 U.S prepares for potential increase in lone wolf terror attacks amid Iran conflict  Recent attacks on a synagogue in Michigan and a university in Virginia have raised concerns that the ongoing war in Iran could be inspiring “lone wolf” terror incidents in the United States, according to law enforcement veterans. Authorities are investigating a vehicular assault at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, which left several injured and the suspect dead, as well as a deadly shooting targeting an ROTC class at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, where students were able to subdue the attacker. Both suspects—Ayman Mohamad Ghazali in Michigan and Mohamed Bailor Jalloh in Virginia—were naturalized U.S. citizens from Lebanon and Sierra Leone, respectively.

 Supreme Court Rejects Suit Seeking To Compel FG To Account For Gas Earnings


The Supreme Court has struck out a suit by the 36 state governments seeking to among others, compel the Federal Government to account for its earnings from the sale of liquefied natural gas, natural gas liquids and related products since 1999.


In a unanimous judgment, a seven-member panel of the court, presided over by Justice Uwani Abba-Aji held that the court lacked the original jurisdiction to hear and determine the suit, which has the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) as the sole defendant.


In the lead judgment, Justice Mohammed Lawal Garba upheld the preliminary objection raised against the suit by the AGF and held that the subject of the case had been dealt with by the Supreme Court in its earlier decision in the case of the Attorney General of Bauchi State against the AGF.


Justice Garba agreed with the defendant that the suit amounted to an attempt to re-litigate issues already decided by the Supreme Court in the AG, Bauchi v. AGF case, which relates to the revenues accruable to the government of the federation, which are payable into the federation account.


He held that the Supreme Court lacked the original jurisdiction to preside over and determine the case.


The judge proceeded to strike out the suit for want of jurisdiction to hear the case as presently constituted.


Other members of the panel – Justices Abba-Aji, Emmanuel Agim, Simon Tsammani, Stephen Adah and Jamilu Tukur agreed with the lead judgment.
