 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. The bombardment stretched from night into daylight, with explosions reported across wide areas of the country. Kyiv residents had been on alert for days after warnings of a major aerial attack, including advisories for foreign diplomats to leave the capital. Despite those warnings, most remained in pl...

 Outrage as Anambra Government Demolishes Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Head Office


The Anambra State government has sparked controversy by demolishing parts of the head office of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) in Nnewi, along the Owerri-Nnewi road, on April 16. The partial demolition, which affected the office’s perimeter fence, some offices, a staircase, and the company’s showroom, has drawn sharp criticism from IVM, which claims it received no prior notification.


Mr. Cornel Osigwe, Head of Corporate Communications at Innoson Group, confirmed the incident to our correspondent on Saturday, describing the demolition as sudden and disruptive. “The staff were working when the demolition vehicle began tearing down the building. Some workers were trapped inside, and over 20 vehicles were also trapped,” Osigwe said. He noted that while a public announcement had been made a day earlier about demolitions with a one-week relocation notice for marked buildings, IVM was unaware its head office was targeted.


Osigwe questioned why other nearby marked buildings were spared, raising concerns about possible ulterior motives. “The way this happened makes us wonder if those handling the demolition have a personal vendetta against the company,” he said, though he dismissed suggestions of a political witch-hunt, citing Governor Charles Soludo’s support for IVM.


Defending the action, Anambra State Commissioner for Works, Mr. Ifeanyi Okoma, insisted the IVM head office was among buildings marked for demolition to facilitate road construction aimed at easing traffic congestion during festive periods. “These buildings were marked in December or January. This is not personalized; it affects all structures along the road, including the Catholic Church,” Okoma said. He emphasized Soludo’s commitment to IVM, noting that the governor exclusively uses Innoson vehicles and urged against misrepresenting the demolition exercise.
