Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has alleged that the EFCC has refused to accept the ruling of the court which granted him bail.

Malami, who spoke through his media aide, said the commission chased away the bailiff and insisted on his continued detention, citing a high court order that expires today.

Malami, in his statement, also called on the international community and Nigerians of conscience to speak out against the actions of the EFCC, saying that no agency is above the law.

Vice-President, Kashim Shettima has said President Bola Tinubu has ordered the immediate intensification of security operations in Borno State following a terrorist attack on a mosque in Maiduguri.

Shettima disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, noting that additional tactical teams have been deployed to track down and apprehend those responsible for the attack.

Ekwutos  reports that suspected terrorists had on Wednesday evening attacked the Al-Adum Mosque at Gamboru Market, Maiduguri, during prayers, killing five people and injuring several others.

Condemning the attack, the Vice-President described it as “a despicable assault on innocent citizens and the peace of the nation.”

He said the Federal Government was working closely with Borno State authorities and local security agencies to protect vulnerable communities and critical infrastructure across the North East and other parts of the country.

“The Federal Government will not tolerate any attempt to undermine the peace and security of our nation,” Shettima said, adding that security agencies were working round the clock to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice.

The Vice-President expressed sympathy with the Borno State Government, residents, and families of the victims, assuring them that those responsible would face the full weight of the law.

Shettima reaffirmed the Tinubu administration’s commitment to national security, stressing that the government would continue to provide security agencies with the necessary support and resources to combat terrorism in all its forms.

Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has warned against alleged ongoing genocide against Christian faithful in Nigeria.

Ekwutos  reports that there has been a serious and global debate on the claim of genocide against Nigerian Christians.

Some lawmakers in the United States backed by President Donald Trump claimed that Christians are being persecuted in Nigeria for merely believing in Jesus Christ.

Despite the pushback by the Nigerian government officials, Trump designated the nation as Country of Particular Concerns, CPC, with a threat of military invasion to end the alleged Christian massacre.

US congressional delegation was recently in Nigeria to investigate the killing of Christians across the country with a particular concerns on the Middle Belt.

Trump is yet to announce a way forward after the lawmakers visited Nigeria.

Israel broke it’s silence on the matter on Wednesday as Netanyahu said during his Christmas message that attacks against Christians or members of any religion will no longer be tolerated.

He said, “From Jerusalem, I send warm greetings to our Christian friends around the world. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. From here, the Holy Land, Israel, is the only country in the Middle East where the Christian community is thriving.

“Israel is the only country in the Middle East where Christians can practise their faith with full rights and in total freedom, where Christian pilgrims are embraced with open arms and are so deeply appreciated, where Christians can proudly celebrate their traditions and openly do so without any fear.

“The persecution of Christians or members of any religion cannot and must not be tolerated. And Muslim militant displacement and attacks against Christians in Nigeria, that too must end. And it must end now”.
