The trial judge, Justice Yusuf Halilu, trying to organise the court, asked supporters to vacate their seats so that lawyers could seat. Justice Halilu also asked journalists and lawyers to leave the court. He said names of persons that would be allowed in would be called. Lawmakers supporting the Senate President are also locked outside the court. In the affidavit filed on June 10, the Investigative Police Officer (IPO), swore that the investigation into the case had been concluded. The affidavit read: “The charges filed through the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation, by the Federal Government, against the senators reads that you, Salisu Abubakar Maikasuwa, Benedict Efeturi, Dr. Olubukola Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu, on or about, the 9th of June, 2015, at the National Assembly complex, Three Arms Zone, Abuja, within the jurisdiction of this court, conspired amongst yourselves to forge the Senate Standing Order, 2011 (as amended) and you thereby committed the offence of conspiracy, punishable under Section 97 (1) of the Penal Code Law”. It also accused them of allegedly forging the Order, causing it to be believed as the genuine Standing Order, 2015 and circulated same for use during the inauguration of the 8th Senate of the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Senator Saraki has maintained that he knows nothing about how the rules adopted in the inauguration of the Eighth Senate on June 9, 2015 was formulated. He said the on-going efforts to drag him into a case of forgery before the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, was just another phase in the orchestrated persecution he has faced since he emerged as Senate President a little over a year ago. Saraki, in a statement by his spokesman, Mr Yusuph Olaniyonu, stated that he was not a part of the leadership of the 7th Senate that made the rules in question and prior to his unanimous election as Senate President on June 9, 2015, he was merely a Senator-elect like all his colleagues and therefore was not in a position to influence the rules that were to be used in the conduct of the election.

The governor of the Kirov Region, Nikita Belykh, has been caught red-handed while receiving a bribe of €400,000 ($446,000). The official was getting the money from a company associated with the criminal case of anti-corruption activist Aleksey Navalny. The head of the region in Central Russia has been detained and a criminal case launched, spokesman of Russia’s Investigative Committee Vladimir Markin announced on Friday. Belykh was caught red-handed while receiving the money in euro currency at a Moscow restaurant, he added, saying that investigators will seek the governor’s arrest. The euro notes were apparently marked by police. According to investigators, Belykh was getting the money for his actions in favor of the bribe-giver, who controlled two companies – the Novovyatsky Ski Plant and Forestry Managing Company. The latter entity is associated with Russian opposition figure Aleksey Navalny. Among its co-founding companies in 2010 was the Kirovles (Kirov Forest), which was later involved in the criminal case against Navalny. In 2013, the activist was found guilty by a Kirov court of embezzlement within the Kirovles. Originally sentenced to five years in prison, Navalny’s sentence was later changed to suspended, with a fine of 500,000 rubles ($7,700).

Worried by the incessant attacks on oil facilities by the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, and other factional Militants, President Muhammadu Buhari Friday night went spiritual, pleading with militants in God’s name to have a change of heart over their attacks. The president who stated that he doesn’t know how many factions of the militants there are in the Niger Delta, said that the groups were armed with sophisticated weapons and that the economy was on its knees following the bombing of gas pipelines. He also pleaded with friends and associates of the militants to reach out to them for, stressing that Nigerians do not have any other country to call their own other than Nigeria. The president made the call at the breaking- of-fast dinner with leaders and chieftains of his political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. He said: “I honestly don’t know how many factions of the militants there are in the Niger Delta compared to the north east where you have only the Boko Haram “The technology being deployed by the militants to destroy oil installations is high tech, the way they can go on high sea and international waters and target oil installations is a national problem. It is affecting development. “No insurance company will want to insure installations that will end up being blown up and no banks will want to finance such installations. “Those of you who have friends among the leadership or even the militants themselves should plead with them in the name of God Almighty to take it easy. “We need to stablise to create employment, we need to stabilise the economy, I agonise over these things. We are in a very difficult time, so we have to organise ourselves. Anybody that says he has any other country than Nigeria should go out and see.”

"Jose is quite simply the best manager in the game today," said United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
Mourinho, 53, said: "To become Manchester United manager is a special honour in the game. It is a club known and admired throughout the world."
He said he had always "felt an affinity with Old Trafford" and claimed he has "always enjoyed a rapport with the United fans".

Mourinho has been out of work since being sacked as boss of Premier League rivals Chelsea in December.
"His track record of success is ideal to take the club forward," said Woodward.
"He has won trophies and inspired players in countries across Europe and, of course, he knows the Premier League very well, having won three titles here."

– Ese gave birth at about 10.15am on Thursday, May 26, at the State Government House clinic in Yenagoa
– Charles Oruru, the girl’s father, said that both the mother and the baby were in good health conditions
Ese Oruru was abducted by a Hausa man and forced into early marriage last year.
Ese Oruru, the 14-year-old girl, who was allegedly kidnapped and impregnated by Kano state-born Yunusa Dahiru, delivered of a baby girl on Thursday, May 26.
The Nation reports that Ese gave birth at about 10.15am at the State Government House clinic in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa state capital.

Ese’s case is currently before the Federal High Court in Yenagoa, where her alleged kidnapper, Dahiru, is facing a five-count charge of kidnapping, unlawful carnal knowledge and sexual exploitation of a minor.
Dahiru has been in prison custody as he was unable to fulfil the bail conditions slammed by the court.
A week ago, Justice Aliya Nganjiwa granted the request of the prosecution to take the evidence of Ese Oruru in private at the resumed pre-trial hearing in the trial of Dahiru Yunusa.

A Chevron oil installation in the Niger Delta was blown on Thursday morning in attack already claimed by the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA).
The Thursday attack was the latest damage to Nigeria’s oil infrastructure that is dragging output to 20-year lows.
NDA appeared to claim the attack late Wednesday in a statement on a Twitter account bearing its name that said it had blown up the main electricity feed pipeline at the Escravos oil terminal.
We Warned #Chevron but they didn't Listen. @Niger Delta Avengers just blow up the Escravos tank farm Main Electricity Feed PipeLine.

The twitter account leads to a website which contains posts on the activities of the group. The posts were signed by one Col. Mudoch Agbinibo.
The NDA, the most high-profile group to emerge recently in the increasingly volatile Niger Delta, has launched a series of attacks in recent months that have choked output from oil giants Chevron, Shell and ENI and helped push up global crude prices.
The attack would “reduce Chevron’s capability to export crude oil via Escravos,” Dirk Steffen, from the Denmark-based Risk Intelligence firm, told AFP.
“The main threat posed by this development is the severely reduced oil output, which puts further pressure on the financially constrained … government,” Steffen added.
Chevron declined to comment on the attack.
Earlier this month, NDA claimed another attack on Chevron, saying they had damaged a valve platform and later warning the company not to fix the broken infrastructure.
The NDA also claimed responsibility for attacking Shell’s Forcados underwater pipeline in February, while earlier this week Eni declared a force majeure following an attack on its Brass Rivers terminal.
“These incidents have raised fears of a renewed insurgency in the southern region,” PGI Intelligence, a London-based security analysis company, said in a May 24 report.
“Pipeline attacks are likely to continue at their current frequency in at least the short to medium term, and the security situation could deteriorate further if a government crackdown on suspected militants provokes a broader backlash.”
Nigerian junior oil minister Emmanuel Kachikwu recently said oil production had fallen from 2.2 million barrels per day to 1.4 million barrels per day — the lowest level since the 1990s.
President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to restore stability to Nigeria’s south, whose oil exports account for 70 percent of government revenue.
However, there are fears a heavy-handed response will drive others to join the militants, who are demanding a greater share of oil wealth for the impoverished region.
