 PRESS STATEMENT ON MY AMBASSADORIAL POSTING.  It gives me pleasure to announce the fact that Mr. President has graciously approved my posting as Nigeria's Ambassador-Designate to South Africa.    This came a few days after the initial posting to Germany was announced and after I made a formal representation to the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, that I was not comfortable with Germany for a number of personal reasons and given the fact that I had lived in Europe most of my life I would prefer to go to South Africa which is a country that I had never been to and for which I have so much interest.  I also expressed the fact that I would rather serve in a country that shares some of my convictions, beilefs and values when it comes to world affairs, that has the biggest economy in Africa, that has closer ties to Nigeria and that is more proximate to my political thinking when it comes to foreign affairs and a pan African vision.  I t...

 Police in Kenya exhume at least 33 bodies from a mass grave


Authorities in western Kenya said on Thursday they have exhumed at least 33 bodies from a mass grave, and the remains were believed to have been transferred there from a hospital morgue.


Homicide detectives exhumed the remains of eight adults and 25 children as well as dismembered body parts packed in gunny sacks from a mass grave at a church-owned cemetery in the town of Kericho, according to authorities.


“We were able to establish that these were bodies transferred from Nyamira District Hospital to a private cemetery in Kericho," Mohamed Amin, the head of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, told reporters.


Amin said detectives want to find out whether the bodies were disposed legally after being removed from a morgue.


Two people arrested


Under Kenyan law, hospitals and morgues are required to dispose bodies that are unclaimed for more than 14 days. The process requires authorisation by court order.


Government pathologists conducted autopsies on Thursday to determine the cause of death. The bodies' identities have not been revealed.


At least two people have been arrested.


Local media reported that unidentified people brought the bodies from elsewhere and hurriedly buried them. Some of the gravediggers are said to have alerted the police.


Other similar incidents


“We need authorities to conduct a thorough investigation,” said resident Brian Kibunja.


This is the third major mass-grave incident in Kenya over the last three years.


In 2023 police uncovered hundreds of bodies buried in a forest in the Kenyan coastal region of Kilifi. The bodies were exhumed from mass graves linked to a religious leader who starved his followers to death.


In 2024, authorities recovered nine bodies from a dumpsite in Nairobi, the capital.
