  Mr Kanu was sentenced to life imprisonment for terrorism in November 2025 at the Federal High Court in Abuja. Still, his appeal against judgement has not been listed for hearing since February this year The outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has asked the people of the South-east and others in parts of the South-South to withdraw their support for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over the Nigerian government’s delay in listing Nnamdi Kanu’s appeal against his conviction.

(Photos by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has reportedly raided a mansion in California as part of an investigation into disgraced former Democrat Representative Eric Swalwell. The raid was conducted on Tuesday morning at the home of billionaire Stephen Cloobeck, who was a prominent sponsor of Swalwell’s California gubernatorial run this year, according to media reports. After several reports of sexual assault and misconduct allegations came out against Swalwell in April — including from a staffer — Cloobeck and several other supporters pulled their endorsements of the congressman. Cloobeck also later evicted Swalwell from his Beverly Hills property, where he previously allowed the congressman to stay “out of concern for his mental well-being” throughout the scandal.   In li...

Israel Decide: Results Show Eisenkot ahead of Netanyahu

Gadi Eisenkot waves during a Yashar party event in Tel Aviv on October 25, 2026 [Ronen Zvulun/Reuters] Share Who is Gadi Eisenkot? on social media Israelites have just exited polling units, meaning the elections are over. Results are rolling as election officials try to collect results. No concrete result is already out but the few results from fields tend to show Eisenkot ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu. The leader of Yashar is a former general who served as Israeli military chief from 2015 to 2019. He is credited with publicly outlining the Dahiyeh Doctrine in 2008, involving “ disproportionate force ” and large-scale destruction of civilian infrastructure against groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas. The 66-year-old entered politics in 2022 with former Defence Minister Benny Gantz’s National Unity alliance and later joined the war cabinet assembled by Netanyahu after the October 7 attacks. His son Gal, 25, and a nephew were killed in December 2023, and another nephew in November 2024, wh...

Poll Projections do not seem to Favour Netanyahu

Image
  Ehab Jabareen, a Palestinian political analyst and researcher in Israel, say the early exit poll projections show “a clear weakening of Netanyahu’s bloc”, without revealing “a clear route to a government that can replace him”. Speaking to Al Jazeera, Jabareen noted that while Likud is still projected to remain the strongest single party in the Knesset, with 24 or 25 seats, its numbers will go down from 32 seats in 2022. “That tells us two things at once: Netanyahu still has a very loyal base, even after October 7 and three years of war, but that base on its own is no longer enough to deliver the majority he needs,” said Jabareen. He expressed caution about “declaring either a Netanyahu victory or the end of his political career”. “The exit polls suggest that his bloc has lost its majority, but they also suggest that his opponents face a difficult task in building one,” he said. “If neither side can form a government, Netanyahu could remain in office as caretaker while the negotia...

Israel Election: Reports Reveal Missing Ballots in Today's Voting

  Voters said that ballots for the Haredi Public Party had been removed from polling stations in Bnei Brak, Modi'in Illit and Jerusalem, with the Civil Election Watch organization saying it had received 23 reports regarding ballots being removed in entire stacks or hidden beneath ballots of other parties, KAN News reported on Tuesday.  According to the report, voters could not find ballots for the party at their polling stations and had to request them from election officials. In Modi'in Illit, one voter said the party's ballots had been hidden beneath those of other parties.  "A stack of Haredi Public ballots disappeared instantly," election observers in Modi'in Illit said, according to KAN.  A Bnei Brak voter expressed concern that if voters are forced to request the correct ballots to be provided or found as his wife did, not every woman will do so.  "Not every woman will feel comfortable asking polling station officials, all of whom are Haredi, why ba...
