Strait of Hormuz reopens as US, Iran agree two‑week ceasefire

Iran has confirmed a conditional two‑week ceasefire with the United States that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz to commercial traffic under tight military control. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said ships will be allowed “safe passage” through the vital waterway for 14 days, provided all attacks against Iran are halted. The arrangement follows President Donald Trump’s announcement that he would suspend bombing Iran for two weeks if Tehran completely reopened the strait for global oil and gas flows. Both sides are presenting the 11th‑hour truce as a victory, with Washington citing pressure on Iran and Tehran claiming it forced the US to pause strikes and recognise its control over Hormuz. Markets have reacted positively, with global oil prices sliding by around 15 percent and stock indices rallying on hopes that exports from the Gulf can resume, even if partially. Analysts, […]

Troops, DSS and volunteers repel Niger bandits’ attack, kill scores

A combined team of security forces and local fighters has repelled a major bandits’ attack in Niger State, killing scores of the assailants after a prolonged gun battle. The operation involved operatives of the Department of State Services, troops of the Armed Forces and community‑based volunteers who were alerted after terrorists stormed rural communities. Security sources said the confrontation began when heavily armed bandits linked to notorious kingpins Dogo Gide and Leyi attacked Chibani village in Munya Local Government Area, killing one resident and injuring a policeman and another villager. The following day, about 200 bandits reportedly advanced on a security base in Kuchi town, also in Munya LGA, prompting a swift counter‑offensive by the joint team. In the firefight that followed, security operatives “neutralised scores” of the attackers, with many others fleeing with gunshot wounds and several of their […]

U.S., Iran agree two‑week ceasefire as Hormuz passage set to resume

The United States and Iran have agreed to a conditional two‑week ceasefire that will see a partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping and oil tankers. The deal, announced late Tuesday just before President Donald Trump’s deadline for possible massive strikes on Iran, was brokered with help from Pakistan and other regional intermediaries. Under the arrangement, the U.S. and Israel will halt air and missile strikes on Iranian territory for 14 days, while Tehran commits to allowing “safe passage” through the strategic waterway in coordination with its armed forces. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a statement that, for the duration of the ceasefire, ships can transit the strait subject to “technical limitations” and prior coordination with Iranian military authorities. Trump hailed the agreement on social media as a “double‑sided ceasefire,” claiming Washington had already met […]

Amad backs ‘right man’ Carrick to get permanent Manchester United job

Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has thrown his weight behind interim boss Michael Carrick to become the club’s permanent head coach. Speaking at United’s training camp in Dublin, Amad said the players believe Carrick is “the right man” for the job after his impressive start in charge. Carrick returned to Old Trafford as interim head coach in January following the sacking of Ruben Amorim and has since overseen just one defeat in 10 matches, with seven wins and two draws. That run has put United back on course for a Champions League return, with four wins and a draw from their final seven league games likely to be enough to seal qualification. Amad praised Carrick’s experience, understanding of the club and his strong relationship with the squad. “He has a lot of experience, he knows the club and has the […]

ADC NEC takes over party administration, appoints interim leadership

The National Executive Council of the African Democratic Congress has announced that it is taking over the administration of the party and putting in place an interim leadership structure. The move follows a prolonged leadership tussle and multiple court cases over who legally controls the ADC ahead of the 2027 elections. At an emergency NEC meeting in Abuja, key stakeholders resolved to sideline the warring factions and mandated a caretaker team to manage the party’s affairs until a national convention is held. Leaders aligned with former interim chairman David Mark and other elders said the step became necessary to stabilise the party and restore confidence among members and aspirants. The interim leadership has been tasked with organising a credible national convention, reconciling aggrieved blocs and ensuring strict adherence to the party’s constitution and the Electoral Act. NEC members also warned […]

A civilisation might die tonight’ – Trump issues apocalyptic warning to Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that “a whole civilisation will die tonight” in Iran if the country fails to accept his terms to end the ongoing conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Posting on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday, Trump said he did not want that outcome “but it probably will” if Tehran refuses to make a deal by his deadline. The extraordinary warning comes as the United States and Israel intensify strikes on Iranian military targets and infrastructure following weeks of clashes across the region. Trump has repeatedly tied his ultimatum to Iran’s de‑facto closure of the vital shipping lane, insisting that the strait must be fully reopened to global oil traffic. In recent days, the president has threatened to “take out” key Iranian infrastructure, including bridges and power plants, if no agreement is reached. He […]

Cancer survivor accuses Blessing CEO of doctoring her report, NMA backs forgery claim

Relationship influencer Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has been accused of fraudulently doctoring a cancer survivor’s medical report to support her claim of having stage 4 breast cancer. The allegation was made by Deborah Mbara, a mother of four and breast cancer survivor based in Asaba, Delta State. Mbara says Blessing requested a copy of her histology report last year, claiming she wanted to compare it with her own diagnosis as a fellow patient.

The Nigerian Medical Association, Delta State chapter, has now confirmed that the report linked to Blessing CEO is a doctored version of Mbara’s original result. In a statement […]
