Gov. Bagudu reacts to death of three boarding students from suspected food poisoning

Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State, has mourned the death of three secondary school girls suspected to have died of food contaminated with poison at Mega Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School.
The Principal of the school, Hajiya Lami Abubakar, while briefing the Governor during a condolence visit, said the food consumed by the deceased students was not a school meal, but prepared from home by parents of one of the girls.
“The leaves of the food delicacy known in Hausa as (Rama) was taken to the school by the parents during the visiting hours, which might have been contaminated,” she said.
Abubakar further informed the Governor that the meal was taken by the deceased students consecutively for three days running before they fell sick which led to their death after being hospitalised.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Bagudu also condoled with the staff and students of the school as well as the parents of the girls and prayed God to grant them mercy.
He expressed his heartfelt sympathy on the tragedy and prayed to God against recurrence.

Abubakar was born on March 28, 1973, in Zaria, Kaduna state, to inter-ethnic parents from Edo and Kano states.

Theresa May to Resign as UK PM June 7: “I have done everything I can”

Britain’s Prime Minister  Theresa May  has said she’ll step down from her position and as U.K. Conservative Party leader on June 7. She said this on Friday at a press conference in front of 10 Downing Street. May said she’s resigning after she’s tried, three times, to make Brexit a reality. “Ever since I first stepped through the door behind me as prime minister I have striven to make the United Kingdom a country that works not just for the privileged few but for everyone, and to honor the result of the referendum,” May said. She added: “I have done everything I can to convince MPs to back this deal. Sadly, I have not been able — I tried three times.” “I believe it was right to persevere….it is now clear to me that it is in the best interest of the country for a new PM to lead that effort,” May said. May held back tears throughout the speech and was visibly tearful as she concluded her speech.
