Wike taking loans for FCT without National Assembly approval – Kingibe alleges The senator representing the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Ireti Kingibe, has alleged that the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has been taking loans for the nation’s capital without the approval of the National Assembly. Kingibe made the allegation on Tuesday during an interview. She was discussing the FCT administration, the Abuja master plan and the oversight responsibilities of the National Assembly. According to her, records from the Debt Management Office, DMO, indicated that loans had been taken for the FCT between August 2023 and March 2026, despite Wike not appearing before the Senate to seek approval for such borrowing. “I am definitely saying Wike has been taking loans without the approval of the National Assembly. “I’m sorry to say, with all due respect to the Senate, of which I’m a member, we’re supposed to oversee him. “We’re supposed to approve, and I have brought to the attention of the leadershi...

U.S INTERVENES TO SUPPORT ISRAEL IN SOUTH AFRICA'S ICJ CASE ON GAZA GENOCIDE. (PHOTO).


 U.S intervenes to support Israel in South Africa's ICJ case on Gaza genocide


The United States will defend its ally Israel against accusations at the top United Nations court that it breached the Genocide Convention during its Gaza campaign, the court said Friday.


Washington filed a so-called "declaration of intervention" at the International Court of Justice, which is examining the genocide case against Israel brought by South Africa.


"The United States affirms, in the strongest terms possible, that the allegations of 'genocide' against Israel are false," said Washington in its filing, AFP reported.


The US said South Africa's case was the latest in a series "to level false charges of 'genocide' against Israel" that it said had been going on for decades.


War breaches convention


South Africa brought its case before the ICJ in December 2023, arguing the Gaza war breached the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention, an accusation Israel has strongly denied.


More than a dozen countries have since applied to join the case, meaning they will present their views in court when it is heard - a process that could yet take years.


Many have voiced their intention to argue on the side of South Africa, paving the way for a wide-ranging showdown in the Peace Palace, where the court sits.


ICJ judges have already issued emergency rulings in the case, including ordering Israel to do everything to prevent genocide in Gaza and allow aid in.


Legally binding


In a separate ruling, the ICJ also said Israel was obliged to provide Palestinians with the "basic needs" for survival.


The orders of the ICJ, based in the Hague, are legally binding but it has no way of enforcing them.


Fighting in Gaza has eased since a US-brokered ceasefire in October between Israel and Hamas, but sporadic outbursts of violence continue to occur.
