 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.

AFTER SPENDING 26 YEARS ON DEATH ROW AT KIRIKIRI MAXIMUM PRISON FOR BUYING A STOLEN GENERATOR, MAN REUNITES WITH HIS MOTHER. (PHOTOS).


 After 26 Years on Death Row for Buying a Stolen Generator, Ogbonna Igbojionu Reunites With His Mother in a Triumphant Testimony of Hope and Redemption.

 Ogbonna Igbojionu, a native of Abia State, has emerged victorious after spending 26 years on death row at Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison in Lagos. He was just 22 years old in 1999 when he was arrested and convicted for unknowingly purchasing a stolen generator — a crime that led to a death sentence. Now 48, Ogbonna stepped out of prison a free man after a long and harrowing legal ordeal, during which he consistently maintained his innocence. 

His case, like many others, highlights deep flaws in Nigeria’s justice system — particularly in how poor and unconnected individuals can be handed severe punishments without adequate legal representation. 

Tears flowed as Ogbonna reunited with his ageing mother, who had prayed and waited for decades to see her son again. Their emotional embrace marked a bittersweet moment — a mixture of joy, pain, and lost years. Human rights groups and legal advocates who helped secure his release are now calling for urgent reform of the justice system, especially around the use of capital punishment for non-violent crimes and the treatment of suspects who cannot afford proper legal counsel.
