Recall that Magu, after an interrogation by the presidency was suspended on Tuesday, July 7.

In a Facebook post, the former senator representing Kaduna central accused Magu of running a “cult” in the agency.

Sani alleged that the select team of ”vicious and cruel” officers known as “the Magu Boys” or “the Chairman Squad”, operate exclusively and with impunity and only report directly to their boss.

Türkiye Seeks To Join South Africa’s Genocide Case Against Israel At ICJ

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Türkiye will join in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Lifestyle Nigeria reports that Fidan, on Wednesday at a joint news conference with Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi in the Turkish capital, Ankara, said “Upon completion of the legal text of our work, we will submit the declaration of official intervention before the ICJ with the objective of implementing this political decision.

“Turkey will continue to support the Palestinian people in all circumstances.”

The ICJ has ordered Israel to refrain from any acts that could fall under the Genocide Convention and to ensure its troops commit no genocidal acts against Palestinians after South Africa accused Israel of state-led genocide in Gaza.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in January, said Türkiye was providing documents for the case at the top United Nations court, also known as the World Court.

Türkiye will join Colombia in formally requesting to join the case against Israel.

Last month, the South American country called on the ICJ to allow it to join the case and to ensure “the safety and, indeed, the very existence of the Palestinian people”.

The ICJ may allow states to intervene in cases and give their views.
