Bi. Arafa Issa Namaji (Pichani) mwenye umri wa miaka 39 mkazi wa kijiji cha Narung’ombe wilayani Ruangwa Mkoani Lindi  anaomba msaada wa haraka utakaomuwezesha kupata matibabu ya uvimbe ulio katika paji la uso uliotokana na maumivu makali ya kichwa baada ya kupata matibabu katika hospitali ya Ndanda na kuelekezwa kufika katika hospital ya Taifa ya Muhimbili(MNH) Kwa uchunguzi zaidi na matibabu.

Tatizo lilianza tangu mwezi february 2012, alianza kwa kuumwa na kichwa kwa maumivu makali sana na kipele kidogo kikatokea kwenye paji la uso, hivyo basi kadri kilipopungua maumivu ndipo kipele kiliendelea kuwa kikubwa hadi kuathiri macho na sehemu ya pua.

Baada ya kuona hali inazidi kuwa mbaya Majirani na marafiki wa karibu walimshauri kwenda hospitali ya wilaya, alipofika daktari  alimpa rufaa ya kwenda hopsitali ya Ndanda, hata hivyo Ndanda pia wakampa rufaa kwenda hospitali ya rufaa ya taifa Muhimbili kwa uchunguzi zaidi.

Kutokana na kuwa katika hali duni na hana mtu yeyote wa kumsaidia Watumishi wa Halmashauri ya Wilaya ya Ruangwa wameichangishana kupata kiasi cha nauli pamoja na hela kidogo ya kujikimu kwa siku mbili, lakini bado anahitaji msaada zaidi wa pesa kwa sababu atahitaji kuishi zaidi Dar es Salaam, wakati akiwa  katika hospital ya Muhimbili kwa ajili ya uchunguzi pamoja na matibabu yake.

Kwa alie tayari kumsaidia anaweza kuwasiliana na Mwenyekiti wa Klabu ya Waandishi wa Habari mkoa wa Lindi ambae pia ni mwakilishi wa Channel Ten, Abdulaziz Ahmeid kwa namba za simu 0787176221 au 0756696048

Guard shot himself dead at PM's home

Prime Minister of Sweden, Fredrik Reinfeldt

A security guard shot himself dead at Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt’s official residence in Stockholm on Friday, according to reports.

Police were alerted shortly after 1pm on Friday and emergency services including three swat teams gathered outside the prime minister’s official residence,Sagerska Palatset in central Stockholm.

Stockholm police spokeswoman Towe Hägg told the TT news agency that Swedish security service Säpo, which manages the prime minister's security detail, had not been brought into the investigation.

"We are aware that something has happened at Sagerska Palace today, but we haven't been formally called in," Säpo spokeswoman Sirpa Franzén told TT.

The prime minister was not in the house at the time of the incident.

"Fredrik Reinfeldt is fine and on an external visit. He is not at Sagerska," Roberta Alenius, Reinfeldt's press secretary told Expressen.

Svensk Bevakningstjänst confirmed for TT that it was one of its employees that had died.

“He has worked here since 2006,” said Anders Lönnebo, CEO of Svensk Bevakningstjänst.

The guard had the right to bear arms and Lönnebo denied that there were any signs the man had been feeling unwell, stating that it was “rather the opposite”.

The company has since informed the man’s relatives.

“We offer our condolences, this is a tragic incident,” Lönnebo said.

Sven-Erik Olsson of the Stockholm police confirmed that the guard was found by a colleague.

“He was found by a colleague in a smaller room with injuries that came from his own weapon,” he told TT.
