Missouri Couple Charged with Child Abuse After Botched Home Circumcision
A Missouri couple, Tyler Wade Gibson and his wife, Bailey Alexus Gibson, have been charged with child abuse following a botched circumcision performed on a child at their home.
According to a probable cause affidavit from the Morgan County Prosecuting Attorney, Tyler has been charged with child abuse and performing an unauthorized surgery. Bailey is also facing child abuse charges.
The affidavit reveals that on November 27, Tyler “knowingly performed a circumcision” on a child under 18 at their residence, resulting in significant physical injury. Tyler, who is not a licensed medical practitioner, reportedly used a utility tool for the procedure. He admitted to police that he had no formal medical training but had conducted research and prayed a blessing before attempting the surgery.
Following the botched procedure, the child was initially taken to Lake Regional Hospital and later transferred to Columbia University Hospital for further treatment. Police were notified by the hospital shortly after midnight on November 28.
Tyler reportedly left the hospital against medical advice, claiming he and Bailey grew tired of waiting after four hours. He admitted to police that he was unprepared for the amount of bleeding and decided to take the child to the hospital after the situation escalated.
Court documents also state that Bailey admitted to assisting Tyler during the procedure.
Tyler appeared in court on December 3, while Bailey is scheduled for a court appearance on January 28, 2025. Both face serious charges as authorities continue to investigate the incident.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
