    A 13-year-old teenage girl has been arrested by the Nigerian police for wearing an explosives-packed vest. The incident took place yesterday December 11th in Kano state while the teenage girl and her male accomplice were in the hospital where they were supposedly seeking medical attention. The police was called to the scene to foil their suicide bombing mission when a hospital staff got suspicious about them. The duo were immediately arrested by the police and taken to the station for interrogation.

    On searching the teenage girl, it was discovered she was wearing explosives under her hijab. It was later revealed by the police that the young suicide bomber was from Bauchi state and belongs to a “suicide team” that carried out an attack on a market in Kano, on Wednesday December 10th.

    Meet 10-Year-Old Boy Who Beat Woman 90 To Death

    Tristen Kurilla, is a 10-year-old boy who is currently in adult jail for brutally beating 90-year-old Helen Novak to death in October. He is one of the person to ever face an adult homicide charge in Pennsylvania and according to his public defender, Tristan is lonely, scared and misses his mother.

    The incident took place on October 11 when Tristen went to visit his grandfather, Anthony Virbitsky, 69, who has been caring for Novak at his home in Damascus Township, Pennsylvania.

    According to what Tristen told the police made him kill the woman, he said he got angry at Novak for yelling at him and asking him to get out of her room when he went there to ask her a question. Angered by Novak’s reaction, he he lost his temper, grabbed a cane and put it around Novak’s throat. He then pulled her with the cane and punched her five times in the throat and stomach while holding her down on her bed.

    “It’s shocking. I’m not sure there’s another state in the country where we would see this, a 10-year-old boy sitting in an adult county jail for two months,” she said. “This is not in any way to diminish the crime he is charged with, which is the most serious crime, but we don’t treat children in this country this way,” Marsha Levick, the chief counsel of the Juvenile Law Center in Philadelphia said about locking up the juvenile with adults.

    Africa Investigates: Bribery Rife In The Ugandan Justice System

    •  Emmanuel Mutaizibwa goes undercover in Uganda’s court system.
    •  Bribes demanded from the very first instance of reporting a crime.
    • Bribery revealed within the court itself, up to a senior magistrate.

    In the second season finale of Al Jazeera’s award-winning Africa Investigates, Emmanuel Mutaizibwa leads a team of reporters who go undercover inside Uganda’s court system to reveal the price of justice, exposing a chain of corruption that is rotting the country’s judiciary to its core.

    Although the Global Corruption Perception Index ranks Uganda at 142nd out of 170 countries, the country’s law courts used to be seen as free from graft. But a recent report from the country’s Anti Corruption Coalition has confirmed an increasingly widespread view – that corruption has seeped into one of the most sacred institutions of the land.

    The Al Jazeera investigation begins in Kasangati, a suburban town just north of the capital city, Kampala. The Magistrate’s Court in Kasangati plays a central role in the town, but Emmanuel and his team discover that it’s as much a place for buying and selling as the town’s market.

    Emmanuel meets a number of litigants who claim that court officials had swindled money out of them. The only way to substantiate these claims is for Emmanuel to take the plunge and dive into this murky court system.

    Posing as litigants and armed with undercover cameras, Emmanuel’s team climb a hierarchy of corruption, where they are forced to use bribe money to navigate past officials at every step.

    Money is demanded from the very first instance of reporting a crime and the practice reaches shocking heights within the court itself, from the police up to a senior magistrate.

    Emmanuel then confronts Uganda’s anti-corruption authorities with the video evidence.

    “Judicial corruption eats away at the fabric of society,” says Al Jazeera English’s executive producer Diarmuid Jeffreys. “If police and court officials can be bought off, then how can they ever be trusted? That’s why this story is so important. Emmanuel’s remarkable investigation was given extra weight by ordinary citizen activists; hard-working Ugandans determined to hold the corrupt to account and protect the principle that justice should be fair, impartial and honest. “

    Uganda: Temples of Injustice, the fifth and final episode of the second season of Africa Investigates, premiered on Wednesday, 10 November 2014, and repeats on 11 December at 11:30, 12 December at 05:30, 13 December at 18:30, and 14 December at 07:30 CAT.

    Ebola Fighters Named TIME’s Person Of The Year 2014

    The Ebola Fighters have been named TIME Magazine’s Person Of The Year 2014. The award goes to all the brave people all over the world that have worked tirelessly and selflessly in combating the deadly disease. “Anyone willing to treat Ebola victims ran the risk of becoming one,’ writes the editor of the influential magazine, Nancy Gibbs. And they are being recognised for their “tireless acts of courage and mercy.”

    Explaining why the huge number of people were chosen as person of the year, the magazine’s editor, Nancy Gibbs said” “Ebola is a war and a warning. The global health system is nowhere close to strong enough to keep us safe from infectious disease, and ‘us’ means everyone, not just those in faraway places where this is one threat among many that claim lives every day. The rest of the world can sleep at night because a group of men and women are willing to stand and fight.” Gibbs wrote.

    According to the most recent data from the World Health Organization, about 6,000 people have lost their lives to the disease since its outbreak. Another 11,000 confirmed cases are being treated in the three most hit West African countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea – while more than 6,000 people are suspected to have contracted the virus.

    While Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea are the most hit, countries like Nigeria, the United States, the United Kingdom and Spain have had their own isolated cases. Some of the patients died while receiving treatment while the others survived.
