No fewer than two persons were said to have died while 12 others sustained various degrees of injuries in a road traffic accident, Tuesday, at Igieduma, along the Benin-Auchi highway in Uhunmwode Local Government Area of Edo state.

According to the Iruekpen Unit Commander of FRSC, Mr. Eshiet Udeme, the accident involving a Toyota Hiace bus travelling to Benin from the North occurred due to fatigue of the driver.
FRSC sources disclosed that the remains of the victims had been deposited in an unnamed hospital in the area.
The accident in Oben Community, outskirts of the state capital, resulting in the death of two brothers, Jude and Emeka Louis, occurred when the motorcycle they were riding from work allegedly had a head-on collision with a Volkswagen car.
Both motorcycle and car were allegedly trying to avoid killing the cow, which, however, sustained injuries from the accident. The cow died from the injuries that it sustained.
However, Public Relations Officer of the Edo State Police Command, Mr. Moses Eguaveon, confirmed the story, saying that the owner of the cow, which died from the injuries from the accident, has been arrested and detained to explain how his cow strayed on to the road to cause the accident.
Hum! Our road is now been used by cows instead of human beings. This is something else.

Mourinho - After Crashing Out In Semis “We Could Have Won, I Am Disappointed With Howard Webb”

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that the 4-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund last week, eventually decided who qualified for the final of the Champions League.
 
 “In football you win or you lose. I think we could have won. They had a couple of big chances but that was a consequence of the way we were playing late on where we risked everything,” Mourinho told ITV.
“Today we were a team with character and desire and we could have done it.
“I don’t forget the first match, we were very bad and we were punished because of the result of the first leg.”
The former Chelsea boss also expressed his disappointment in Howard Webb, who handled the fixture, claiming he should have sent Mats Hummels off.
“I am very sad and disappointed with one of my favourite referees, Howard Webb. It’s a red card for Mats Hummels, he saw it. In that moment he was not a referee, he was a human being. He thought ‘if I give a red card to Mats Hummels, he will miss the final’.”
Is the referee right or does Mats Hummels deserves the red card?

DELSU Student Used Gov. Uduaghan’s Phone to Upgrade His Result.

A 400-level medical student of Delta State University, DELSU, Abraka, in Delta State, has been arrested by the police for allegedly hacking into Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s phone.

Vanguard gathered, that the student, who failed in pharmacology and pathology course  sent a text message, purportedly from the governor, to the Vice Chancellor, Prof Eric Arubayi, requesting him to upgrade his scores.

The first text message to the vice chancellor on July 24 reads: “My able VC, Chief Tony Anenih called me in respect of one boy that just wrote pathology and pharmacology exam in 400 level Medicine. My able Prof, I want you to ensure that boy passes, you know I cannot afford to disappoint Chief Tony Anenih. I am  in a meeting. These are the details. CHS/04/05/88406.”

Thinking that the text message was actually from the governor, as it came from the number with which he saved the governor’s name, Uduaghan 1 in his phone, Prof Arubayi replied, asking for the student’s name to which the hacker replied: “His name is Imala W. Kelly. My able VC,  all I want is the boy to pass. Chief Tony Anenih has been calling.”

DELSU vice chancellor, Prof Arubayi, confirmed to Vanguard in his office, Monday, that he, in fact, received the said text message and contacted the governor after  the scores of students who scored between 48-49 in pharmacology was upgraded to 50 based on standing regulation of the university, “but he denied ever sending me such a text message.”

A university source said the student had been suspended, but as at Monday, he was seen attending lectures and had refused to vacate his room despite orders to that effect from the authorities.

Prof Arubayi laughed when told by Vanguard that he was being accused of examination malpractice, saying, “Did the student give me money to change his scores or is he a girl to say that she is my girlfriend, what was done was based on the regulation of the school,”

The poser by concerned stakeholders is: Assuming, but not conceding that the text message emanated from the governor, should the vice chancellor have altered the scores of a student that failed his examination?”

Can it be said that, the Vice Chancellor is involved in exam malpractice or what?
