The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), on Wednesday, said it is premature for anyone to conclude that the men of the Nigerian Army used live ammunition on harmless protesters at the Lekki toll gate on October 20, 2020. He spoke during a Channels Television’s current affairs programme, ‘Politics Today’ monitored by The PUNCH. The Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Restitution for Victims of SARS Related Abuses and Other Matters which probed the EndSARS protests in the state last year recently submitted its findings to the state government, saying nine protesters died by gunshot wounds when soldiers stormed Lekki toll gate in October 20, 2020. The Justice Doris Okuwobi-led panel stated, “The atrocious maiming and killing of unarmed, helpless and unresisting protesters, while sitting on the floor and waving their Nigerian flags and while singing the National Anthem can be equated to a ‘massacre’ in context.” The Lagos State...

Fertility Hormonal Profile Test

1. Objective : The objective of the test was to measure the levels of key reproductive hormones in the blood to assess fertility status, diagnose reproductive disorders, and guide treatment for infertility. 2. Principle : The test was based on immunoassay techniques (such as ELISA or chemiluminescence), in which specific antibodies bound to targeted hormones like FSH, LH, prolactin, estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. The intensity of the color or light emitted during the reaction was directly proportional to the concentration of each hormone in the sample. 3. Materials: • Patient’s fasting blood sample (serum) • Hormonal assay kits for each hormone (FSH, LH, Prolactin, Estradiol, Progesterone, Testosterone, TSH if required) • Micropipettes and sterile tips • Centrifuge • Test tubes and racks • Incubator/water bath • Microplate reader or chemiluminescence analyzer • PPE (gloves, lab coat, mask) 4.

EXCLUSIVE: Stolen phone was encouraged by Network providers and security agents

Recently, the rate of phone thefts has increased drastically, all thanks to the negligence act of the telecommunication providers and the frustrating act of the Nigeria Police Force. Nigeria joined the mobile technology space of Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) from General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), 2G, 3G and 4G. Though, prior to the introduction of 2G - second generation - all mobile phone has IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. IMEI number is a 15-digit number unique to each device. Phone carriers and manufacturers share IMEI numbers to enable tracking of smartphones that may be stolen or compromised.
