 Colombia Declares National Emergency as Yellow Fever Outbreak Claims 34 Lives Colombia has declared a national health and economic emergency following a deadly yellow fever outbreak that has killed 34 people out of 74 confirmed cases since January. Health Minister Guillermo Jaramillo said the mosquito-borne virus, which carries a fatality rate of nearly 50%, has spread beyond traditional rural zones, now posing a wider threat. The hardest-hit area is Tolima, where cases jumped from four last September to 22 by mid-April. Authorities are urging mass vaccination and caution during Easter travel. Travelers in and out of the country may soon be required to present vaccination cards. President Gustavo Petro attributed the outbreak’s spread to climate change and warned unvaccinated citizens to avoid high-risk regions, especially the coffee belt. Meanwhile, the U.S. CDC has raised its yellow fever alert for parts of South America, including Colombia.

Court Left In Disarray As Man Tries Showing Judge His Manhood


The trial of a man accused of fraud had a dramatic twist on Monday, December 19, as he tried showing the Judge his manh00d as he claimed he was brutally assaulted by police officers from Central Police Station in Nairobi, Kenya after his arrest.

Clement Odera alias Hamisi was arraigned before Milimani Chief Magistrate Micheni Wendy over allegations of conspiracy to defraud a job seeker. 

It was alleged that between November 1, 2021, and October 25, 2022, he conspired with another person yet to be arrested to defraud one Christopher Nyalenda Sino of Ksh1,866,000 by falsely pretending that he would help him secure a job as a driver with a commissioner at the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).

However, during court proceedings today, Odera tried pulling down his trouser as he told the magistrate that his pr!vate parts were swollen due to the injuries he sustained after being beaten by police officers who allegedly forced him to admit the crime.

He said; ā€œYour honour, I was beaten by the police officers. If I show you my private parts, they are swollen. They beat me up and told me to accept the offence.ā€ 

Following the claim made, the magistrate ordered that he be detained at Central Police Station. Magistrate Wendy also directed the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) to facilitate his escort to the hospital for a medical examination.

The court also directed the investigating officer to avail a medical report to the court. Odera was subsequently released on a bond of Ksh500,000.
