  Reports says that four(4) people have died of Ebola in Guinea’s southeastern region of Nzerekore, the first resurgence of the disease in five years. One of the victims in Guinea was a nurse who fell ill in late January and was buried on February 1, National Health Security Agency chief Sakoba Keita told local media. “Among those who took part in the burial, eight people showed symptoms: diarrhoea, vomiting and bleeding,” he said. “Three of them died and four others are in hospital.”

  A  30-year jail sentence has been given to one Mr Stephen Ngila,  who chopped off his wife’s hands for failing to bear him children. The court in Machakos, Machakos County, jailed Stephen Ngila, 39, for attempted murder for chopping off Jackline Mwende’s hands with a machete in 2016. Justice Brenda Bartoo said the court had taken note that the accused was not remorseful for the offence. Ngila was given  14 days to appeal the judgement.
