el-Rufai and Senator Sani

Senator Shehu Sani says the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai is responsible for the attack on his campaign office in Kaduna on Saturday morning.

Gunmen had attacked the office on Saturday morning, but the quick arrival of the police prevented the building from being set ablaze.

Sani, in a statement on his facebook said el-Rufai should be held responsible for the attack.

According to Sani, he received a report that some heavily armed thugs raided and attacked his constituency office located at Stadium Roundabout by Constitution Road, Kaduna and unleashed terror on his social media team who were meeting in the office as they vandalized the office in their violent act.

“Some few minutes ago I received a report that some heavily armed thugs raided and attacked my constituency office located at Stadium Roundabout by constitution Road Kaduna.They unleashed terror on my Social media team who were meeting in the office.They vandalized the office in their violent act.

“We have the lead and the information that thugs were fully recruited and paid by political appointees of Governor Nasiru Elrufai. We have the names of the political appointees and we have the names of those they are funding.Right now their details are given to the DSS and the police for investigation,” he said.

Sani said two days ago, attempt to burn down his Family house in Alkalawa Road,Tudun Wada Kaduna by sponsored thugs was thwarted by vigilant residents and neighbours,which led to the brief deployment of policemen in the area.

“I wish to state it categorically clear that I hold Governor Nasiru Elrufai personally responsible for whatever happens to me or any of my family members or supporters. After the use of financial inducement on APC Excos in the state to silence Shehu Sani in the name of suspension, which never worked, they have now taken the road of violence.

“The Governor of the state or his desperate political appointees should know that we can never ever be silenced, coward or intimidated.I call on my supporters never to take the road of violence or retaliation.

“We are men of ideas, of ideals and of peace.Those who take to the road of violence have no place in a democratic society,” he said.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken a concerning regional turn as the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on central Israel. The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace. This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power.
