Hemophilia

Blood contains many proteins called clotting factors that can help to stop bleeding. People with hemophilia have low levels of either factor VIII (8) or factor IX (9). The severity of hemophilia that a person has is determined by the amount of factor in the blood.

Menace of Fulani herdsmen in Nsukka: Lawyers to the rescue

-
When a situation gets out of hand, different measures could be devised to bring such situation under control. And nothing could be spared and no one overlooked in ensuring that positive solutions are found. Such is the situation in Igbo-Etiti LGA of Enugu State, where Fulani herdsmen and their cattle have allegedly wreaked a lot of havoc in the area, with the herdsmen allegedly committing various crimes ranging from armed robbery, rape to kidnapping. Aku Diewa Lawyers’ Forum (ADLAWF) in Igbo-Etiti L.G.A., Enugu State, has therefore sought legal and peaceful means to bring these nefarious activities to an end.
