UK PM Fires Interior Minister, Suella Braverman

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday fired Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who drew anger for accusing police of being too lenient with pro-Palestinian protesters.

According to a source in the prime minister’s office, Sunak had “asked Suella Braverman to leave government and she has accepted.”

The Conservative Party said Sunak is carrying out a wider reshuffle which “strengthens his team in government to deliver long-term decisions for a brighter future.”

However, sacking one of the leading figures on the right of the party could pose difficulties for the prime minister as he seeks to get his party united behind him and ready for a general election expected in 2024. (dpa/NAN)

Breaking: Bello, alongside his co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, pleaded not guilty to a 16-count charge of conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, and possession of unlawfully obtained property. Following the plea, Daudu urged the court to consider the bail application filed on November 22, asserting that his client is entitled to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. According to Bello’s counsel, granting bail would enable the former governor to prepare an adequate defense. The defense also claimed Bello’s court appearance was in compliance with a summons issued against him and that he only received the charges late on November 26. However, the EFCC contended that the bail application was premature since it was filed before the defendants’ formal arraignment. “This court only assumed jurisdiction upon the arraignment of the defendants. Bail applications can only be heard after arraignment,” Pinheiro stated. The case revolves around allegations of N110 billion fraud involving state funds. The EFCC accused Bello of diverting funds to acquire several properties, including: No. 35 Danube Street, Maitama, Abuja (N950 million); No. 1160 Cadastral Zone C03, Gwarimpa II, Abuja (N100 million); No. 2 Justice Chukwudifu Oputa Street, Asokoro, Abuja (N920 million); Block D Manzini Street, Wuse Zone 4, Abuja (N170 million);
