Senator Natasha breaks silence on FG’s withdrawal of criminal charges

Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan has reacted to the Federal Government’s decision to withdraw the criminal charges earlier filed against her over alleged defamation and cyber related offences. The Kogi Central lawmaker said the move vindicates her long standing claims that the case was politically motivated and aimed at silencing her.​ Court documents show that the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation filed a notice of discontinuance on December 12, 2025, effectively ending the case marked FHC/ABJ/CR/195/2025 at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Trump Threatens to Sue BBC for Up to $5 Billion Over Edited Speech

President Donald Trump has announced plans to sue the BBC for up to $5 billion over its Panorama documentary, which combined segments of his January 6, 2021 speech in a way his lawyers allege was “false and defamatory.” The edit allegedly made it appear Trump was directly inciting the US Capitol riot, triggering outcry and the resignation of BBC Director General Tim Davie and Head of News Deborah Turness. The controversy broke after an adviser’s memo detailed how three portions of Trump’s speech were spliced, causing reputational harm that Trump’s team claims was “disseminated worldwide.” BBC Chair Samir Shah and the corporation have apologized for the “error of judgement” but rejected Trump’s demand for financial compensation or legal liability. Despite the apology and the BBC’s decision to pull the documentary from rebroadcast, Trump insists the edit amounted to “election interference” […]

BBC Apologises to Trump Over Panorama Edit but Refuses Compensation

The BBC has formally apologised to former US President Donald Trump for an episode of Panorama that edited and spliced segments of his 6 January 2021 speech, admitting it gave “the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action.” The corporation said it will not re-air the 2024 programme but rejected Trump’s demand for a $1bn compensation, citing no legal basis for a defamation claim. Lawyers for Trump have threatened to sue the BBC unless it issues a retraction, apology, and financial compensation, but the BBC insisted the edit was not designed to mislead and did not cause Trump harm as he was later re-elected. The documentary, restricted to UK viewers, was only 12 seconds of an hour-long programme. The fallout led to the resignation of top BBC executives. The apology follows fresh revelations of […]
