The bail application of the former governor came up before the court today. April 1. The court adjourned the case after listening to arguments from both the defence and prosecution  El-Rufai was arraigned by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on a 10-count charge bordering on alleged conversion of public property and money laundering. He pleaded not guilty to all the charges. The court ordered that he remain in ICPC custody pending the hearing of his bail application on the fixed date. The former governor arrived at the court premises around 9:00 a.m. in a black Hilux vehicle, accompanied by DSS officials.

COMEDIAN RICKY GERVAIS RECEIVED HIS WALK OF FAME ON FRIDAY. (PHOTO).

 


Ricky Gervais proved he hasn't mellowed with age during his Hollywood Walk of Fame acceptance speech on Friday, delivering the kind of controversial moment that has defined his career.


The 63-year-old comedian received his star on Hollywood Boulevard and used the platform to make his boldest claims yet about the culture wars that have dominated entertainment discourse. "We've had a few weird years of cancel culture, people telling you what you can and can't laugh at or talk about," Gervais declared, "but we pushed back, and we won. Until the next time."

But it was his follow-up comment that really raised eyebrows. 


Gervais thanked fellow Walk of Fame honorees including "Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby, Fatty Arbuckle" - three men who have all faced serious sexual assault allegations, though outcomes varied significantly in each case.

This isn't new territory for Gervais, who famously skewered Hollywood's elite during his Golden Globes hosting stints, particularly his 2020 performance that targeted everyone from Jeffrey Epstein connections to "woke" celebrity culture.


The comedian's philosophy remains unchanged: "You need to know that if you're doing anything of any worth, as many people hate you as love you." His supporters see him as a fearless truth-teller, while critics view his approach as unnecessarily provocative.
