Former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Professor Chidi Odinkalu, has suggested that the alleged conspiracy between Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello has hit an insurmountable obstacle.

Odinkalu, in a post on his X handle, claimed that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has become a significant problem for Akpabio and Bello.

The statement came after Akpoti-Uduaghan received an overwhelming welcome from supporters in Kogi State on Tuesday – despite an existing government ban on rallies and processions.

Supporters from Kogi Central’s five local government areas gathered early in Ihima, Okehi LGA, to welcome the embattled PDP lawmaker.

Reacting to the massive crowd that turned out for the Kogi senator, Odinkalu stated that Akpoti-Uduaghan achieved electoral success without resorting to rigging.

He said: “In Kogi State, the criminal conspiracy of @Senator_Akpabio & @OfficialGYBKogi has run into an irrepressible problem. The name of that problem is @NatashaAkpoti. This woman won an election without rigging, something that neither Akpabio nor Yahaya Bello can do. You see!”

Putin embarks on biggest Russian military call-up in years

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called up 160,000 men aged 18 to 30 as the country moves to expand its armed forces.

The BBC reports this marks Russia’s largest conscription drive since 2011.

The move follows Putin’s announcement last year that Russia needed to increase its total military personnel to 2.39 million, including 1.5 million active combat troops.

Vice Admiral Vladimir Tsimlyansky has stated that the new conscripts won’t be deployed to Ukraine, where Russia continues what it terms its “special military operation”.

This spring draft, running from April through July, comes amid ongoing US efforts to broker a ceasefire in the conflict.

While Russia typically conducts conscription drives each spring and autumn, the current call-up of 160,000 represents an increase of 10,000 compared to the same period in 2024.

Since last year, Russia has expanded its conscription pool by raising the maximum draft age from 27 to 30.

Trump administration seeks death sentence against Mangione for Thompson’s killing

United States federal prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

US attorney general, Pam Bondi said Thompson was shot outside a Manhattan hotel on 4 December.

In a statement on Tuesday, Bondi said that she’s “directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty” for the accused because he allegedly committed “a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America”.

According to the attorney general, the move is in an effort to “carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again”.

Mangione, according to the prosecutors, had a spiral notebook in which he expressed hostility toward the health insurance industry and wealthy executives.

UnitedHealthcare has come out to say Mangione was never a client.

Among the entries, the complaint said, was one from August 2024 that said “the target is insurance” because “it checks every box” and one from October that describes an intent to “wack” an insurance company CEO.

The accused person is facing both state and federal charges in connection with Thompson’s killing.

He has pleaded not guilty to the state charges and has not entered a plea to the federal ones.

The United States and Lithuanian officials said on Tuesday that a fourth US Army soldier, who together with three others went missing in Lithuania last week when their vehicle sank in a peat bog, has been found dead.

DAILY POST reported earlier that the three other soldiers were found dead on Monday after rescuers recovered the armoured vehicle of the four missing soldiers in a military training area near the border with Belarus.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, in a post on X, offered condolences to the government of the United States.

“Deeply saddened to announce that the body of the fourth U.S. soldier, who was training in Lithuania, has been found,” he wrote.

Also, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the fourth death, telling reporters at a White House press briefing that President Donald Trump and his administration were praying for all of the victims and their families.

Nauseda also thanked those who helped find the one remaining soldier still missing under such challenging conditions.

It was gathered that rescuers had spent days digging to recover the M88 Hercules armoured recovery vehicle the soldiers were using as part of an exercise at the Pabrade training ground, where US units have been rotating since 2019.
