Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Returns To Senate After Serving Six-Month Suspension

Federal High Court Adjourns Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Cybercrime Trial to February 2026

Wale busari03 mins

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday adjourned the trial of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for alleged cybercrime to February 4, 2026. The hearing, which was scheduled for Monday before Justice Mohammed Umar, could not proceed due to the judge’s absence. The trial, initially set to begin on February 4, 2025, had previously faced multiple delays. According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), proceedings were also stalled on October 21 following a protest led by Mr. Omoyele Sowore demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu, who was recently convicted on terrorism charges. Akpoti-Uduaghan was arraigned on June 30 on a six-count charge filed by the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation (DPPF), Mohammed Abubakar, and granted bail. Justice Umar initially adjourned the trial to September 22, 2025, for the commencement of proceedings. However, on the last scheduled date, the defence raised a preliminary objection just as the prosecution was about to call its first witness. Defence counsel, Ehiogie West-Idahosa, SAN, argued that the objection, which challenges the court’s jurisdiction, must be resolved before the trial could proceed. He contended that the case involves an abuse of prosecutorial powers by the Attorney General of the Federation and that the defence had not been served with statements of the prosecution’s witnesses. Although the prosecution, led by David Kaswe, argued against halting the trial, Justice Umar ruled that the objection must first be addressed before any further steps could be taken. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan faces charges under the Cybercrimes Prohibition, Prevention, etc. (Amendment) Act 2024. She is accused of transmitting false and injurious information electronically to malign, incite, and endanger lives and public order. The allegations stem from statements she reportedly made on April 4 in Ihima, Kogi, and in a television interview, claiming that Senate President Godswill Akpabio instructed former Governor Yahaya Bello to have her killed.

US, Nigeria Agrees To Boost Security Collaboration With Intelligence Sharing And Military Support

Wale busari03 mins

The United States and the Federal Government of Nigeria have agreed to strengthen security cooperation, with commitments to expand intelligence sharing and provide military support for nationwide counter-terrorism and counter-extremism operations. The agreement follows a series of high-level meetings in Washington last week between senior Nigerian officials and key US Government agencies, aimed at deepening defence ties and exploring new areas of collaboration. The Nigerian delegation, led by National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, met with officials from the US Congress, the White House Faith Office, the State Department, the National Security Council, and the Department of Defense. Other members included Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi, Chief of Defence Staff General Olufemi Oluyede, Chief of Defence Intelligence Lieutenant General Emmanuel Undiandeye, Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, and representatives from the Office of the National Security Adviser. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, said the meetings provided an opportunity to address misconceptions about Nigeria’s security situation, including claims of genocide, and to emphasize that violence affects multiple religious and ethnic communities. “The discussions allowed us to correct misconceptions, foster a solution-driven partnership with the United States, reinforce mutual trust, and advance a coordinated approach to protecting vulnerable communities, particularly in the Middle Belt,” Onanuga said. He added that the US has expressed willingness to provide complementary support, including humanitarian aid for affected populations and technical assistance to enhance early-warning systems. Both countries have agreed to implement a non-binding cooperation framework immediately and to establish a Joint Working Group to coordinate actions in priority areas. The Nigerian government also reiterated its commitment to improving civilian protection and addressing concerns around religious freedom and security. “The Federal Government recognizes the heightened sensitivities surrounding religious freedom and security and assures citizens that firm, urgent, and coordinated measures are being taken to safeguard the nation,” Onanuga concluded.

Reggae Pioneer Jimmy Cliff Dies At 81, Leaving Enduring Musical Legacy

Wale busari04 mins

Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, the Jamaican singer and songwriter whose music helped propel the genre onto the global stage, has died at the age of 81. His family announced the news on Monday via his official Instagram account. In a touching statement, his wife, Latifa Chambers, revealed that Cliff passed away following a seizure and complications from pneumonia. “It’s with profound sadness that I share that my husband, Jimmy Cliff, has crossed over due to a seizure followed by pneumonia. I am thankful for his family, friends, fellow artists, and coworkers who shared his journey with him,” she wrote. “To all his fans around the world, your support was his strength throughout his career. He truly appreciated every fan’s love. I also want to thank Dr. Couceyro and the medical team for their support during this difficult time. Jimmy, my darling, may you rest in peace. I will honor your wishes. Please respect our privacy during these hard times. Further information will be provided later. See you, and we see you, Legend.” Cliff, born James Chambers in 1944 in St. James, Jamaica, was one of reggae’s most influential figures. He had his first hit at just 14 with Hurricane Hattie and went on to release iconic songs such as Many Rivers to Cross, You Can Get It If You Really Want, and The Harder They Come, which introduced millions to Jamaica’s vibrant music and culture. His starring role in the 1972 film The Harder They Come and its internationally acclaimed soundtrack are credited with bringing reggae to the world long before Bob Marley’s global fame. Over his career, Cliff won two Grammy Awards, received seven nominations, and in 2010, became one of only two Jamaicans inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside Bob Marley, an honor presented by Wyclef Jean. His music crossed borders and genres, with collaborations including Paul Simon and the Rolling Stones, and covers of his songs by Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, and others. Bob Dylan hailed his song Vietnam as “the greatest protest song ever written.” Despite his long career and global acclaim, Cliff remained dedicated to his craft. After releasing his Grammy-winning 2012 album Rebirth, he reflected, “I feel I have not completed what I’m here on this planet to do. I have to say what I have to say and do what I have to do via music and films. Every morning I wake up, that keeps me going.” Jimmy Cliff leaves behind a legacy as a pioneering artist whose music and storytelling shaped the global appreciation of reggae.

Wale busari02 mins

Bollywood star Dharmendra has died in the Indian city of Mumbai at the age of 89. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to the actor, saying his passing “marks the end of an era in Indian cinema”. Dharmendra, who often described himself as “a simple man”, commanded extraordinary affection and loyalty from his tens of millions of fans. Best known as Veeru, the lovable petty criminal in the 1975 blockbuster Sholay, he appeared in over 300 films, many hits, captivating audiences for decades. Songs featuring him topped the charts, and his romance and marriage with Hema Malini made headlines. Dubbed the “original He-Man of Bollywood” and “Garam (hot) Dharam”, the actor often made it to global lists of “most handsome men” in his heyday and female fans were known to sleep with his photographs under their pillows. Bollywood stars weren’t immune to his charms either – over the years actress Madhuri Dixit described him as “one of the most handsome people I have seen on screen”, superstar Salman Khan said Dharmendra was the “most beautiful looking man” and actress Jaya Bachchan called him “a Greek God”. Dharmendra always said he was “embarrassed” by talk of his good looks and attributed it to “nature, my parents and my genes”. Born on 8 December 1935 in Nasrali village in Punjab’s Ludhiana district in a middle-class Jatt-Sikh family, he was named Dharam Singh Deol by his schoolteacher father.
