 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv.

High-Stakes Legal Drama Unfolds as Emefiele’s Trial Faces January 18 Showdown

In a riveting turn of events, the Federal Capital Territory High Court has deferred the continuation of the alleged procurement fraud trial involving the former Central Bank of Nigeria’s Governor, Godwin Emefiele, to January 18, 2024.

Emefiele stands accused of leveraging his position to grant a corrupt advantage, purportedly awarding a staggering N1.2 billion contract for 43 vehicles to CBN staff member Sa’adatu Yaro between 2018 and 2020.

Following his arrest, Emefiele spent time in the confines of the Kuje Correctional Centre, awaiting a ruling on his bail application.

On November 22, Justice Hamza Muazu granted him bail in the substantial sum of N300 million. However, this legal reprieve comes with stringent conditions, as the former CBN governor must secure two sureties, each possessing certificates of occupancy and titles to properties within Abuja’s upscale Maitama district.

As the high-profile case unfolds, the spotlight remains fixed on Emefiele, who, as of now, has been unable to meet the stringent bail conditions.

The scene at the court was intense as armed personnel from the Nigerian Correctional Service escorted him in and out, underscoring the gravity of the allegations surrounding one of the nation’s former financial leaders.
