Israel Appoints Prophet T.B Joshua As Ambassador For Tourism

The Founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet T.B Joshua has been appointed as the Ambassador of Tourism in Israel by the Israeli government.

The award is coming after the Prophet held a two-day event in June, 2019, at the Amphitheatre of Mount Precipice, in the historic hometown of Jesus Christ.

Although the event, was fiercely criticised by local religious figures and nearly faced cancellation due to the intensity of attacks, it attracted thousands of religious tourists from across the globe.

Hundreds of people had protested against the event, they had marched through the city in Northern Israel with placards condemning the coming event and shouting; “Let this witch get away from us!”

A group of religious figures also visited the venue of Mount Precipice af­ter the event and carried out a ‘cleansing ritual’ with wa­ter, leaves and salt.

However, despite the several setbacks and criticisms sur­rounding the event, it was held successfully.

The event, which was broadcasted on local tele­vision throughout Israel and featured in The New York Times and Reuters, attracted the attention of Israel’s Min­istry of Tourism.

This prompted the Israeli government to give the Nigerian clergyman an award, as they made him a ‘Tourism Goodwill Ambassador’.

Mali coup leaders want three-year military rule

The junta that seized power in Mali wants a military-led transitional body to rule for three years and has agreed to release ousted president Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, a source in a visiting West African delegation said Sunday.

“The junta has affirmed that it wants a three-year transition to review the foundations of the Malian state. This transition will be directed by a body led by a soldier, who will also be head of state,” a source in the Ecowas delegation in capital Bamako told AFP.

“The government will also be predominantly composed of soldiers” under the junta’s proposal, the source said on condition of anonymity.

The source added that the junta has agreed to “free president Keita”, who has been detained along with other political leaders since the coup on Tuesday, and he “will be able to return to his home” in Bamako.

“And if he wants to travel abroad for treatment, that is not a problem,” the Ecowas source said.

Prime minister Boubou Cisse, who has been detained with Keita at a military base outside the capital where the coup began, would be moved to a secure residence in the city, the source said.

A junta official confirmed to AFP the decisions on the fate of Keita and Cisse, as well as that “the three-year transition would have a military president and a government mostly composed of soldiers”.

The coup followed months of protests calling for Keita to resign as public discontent with the government grew over the country’s brutal Islamist insurgency and collapsing economy.

While it was met by international condemnation, thousands of opposition supporters celebrated the president’s ouster in the streets of Bamako.

The junta has said it “completed the work” of the protesters and has vowed to stage elections “within a reasonable time”.

However Mali’s neighbours have called for Keita to be reinstated, saying the purpose of the visit by the delegation from the regional ECOWAS bloc was to help “ensure the immediate return of constitutional order”.

Tuesday’s coup was Mali’s second in eight years, and has heightened concern over regional stability as its jihadist insurgency that now threatens neighbouring Niger and Burkina Faso.

The incident reportedly happened in the Baruwa, Ipaja area of the state, The Punch reports.

The widower, whose family claimed suffers from a mental illness, allegedly told the police that he was conducting virginity tests on the daughter.

Taiwo was said to have allegedly molested his daughter for the first time sometime in 2018, when she was 13 years old. It was learnt that the father had been constantly molesting the girl by dipping his fingers into her private parts in their rented apartment at Baruwa.

Folake was said to have reported his father to their landlord who warned Taiwo to desist from the act. But when he allegedly continued the girl report him to her uncle.

It was while the uncle was trying to handle the case discreetly, a neighbour got wind of it and escalated it.

The matter was reported to Police Station and Taiwo was arrested last Saturday. The Coordinator of a child rights group following up on the case, Advocates for Children and Vulnerable Persons Network, Mr Ebenezer Omejalile, said that Taiwo claimed to have suspected Folake of going out with men and decided to conduct “a virginity test” on her with his finger.

He said: “The girl said she had been constantly abused by her father since she was 13. He is about 40 years old and a retired electricity worker.

“But the survivors turned a deaf ear to it and kept doing it to the extent that whenever he was on night duty, he went to the office with girl to keep having her to his satisfaction. “The man claimed that he saw some pictures in her daughter’s phone and suspected that she was wayward. He said he did not have sex with her but only used his finger to check if she is a virgin or not.”
