 BALA MOHAMMED'S CANDOR: A LESSON IN STATESMANSHIP FOR THE SOUR GRAPES OPPOSITION By Okoi Obono-Obla  Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State deserves unreserved commendation for his rare candour and statesmanship. In an era where opposition politics in Nigeria has been reduced to perpetual wailing, cynicism and playing to the gallery, Bala Mohammed has risen above partisanship to speak truth to power in the most patriotic sense.

2 MEN ARRESTED AFTER CAUSING A TRAIN TO DERAIL IN THE UNITED STATES. (PHOTO).


 2  Illinois men arrested after causing a train to derail. 


An engineer from Union Pacific noticed 2 men near a derailing device at the crossing in the 100 block of Sanitation Road near Bartonville, Illinois. Moments later the train went off the track, burying its wheels in gravel. No one was injured, however a crane was needed to right the train and they estimate damages at around $80,000.


Burtonsville police were able to quickly locate 20-year-old Jimmy Johnson and 18-year-old Caleb Finley walking near the derailment site. After questioning, the two admitted to intentionally moving the derailing device, so they could watch the train derailing.


The two were arrested and charged with criminal damage to property, criminal trespass and reckless conduct.
