Afghan National Rahmanullah Lakanwal Identified As Suspect In White House Shooting

Wale busari02 mins

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national admitted to the U.S. under a Biden-era program for Afghans who assisted the American military, has been identified as the suspect in a shooting near the White House on November 26. Lakanwal reportedly opened fire on two West Virginia National Guard members just two blocks from the White House before being shot himself. All three men are in critical condition. Jeffrey Carrol, executive assistant chief of the Washington D.C. police, described the incident as an ambush. “The attacker came around the corner and immediately started firing a firearm,” he said. While it has not been officially confirmed who shot Lakanwal, other guardsmen quickly responded to the scene. FBI Director Kash Patel said the attack appeared to be “targeted,” though it remains unclear whether Lakanwal intended to strike additional targets. President Donald Trump condemned the suspect, calling him “an animal” and a “foreigner who entered our country from Afghanistan, a hellhole on earth.” Trump described the shooting as “heinous” and blamed the Biden administration’s Afghan resettlement policy, calling for a review of all Afghans admitted under the program and measures to remove those who do not “add benefit to our country.” President Joe Biden also condemned the attack, stating, “Violence of any kind is unacceptable,” and offered prayers for the injured service members and their families.

Wale busari03 mins

Former President Goodluck Jonathan is stranded in Guinea-Bissau after a military coup disrupted the country’s elections on Wednesday. Jonathan, who leads the West African Elders Forum (WAEF) election observer mission, arrived in the country ahead of the November 23, 2025 presidential and parliamentary polls. Hundreds of foreign observers, like him, are now unable to leave as the military takes control. A group of officers calling themselves the “High Military Command for the Restoration of Order” announced they had seized “total control” of the country. They ordered an immediate suspension of the electoral process, closed all land, air, and sea borders, and imposed an overnight curfew. President Umaro Sissoco Embalo confirmed to France24 that he had been deposed and was “currently at the general staff headquarters.” Domingos Simoes Pereira, head of the main opposition PAIGC party, has also been arrested. Reports indicate the military is attempting to cut off internet access in the country. The coup was led by Denis N’Canha, the former head of the presidential guard, raising concerns over the security breach that led to Embalo’s detention. Upon arrival in Bissau, Jonathan posted, “We arrived in Bissau this evening as members of the West African Elders Forum (WAEF) Election Mission ahead of Guinea Bissau’s presidential and parliamentary polls. We wish the people of Guinea Bissau a peaceful, inclusive and transparent elections.” During the elections, he shared updates about WAEF’s visits to polling stations and expressed hopes for a smooth voting process. His last post from Guinea-Bissau showed him offering condolences to the family of the late former First Lady, Mrs. Isolina Da Fonseca Nhamajo, along with photos from the visit.

Renowned Nigerian Islamic Cleric Dahiru Usman-Bauchi Dies At 100

Wale busari02 mins

Renowned Nigerian Islamic scholar Dahiru Usman-Bauchi has passed away, marking the end of a long life dedicated to religious scholarship and spiritual leadership. A student of the cleric in Bauchi confirmed his death to Radio France International (RFI) on Wednesday, stating that he died at the reported age of 100. Usman-Bauchi was widely known as the spiritual head of the Tijaniyyah Sufi order in Nigeria, a position that often placed him at the center of doctrinal disputes with other Islamic groups. His mastery of the Qur’an and deep grounding in Islamic jurisprudence earned him respect across West Africa. Originally from Nafada in Gombe State, he began his Islamic education under his father before embarking on extensive travels to learn from scholars in different regions. These journeys shaped his scholarship in both mainstream Islamic studies and the Tijaniyyah Tariqah. He authored numerous works on jurisprudence, spirituality, and Sufism—texts that are still in circulation in Nigeria and in countries like Morocco and Senegal, where Sufi traditions remain influential. Usman-Bauchi also founded and served as the life president of the Ithad Ansarul Faelat Tijaniyat of Nigeria and was a member of the Fatwa Committee of the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs (NSCIA). He is survived by four wives, 95 children, and 406 grandchildren.

The Anglican Diocese of Kaduna has confirmed the passing of Venerable Edwin Achi, the Priest-in-Charge of Ebenezer Anglican Church, Ungwan Maijero, who was abducted alongside his wife and daughter on October 28, 2025. In its announcement on Wednesday, the diocese described his death as deeply devastating, calling him “a painful loss to the entire diocese, the clergy, the church family, and all who were blessed by his faithful ministry, humble spirit, and unwavering devotion to the service of God.” While confirming Achi’s death, the church also disclosed that his wife and daughter are still being held by the kidnappers.

Liverpool Humiliated 4-1 at Home by PSV Eindhoven, Slot Faces Growing Pressure

Wale busari03 mins

Liverpool’s struggles in Europe deepened with a shocking 4-1 home defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League, marking their third consecutive loss while conceding three or more goals in each match. The night began poorly for the Reds when Virgil van Dijk handled a corner early in the game, allowing Ivan Perisic to calmly convert from the penalty spot and give PSV a surprising lead. Liverpool responded quickly. Cody Gakpo’s initial shot was saved by Matej Kovar, but the rebound fell to Dominik Szoboszlai, who tapped in from close range to level the score. PSV thought they had regained the lead through Yarek Gasiorowski shortly after, but his goal was ruled out for offside. Despite dominating much of the first half and forcing Kovar into several key saves—including a one-handed stop from Hugo Ekitike—Liverpool could not take the lead before the break. Van Dijk even saw a header rebound off the crossbar. The second half quickly turned against the Reds. Mauro Júnior’s precise pass found Guus Til, who slotted home PSV’s second goal past Giorgi Mamardashvili. Liverpool’s woes were compounded when Ekitike was injured, forcing an unplanned substitution for Alexander Isak. PSV extended their advantage just over 15 minutes from time after an Ibrahima Konate error. Ricardo Pepi’s initial strike hit the post, but Couhaib Driouech was on hand to finish into an empty net. Slot made a final substitution, bringing on Chiesa for Konate, but it proved too little, too late. In stoppage time, Driouech completed the 4-1 rout, sending Anfield fans streaming for the exits. The defeat adds to mounting pressure on Liverpool manager Arne Slot, whose position is now under intense scrutiny. PSV celebrated one of their most memorable nights in European competition, leaving Liverpool to confront yet another humiliating setback.

Wale busari01 mins

The second half of the Champions League showdown between Arsenal and Bayern Munich belonged entirely to the Gunners. Unlike the first half, Arsenal returned from the break with increased intensity and a clear attacking intent. Mikel Arteta made decisive moves in the closing stages, introducing Riccardo Calafiori, who immediately provided a brilliant assist for fellow substitute Madueke to score. Shortly after, Gabriel Martinelli was also brought on, and he made an instant impact, scoring to make it 3-1. Following a Bayern corner, Arsenal launched a swift counterattack. Manuel Neuer misjudged a long ball played to Martinelli well outside his goal, leaving the Brazilian with a simple finish into an open net. Bayern now appear set to suffer their first defeat in 18 competitive matches this season.

Wale busari02 mins

Burna Boy is back in the spotlight after rumours spread that parts of his tour were cancelled due to low ticket sales. The conversation online grew louder after a picture surfaced showing empty seats at a venue, alongside another image with CANCELLED boldly written across it. Fans have been quick to connect this development to the recent drama at his Denver concert, where he stopped his performance after noticing a woman asleep in the front row. He told her partner: “Take her the f**k home… I’m not doing another song till you go home.” The couple was removed, and the clip went viral within hours. The incident drew mixed reactions, with many criticising Burna Boy for embarrassing paying fans. Now, some are suggesting that the backlash is affecting turnout at his shows, pointing to the circulating photos of half-empty arenas as proof.
