  Justice Rilwan Aikawa of the Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna State has granted the former governor of the state, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, bail. He is being charged for alleged financial misconduct, including deposits into his domiciliary account and how his earnings were handled by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). However, El-Rufai’s bail application was stalled at the Kaduna State High Court, as the presiding judge, Justice Darius Khobo, has reserved ruling on the bail application to April 21, 2026. The former governor is being arraigned before the state high court on multiple charges bordering on alleged fraud and abuse of office levelled against him by the ICPC. El-Rufai was brought before the state court on Monday, April 13, 2026, by ICPC operatives and personnel of the Department of State Services (DSS). He is facing an amended nine-count charge after the prosecution reviewed its initial filing. According to documents fro...

  The  United States President, Donald Trump, has deleted an artificial intelligence-generated image he shared on Truth Social after it triggered widespread backlash, including criticism from some of his Christian supporters. The image, which was removed on Monday, portrayed Trump in a messianic light, dressed in a flowing white robe and extending a glowing hand toward a sick man lying on a hospital bed, as though performing a healing miracle. The dramatic scene also featured symbolic elements such as the Statue of Liberty, a large American flag, fighter jets, an eagle, a praying woman, a nurse, and a soldier imagery widely associated with depictions of Jesus Christ. Despite the criticism, Trump defended the post, telling reporters it was intended to represent him “as a doctor making people better.” “I do make people better. I make people a lot better,” he said, while declining to apologize. The controversial post came shortly after Trump criticized Pope Leo XIV, who had conde...

  ‎Nigerian skit maker, Abdulgafar Ahmad Oluwatoyin, popularly known as Cute Abiola, is facing backlash from Nigerians for releasing the video of his wife’s childbirth delivery through caesarean section. ‎ ‎While the video showed moments around the delivery, much of the conversation online has focused less on the birth itself and more on the decision to film and share such a private experience. ‎ ‎Several users criticized the move, calling it unnecessary and attention-seeking. Some argued that not everything should be turned into content, especially sensitive medical moments involving a partner. ‎ ‎Others went further, questioning the hospital’s role, saying medical environments should maintain stricter boundaries and not allow recordings of that nature. ‎ ‎A few also suggested that the skit maker may have approached the situation from a content-first perspective, accusing him of prioritizing engagement over privacy.

Are we even supposed to be together?” Celina, however, said that their i...

  An American born, Pope Leo XIV, on Monday, April 13, 2026, pushed back strongly against criticism from the United States President, Donald Trump defending his stance on the Iran war and insisting his position was guided by a commitment to peace and the message of the gospel. Speaking to the newsmen aboard his plane at the start of a 10-day trip to Africa, the pontiff made clear he would not be deterred by political attack. “I have no fear of the Trump administration or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do, what the church is here to do,” he said. “We are not politicians, we don’t deal with foreign policy with the same perspective as he might understand it,” Leo added. “But I do believe in the message of the Gospel, as a peacemaker.” His remarks came a day after Trump criticized the Pope, describing him as “terrible for foreign policy” over his position on the Iran conflict. “We don’t like a pope that’s going to say that it’s OK...

  The United States President, Donald Trump has launched a verbal attack on Pope Leo XIV, criticizing the religious leader’s stance on international conflicts and American legal actions. In a long post shared on his Truth Social platform on Sunday night, Trump described the Pope as being “weak” on crime and “terrible” for foreign policy. The disagreement comes after Pope Leo reportedly criticized the ongoing conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran. Over the weekend, the Pope suggested that a “delusion of power” was behind the war. Trump reacted angrily to these comments, telling the Pope to “get his act together” and stop supporting “radical left” views, which he claims are hurting the Catholic Church. In an unusual move, Trump compared the Pope to his brother, Louis, who lives in Florida. Trump stated that he likes Louis much better because he supports the “MAGA” movement and shares similar political views. The President also expressed anger over the Pope’s criticism of the ...
