Iran’s Supreme leader Khamenei orders direct military retaliation on US interests, says there will be no proxy attacks

Amidst the outrage in Iran over the US killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and his three day state funeral, which concludes on Tuesday, Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called for direct retaliation against the United States, rejecting the use of proxy attacks.

Buhari can’t intervene in increased electricity charges – Femi Adesina

He reiterated the ministry's stance that any tariff adjustments will only come into effect from April and suggested leaving the issue as it stands for now. He empha...
