 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.

GUMI ALLEGES US USING NIGERIA AS SMOKESCREEN OVER 'CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE' NARRATIVE 

19th January, 2026    

Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has accused the United States of deliberately using Nigeria as a cover to pursue its strategic interests through claims of a so-called Christian genocide in the country.

Gumi made the allegation while reacting to a social media post by a former senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, who cited a report by The New York Times questioning the credibility of the genocide narrative.

According to Sani, the report revealed that the claims were largely based on unverified information allegedly supplied by an individual identified as Emeka, an Onitsha-based screwdriver trader and operator of a small non-governmental organisation. The report claimed that Emeka asserted he had documented about 125,000 Christian deaths through Google searches.

Sani described the situation as “unfortunate and tragic,” wondering how such an unsubstantiated claim could influence US lawmakers, the presidency and the intelligence community, allegedly resulting in military action. He described the episode as shameful and one of the most “foolish and comical historical events” of modern times.

Reacting in a Facebook post, Gumi dismissed suggestions that the United States was misled, insisting that its intelligence agencies were fully aware of the realities on ground.
“US intelligence is not stupid. They know everything, but wanted a Nigerian cover for their interest,” Gumi wrote.

The controversy follows reports that claims of Christian genocide in Nigeria influenced US President Donald Trump’s alleged order of military airstrikes in Sokoto State, a development that has continued to spark debate and public concern across the country.
