El-Rufai to file no-case submission as DSS closes case
Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is expected to file a no-case submission after the Department of State Services closed its case in his alleged phone tapping trial. The development came during a hearing at the Federal High Court in Abuja. The prosecution informed the court that it would not call any more witnesses, which officially brought its case to an end. El-Rufai’s lawyer told the court that the defence would now challenge the case by arguing that the evidence presented was not enough to require the former governor to enter a defence. The matter has been adjourned for further proceedings, including the filing of the no-case submission. The case continues to draw public attention because it involves a former governor, the DSS, and allegations linked to phone interception and national security.
US deports Nigerian after domestic violence convictions
The United States has deported a Nigerian man after multiple criminal convictions, including domestic violence and other offences. According to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the man remained in the country after entering on a student visa nearly two decades ago. Authorities said he later built up a long criminal record that included domestic violence, trespassing, intimidation, obstruction, kidnapping, rape, and family neglect. ICE said the deportation was part of its ongoing enforcement against foreign nationals with serious criminal histories. The agency said the case shows the consequences of remaining in the country unlawfully while also committing repeated crimes. The development has drawn attention because it involves both immigration violations and violent offences. It also highlights the role of US authorities in removing non-citizens with serious criminal records from the country.
Ebola cases rise above 1,000 in Congo
Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo have now passed 1,000, according to health updates from regional health authorities. The outbreak is being caused by the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola and is affecting parts of the country’s north-eastern region. Health officials say the situation remains serious, with more cases and deaths still being reported as surveillance and testing continue. The World Health Organization has already described the outbreak as a public health emergency that requires strong international coordination. Response teams are working to isolate confirmed cases, trace contacts, and support treatment efforts in affected areas. Officials have warned that the virus may spread further if the response is delayed or if communities do not seek care early. Health workers are also urging people to avoid contact with the sick, follow hygiene measures, and report symptoms quickly.
GehGeh criticises Peller’s marriage to Jarvis says money isn’t everything
Social media personality Ojaigho Prosper, widely known as GehGeh, has criticised TikTok star Habeeb Hamzat, popularly called Peller, over his decision to marry Elizabeth Aminata, also known as Jarvis, despite acknowledging Peller’s financial success. GehGeh reacted via his X (Twitter) account on Sunday, questioning whether financial stability alone should be enough reason to enter marriage. He argued that other important factors such as mental, physical, emotional and spiritual readiness must be considered before making such a commitment. He wrote, “Y’all are justifying his act with ‘he has the money, allow him’. But y’all failed to ask yourself if he’s ready mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.” He then added, “Everything isn’t all about the money.” GehGeh also expressed disappointment that Peller went ahead with the marriage plans despite his advice, saying Peller is still young and has more personal growth ahead.

UN Report Alleges Israel Targeted Palestinian Children
A United Nations commission of inquiry has accused Israel of deliberately targeting Palestinian children during its military operations in Gaza, alleging actions that may constitute genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes under international law. In a newly released report, the commission stated that Israeli authorities and security forces were responsible for acts that caused death, severe injuries, and psychological trauma to large numbers of Palestinian children. The report further claims that such actions continued even after a ceasefire agreement was reached in Gaza in October 2025. According to the commission, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the harm inflicted on children forms part of a broader strategy aimed at weakening the future of the Palestinian population by targeting its younger generation. The findings were issued by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and […]
Trump Welcomes Colombia Election Result
Former US President Donald Trump has welcomed preliminary results from Colombia’s presidential run-off election, predicting stronger ties between Washington and Bogotá after early vote counts placed conservative candidate Abelardo de la Espriella ahead of his rival. According to the initial tally released after Sunday’s vote, de la Espriella secured a narrow lead over left-wing contender Iván Cepeda. The margin separating the two candidates was less than one percentage point, making it one of the closest presidential races in Colombia’s recent history. Despite the preliminary outcome, Cepeda has not conceded defeat. He has called for patience while election authorities complete the verification and cross-checking process, which is expected to take several days before final results are confirmed. Trump, who publicly supported de la Espriella during the campaign, expressed confidence in the result and said he anticipated a significant improvement in relations […]
Kenya Halts US-Funded Ebola Facility Project
Kenya's Health Minister Aden Duale has ordered an immediate halt to the construction of a US-backed Ebola quarantine facility in Nanyuki, following legal pressure over the government's failure to comply with a court ruling. The decision came a day after the High Court found the minister in contempt for allowing work on the project to continue despite an earlier judicial order suspending construction. Appearing before the court on Tuesday, Duale issued an apology and confirmed that all activities at the site had been stopped. The planned 50-bed isolation center, located within a military installation in Nanyuki, is intended to accommodate US citizens suspected of being exposed to Ebola during the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Last month, the High Court ordered a temporary suspension of the project pending the hearing of a petition filed by the Katiba […]

Five highly anticipated 2026 World Cup matches that disappointed fans
The 2026 FIFA World Cup has been praised for its exciting moments and viral fan experiences, but at least five matches that fans expected to be thrilling instead delivered disappointing results. One of the biggest disappointments was Spain’s goalless draw against underdog Cape Verde, a team ranked 65 places below Spain. Spain was one of the top favorites for the tournament, and many fans expected a high-scoring victory, but the match ended 0–0 in a lacklustre performance. Cristiano Ronaldo’s largely inconspicuous performance in DR Congo’s 1–1 draw with Portugal also left many viewers wondering whether he is past his prime. Despite high hopes for Ronaldo’s influence, he struggled to make a major impact as DR Congo scored its first-ever World Cup goal through Yoane Wissa. Mexico’s match against South Korea, which was expected to be a key battle for the […]
