-Godwin Ugeelu Amadu The whole Gidan Angalu community in Toto Local Government Area, Nasarawa State was thrown into chaos and uproar penultimate Tuesday with the ‘resurrection’ of a native doctor at the point of burial two days after he was certified dead. Godwin Ugeelu Amadu had been confirmed dead by doctors at a private hospital at about 6 am on September 5, 2022, following which he was covered up and wheeled into the mortuary as doctors and family members awaited the arrival of his Abuja-based eldest son, Mr. Jacob Amadu. Since the deceased native doctor was said to have left an instruction with his children that he must be buried not later than three days in the hospital before burial and he must not be embalmed with Formaline, arrangements were said to have been made for his burial two days later. To the utter shock of Amadu’s children, relatives and sympathisers, however, the native doctor rose from the casket he was kept in as arrangements were being made to take his corpse to the graveyard, causing the crowd that had gathered for his burial to run in different directions. The ‘resurrection’ of Amadu two days after his ‘death’ turned him into an overnight celebrity as people came from far and near to confirm what had happened. Sharing his experience in an interview with our correspondent, Amadu, who said he has abandoned his career as a native doctor to become an evangelist, recalled that before his sickness and eventual ‘death’ on September 5, he had enjoyed good health and fully attended to patients who came from far distances to his village. But sometime in July, he began to feel pains in his chest and legs. He said his legs were swollen and he tried treating himself as a native doctor but there appeared to be no improvement,

An elderly Swedish woman kept her adult son in captivity for 28 years, say police. According to prosecutors, the 70-year-old was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of unlawful deprivation of liberty and grievous bodily harm. Police have now sealed off the apartment in suburban Stockholm and are seeking witnesses. An unidentified female relative discovered the 41-years-old man. She entered the unlocked flat after learning that the man's mother had been admitted to a hospital over the weekend, according to Swedish newspaper Expressen. She told the paper that the apartment was like walking into a horror movie. The man was covered in "urine, dirt, and dust" and smelled "rotten." His body was pockmarked with wounds and pus, and he was missing all of his teeth. He was also unable to speak coherently. The relative called for an ambulance and the man was subsequently taken to a hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries, Stockholm prosecutor Emma Olsson told Reuters. Olsson told the news agency: "He's now in hospital... I know that he needed surgery." It is believed that the mother first imprisoned her child when he was around 13. He was taken out of school when he was in seventh grade, the relative told broadcaster SVT. She explained to SVT that the family was "dysfunctional," and the mother had become "overprotective" of her son after losing a child some years earlier. The mother denies the allegations. According to local police, an investigation is ongoing. Courtesy: Insider
