Video shows armed Police giving youths high-speed chase with Korope bus

In a viral video on social media, a group of Nigerian police officers in a ‘Korope’ bus was seen engaging in a high-speed chase with a group of youths in a vehicle, reminiscent of scenes from action movies. The incident unfolded in an undisclosed place in Southwest Nigeria. The video footage depicts a car carrying three young men attempting to evade the pursuing police officers, who were armed and making use of a “korope” bus. The motorist seemed to believe that the police officers intended to assault them, prompting their effort to quickly enter a gated estate to find safety.

However, the police officers managed to catch up with the vehicle before it could reach the security gate. A dramatic moment from the video shows the security personnel disembarking from the korope bus and stopping the car just as it was about to enter the gated estate. As they halted the vehicle, one of the passengers can be heard asking the officers the reason for the dangerous chase and why they were being accosted in what was perceived as an unprofessional manner. Netizens Reactions… @tboysquare said; “Maybe it was a stolen vehicle or they’re armed robberies cuz I don’t see why they’ll be chasing someone like this.” @AriDonFX1 said; “This police people Dey give armed robbery vibes 💔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I don’t know if Dey are give them training once in a while 💔🤣🤣see that man eyes 👀 🤣🤣cash out don secure.” @sami_oamen said; “Why did the video stop there chai, I heard all of us here are military people….I missed the drama.” @Jefe_says said; “All these harassment, assault and killing won’t end until Nigerians start fighting back. The power in the people is stronger than the people in power.” @elmannygram said;  “Policemxn are very wícked and hatèful people. They hate to see people win. You cannot look good you cannot live good without you being a suspect. The only way you’re safe on the street is to look like a beggar with torn clothes.” @Abigailsam18 said; “@PoliceNG @Princemoye1 does it mean that the Nigerian police force can no longer afford official vehicles for the use of their staffs on duty?” @laraGold143 said; “Police harassment is never justifiable. Ask them to recite the national anthem and watch them get an impersonator for that. Disgrace!.” See below;

Woman breaks Guinness Records after giving birth to 9 babies

A young mother has broken the Guinness World Record after giving birth to nine healthy babies at once. Halima Cissé, a Malian mother and her husband, Abdelkader Arby, welcomed the nonuplets on May 4, 2021.

Photo credit: BBC The Guinness World Record says that doctors initially thought Halima would deliver seven babies, but two more babies were detected when she was flown to Ain Borja Clinic in Morocco for specialist care. The nonuplets were delivered prematurely through a caesarean section in the 30th week of Halima’s pregnancy. The babies comprise five girls and four boys, and their names are Adama, Oumou, Hawa, Kadidia, Fatouma, Oumar, Elhadji, Bah, and Mohammed VI. The BBC reports that the children and their mother have returned to Mali after their stay in Morocco. Their father said: “They all have different characters. Some are quiet, while others make more noise and cry a lot. Some want to be picked up all the time. They are all very different, which is entirely normal.” The Malian government contributed to the mother’s care and ordered that she be flown to Morocco when she was pregnant. The father, Abdelkader Arby, has said that caring for the children is a lot of work. “It’s a lot of work but Allah, who gave us this blessing, will help us in their upbringing and taking care of them,” he said. The parents already had a 3-year-old girl before the nonuplets were born. The birth of the nonuplets has captured the attention of people around the world, with many expressing their amazement at the mother’s ability to carry and deliver nine babies at once. The Guinness World Record has confirmed that Halima Cissé’s delivery of nonuplets is the first known instance of a woman giving birth to nine babies at once.
