Eating was a game of Russian roulette for Margo Wölk - because every mouthful of food could have killed her. Although grateful for the bland vegetarian meals she was given, the 25-year-old and her colleagues were not being fed out of generosity. Ms Wölk was one of 15 women employed at Adolf Hitler's Prussian headquarters during the Second World War to taste the Nazi leader's food to ensure it had not been poisoned. In an interview with Berlin's RBB television channel, the only surviving meal-tester who is now a 96-year-old widow, recalled how the women would burst into tears after each meal because they were grateful to still be alive. Because of 'constant rumors the British were out to poison Hitler', he never ate meat, and his meals would consist of rice, noodles, peppers, peas and cauliflower. Ms Wölk said of the experience: 'Some of the girls started to shed tears as they began eating because they were so afraid. We had to eat it all up. The...

Read the press release from the Nigeria Police Force below... The attention of the Nigeria Police has been drawn to an on-line publication entitled ‘ Welcome to Hell-Fire’: torture and other ill-treatment in Nigeria. While we do not question the freedom of Amnesty International to earn its relevance and bread, the Nigeria Police takes serious exceptions to some blatant falsehoods and innuendoes contained in that report. For one, it smacks of indecency   and intemperate language to liken our dear nation Nigeria, to hell fire. That cannot be true. We believe that Nigeria is a growing nation, green and largely peaceful. While the Nigeria Police and other operators in the criminal justice sector are undergoing systematic reforms, and aligning themselves with the demands of democracy, there is no gain saying the fact that the Nigeria Police Force has since improved its operational efficiency and effectiveness. Since the dawn of democracy in 1999, the Nige...
