The Correspondent’s Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists Zamfara State chapter is appealing to government, cooperate organisations and well to do individuals to come to the aide of a nine months old Mushab Lawalli who is suffering from imperforate anus.
Mushab Was born with an imperforate anus, but was provided with a temporary excretory system near his ribs at the Usman Danfodio University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto at the cost of three hundred thousand naira
He is billed for another surgery which is expected to solve the problem permanently at the cost of five hundred thousand naira
The Chairman of the Zamfara correspondents Chapel, Comrade Sani Haruna Dutsinma made the appeal while presenting a donation of fifty thousand naira cash to the parents of Mushab Lawalli on behalf of the chapel
At a brief ceremony held at their residence in Saminaka, a community in Gusau, Zamfara State, Dutsinma appealed to all and sundry to come to the aid of the family and help save the life of the innocent nine months old Mushab.
The situation according to Mr. Haruna Dutsinma makes it difficult for the toddler to excrete out what he eats, a case that has forced the parents to take him to the federal medical center Gusau, in Zamfara before they were referred to Danfodio University Teaching hospital, sokoto.
The biological father of the boy Lawalli Ibrahim says family and relations are working hard to gather the money, which is the cause of the delay for the surgery that is supposed to be an emergency
Mallam Lawalli says he had to sale his motorcycle which he uses for commercial purpose (Okada) to feed the family and add to the donation he received from family and friends to settle the first surgery, that cost three hundred thousand naira
He is again appealing to Zamfara State Government, Zakkat and Endowment Board, cooperate organizations and well to do individuals to help save the live of his son.
Mr. Lawali Ibrahim commend the Zamfara NUJ Correspondents Chapel for the show of love and pray God bless the pen profession and all it’s members.
NDLEA intercepts cocaine, skunk consignments from Brazil, Canada at Enugu, Lagos ports
Desperate efforts to bring into Nigeria 126.95 kilograms of cocaine and skunk concealed in herbal tea packs and imported vehicles by drug cartels from Brazil and Canada have again been thwarted by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, AIIA, Enugu and the Tincan seaport in Lagos.
At the Enugu airport, an Ethiopian Airline male passenger, Eze Christian Ikenna, 42, coming from Brazil via Addis Ababa, Ethiopia was intercepted on arrival at the airport at about 12:30pm on Friday 20th January. A search of his two bags revealed 19 big sachets which he claimed to contain herbal tea but were later found to be cocaine weighing 16.20 kilograms.
In the same vein, a joint examination carried out on a container marked TCLU 7799237 from Montreal, Canada at Sifax Okota Bonded Terminal by NDLEA operatives attached to Tincan Command of the Agency on Wednesday 18th January led to the discovery of 110.75kgs of cannabis Indica concealed in two of the four vehicles in the container: a 2011 Toyota Sienna and a 2011 Honda Pilot SUV.
Deliberate efforts to cut access to illicit opioids by the Agency again paid off on Tuesday when a consignment of Tramadol NDLEA operatives have been tracking for some months was eventually traced to a warehouse at Greenfield estate, Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos. When the store was opened, a total of One Million Six Hundred and Forty Five Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty (1,645,560) pills of Tramadol 100mg, 200mg and 225mg were recovered.

The Correspondent’s Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists Zamfara State chapter is appealing to government, cooperate organisations and well to do individuals to come to the aide of a nine months old Mushab Lawalli who is suffering from imperforate anus.
Mushab Was born with an imperforate anus, but was provided with a temporary excretory system near his ribs at the Usman Danfodio University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto at the cost of three hundred thousand naira
He is billed for another surgery which is expected to solve the problem permanently at the cost of five hundred thousand naira
The Chairman of the Zamfara correspondents Chapel, Comrade Sani Haruna Dutsinma made the appeal while presenting a donation of fifty thousand naira cash to the parents of Mushab Lawalli on behalf of the chapel
At a brief ceremony held at their residence in Saminaka, a community in Gusau, Zamfara State, Dutsinma appealed to all and sundry to come to the aid of the family and help save the life of the innocent nine months old Mushab.
The situation according to Mr. Haruna Dutsinma makes it difficult for the toddler to excrete out what he eats, a case that has forced the parents to take him to the federal medical center Gusau, in Zamfara before they were referred to Danfodio University Teaching hospital, sokoto.
The biological father of the boy Lawalli Ibrahim says family and relations are working hard to gather the money, which is the cause of the delay for the surgery that is supposed to be an emergency
Mallam Lawalli says he had to sale his motorcycle which he uses for commercial purpose (Okada) to feed the family and add to the donation he received from family and friends to settle the first surgery, that cost three hundred thousand naira
He is again appealing to Zamfara State Government, Zakkat and Endowment Board, cooperate organizations and well to do individuals to help save the live of his son.
Mr. Lawali Ibrahim commend the Zamfara NUJ Correspondents Chapel for the show of love and pray God bless the pen profession and all it’s members.
NDLEA intercepts cocaine, skunk consignments from Brazil, Canada at Enugu, Lagos ports
Desperate efforts to bring into Nigeria 126.95 kilograms of cocaine and skunk concealed in herbal tea packs and imported vehicles by drug cartels from Brazil and Canada have again been thwarted by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, AIIA, Enugu and the Tincan seaport in Lagos.
At the Enugu airport, an Ethiopian Airline male passenger, Eze Christian Ikenna, 42, coming from Brazil via Addis Ababa, Ethiopia was intercepted on arrival at the airport at about 12:30pm on Friday 20th January. A search of his two bags revealed 19 big sachets which he claimed to contain herbal tea but were later found to be cocaine weighing 16.20 kilograms.
In the same vein, a joint examination carried out on a container marked TCLU 7799237 from Montreal, Canada at Sifax Okota Bonded Terminal by NDLEA operatives attached to Tincan Command of the Agency on Wednesday 18th January led to the discovery of 110.75kgs of cannabis Indica concealed in two of the four vehicles in the container: a 2011 Toyota Sienna and a 2011 Honda Pilot SUV.
Deliberate efforts to cut access to illicit opioids by the Agency again paid off on Tuesday when a consignment of Tramadol NDLEA operatives have been tracking for some months was eventually traced to a warehouse at Greenfield estate, Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos. When the store was opened, a total of One Million Six Hundred and Forty Five Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty (1,645,560) pills of Tramadol 100mg, 200mg and 225mg were recovered.
