A 911 dispatcher in the Florida Panhandle received an unusual -- albeit heartwarming -- call from young resident on Thanksgiving Day.
"A little boy melted all the hearts in Walton County Sheriff's Office Communication Center today," read a post on Walton County Sheriff Michael A. Adkinson, Jr.'s Facebook page.
According to the post, a boy named Billy called 911 Thursday afternoon "to invite WCSO staff/deputies to come eat Thanksgiving dinner with he and his family."
Considering most calls that 911 dispatchers receive are from people in a state of distress, the call was a pleasant aberration.
"With all the bad calls we take on a daily basis this one was a welcomed happy call that made all of us smile," said lead communications officer Monica Webster.
Billy was paid "a special visit" by deputy Damon Byrd and deputy Aaron Ethridge, who gave him a sheriff’s badge.
The deputies also allowed him to sit in their patrol car.
The Facebook post concluded, "While we do not encourage this use of 911 ... we are so honored at the invitation. Thank you Billy for making all of our days here at WCSO.Love What Matters #LoveWhatMatters."

Ondo Election Turns Bloody As APC Chieftain Is KILLED
Mr Afolabi Olaposi, a chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Owo, Ondo State, was on Thursday night killed by unknown gunmen in Owo.
The Party said in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Abayomi Adesanya, on Friday in
Akure that Olaposi was shot dead on his way home after attending a meeting of the party in preparation for the governorship election.
“Olaposi, who is one of the leaders of our party in Igboroko Ward 1, Owo, was also an ardent supporter of our Governorship Candidate, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN).
“He was a perfect gentleman who was committed to the development of the party in Owo and Ondo State in general.
“The assailant also went to the house of Chief Jamiu Ekungba, an APC aspirant in the Sept. 3 Primary, and vandalised seven vehicles in his compound.
“Ekungba was not to at home during the attack.
“We believe those calling for the postponement of the election and threatening a repeat of 1983 violence were behind these dastardly acts.
“We call on security agents in the state to fish out those behind these acts and ensure the protection of our people before, during and after the election,’’ Adesanya said.
Speaking in a telephone interview, the Spokesperson for Ondo State Police Command, DSP Femi Joseph, said: “ I don’t have the details of the incident now, but the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) in charge of the election will speak about it later’’.

A Ugandan prostitute surrendered packs of condoms after she was delivered in the church.
Read according to the church, Robert Kayanja Ministries Facebook page that shared the story...
"Ninsiima Allen (25 years old) from Wakaliga had been a prostitute. She came for #77DOGS, was convicted by the Holy Ghost, repented and gave her life to Jesus Christ.
She went back to the lodges where she had been practicing the prostitution and preached to the people there, testifying that she is now born again and free.
Allen, however was afraid that she could have contracted HIV/AIDS. She was counseled by one of our ministers here and got the boldness to go for an HIV test. To her joy, she found that she was HIV negative.
She was set free from prostitution and the bondage of fear. Glory to God."

Court Jails Benue Executive Secretary For Slapping Subordinate
A chief magistrate’s court sitting in Makurdi, the Benue State capital on Thursday sentenced the Executive Secretary of Teaching Service Board, Makurdi, James Pine, to five months imprisonment.
Pine was charged to court for assaulting his subordinate in March, 13, 2016.
Pine was charged with assault and criminal use of force, an act punishable under Section 268 of the Penal Code Laws of Benue State 2004.
Delivering judgment, Dan Ogoh held that witnesses called by prosecution testified to the effect that they were at the TSB headquarters and saw that the convict slapped and pushed the complainant to the ground.
He said the defence could not dislodge the testimony.
The trial magistrate said, ‘The avalanche of evidence of prosecution point to the same direction and conclusion establishing that the offence was committed.’
The magistrate thereby sentenced Pine to five months imprisonment with an option of N10,000 fine.
A team of prosecution lawyers led by Demeer Adi of Damsa Damsa and Co. called three witnesses.
Pine had during the trial denied assaulting or using criminal force against Asema and said under cross examination that it was wrong for a chief executive officer to slap a subordinate.
His counsel, Ambrose Ikpa, argued that the case of the complainant was a desperate attempt to prosecute the head of secondary school education in Benue State, having earlier prayed for a “no case submission,” which was discountenanced by the court.
This judgment makes it second time that a top officials of Benue State Government would be sentenced for offence of assault and criminal use of force.
The first public officer in the state to receive the sentence was Magdalene Damkor, the then Rector of College of Advanced and Professional Studies Makurdi.

“Based on the preliminary report of the panel however, submitted to the Executive committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ogun State Chapter, we found merit in the allegations and hereby adopt the report and findings of the Panel which include recommendation to suspend the above mentioned,” the statement said.
“In the exercise of the powers vested on the State Executive committee in accordance with the Constitution of the Peoples Democratic Party the above name are hereby suspended from the Ogun State Chapter of the PDP with immediate effect; their names have also been forwarded to the national secretariat of the party for necessary further appropriate disciplinary actions.”
Woman-led kidnap gang busted, beaten & stripped nude (Grpahic photos)
Wednesday was a sad day of reckoning for a group of suspected kidnappers as they were nabbed in Calabar, the Cross Rivers State capital.
The kidnappers, who reportedly confessed to have come from Delta and Enugu States, said kidnap ‘business’ was easier for them in Calabar, hence, the need for their relocation into the state.
Luck, however, ran out on them when they had snatched a car belonging to one Mrs Joyce.
They were said to have pushed the woman and her baby out of the car. The woman raised the alarm and residents gave them a hot chase.
They were apprehended, beaten and stripped n*ked before they were handed over to the police.
