FOUR MEN SENTENCED TO DEATH OVER DEADLY NIGERIAN CHURCH MASSACRE THAT SHOCKED THE WORLD

More than 40 worshippers lost their lives and over 100 people were injured in the devastating attack on St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Nigeria.
A Federal High Court has now sentenced four convicted members of a terrorist group to death by hanging after finding them guilty of terrorism-related charges.
The court ruled that evidence, including forensic findings and witness testimony, linked the convicts to the planning and ex*****on of the attack.
A fifth defendant was acquitted after the court found insufficient evidence connecting him to the massacre.
The Pentecost Sunday attack remains one of the deadliest assaults on a place of worship in Nigeria's recent history.

Do you believe this verdict will strengthen the fight against terrorism and bring justice to the victims' families?

TERRORISTS THREATEN TO FORCE-MARRY ABDUCTED WIVES OF KWARA TRADITIONAL RULER OVER ₦150 MILLION RANSOM

Fresh fear has gripped Kwara State after terrorists reportedly threatened to marry off abducted wives of the Emir of Yashikira and other female captives if their ₦150 million ransom demand is not met.

ARMENIA REJECTS PUTIN'S DEMAND AS TENSIONS WITH RUSSIA ESCALATE OVER EU TIES

Armenia has publicly rejected Russian President Vladimir Putin's call for a referendum on joining the European Union.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said there is currently no reason to hold such a vote unless Armenia formally applies for EU membership.
The dispute comes as Russia bans some Armenian fish imports and recalls its ambassador for consultations.
Relations between the two longtime allies have been deteriorating since Azerbaijan's 2023 offensive, which Armenia says Russia failed to prevent.
Putin recently warned that countries cannot belong to both the EU and the Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union.
With elections approaching, the EU has accused Russia of trying to influence Armenia's political direction through economic pressure.

Is Armenia right to pursue closer ties with Europe, or should it preserve its traditional alliance with Russia?
