The world's oldest man, Alexander Imich, is dead at the age of 111, according to Associated Press, AP.
It was gathered that the late Imich, a retired chemist and parapsychologist, died Sunday night at his home in Manhattan, New York City, USA.
Imich's niece, Karen Bogen, of Providence, Rhode Island, said she had visited the deceased on Saturday.

AP also reported that Imich's health had declined about two weeks ago and he didn't recognize anyone.
He was born in 1903 in a town in Poland that became then part of Russia.


Imich and his wife were said to flee Poland after the Nazis invaded in 1939. They eventually moved to the United States in 1951. His wife died in 1986.
It stressed that Imich, in news reports, had said his good genes and a general healthy lifestyle contributed to his longevity.

he All Progressives Congress has accused the PDP of inciting the violence that followed the announcement of a new Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, on Sunday, in an apparent attempt to destabilize the state, and urged the Kano state Attorney-General to prosecute all PDP officials involved in this act of destabilization.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the statement issued by PDP's publicity secretary Olisa Metuh congratulating one of the contenders long before the Kano State government announced the new Emir was premeditated and calibrated to incite violence in the peaceful state for their selfish agenda.
"What is so urgent about congratulating the new Emir that PDP could not have waited for a few hours for the appropriate authority to make an official announcement?" APC queried.

It wondered why a ruling party, which has access to Kano or any state government, would rush to the media to congratulate a contender who had not been selected, without even contacting the selecting authority to ensure the veracity of whatever news it may have heard.

When the announcement was eventually made and the contender who had already been congratulated lost out, it is only natural that his supporters would feel short-changed.

"It is therefore obvious that the PDP, through its National Publicity Secretary went out of their way to stoke the fire of violence in Kano.

"Since we live in a country which is being governed by the rule of law, the best option open to the Kano state government is for the State Attorney-General to immediately initiate criminal proceedings against PDP and its officials for incitement. Whatever explanations they have for their irresponsible and premeditated actions they should reserve for their defence in court ," APC said.
