@dailyplug9ja: Here's everything that happened in Nigeria in the last 12 hours. An International Chamber of Commerce tribunal in Paris issued a landmark ruling rejecting a three-billion-dollar claim against Nigeria, giving the federal government a massive legal victory that clears all hurdles for the Mambilla hydroelectric project. Up to forty suspected illegal miners were found dead inside a Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps detention facility in Minna, prompting the national headquarters to launch a high-powered investigation into a suspected disease outbreak. Saudi Arabia officially rejected Nigeria’s request for extra slots for the 2027 Hajj pilgrimage, strictly freezing the total allocation at fifty thousand pilgrims due to critical capacity constraints across the holy sites. A Nigerian federal court sentenced South African national Jessica Ann to twenty-five years in prison, handing down the heavy jail term after convicting her for illegally importing nearly six kilograms of heroin into the country. The mutilated corpse of an unidentified woman was discovered along a stream in a Jos forest reserve, prompting Plateau State police authorities to launch an emergency homicide investigation to identify the victim and capture the killers. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission issued a stern warning to Point of Sale operators nationwide, declaring that any agent aiding fraudsters or laundering illicit funds will face immediate criminal arrest and prosecution. The Northern States Christian Elders Forum urged President Bola Tinubu to immediately reverse the recent petrol price hike, warning that citizens' patience with worsening economic hardships should not be mistaken for widespread public acceptance. #NigeriaNews #NewsUpdate #BreakingNews #News
