Doctors thought a woman was pregnant with multiple babies but several
pregnancy tests came out negative, leaving her doctors confused.Keely
Favell’s big tummy made her go to the hospital for a test. When
pregnancy tests had shown she was not expecting, she thought she was
just piling on weight. But her bump kept growing bigger and made her
return to the hospital several times.After more pregnancy tests came
back negative her GP who was still convinced a baby was the only
explanation, referred her for an ultrasound scan. It was then that her
enormous bump was revealed to be an ovarian cyst weighing more than four
stone, the same weight as seven newborn babies. 
Keely,
28, had a five-hour operation to remove the growth, which she nicknamed
Mr Whippy.She said:I didn’t understand why until I came round and
everyone was treating me like a minor celebrity. They explained how big
this cyst was and showed me pictures – I couldn’t believe I’d been
walking around carrying this medical alien.It looked like a massive pile
of ice cream so I called it Mr Whippy!

On Tuesday, the Federal High Court in Osogbo turned down the bail
application of a former lecturer with the Obafemi Awolowo University,
Ile-Ife, Prof Richard Akindele, dragged before court for allegedly
demanding sex to upgrade the scores of one of his students, Monica
Osagie. The court rejected the bail application, which Akindele filed
through his lawyer, Francis Omotoso, after the prosecuting counsel for
the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission,
Kehinde Ayantoye, opposed the application. In opposing Akindele’s bail
application, the prosecutor filed a counter-affidavit, which was deposed
to by a police detective, Afolabi Oluwatoyin. In her ruling, Justice
Maureen Onyetenu said the allegations contained in the counter-affidavit
were weighty. At the resumed hearing of the matter on Tuesday, the
prosecutor, Ayantoye, told the court that he had been served with
Akindele’s bail application. The prosecutor told the court that Akindele
might not attend trial, alleging that the professor refused to report
to the ICPC office in Abuja, after he was granted an administrative bail
to travel to America to attend to his health.The prosecutor further
alleged that the embattled professor was caught on tape chanting
incantations to derail the case.While adjourning further hearing till
December 17, 2018, the judge ordered that Akindele should be taken back
to prison.
