Man Kills Himself In Hospital Room After Wife Gives Birth
“Family members said he has been distraught recently,” Houston police spokesman Mr. John Cannon said on August 12, 2013, Monday.
The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, shot himself in a private room at Willowbrook Methodist Hospital in Northwest Houston on Sunday afternoon, Mr. Cannon said. The medical staff tried to save his life, but died shortly after being transported to another hospital.
His wife, who gave birth earlier on Sunday, was not injured, and Mr. Cannon said the baby was not in the room at the time.
Although Texas has a law allowing licensed firearms owners to carry concealed weapons, they are prohibited in many places, including hospitals.
Police did not know what kind of gun was used. A spokesperson from the Houston Methodist Hospital would not comment on the incident.
How Family Of Four, Neighbour Were Burnt In Early Morning Fire In Lagos
The fire, as gathered, started at about 1.15 am in a three-bedroom flat located on 9, CH street.
Eye witnesses said one of the victims identified simply as Aunty Philo, alerted
neighbours with the shout of fire.
But before sympathizers could rush to the flat, the fire had reportedly spread to the entire building, in the process of which the roof fell on Philo, burning her beyond recognition.
Efforts by youths in the area to safe the situation failed.
An eye witness who spoke on condition of anonymity told Vanguard: “We saw Aunty Philo trying to force the burglary proof open but she could not. At that time, we tried to break the wall to rescue her when all of a sudden the roof fell on her.
“When we eventually succeeded in pulling down the burglary proof, we saw roasted members of the family on the floor. We could not do anything again but had to leave because of thick smoke.”
Identities of the victims were given as Mrs Anwuzia, said to be in her fifties, Ekene (16), Emeka (7) and Nwike (30). The mother of three whose husband was said to be away, reportedly returned from a church programme in Ghana the previous day.
Her husband, a Pastor, was said to have travelled to Aba, Abia State for an undisclosed assignment.
Fire service men were said to have arrived the scene later and succeeded in putting out the fire, but the harm had been done.
Contacted, Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Mr Rasaq Fadipe, confirmed the death of five persons, saying that news of the incident was received at about 1.39 am
He said: “We had to mobilise a truck of 10,000 water capacity from Ikotun to the scene. On reaching there the fire was still on. Because of the magnitude, we had to mobilise another truck from Agege with another 10,000 litres to compliment the first one, before the fire was contained. [Vanguard]
Strange: Cameroon's President Orders Pentecostal Churches Closed
But Pentecostal pastors said the move is evidence of Biya's insecurity about the churches' criticism of the government.
Biya is using the military to permanently shut down all Pentecostal church denominations in the nation's capital, Yaounde, and the North West Regional capital, Bamenda, which have the largest Christian populations in Cameroon.
More than 50 churches have now been closed, with the government targeting nearly 100 in eight other regions.
"We will get rid of all the so-called Christian Pentecostal pastors who misuse the name of Jesus Christ to fake miracles and kill citizens in their churches. They have outstretched their liberty," Mbu Anthony Lang, a government official in Bamenda, told CNN Wednesday.
Nearly 500 Pentecostal churches operate in Cameroon, but fewer than 50 are legal, he added.
On Sunday, a 9-year-old Christian girl collapsed and died during a prayer session in Winners' Chapel, a Pentecostal church in Bamenda. The girl's mother, Mih Theresa, told CNN Wednesday that the pastor intended to cast out the numerous demons that were in control of her daughter's life.
"I want the government to stop these pastors who use mysterious powers to pull Christians and kill then for more powers. All my children have ran away from the Catholic Church in search for miracles, signs and wonders," she told CNN while holding back tears.
Another Christian, Mveng Thomas, said his marriage ended abruptly when a Pentecostal pastor ordered his wife to dissolve their union. He said the pastor described him as "an unrepentant devil."
Pastors marched against the government's decision Wednesday in Bamenda and Douala. Pastors said the Biya government sees the mass proliferation of churches as a threat.
Boniface Tum, a bishop of the Christian Church of God in Yaounde, said that Biya, who has been president since 1982, is becoming insecure about the freedom of speech within these churches.
"Authorizing only the Catholic, Presbyterian, Baptist, Muslim, and a few other churches, is a strict violation of the right to religion," Tum added.
Targeted Pentecostal Christians in Bamenda are transforming their private homes into churches.
North West Regional governor Adolphe Lele L'Afrique said Wednesday that police had discovered the abduction of 30 children under age 18 by a pastor in Bamenda. The pastor said he wanted to remove the children from a bad society, Lele added.
Government officials also say that some pastors convince congregants that they do not need professional medical treatment for their ailments.
"How can a pastor say the sick needs no medical doctor? We need sanity in our Christian lives," Nyang Blaise, a youth leader for Biya's ruling party, CPDM, told CNN.
One woman said her mother was refusing cancer treatments because of her pastor.
"My mother's condition is worsening after doctors confirmed she had cancer. She is dying silently, and yet we cannot persuade her to see a doctor for proper treatment, against her pastor's wish," Deborah Tanyi said.

The man, who was only identified by the locals as Emmanuel, is said to have been a carpenter who was having mental problems, adding that he was always quiet. Kenya power staff arrived at the scene but were forced to wait for crime police officers for three hours before removing the body.
The workers were forced to switch off power at the zone so as to retrieve the body from the power lines.
May his soul rest in peace.Amen.
