 Ohio mom insists 'I love my children' as she's sentenced over death of 2-year-old daughter allegedly abused by her fiancé More than a year after the death of her 2‑year‑old daughter, Lilith, Tien Hawkins was sentenced in Ohio for charges tied to the child’s abuse. The 26‑year‑old mother pleaded guilty to child endangerment and child abuse, leading prosecutors to drop more serious counts such as murder and manslaughter.  Judge Brett Spencer accepted a plea deal that gave her five years in prison, with credit for time already served, followed by up to three years of supervision.  During the emotional hearing, Hawkins broke down in tears as her lawyer argued she had been unaware of the abuse allegedly carried out by her fiancé, Brian Moser, while she worked to support the family. Investigators revealed that Hawkins had previously warned Moser about hitting Lilith too hard, particularly during potty training, when he punished the toddler for accidents.

 El-Rufai: FG Now Paying More For Fuel Subsidy, But Many Nigerians Don’t Know


Former governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, says fuel subsidy is back, but many Nigerians do not know this.


Fielding question from newsmen in Maiduguri , Borno State capital, on Monday, El-Rufai said the federal government is now paying more than before.

He observed that the packages of support that would reduce the impact of fuel subsidy were not effective, hence reversal of the policy.


In his inaugural speech, President Bola Tinubu had announced the removal of fuel subsidy, saying its payment was no longer justifiable.


But El-Rufai, who said he was in support of the policy, said the government had to make necessary adjustments.


“Fuel subsidy is another policy that has been implemented by the president, it’s the right policy. I always supported withdrawing fuel subsidy.”


“But, in the course of implementation as you can see the government has now realized that the subsidy has to be back because right now, we are paying a lot of money for subsidy even more than before.


“This is because the impact has been seen and the packages of support that would reduce the impact have not been so effective in reducing the impact, so the federal government is back now subsidizing Petrol.”


He said many people don’t know that fuel subsidy is back, “but, if they want to know whether we are subsidizing or not, they should compare the price of petrol and diesel because petrol should be more expensive than diesel but diesel is priced above a thousand naira while petrol is at N600 per liter.


“So, we are still subsidizing Petrol because the government has realised that they way it implemented the fuel subsidy initially required some adjustments. That’s what I keep saying about policy and policy pragmatism,” he said.


El-Rufai had earlier presented a paper titled: “Leadership and Public Policy: Navigating Challenges and Lessons”, at the Capacity-building workshop for Senior Government Officials of Borno State.
