65,000 Christians Begin Fasting & Prayer For Buhari

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) says about 65,000 of its members in Katsina State, have begun seven-day fasting and prayers for the quick recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Rev. Nelson Onyeka Chukwu, CAN Chairman in the state, who disclosed this to journalists on Monday in Katsina, said that the prayers would be offered at Mountain of Fire Church at Kofar-Kaura, Katsina and in six other Churches.

Three dogs were slowly cooked alive when their owner, 65, left them in a hot car.

A dog owner has admitted causing the death of three pets after leaving them in his car for around five hours on a warm day while he went to the gym.

Jonathan Theobald pleaded guilty to causing the Staffordshire bull terrier-type dogs unnecessary suffering after being charged under the Animal Welfare Act.

The 65-year-old left Daisy, Mitch and Rascal in the vehicle parked outside Vivacity Gym in Peterborough for around five hours on June 16, with temperatures peaking at around 19C (66F), the RSPCA said.

Two of the dogs had already died by the time he returned to his car and he tried to save the third, the animal charity said.
