Blaming opposition for hunger is ‘delusion’, Atiku tells Tinubu Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused President Bola Tinubu of blaming the opposition for the country’s economic hardship. He said the President was trying to evade responsibility for his administration’s policies. Tinubu had earlier on Saturday blamed his political opponents for hunger and poverty in the country while speaking at the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna. “I hear my opponent talking about hunger, poverty.

Israeli military clears soldiers of sexual assault charges involving Palestinian detainee


  The Israeli military announced it is dropping charges against five soldiers who had been accused of sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee, in a case that has sparked intense controversy across the country. The alleged incident reportedly took place on July 5, 2024, at Sde Teiman military prison, which was established to hold Palestinians detained during Israel’s conflict with the Hamas militant group in Gaza.

Footage that circulated in Israeli media appeared to show the soldiers leading the detainee into a shielded area, seemingly to conceal their actions. The indictment had alleged that the soldiers assaulted the prisoner and caused severe injuries, including a perforated rectum, broken ribs, and blunt trauma to the chest and abdomen. Medical personnel said the detainee underwent surgery before being returned to the prison. The arrests provoked violent protests from far-right ultranationalists and criticism from some government officials, while the military’s top legal officer resigned after admitting to authorizing the video’s release. Israel maintains that its forces operate under military and international law, investigating any allegations of abuse, though concerns over accountability have persisted, particularly during the Gaza conflict.
