This morning's top stories include the release of 20 kidnapped prospective corps members in Imo State, who have been offered the chance to select any South-West state for their national service. Families paid N6m in ransom for each graduate, with a total of N6m per person. Meanwhile, in politics, the Court of Appeal has rejected former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai's bail application in his ongoing legal battle over alleged financial offenses.
The Court of Appeal unanimously ruled that El-Rufai did not provide sufficient new facts or circumstances to warrant a change in the lower court's denial of his bail. Lastly, Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen made a remarkable comeback from injury, coming off the bench to inspire Galatasaray's comeback victory against Kasımpaşa in the Turkish Süper Lig.
