 El-Rufai To Remain In ICPC Custody As Court Delays Bail Hearing Until June Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai will remain in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) until at least June 2026 after his bail hearing was postponed. Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court adjourned the hearing to the first week of June.  El-Rufai is currently facing an amended nine-count charge involving alleged fraud and abuse of office brought against him by the ICPC. The former governor had earlier appeared in court to seek bail, but the judge deferred ruling on the application.  Meanwhile, in a separate case, he was granted bail by Justice Rilwanu Aikawa of the Federal High Court in Kaduna, set at ₦200 million.  Despite this, the court directed that he remain in ICPC custody until all bail conditions are met. Among the conditions, El-Rufai is prohibited from making public statements about the case and is requi...

Sri Lanka seizes Iranian ship near coast following US sinking of Iranian warship


     Sri Lanka began moving more than 200 sailors from an Iranian vessel to shore Friday after the ship requested assistance while anchored near the country’s waters, following the sinking of an Iranian warship by a U.S. submarine in the Indian Ocean. Sri Lankan Navy spokesperson Cmdr. Buddhika Sampath said 204 crew members of the IRIS Bushehr were brought to the Welisara Naval Base near Colombo, where they underwent border control checks and medical screenings with no health issues reported.

About 15 personnel remained aboard the vessel alongside Sri Lankan naval staff to address a mechanical fault. The Iranian crew is assisting with operational manuals, logs, and ship procedures as the Bushehr remains under Sri Lankan custody, before being moved to the eastern port of Trincomalee. The vessel had been part of regional naval exercises and came under Sri Lankan control after one of its engines failed. Authorities emphasized that their response followed international law and humanitarian principles, maintaining neutrality amid escalating tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran in the region.

The sinking of the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena off Sri Lanka’s coast on Wednesday marked a rare instance of a submarine taking down a surface warship, resulting in 32 rescued sailors and 87 recovered bodies. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the attack, calling it an “atrocity at sea.” Sri Lankan officials said their actions were guided by maritime law and international conventions, aiming to protect lives without siding with any party. Analysts noted that as a neutral state, Sri Lanka is fulfilling its humanitarian obligations while maintaining the legal and diplomatic balance in the increasingly tense Indian Ocean.

Australia confirmed that three of its personnel were aboard the U.S. submarine involved in the strike under the AUKUS security pact, though they were not directly responsible for firing the torpedo. The incident has highlighted the complex challenges for neutral nations like Sri Lanka, balancing humanitarian duties, international law, and the rising military tensions in the region.
