Otieno’s family and their attorneys have said he posed no danger and was simply trying to breathe. He was first taken into police custody March 3, when he was transported to a local hospital for mental health treatment under an emergency custody order. On the afternoon of March 6, he was transferred to the state hospital, which has a unit that provides care for people admitted from jails or by court-order. Attorneys for Otieno’s family have pushed back at those characterizations and did so again Wednesday. Caroline Ouko, Otieno’s mother, said she never could have imagined what would unfold after her son was first taken to the local hospital for care.

The Kenya Spiritual Leaders from Church Umbrella Bodies have raised concerns about the ongoing Azimio demonstrations countrywide. In a statement on Wednesday, the leaders said that although Kenyans have a right to picket and demonstrate, it is not a solution to governance challenges. The religious leaders urged political leaders to use and exhaust other available avenues and institutions for addressing governance challenges instead of demonstrations. According to the statement, political leaders are to create an enabling environment to amicably resolve political differences, pave way for dialogue and find a peaceful solution. The leaders urged security enforcement agencies to continue showing restraint, not to use excessive force, and ensure the protection of life and property.

A new invention created by a Toronto researcher could alter how kidney stones are treated, along with the disorder’s prognosis for patients. Dr. Monica Farcas, a surgeon at St. Michael’s Hospital and an assistant professor at the University of Toronto, led the development of a kidney stone “vacuum,” which will help remove kidney stone bits that are left over after laser surgery and fail to pass through a patient’s urine. People with kidney stones may also experience nausea, vomiting or blood in their urine. While small kidney stones can pass through the urine without invasive treatment, larger stones may require surgery. The U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality suggests that after an initial kidney stone diagnosis, patients have a 35 to 50 per cent chance of developing kidney stones again within five years.

Her Beverly Hills mansion was once again a scene of crime after it emerged that a car belonging to the singer’s driver was stolen. TMZ reported that the driver pulled up to her home and rushed inside to grab something, leaving the engine running. He was immediately handcuffed and whisked away but no further action was taken because, technically, he had not broken any laws. In 2018, a man identified as Eduardo Leon broke into the singer’s Hollywood Hills home and spent about 12 hours inside before her assistant found him. He was also ordered to stay away from Rihanna for 10 years and was placed on GPS monitoring for 90 days.
