 Türkiye is planning to establish local defence production facilities and military training centres in Nigeria as part of efforts to strengthen security cooperation and increase bilateral trade to $5 billion. Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Mehmet Poroy, disclosed this on Monday in Abuja, saying the proposed facilities would enable Türkiye to support local military equipment production rather than simply supplying weapons and equipment.

Trump calls for Netanyahu to be pardoned on corruption charges

Trump said Netanyahu has been a “great wartime prime minister” and called Herzog “disgraceful” for withholding a pardon, adding, “He should give it.”

Netanyahu met with Trump in Washington on Wednesday for the seventh time since Trump took office, discussing issues including Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missile threats. Netanyahu, the first sitting Israeli prime minister to face criminal charges, denies accusations of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust stemming from a 2019 indictment. Under Israeli law, the president can grant pardons, but there is no precedent for issuing one while a trial is ongoing. Herzog’s office said Netanyahu’s request is still under review by the Ministry of Justice, emphasizing that no decision has yet been made.
