60-yr-old Church elder dies after spending night with 19-yr-old lover in lodging room
A 60-year-old man, purportedly an elder of a local church, was discovered lifeless in a guesthouse in the Kapsoit area of Belgut sub-county, Kericho County.
The unsettling incident came to light on Wednesday night when the man’s body was found in one of the guest rooms.
Preliminary investigations have unveiled that the deceased had checked into the room accompanied by an unidentified woman said to be 19-year-old on Wednesday evening.
However, what adds a layer of mystery to this unfortunate discovery is the fact that the woman, who took the initiative to report the incident, is now missing and cannot be located.
The head of police in Belgut sub-county, Mr. Charles Kibati, confirmed the incident, noting that the deceased showed no visible injuries.
Nevertheless, a used condom was found beside the body, raising further questions and prompting ongoing investigations.

This unsettling occurrence shows the complexities surrounding the case, with authorities grappling to piece together the sequence of events.
As the investigation unfolds, the community awaits answers, and speculations loom about the nature of the relationship between the deceased church elder and the missing woman.

Disabled Nigerian faces deportation after 38 years in UK
Disabled Nigerian faces deportation after 38 years in UK
A disabled Nigerian man, Anthony Olubunmi George, is currently facing a deportation threat after living in the United Kingdom for 38 years.
The Guardian UK reports the 61-year-old as saying he arrived in the UK from Nigeria in 1986 when he was 24 years of age.
He said he had no criminal convictions and had not left the country since 1986.
George has reportedly made several applications to keep staying in the UK, which were rejected by the Home Office.
The most recent rejection came on May 7 with officials saying “unfortunately this is not something that is considered an exceptional circumstance”.
Lawyer speaks
Naga Kandiah, George’s current lawyer, attributed his problems to his previous legal representation.
Kandiah has also lodged an appeal against the latest refusal.
“My client has been living in limbo for 38 years, with no family, has suffered two strokes and has no family left in Nigeria,” the lawyer said.
“His situation is not just because of Home Office policies but also because of poor representation by previous solicitors who failed to uphold professional integrity and ethical standards.”

@mr_stitch01 and @igwedip questioned the source of the bandits’ drones, suggesting possible sponsorship by wealthy individuals. @Godmvde pointed out the use of drones by Boko Haram for tracking Nigerian soldiers, emphasizing the need to cut off support for terrorism.
@Aminpac raised doubts about the identification of the individuals in the video as bandits, while @oil_shaeikh questioned the group’s profiling without evidence. @carliid warned against government knee-jerk regulations on drone usage, advocating for more effective tracking methods instead.
@legenduryjrini lamented the reversal of roles where bandits possess drones instead of the army, likening the situation to conflicts in other countries. @Gracepikin001 highlighted the bandits’ possible connections with external groups experienced in drone surveillance, posing a significant challenge for the military.
The video underscores growing concerns about security and the need for comprehensive strategies to address emerging threats posed by technological advancements among criminal elements.
