 El-Rufai’s Family Protests SSS Detention, Alleges Torture, Medical Neglect Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai has continued to face controversy over his detention, as members of his family and supporters staged a protest in Abuja on Monday over his custody by the State Security Service (SSS). The demonstrators, which included Senator Lawal Adamu and close relatives of the former governor, accused security authorities of subjecting him to psychological pressure and denying him access to medical care despite existing court directives. Speaking outside the SSS facility, El-Rufai’s second wife, Asia, said the family had been living under fear due to what she described as persistent surveillance and security intimidation connected to the case. According to her, the tension increased after El-Rufai appeared before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja, where he was granted bail before the matter was adjourned.  She alleged that despite prior arr...

 Reports say Iranian strikes caused billions in damage to US military bases and equipment across the Gulf region

Iranian strikes reportedly inflicted billions of dollars in damage on U.S. military bases and equipment across the Gulf region, raising questions about the Trump administration’s disclosure of the full cost of repairs and battlefield losses. According to individuals familiar with the aftermath, the attacks hit runways, radar systems, aircraft, command centers, hangars, warehouses, and satellite communications infrastructure across multiple U.S. and allied installations in the Middle East. The total damage is estimated to reach as high as $5 billion for repairs alone, not including additional losses to weapons systems and equipment deemed beyond repair.

The reported damage spans several countries, including Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar, and Iraq. Early in the conflict, Camp Buehring in Kuwait was among the first sites struck, followed by damage at Al Dhafra Air Base and Al Ruwais in the UAE, as well as facilities in Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Additional impacts were later reported at Camp Arifjan and Shuaiba Port in Kuwait, along with other key installations across the region. Officials say the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain sustained significant destruction that alone could require hundreds of millions of dollars in repairs, along with damage to air defense systems and other military infrastructure.

Beyond fixed installations, losses are also believed to include at least one fighter jet, multiple MQ-9 Reaper drones, transport aircraft, helicopters, and surveillance planes. Some assessments suggest Iranian forces also struck facilities in Qatar and northern Iraq. While military spending on munitions during the opening days of the conflict was already estimated in the billions, lawmakers have raised concerns about the lack of detailed briefings on repair costs and overall war damage. Officials familiar with congressional discussions say requests for clearer accounting have gone largely unanswered, fueling frustration over what some describe as limited transparency despite a rapidly growing financial toll.
