 Peter Obi has blamed hunger and systemic failures for the recent spate of stampedes across the country.  Scores of persons were dead, and many others wounded in the tragic incidents in Ibadan, Oyo State; Okija in Anambra and another one in the nation’s capital of Abuja. The stampedes happened in a space of five days with the last two occurring on Saturday morning during food distribution campaigns. Obi, who was the Labour Party (LP)’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, said the incidents underline the rising hunger in the country which has led to desperation. “I am deeply saddened and distressed by the tragic loss of lives in desperate searches for food,” Obi, who is a former governor of Anambra State, wrote in a post on his X account Saturday afternoon. “While I will not cast blame but instead appreciate the organizers of these respective events for their kind gestures in providing palliatives and support to society, especially the poor, these tragedies reflect the...

SHOOTING AT LAS VEGAS HOOKAH BAR LEAVES 1 DEAD,2 CRITICALLY INJURED.(PHOTO).


A shooting at a hookah lounge in Las Vegas led to one death and two who are critically wounded.

The Associated Press reports that 14 people were shot in total when someone opened fire on Saturday morning at around 3:15 a.m. It appears that the incident happened during a party when two people started arguing, ending in shots being fired, according to Capt. Dori Koren. The rest of the victims are in stable condition..


”It’s a fairly large scene so it’s going so take some time to go through the entire scene,” Koren said. “We’re not really sure exactly what kind of weapon was used, or exactly if there were two shooters. We believe there was an exchange of gunfire, but we’re still looking into all of [the] information.”

Once arriving at the scene, officers tended to the victims’ wounds with tourniquets and CPR, which Koren said, “definitely made a significance in this case.”

At this point, no one has been arrested for the shooting. Authorities haven’t released a description of the suspect or suspects, and don’t think anyone else is at risk. The shopping plaza where the hookah lounge is located is still taped off so that officers can continue looking for evidence. 
Nevada Rep. Dina Titus took to Twitter to share her condolences. “My thoughts are with the victim, their loved ones, and all those injured in last night’s senseless shooting at a hookah lounge. We must do more to end gun violence.”
