The story of a boy turning into stone sounds like a fairytale, but for 11-year-old Ramesh Kumari, this story is a reality. He lives with an extremely rare skin condition that left him deformed and barely able to move, but his life was changed by a celebrity’s generosity and will to make a difference.

His story is shocking, but the help he receives from the most unexpected of places is truly inspiring. Let’s read more about him.

#1 Ramesh Was Like Any Other Baby At Birth

Ramesh Kumari was born a normal baby in Nepal, but 15 days after birth something peculiar began to happen. Ramesh began growing hard, black scales were appearing on top of his skin and his mother was all terrified.

#2 Doctors Claimed It Was Simply A Fungal Infection

Ramesh’s mother Nar took him to doctor and they told her there was nothing they could do. It turns out it was not a simple fungal infection, but something far more serious.

#3 His Condition Is Extremely Rare And Debilitating

Ramesh was eventually diagnosed with a genetic condition called harlequin ichthyosis. It is a rare genetic disorder that causes a child’s skin to grow hard and thick, and it requires intensive treatment and care.

#4 His Parent’s Couldn’t Afford His Care

Ramesh’s parents, Nar and Nanda, couldn’t possibly afford the necessary treatments to cure his condition. All they could do was make their young son as comfortable as possible. He could hardly move or speak, and it was almost impossible to make friends. Ramesh needed a miracle.

#5 One Star Saved The Day When She Came To Town

British soul singer Joss Stone was having a concert in Kathmandu, and she decided to pay Ramesh a visit. Little did he know his entire life would be changed.

#6 The Joss Stone Foundation Was Raising Money For Ramesh

Her concert in Kathmandu was being held to raise money for the little boy’s treatments. The singer even visited Ramesh and brought him gifts, a charitable act by a generous celebrity.

#7 The Little Boy’s Condition Began To Improve

Ramesh was in bad shape when he started treatment, but with the generosity of the Joss Stone Foundation, he is expected to be able to walk again. This is a remarkable act of selflessness by a celebrity, and her help has changed this young boy’s life forever.

Police arrest bull for killing a woman in Kenya

Police Arrest Bull For Killing Woman In Kenya

A bull has been detained at the Khayega police post in Kakamega County, Kenya after it trampled a woman to death.

The owner of the bull was also arrested and is currently in custody as police carry out investigations into the incident.

The bull nicknamed ‘Tusker’ reportedly broke loose and charged at three women from Lutoto village and trampled one of them to death as the owner, Josphat Bilimo was driving it back home from a match last Friday.

The 60-year-old woman identified as Felistus Luda is reported to have been attacked by the bull as she attempted to flee from the scene.

Mr Bonventure Munanga, the director of the Kakamega County Bullfighting Association, confirmed the incident on Tuesday, July 5, said the bull caught up with a woman as she attempted to flee to safety.

“The woman could not run fast enough since she had sustained an injury in the accident and she was unfortunately killed by the bull,” said Mr Munanga.

Kakamega East sub county police commander Mr Robert Makau told Nation.Africa that police were called in to rescue the bull from villagers who wanted to slash it to death and share it’s meat.

“The DCIO is handling the investigations. The owner of the bull will appear in court on Thursday to face charges related to negligence in handling the animal,” said Mr Makau.

Mr Munanga said the owner of the bull tried to negotiate with the family of the woman so that they could settle the matter out of court.

“He agreed to meet the burial expenses, but villagers were planning to attack the bull and kill it as dictated by tradition. The bull is supposed to be killed and the meat shared out to be eaten,” said Mr Munanga.

Again, US Court Postpones Socialite Hushpuppi’s Sentencing

A United States Central District Court in California has postponed the sentencing of Nigerian fraudster Ramon Abass known as Hushpuppi for the second time.

According to Premium Times report, Judge Otis Wright has fixed September 21 as the new sentencing date for Hushpuppi. “At the request of counsel, the Sentencing is CONTINUED to 9/21/2022 at 1:30 PM before Judge Otis D. Wright II, as to Defendant Ramon Olorunwa Abbas,” the court’s announcement made June 24 read.

Hushpuppi pleaded guilty in April 2021, according to court documents by the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) to the multi-million-dollar fr@ud charges filed against him by the United States government.

A version of Hushpuppi’s plea agreement filed in June outlined his role in a school finance scheme, as well as several other cyber and business email compromise schemes that cumulatively caused more than $24 million in losses. He pleaded guilty to Count Two which is “Conspiracy to Engage in Money Laundering,” an offence that attracts a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment among other punishments including full restitution, his plea agreement with the U.S. government states in part.

Recall, that Hushpuppi was arrested in Dubai, the United Arab Emirate (UAE) in June 2020, and subsequently flown to the U.S., Hushpuppi pleaded guilty to the charges in July 2021 and was ordered to remain in custody pending sentencing.

The sentencing hearing was initially moved by Judge Wright from February 14 to July 11 and has now been moved to September 21 at the counsel’s request.

He has been in custody since his arrest in Dubai and rendition to the U. S. in June 2020. He, thereafter entered into a plea bargain agreement with the U.S. government in July 2021, in the hope of getting a lighter punishment. Despite pleading guilty, Hushpuppi will not be exempted from paying restitution.
