MAN TIES SON'S HANDS AND LEGS AND SET HIM ABLAZE IN KWARA

A commercial driver identified as Kehinde Akangbi has been accused of setting his 22 year old son, Sola ablaze for allegedly stealing from a roadside beggar in Omu-Aran in Kwara state.

According to a report by Vanguard, Sola who is a Wheelbarrow pusher and alleged troublemaker, was accused of stealing money from roadside beggars. He was apprehended and then taken to his father who allegedly took him to the bush at Omu-Aran-Isanlu-Isin road where he tied his hands and leg and then set him on fire.

Sola, who was still alive when he was rescued, told his rescuers that his father was responsible for the act. He was rushed to the Ajisafe Hospital, Omu-Aran where he was treated for high degree burns. He passed away as the fire had burnt most parts of his body.

The mother of the deceased, Rachael, who was at the hospital when her son died, expressed her sadness at the allegation that her son's father who she has since separated from, carried out such an act on their son.

The Kwara state Police Public Relation Officer Ajayi Okunsanmi confirmed the incident and said the suspect was already in police custody and that investigation was ongoing.

A CHURCH BUILT IN TAIWAN TO RESEMBLE HIGH HEEL GLASS SHOE

The fashionable church building is located in the Southwest Coast Scenic Area in Taiwan. The huge high-heel shoe is 17m high and 11m wide, and made of 320 pieces of glass.

According to the administrative office of the building, this church might look very stylish but it also blends with tradition. In tradition, the bride needs to wear high-heels to tread on tiles and then throw away the shattered pieces before stepping in the bridegroom’s family, which signifies the end to past misfortunes and the beginning of a better life.

They decided to build a high-heel shoe-like church for couples to get married and take wedding photos. The church is expected to open in February of this year during the annual Spring Festival.

FORMER CHELSEA DOCTOR ARRIVES AT COURT TODAY TO BEGIN CASE AGAINST CLUB AND JOSE MOURINHO

Former Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro's together with her husband arrived at the London South Employment Tribunal in Croydon to begin her constructive dismissal case against the club. The preliminary hearing will take place today & is expected to be in private before an employment judge.

The 42yr old doctor was dropped from first-team duties after Mourinho criticized her and first-team physio Jon Fearn for going onto the pitch to treat Eden Hazard on the opening day of the season.

The action meant that Chelsea was temporarily down to nine men against Swansea, and afterwards Mourinho called Carneiro and Fearn ''impulsive and naive''.

Carneiro did not appear on the bench again for first-team duties and later parted company with the club.

Mourinho was cleared of using discriminatory language towards her following an investigation by the Football Association. Afterwards, Carneiro and the FA's independent board member Dame Heather Rabbatts criticized the governing body for not interviewing the doctor as part of its investigation.

Mourinho could be forced to give evidence in person at a full employment tribunal, but would only face a maximum £1,000 fine if he did not attend.

Yet he could be told to pay Carneiro hundreds of thousands of pounds if she wins her case, and the club failed to indemnify Mourinho as part of his compensation package.

Carneiro has also had backing from FIFA's medical chairman Michel D'Hooghe, who contacted the doctor to offer his support and that of the world governing body. He has backed Carneiro's insistence that she was just doing her job.

OBAMA ACTS ALONE ON GUN CONTROL

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tears streaking his cheeks, President
Barack Obama launched a final-year push Tuesday to
tighten sales of firearms in the U.S., using his presidential
powers in the absence of tougher gun restrictions that
Congress has refused to pass.
The president struck a combative tone as he came out with
plans for expanded background checks and other modest
measures that have drawn consternation from gun rights
groups, which Obama accused of making Congress their
hostage. Palpable, too, was Obama's extreme frustration at
having made such little progress on gun control since the
killing of 20 first-graders in Connecticut confronted the
nation more than three years ago.
"First-graders," Obama said woefully, resting his chin on
his hand and wiping away tears as he recalled the 2012
massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. "Every time I
think about those kids, it gets me mad."
Obama's 10-point plan to keep guns from those who
shouldn't have them marked a concession by the president:
He'll leave office without securing the new gun control laws
he's repeatedly and desperately implored Congress to pass.
<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/photos/gun-control-
debate-1365533643-slideshow/">
Although Obama, acting alone, can take action around the
margins, only Congress can enact more sweeping changes
that gun control advocates say are the only way to truly
stem the frequency of mass shootings.
"It won't happen overnight," Obama said. "It won't happen
during this Congress. It won't happen during my
presidency." But, he added optimistically, "a lot of things
don't happen overnight."
The National Rifle Association, the largest gun group,
panned Obama's plan and said it was "ripe for abuse,"
although the group didn't specify what steps, if any, it will
take to oppose or try to block it. Even Sen. Joe Manchin, a
Democrat and gun-owner who co-wrote the bipartisan bill
Obama supported in 2013, took issue with the president's
move.
"Instead of taking unilateral executive action, the
president should work with Congress and the American
people, just as I've always done, to pass the proposals he
announced today," Manchin said.
The centerpiece of Obama's plan is an attempt to narrow
the loophole that exempts gun sales from background
checks if the seller isn't a federal registered dealer. With
new federal "guidance," the administration is clarifying
that even those who sell just a few weapons at gun shows,
flea markets or online can be deemed dealers and required
to conduct checks on prospective buyers.
Whether that step can make a significant dent in
unregulated gun sales is an open question, and one not
easily answered.
Millions of guns are sold annually in informal settings
outside of gun shops, including many through private sales
arranged online. But the Obama administration
acknowledged it couldn't quantify how many gun sales
would be newly subjected to background checks, nor how
many currently unregistered gun sellers would have to
obtain a license.
Easily reversible by a future president, the government's
guidance to gun sellers lacks the legal oomph of a new law,
such as the one Obama and likeminded lawmakers tried but
failed to pass in 2013. The Justice Department said online
the guidance "has no regulatory effect and is not intended
to create or confer any rights, privileges, or benefits in any
matter, case, or proceeding."
What's more, none of the steps would have probably
prevented any of the recent mass shootings that Obama
invoked in the East Room: Aurora, Oak Creek, Charleston,
Newtown, to name some. But Obama defiantly rejected that
critique, dismissing it as the tired trope of gun lobbyists who
question "why bother trying?"
"I reject that thinking," Obama said. "We maybe can't
save everybody, but we could save some."
Hoping to give the issue a human face, the White House
assembled a cross-section of Americans affected by
searing recent gun tragedies, including former Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords. Mark Barden, whose son was shot to
death at Sandy Hook Elementary School, introduced the
president with a declaration that "we are better than
this."
<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/photos/u-s-mass-
shootings-the-dark-side-of-american-exceptionalism-
slideshow/">
Obama readily conceded the executive steps will be
challenged in court, a prediction quickly echoed by
Republicans.
Chuck James, a former federal prosecutor who practices
firearms law at the firm Williams Mullen, said opponents
are likely to challenge Obama's authority to define what it
means to be "engaged in the business" of selling guns
beyond what's laid out in the law. The White House asserted
confidence Obama was acting legally, and said Justice
Department and White House lawyers had worked diligently
to ensure the steps were watertight.
Other new steps include 230 new examiners the FBI will hire
to process background checks, aiming to prevent delays
that enabled the accused gunman in Charleston, South
Carolina, to get a gun when the government took too long.
Obama is also asking the government to research smart gun
technology to reduce accidental shootings and asking
Congress for $500 million to improve mental health care.
Other provisions aim to better track lost or stolen guns and
prevent trusts or corporations from buying dangerous
weapons without background checks.
Obama's announcement carved a predictably partisan
fault line through the presidential campaign.
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, both competing for the
nomination from Obama's party, pledged to build on his
actions if elected. The Republican field formed a chorus of
voices vowing to annul the whole package, with Marco Rubio
claiming "Obama is obsessed with undermining the Second
Amendment."

"Rather than focus on criminals and terrorists, he goes
after the most law-abiding of citizens," said House Speaker
Paul Ryan, a Republican. "His words and actions amount to
a form of intimidation that undermines liberty."
