VANDAL CRUSHED TO DEATH UNDER COLLAPSED TRANSMISSION TOWER IN DELTA STATE A suspected vandal has been crushed to death under a collapsed vandalised transmission tower along the 330kV Ughelli-Benin transmission line in Delta State. The incident was discovered during a line patrol carried out by the Delta Sub-Region, Lines Maintenance Department of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), following the tripping of the line on earth fault on the Ughelli - Benin 330kV Transmission line. A statement by the TCN indicates that the patrol team traced the fault to Tower 101, which had collapsed. The body of the suspected vandal was found crushed between the tower members. Tower 101 on the adjacent Ughelli - Sapele 330kV transmission line had also been vandalized.
Yesterday tuesday,91 year old Zimbabwe President,Robert Mugabe read out a wrong speech at the opening of parliament,an error which the main opposition quickly used to question whether he is of sound mind.Mugabe who is termed as the oldest ruler in Africa since 1980,delivered the same speech he gave on August 25,pinning his hopes on China t help revive Zimbabwe's struggling economy.Mugabe finished the speech without interruption and his spokesman blamed officials,adding that the president would read the correct speech at a later date.His spokesman George Charamba said ''The mix up happened in his secretarial office.Therefore the delivery in Parliament should be set aside''.But the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change {MDC},which is critical of Mugabe's long rule,said the blunder called into question his fitness to hold office.Mugabe shows no visible signs of illness and has denied reports that he suffers from prostate cancer,and he also dismissed a fall at Harare airport on 4th of April as a simple slip.
