Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Kabiru Tanimu Turaki (SAN).

The court, presided over by Justice Keke Meke, also refused an application by the defence counsel seeking to quash the charges against the defendant.

Turaki is to be arraigned before the court by the Nigeria Police Force, led by the Inspector General of Police, over allegations of providing false information to the police.

Earlier, the matter had been assigned to a High Court sitting in Zuba. However, Turaki failed to appear in court to take his plea. Subsequently, his legal team filed a petition against the judge and requested that the case be reassigned.

In his ruling delivered on Thursday, Justice Meke held that there was no justification for the defendant’s absence, noting that Turaki was fully aware of the court proceedings. The judge therefore ordered his arrest.

During the proceedings, prosecution counsel, Rabiu Umar, opposed the application by defence counsel, Abdulaziz Ibrahim, who had urged the court to quash the charges.

The matter has been adjourned to April 22 for arraignment.

A sharp contradiction has emerged between Washington and Tehran over the state of diplomatic contacts between the two countries, with Iranian state media Press TV flatly denying that any negotiations — direct or indirect — have taken place, even as United States President Donald Trump claimed that talks had been productive and were set to continue. Trump made the disclosure early Monday on his Truth Social platform, writing in all capitals that the two countries had engaged in “very good and productive conversations” over the past two days aimed at achieving “a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.” The US president said he had ordered a halt to his threatened strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure in light of the talks, signalling what appeared to be a diplomatic breakthrough.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that ongoing negotiations led by U.S. President Donald Trump to end the conflict with Iran will not stop Israel from carrying out military operations in the region. “The United States may choose to withdraw from the war, which I respect, but Israel will not. Israel will continue bombing Iran and Lebanon, whether negotiations succeed or not, until all threats to our nation from these countries are eliminated,” Netanyahu told journalists. The statement underscores Israel’s firm stance on national security, even as international efforts continue to mediate tensions in the Middle East.

Jehovah’s Witnesses have introduced a notable shift in their long-standing stance on bl+od transfusions, now allowing members to use their own stored bl+od during medical procedures. Under the updated policy, members can have their bl+od removed, preserved, and later reinfused, particularly in planned s¥rgeries. However, the religious group maintains its strict prohibition against receiving bl+od from others. Gerrit Lösch, a member of the group’s leadership, said the decision reflects personal responsibility, noting that “each Christian must decide for himself how his bl+od will be used in medical and s¥rgical care.” Jehovah’s Witnesses, known for their door-to-door evangelism, say their core belief remains unchanged, citing biblical teachings that instruct followers to “abstain from bl+od.” The group has around 144,000 members in the UK and about nine million globally. Despite the adjustment, critics, especially former members, argue the change falls short. Mitch Melo...
