Residents of the area woke up this morning to the spectacle of a man hanging from the pole. They believe he is part of some cable-stealing syndicate whose activities often lead to intermittent power cuts in the community. Residents have given the name of the deceased as Fatao and believe he was trying to cut a 33kv cable which connects two pylons.   It was reported that the deceased was attempting to steal copper cables from live electric wires in a sub-station. He said residents claim they heard a loud sound in the early morning around 2:30 and started experiencing fluctuation of electricity voltage. “When we came out from our houses to check what exactly is the cause of the fluctuation, we saw somebody lying on the top of the electricity pylon screaming, I was afraid so I hurriedly went back to the house and slept,” one resident told Erastus. “Fatao is ...

Dana White ‘Working On’ Ex-WWE Star CM Punk’s Next Fight ​ UFC president Dana White intends to give former WWE star CM Punk “another shot” in the Octagon. White told The Associated Press he is “working on” a second fight for Punk (0-1), whose birth name is Phil Brooks. He made his mixed martial arts debut at UFC 203 in September 2016, and was badly outclassed in a first-round submission loss to Mickey Gall. At that time, White admitted Punk’s next fight “probably shouldn’t be in the UFC.” Before his unsuccessful MMA debut, he adamantly stated he intended to fight more than once and was not simply looking for a one-off for financial reasons.

Institutions are grappling with a shortage of tutors with PhDs as some retire while others leave for other jobs. CUE data shows more than half of the 10,350 lecturers do not have PhDs and that 4,394 students – or one per cent of the t...
