Topless feminist protesters storm Paris Muslim conference

Both had messages written in black across their chests with one translating as: 'Nobody makes me submit'
This is the moment two topless feminist protesters stormed a Muslim conference before being kicked and dragged off.
Footage shows the two women, who are naked from the waist up, jumping on stage at the event in Pontoise, to the north west of Paris in France, reports dailymail.
The unnamed women, aged 25 and 31, can be seen grabbing microphones, shouting out and punching the air as the two men leading the conference retreat to the back of the stage.
Both had messages written in black across their chests with one translating as: 'Nobody makes me submit'.
Moments later the two women were hauled away as the event descended in to chaos.
The first woman is carried off by a security guard while the other continues to protest on stage. But seconds later, more men arrive and the second is dragged away. 
Dramatic footage appears to show a man kicking out at one of the women while she was on the ground.
The identities of the women involved are not yet clear but reports suggest that the activists were part of Femen.
The group, which began in Ukraine in 2008, is notorious for using nudity to promote their protests against governments and organisations with which they disagree.
Earlier this year, Femen activists disrupted a May Day speech by French far-right leader Marine Le Pen by making Nazi salutes and drowning her out with a bullhorn.
In chaotic scenes in Paris, two activists had also barged into a ceremony as the National Front leader laid a wreath in honour of Joan of Arc.

*Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri (Nigeria) Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has said the ruling of the country’s apex court on the Osun State governorship election was an affirmation that power in a democracy resided with the people. Governor Diri, while congratulating Senator Ademola Adeleke in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabrah, on Wednesday, expressed joy that the Supreme Court sealed the mandate freely given to the governor by the Osun people. The Bayelsa governor also said the verdict reflected the current mood of the country where those whose stock-in-trade is to promote electoral violence and subvert the will of the people have no place in our electoral system.

(Nigeria) The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has been restrained by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, from imposing fines on broadcast stations in the country. Trial judge in the matter, Justice James Omotosho also set aside the N500,000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC. Justice Omotosho held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations. The court further held that the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, which gives the commission the power to impose sanction, is in conflict with Section 6 of the Constitution that vested judicial power in the court of law. He said the court would not sit idle and watch a body imposing fine arbitrarily without recourse to the law. He said that the commission did not comply with the law when it sat as a complainant and at...
