Information reaching us at AladdynKingMedia.com indicates that former president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has died.

According to reports, he died on Sunday (13th July, 2025) afternoon in London at 4:30 pm following a prolonged illness.

His former aide, Bashir Ahmad, announced the passing of the former president on X.

He wrote: “The family of the former president has announced the passing on of the former president, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, this afternoon in a clinic in London.

May Allah accept him in Aljannatul Firdaus. Amin.”

In a major development, Balthazar Egonga has been sentenced to 18 years in prison following his conviction for embezzling over 1 billion Francs in government funds. The sentencing took place earlier today, marking the conclusion of a case that has drawn significant public interest and concern.

Reports indicate that Egonga personally pocketed 910 million Francs out of the total amount embezzled. The stolen funds, which were meant for government use, were allegedly diverted for personal indulgence, with most of the money reportedly spent on women and lavish pleasures.

The case has cast a spotlight on the abuse of public office and the consequences of financial misconduct involving such a large sum. Egonga’s conviction and the severity of his sentence underline the seriousness of the offense and the impact of the loss on public resources.

This verdict serves as a dramatic fall from grace for Egonga, whose actions have now been formally condemned by the justice system.

India has rejected allegations by Pakistan that militants backed by Delhi were behind a deadly car bomb attack that killed at least 13 soldiers on Saturday.

Pakistani officials said a suicide bomber drove a vehicle packed with explosives into a military convoy in the north-western tribal region of Pakistan’s North Waziristan, near the border with Afghanistan.

Dismissing Pakistan’s accusation, spokesman for India’s ministry of external affairs, Randhir Jaiswal, posted on X: “We reject this statement with the contempt it deserves”.

The attack has been claimed by a suicide bomber wing of the Hafiz Gul Bahadur armed group, a faction of the Pakistan Taliban.

Pakistan’s army, however, said the attack was carried out by militants backed by India, without providing evidence.

“In this tragic and barbaric incident, three innocent civilians including two children and a woman also got severely injured,” the Pakistani army said in a statement.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the “cowardly act”.

Relations between the two nations have long been strained, but tensions deepened in April after a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir left 26 people dead.

India blamed Pakistan for sheltering members of a militant group it said were behind the attack, and the incident brought the two nuclear-armed countries to the brink of another war.

In May, India launched a series of airstrikes, targeting sites it called “terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir”.

Pakistan denied the claim that these were terror camps and also responded by firing missiles and deploying drones into Indian territory.

The hostilities continued until 10 May when US President Donald Trump announced that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate ceasefire”.

Pakistan has witnessed a surge in terrorist incidents following the collapse of the ceasefire agreement between the government and the Pakistani Taliban in November 2022.
