 Abia Governor’s National Assembly Liaison Officer Defects to APC The National Assembly Liaison Officer to Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, Mr. Iheanyi Chinasa (popularly known as Dogo), has defected from the Labour Party to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The defection, which signals growing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections, was announced on Sunday in a statement signed by Levinus Nwabughiogu, Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu. Chinasa aligned with the APC during a strategic meeting of party stakeholders held in Owerri, convened by Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, to strengthen the party’s structure in the South-East region. The move is considered significant because Chinasa held a strategic position in the Labour Party-led Abia State Government, serving as the link between the state and federal lawmakers at the National Assembly.

 Titanic life jacket sells for nearly $1 million at auction as rare artifacts draw record interest    A life jacket worn by a Titanic passenger during the 1912 disaster has sold at auction for 670,000 pounds ($906,000), far exceeding expectations as collectors continue to drive strong demand for rare artifacts from the ill-fated voyage. The preserved flotation device belonged to first-class passenger Laura Mabel Francatelli, who escaped the sinking liner aboard a lifeboat. The item, which also bears signatures from Francatelli and other survivors from the same lifeboat, was the standout piece in a sale of Titanic memorabilia and was purchased by an anonymous telephone bidder. Auction estimates had placed the life jacket between 250,000 and 350,000 pounds, but competitive bidding pushed the final price well beyond that range, including the buyer’s premium. Another major item in the same auction was a seat cushion from one of the Titanic’s lifeboats, which sold for 390,000 ...

 A Nebraska man who fatally struck a jogger is now suing the deceased man's estate claiming PTSD. Gavin Mass was driving along a dark road at approximately 4:45 a.m. on August 31st, 2025. As he traveled down the road, Gavin spotted a jogger, Bailey Miller, in reflective clothing. Gavin says he moved his vehicle in an attempt to give the jogger leeway. Unfortunately, this caused him to strike the jogger's husband, Anthony Miller, pictured below.   Anthony was allegedly jogging in the middle of the road, wearing dark clothing with no reflective gear.  Gavin Mass reportedly immediately stopped his vehicle and attempted life-saving measures until EMS arrived. Despite everyone's best efforts, Anthony Miller passed from his injuries.  No citations were issued in the fatal accident, and it was ultimately deemed that poor lighting and weather were the cause. Now, nearly a year later, Gavin Mass has filed a suit against the Anthony Miller estate. The suit filed in Lancas...
