 Kaduna Begins Free Eye Screening For 1,000 Residents The Kaduna State Government, in partnership with Sightsavers and other stakeholders, has commenced a free eye screening exercise aimed at reaching 1,000 residents across the state. The exercise took place on Thursday at Gonin-Gora in Chikun Local Government Area as part of activities marking the 2026 World Sight Day, celebrated under the theme, “Love Your Eyes.” Speaking during the programme, a Consultant Ophthalmologist and Senior Lecturer at Kaduna State University, Dr Stanley Bulus, cautioned residents about the dangers of glaucoma, describing it as a “silent thief of sight.” Bulus explained that the screening exercise was designed to identify eye conditions early and provide treatment or referrals where necessary.

 Allegations against Michael Jackson: Why his "second family" remained silent


Earlier this year, new allegations surfaced against Michael Jackson, years after his death in 2009. 


Four members of the Cascio family, once close to the singer and calling themselves his “second family,” filed a lawsuit accusing him of inappropriate conduct. 


In an interview with The New York Times, they explained that they were groomed to defend Jackson publicly and felt pressured to deny any wrongdoing, even to their parents. 


Some only recognized troubling patterns after watching the 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland, which featured similar accusations. One sibling, Eddie, described feeling “brainwashed” and taught to protect Jackson at all costs.


The lawsuit also references financial dealings between the siblings and Jackson’s estate. In 2020, they reportedly reached a settlement worth about $16 million over five years, but payments stopped in 2025. 


After demanding further compensation and being denied, the siblings pursued legal action. They claim they were “deprogrammed” from years of loyalty and manipulation, which had kept them silent. 


Their accounts suggest Jackson convinced them that revealing their relationship would ruin both his life and theirs.


Jackson’s estate has strongly denied the accusations, maintaining his innocence. Attorney Marty Singer dismissed the lawsuit as a “desperate attempt to get money,” arguing that the siblings had defended Jackson for decades and only changed their stance after the negative publicity surrounding Leaving Neverland. 


Court documents from the estate’s side claim the siblings are using false allegations to pressure for more financial gain. 


The case highlights the ongoing controversy surrounding Jackson’s legacy, with conflicting narratives of loyalty, alleged misconduct, and financial disputes continuing long after his passing.
