully removed the extra head
from her scalp, reports the BBC.
Born to farmers in the Chaparhar district, Asree also has a twin
sister, who was delivered without complications. Asree’s unique
condition, however, made it difficult for her to sleep.
The hospital’s chief surgeon, Ahmad Obaid Mojadidi, told the Agence
France-Pressethat the complicated operation performed on Chaparhar was
the first of its kind in the region.

Peter and Paul Okoye famously known as
P-Square are the highest paid hip-hop artistes right now, ENCOMIUM Weekly findings have revealed. The Okoyes are currently charging between
N9 and N10 million for a show within Nigeria.
Apart from information gathered from the source close to the duo,
independent music promoters/artiste managers also confirmed this,
declaring the Koko master, D’Banj as the second highest paid artiste.
The DB Record boss charges between N6 and N7 million as a standard show
fee.
“Before the split of Mo’Hits, it used to be D’Banj. When D’Banj was
charging between N7 and N8 million, P-Square’s fee was N5 million”, a
veteran music manager affirmed, adding, “Right now, it’s P-Square.”

Lt. General
Jeremiah Useni needs no introduction. The prominent role he played
during the reign of late Head of State, Sani Abacha, as Minister of the
Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, is well known.
However,
there are two things about Jeremiah Useni, who was referred to as
‘Jerry Boy’ at the time. He was indeed a Boy, because he joined the Army
at the age of 14. Firstly, he was one of the soldiers who fired shots
during the coup against General Ironsi in which the General was killed
in Ibadan. Mr. Useni was also the closest person to General Abacha up to
his last moments.
This
interview, conducted in Hausa by the Hausa language newspaper, Rariya,
and translated to English, reveals a lot of things many of us didn’t
know, including the conspiracies that denied him the opportunity of
succeeding Mr. Abacha after he died.

Suspected Boko Haram Islamists on Thursday opened fire in a church in
Nigeria’s restive northeast, killing the pastor and his two children
before setting fire to the building and fleeing, the military said.
Boko Haram, which has said it is fighting to create an Islamic state
in mainly Muslim northern Nigeria, has repeatedly attacked churches in
its four-year insurgency.
“Unknown gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram terrorists attacked” the
church in Yobe state early on Thursday, area military spokesman Eli
Lazarus said in a statement.
“During the attack, a pastor and his two children were killed,” he said.
The church “and two other houses in the community were burnt by the
gunmen before fleeing the scene of the incident,” the statement further
said.
