Pope Francis Dies at 88 After Struggling With Illness
Pope Francis has passed away at the age of 88. This is according to an announcement from the Vatican. The pontiff, who had been battling a severe case of double pneumonia, died peacefully in his residence. It was confirmed in a statement shared via the Vatican’s official X account.
Cardinal Kevin Farrell broke the news on the Vatican’s TV channel. He said, “At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father.”
Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, he was elected on March 13, 2013, becoming the first Latin American to lead the Roman Catholic Church. His papacy was marked by both admiration and criticism.
While many praised his humility and push for reforms, he often found himself at odds with conservatives over his approach to tradition, and progressives who expected more sweeping changes to the centuries-old institution.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
