In a dramatic and unprecedented announcement early March 1, 2026, Iranian state media confirmed that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei has been killed in a series of coordinated U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran.  Iran’s supreme political and religious authority, who had led the Islamic Republic since 1989, reportedly died at 86 years old in strikes that targeted key government and command facilities.  Family Members Also Dead, State Media Says State-run Iranian outlets and the Fars News Agency have further reported that several members of Khamenei’s immediate family were also killed in the attacks. Among the casualties were his daughter, his son-in-law, and his granddaughter. Sources close to the Supreme Leader’s household confirmed these deaths.  Reports indicated that one of Khamenei’s daughters-in-law was also among those killed, though details on the precise circumstances remain limited.  40 Days of Public Mourning Declared In re...

February 28, 2026 — Tensions in the Middle East escalated sharply today as Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for a missile and drone strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, a key facility used by U.S. forces. According to statements from the IRGC and Iranian state media, the assault targeted the strategically important airbase with precise accuracy, allegedly in retaliation for recent U.S. and allied operations against Iranian targets. Tehran said its missiles and drones hit the base with “exact precision,” demonstrating Iran’s capability to reach deep into Gulf-region military sites. The base, long utilized by the U.S. military for regional operations, was considered a critical hub for American defense and logistics in the Gulf. While Iran’s statements described the strike as successful, these reports remain unverified and independent confirmation has not yet been released. This claim marked another chapter in the growing tens...

Tensions are soaring in Washington, D.C., after President Donald Trump  ordered military strikes against without formal approval from the Congress. The decision has sparked intense criticism and a heated debate over the limits of presidential power. According to major U.S. news outlets, the strikes — conducted in coordination with — were launched without prior Congressional authorization or a formal declaration of war. Lawmakers from both parties have expressed outrage, calling the action unconstitutional and a dangerous precedent. Many members of Congress emphasized that under the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the power to declare war , not the president. Critics argue that the strikes constitute an unauthorized military action with potentially serious legal consequences. Prominent Democratic senators are calling for an emergency session of Congress to review the president’s decision and consider new measures to limit unilateral military action in the...

  Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has publicly dismissed widespread rumors questioning the status of the nation’s top leadership, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Araghchi clarified that the Supreme Leader and all senior Iranian officials are alive, urging the public and the international community to ignore what he described as “baseless speculation.” His statement comes at a time of heightened regional uncertainty, following recent military exchanges and escalating tensions across the Middle East. Analysts suggest that the speed at which the rumors spread underscores the volatile geopolitical climate and the intense global focus on Iran’s internal stability.

Tehran, Iran – In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Iran has launched a wide-scale retaliation against Israel and U.S. military positions across the Gulf region following recent U.S.-Israel strikes on Iranian territory. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed that the operation, codenamed Operation Truthful Promise 4, targeted both military installations and strategic infrastructure, signaling Iran’s determination to respond forcefully. Iranian officials vowed that the campaign is ongoing and that further action is planned until perceived foreign aggressions cease. According to initial reports, missiles and drones struck multiple locations, including U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, while air defenses in Israel were activated as alarms blared across major cities. The attacks mark one of the most significant escalations in the U.S.–Iran conflict in recent decades. Local authorities in the Gulf region confi...

As the blessed month of Ramadan approaches, one of the most frequently asked questions among Muslims is: “How many raka’at should we pray for Taraweeh?” This question has been discussed by scholars for centuries, and understanding it helps Muslims worship with clarity, sincerity, and confidence. 🌟 What Is Taraweeh? Taraweeh refers to the night prayer in Ramadan, prayed after Isha. The name comes from the Arabic word “tarweeha,” meaning “to rest,” because the early Muslims would rest briefly between sets of prayer due to its length. Though Taraweeh is not obligatory, it is a highly recommended Sunnah, and the Prophet ﷺ encouraged Muslims to perform it with devotion. He said: “Whoever stands (in prayer) during Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward, his past sins will be forgiven.” (Sahih al-Bukhari & Muslim) 1️⃣ The Number of Raka’at the Prophet ﷺ Prayed The strongest and most authentic evidence comes from A’isha (RA) who narrated:  “The Prophet ﷺ never exceeded el...

The meeting between the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) with President Bola Tinubu reportedly ended without a concrete resolution, sources say. According to Dr. Sultan Abaji, PhD in Cyber Security and Administrative General of the Nigerian Government Workers Forum, the unions pressed for immediate payment of pending dues, emphasizing that further delays were unacceptable. On the other hand, government representatives asked for a two-week window to outline a method of payment, citing the need for procedural arrangements. The unions, however, rejected the extension, leaving the issue unresolved. Dr. Abaji noted that the union leaderships are expected to announce their next course of action soon. This development highlights growing tension between the Nigerian government and organized labor, as workers await clarity on payment timelines and assurances of prompt action.

Regional tensions are escalating across West Africa as a surge of militant attacks continues to spread across the Nigeria–Benin–Niger border corridor, prompting urgent calls for stronger international cooperation and tighter security operations. Recent intelligence reports and eyewitness accounts revealed an alarming rise in cross-border movements by armed groups, many of whom were exploiting porous boundaries and limited security presence. Communities situated around the Kebbi, Sokoto, and Zamfara border axis in Nigeria, as well as adjoining areas in Benin Republic and Niger, have witnessed renewed attacks involving armed militants suspected to be part of transnational extremist networks. These groups reportedly engaged in: Night-time raids on rural communities Cattle rustling and kidnapping for ransom Armed confrontations with local security forces Destruction of property and displacement of civilians Local residents said the attacks have become “relentless and unpredicta...

A major political realignment is unfolding in Nigeria’s South-South region as leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have unanimously endorsed former Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi for the party’s 2027 presidential ticket. The endorsement was announced by respected political elder and former APC national chairman John Odigie-Oyegun, who revealed that regional consultations among ADC leaders ended with a united decision to back Amaechi. “We Stand Firmly Behind Him” — Odigie-Oyegun Odigie-Oyegun said the decision reflects the confidence the South-South bloc has in Amaechi’s national appeal, administrative competence, and experience. “We, the ADC South-South leaders, have unanimously agreed to give Rotimi Amaechi our full support for the ADC Presidential Ticket,” he said. “Our choice is based on careful assessment and the conviction that he embodies the leadership qualities Nigeria needs at this critical time.” He added that the endorsement followed weeks of in...

The Federal Government has extended its ban on the exportation of raw shea nuts for another year, in a move officials said was aimed at accelerating domestic industrial growth within the shea value chain. President Ahmed Bola Tinubu approved the extension, shifting the new expiry date of the restriction to 25 February 2027 . The ban, first introduced in August 2025, was part of a broader strategy to discourage the export of raw agricultural commodities and promote value-added processing within Nigeria. According to the government’s directive, all previous waivers granted to companies to export raw shea nuts had now been cancelled. Instead, the administration has ordered relevant ministries and agencies to develop a national framework that would prioritise local processing, enhance quality standards and position shea products for the global market. A key part of this structure would be coordinated through the Nigerian Commodity Exchange (NCE), which would over...

AA Tijjani Fasting in Ramadan is one of the greatest pillars of Islam. However, Allah, in His mercy, does not burden a soul with what it cannot bear. For Muslims who cannot fast permanently due to old age, chronic illness, or similar conditions, Islam provides an alternative act of worship known as Fidyah — feeding the poor. In this detailed article, we explain who should pay fidyah, how to pay it, and what Islamic scholars say regarding this obligation. ✔ What Does the Qur’an Say About Fidyah? The obligation of fidyah comes directly from the Qur’an. Allah (SWT) says: “And upon those who are able to fast but with hardship, they may feed a poor person (for every day).” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:184) This verse, as explained by classical scholars, refers to those who cannot fast due to permanent difficulty , not temporary sickness. Ibn Abbas (RA), one of the greatest scholars among the companions, said regarding this verse: “This refers to the elderly man and elderly woman wh...

A harrowing video has emerged showing Israeli soldiers shooting a 14-year-old Palestinian boy during a military operation and then standing around as he lay dying , sparking international outrage. The incident reportedly took place in the al‑Far’a refugee camp in the West Bank . Footage shows the boy, identified as Jad Jadallah , collapsing in a narrow alley after being shot, with soldiers forming a cordon around him instead of offering immediate medical assistance. Eyewitnesses said  ambulances were blocked for nearly 45 minutes , while the boy laid injured and helpless. Despite international humanitarian law requiring the wounded to receive urgent medical care, the soldiers allegedly refused to intervene. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) told the BBC that soldiers provided “initial medical treatment” after confirming the boy was unarmed, but refused to explain the nature of the treatment or the timing . The military also claimed the boy had thrown a rock at t...

Jigawa State Governor Umar A. Namadi has secured the release of Walida Abdulhadi Ibrahim , the young girl who went missing in 2023 and was allegedly held by an operative of the Department of State Services (DSS) . She was handed over to the governor on Wednesday night at the DSS headquarters in Abuja . Walida, who disappeared from Hadejia in 2023, was reportedly taken and unlawfully kept by a DSS officer identified as Ifeanyi Onyewuenyi . Her family accused the officer of detaining her without consent, subjecting her to abuse, and that she even gave birth while in captivity — allegations that sparked public outrage and legal battles. Despite a court order demanding her release, DSS held her for months, claiming ongoing investigations. This prompted strong intervention from the Jigawa State Government, civil society groups, and legal advocates. During the handover, Governor Namadi was accompanied by senior Jigawa officials, including the Speaker of the State Assembly and...

In a shocking political development, Rt. Hon. Batiya Wesley , the Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly , and 16 other lawmakers have officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) , marking a significant political shift in the state’s legislative body. The Mass Defection The resignations came during the plenary session of the Adamawa State House of Assembly . Among those who submitted their resignation letters were key figures such as Deputy Speaker Muhammed Buba Jidjiwa and other members representing various constituencies across the state. The resignation letters were read aloud during the session, confirming that the lawmakers were leaving the PDP. Reasons Behind the Resignation While the lawmakers have not provided a unified statement on the reasons for their departure, it is clear that the move was linked to internal conflicts within the PDP , as well as discontent with the party's leadership and direction at both the state and national...

A dramatic scene unfolded in Benin City, on Tuesday as armed thugs launched a violent attack on the convoy of former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, forcing supporters, party officials, and journalists to scamper for safety amid a hail of gunfire.

Obi had joined party leaders and supporters for the ceremony at the party’s state secretariat. Gunshots Erupt as Convoy Moves to Oyegun’s Residence Trouble began shortly after the event, when the delegation departed the ADC Secretariat and headed for the home of elder statesman .

In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s security establishment, Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has resigned from his post, ending a controversial tenure marked by legal battles and intense public scrutiny. Sources within the Presidential Villa in Abuja say President Bola Ahmed Tinubu summoned Egbetokun on Monday , where he was reportedly instructed to step down and prepare his handover notes — a request the top police officer ultimately complied with. According to multiple security sources, Egbetokun’s resignation came amid rising pressure over his continued stay in office well past the age and service limits traditionally observed in the Nigeria Police Force. Critics and legal experts argued his position had become untenable despite a 2024 amendment to the Police Act that allowed for extended tenure. Though no official statement has yet been issued by the Presidency or Nigeria Police Force, preparations are already underw...

ADC has admitted that some of its polling unit agents were compromised during Saturday’s Area Council elections, a development the party says contributed to its disappointing performance at the polls. In a statement released on Sunday, the party expressed deep concern over what it described as “internal sabotage,” revealing that several accredited agents failed to carry out their duties with the expected level of integrity and commitment. According to the ADC, some polling agents abandoned their posts, while others failed to properly transmit or defend the party’s results during collation. The party maintained that this breakdown in internal coordination severely affected its chances across multiple Area Councils. The leadership also disclosed that it would launch a thorough investigation to identify and sanction those involved in the alleged compromise. Strengthening training, monitoring, and evaluation mechanisms for polling agents is now a top priority, the party add...

A common question arises during Ramadan: What happens when a fasting Muslim travels from a place where the fast is shorter to a destination where the fast is significantly longer? For example, someone who normally fasts 13 hours leaves his hometown after fasting for 8 hours , but upon arrival discovers that the people there still have 8 hours remaining before Maghrib. This means his fast will end up much longer than usual. So, what should he do? Islam provides a clear and practical answer backed by Qur’an, Sunnah, and scholarly consensus. Follow the Fasting Time of the Place You Are In The general Islamic principle is that a Muslim must follow the prayer and fasting times of the location he is currently in , not the place he came from. This is based on the maxim: “The fasting person follows the land he is in.” Therefore, when he arrives at his new destination, he must continue fasting until Maghrib in that place , even if it makes his fast longer than what he i...

As Nigeria’s six-month ban on the export of raw shea nuts expires, the Federal Government is facing renewed pressure from exporters and industry stakeholders to lift the restriction, even as pro-industrialisation advocates push for a continuation of the policy to strengthen local processing. The temporary ban, introduced in August 2025, was aimed at discouraging the export of raw shea nuts and encouraging domestic value addition through the production of shea butter, oil and other derivatives. Officials argued that despite Nigeria accounting for nearly 40 percent of global shea kernel output, the country captures only about one percent of the multibillion-dollar global shea market due to limited processing capacity. Stakeholders Press for Clarity With the ban officially ending on February 26, exporters are calling for a clear directive from the government. Thousands of tonnes of raw shea nuts have been stockpiled in warehouses across producing states, awaiting final pol...
