 Sheikh Gumi Denies Fleeing Nigeria to Turkey to Escape Trump

Controversial Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has denied social media rumors claiming he fled Nigeria to hide in Turkey due to fears of US President Donald Trump’s threat of military intervention over alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria. Gumi, currently in Turkey giving interviews, provided proof that his visa was obtained weeks before Trump’s November 1 tweet.

 Messi’s Return to Barcelona ‘Unrealistic,’ Says Club President Laporta

FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta has stated that the prospect of Lionel Messi returning to play for the club is “unrealistic.” Speaking on Catalunya Radio, Laporta emphasized that while Messi, now at Inter Miami, remains beloved in Barcelona, speculation about a football return isn’t appropriate.

Naval Officer in Face-Off with Wike Breached the Law, Says SAN

Constitutional law expert Prof. Sebastine Hon, SAN, has said the naval officer involved in an Abuja land face-off with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike violated the law. Hon condemned Naval Officer A.M. Yerima’s decision to block Wike’s access to a disputed plot, insisting military personnel are not bound to obey illegal or manifestly unjust orders. Citing Supreme Court rulings, Hon argued that the officer's conduct—guarding a private construction site under suspicious circumstances—was unlawful and breached both the Nigerian Constitution and military regulations. He stressed Wike's authority as FCT Minister, acting “in loco” of the President for Abuja land administration under Sections 297(2) and 302 of the 1999 Constitution, meaning Wike should not have been obstructed, even by a serving soldier. The SAN asserts the officer could face court martial for obstructing a public officer in performance of his duty. The incident, […]
