Dozens of people, including at least two children, were killed when a Russian passenger jet crash-landed at a Moscow airport, bursting into flames on impact and bouncing down the runway. Forty-one people died when Aeroflot plane made the emergency landing Sunday at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, said Elena Markovskaya, a member of the country's Investigative Committee. Initial reports said the Aeroflot Superjet 100 was flying from Moscow to Murmansk, a Russian city in the Arctic circle, when an emergency on board forced it to turn back.

Of the 78 people aboard the plane, including five crew members, thirty-seven people survived, Markovskaya told reporters at...

President Muhammadu Buhari has accused the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, of not possessing the statutory educational qualification to contest the February 23, 2019 election. But in a reply filed on his behalf on Wednesday by his lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), the President said he possessed more than the constitutionally required educational qualifications to contest the election.

A bus driver was hit on the head by a RRS tow-man. This incident happened along highway of Mowe. The bus driver was trying to change his punctured Tyre when the RRS  arrived and claimed he didn't have adequate safety tools. They took into action by trying to tow the bus to their station after so much pleading from the driver. The tow-man was so full of him self that he started a physical combat with the driver because he knows he has the backup of the RRS (road safety)men. The tow-man arrogantly took a stone and hit it on the driver's head which lead to the driver collapsing and the RRS men didn't take any action on what the man did instead they were still bent on towing the bus probably to extort money from him. The passengers couldn't take it easy because that was too cruel of them. One of the RRS boss even wanted to destroy a lady's phone because she wanted to make a call. The RRS men later promised to board a bus for everyone to go to their respective...
