 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.

SUPREME COURT DISMISSES TRIAL OF MAJOR HAMZA AL-MUSTAPHA IN KUDIRAT ABIOLA'S MURDER.(PHOTO).


 SUPREME COURT DISMISSES TRIAL OF MAJOR HAMZA AL-MUSTAPHA IN KUDIRAT ABIOLA'S MURDER. 


The supreme court has dismissed the trial of the former chief security officer to the late military head of state, General Sani Abacha, Hamza Al-Mustapha in the murder of the wife of the  late politician,MKO Abiola, late  Kudirat Abiola.


Kudirat Abiola was the wife of the late businessman and  politician, MKO Abiola, the presumed winner of the june 12, 1993 presidential election that was annulled by former president Ibrahim Babangida.

 

Kudirat Abiola was murdered in Lagos in the nationwide crisis that followed the annulment and in the course of her persistent struggle to get the annulment reversed by the military. 


The trial of Al-Mustapha in the murder charge brought against him by the Lagos state government was  however, put to rest with the verdict of a 5-man panel of justices of the supreme court headed by justice Uwani Aba-Aji. 


The supreme court in a unanimous decision agreed that Lagos state government has lost interest in the matter and consequently abandoned it. 


Justice Aba-Aji held that nine years was long enough for the appellant to have filed notice of appeal and the brief of appeal in the matter. 


 The apex court equally expressed disgust that no legal representation was made by the Lagos  state government while no information was made available to the court and the respondent despite being served with hearing notice since 2020. The court therefore dismissed the matter.
