Two Convicted for Plot to Bomb Milimani Courts
Two suspected Al-Shabaab terrorists, Abadi Majit Hassan Adan and Mohammed Osman Nane, were Tuesday found guilty of plotting to bomb the Milimani Law Courts in 2018. Senior Principal Magistrate Zainabu Abdul convicted the pair after a lengthy trial.
Adan and Nane were part of a group of six individuals arrested in Merti, Isiolo County, while transporting weapons and explosives. The court found them in possession of seven projectile bombs, 36 hand grenades, five firearms, and other militant paraphernalia.
Prosecutors presented evidence linking the men to Al-Shabaab and their plan to attack the courthouse during a hearing for terror suspect Sheikh Guyo Gorsa.
Despite pleading not guilty, the court found sufficient evidence to convict Adan and Nane on nine counts related to terrorism and weapons possession. Two other suspects from the same group were acquitted, while a third was found guilty of forgery.
Sentencing for Adan and Nane is scheduled for February 27, 2023.
Kenyan Teacher Sets Record With 62-Hour Science Lesson
Rose Tata Wekesa, a dedicated teacher from St. Austin’s Academy Lavington, has etched her name in the annals of science education history by teaching the longest science class ever recorded. Her marathon session, clocking in at an astonishing 62 hours, 33 minutes, and 34 seconds, cemented her place as a champion for both science and pedagogy.
Wekesa faced a myriad of challenges in this journey to this record-breaking feat. The gruelling hours spent in the teaching laboratory demanded immense physical and mental stamina. She said she persevered with fatigue and the persistent urge for sleep.
“It was definitely not easy,” Wekesa admitted in an earlier interview. “But the thought of empowering younger generations with the wonders of science kept me going. To aspiring teachers, I say: blend your passion with patience, and the rewards will be immeasurable.”
Wekesa’s achievement is particularly significant as there was no existing record for the longest solo science lesson. Her efforts and dedication have opened a new chapter in the Guinness World Records, and her name will stand alongside other notable feats in the field of science education.
While the official ratification by Guinness World Records is pending, the organization’s strict policies ensure the integrity and authenticity of each record. “We assess all new titles against our values of integrity, respect, inclusiveness, and passion,” reads a statement on their website.
