The driver, Nice Andrew, who was arrested by the State Security Service (DSS) and handed over to the police, had claimed that the lady was murdered by armed men who attacked her in the bus.

President Joe Biden in yet another massive blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to ban Russian oil as soon as today . The move comes as Putin’s illegal war and alleged war crimes against the sovereign nation of Ukraine is going exceptionally poorly amid almost universal worldwide condemnation of the authoritarian Russian Federation leader and former KGB agent. Biden’s ban will be “without the participation” of America’s European allies, Bloomberg News reports. “The ban will include Russian oil, liquefied natural gas and coal, according to two people, who spoke on condition of anonymity.” The House has been working on a bill to ban Russian oil as well. The ban could increase the price of gas at the pump, which hit an all-time high Monday, causing conservatives to use the news to attack the Biden administration. Overall, the President has little to no control over the price of gas, but the oil companies do, as U.S. Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) noted on Monday: Here''s a fact you won''t hear on Fox News today.

Increasingly, real estate is becoming an irresistible investment destination, attracting both small and big, local and foreign investment interests mostly in Nigeria’s big cities—Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. Though investors have seen growth and value appreciation in other new residential communities in Nigeria, Lagos especially, the experience from Lekki Phase 1 in Lagos is the reason those of them that are yield-hungry are now look outing, asking to know where the next big thing exists for them.
