The child’s remains were brought to the station and later identified as the missing baby, Prevail Jonathan.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu says Nigeria is set for a major economic shift as he prepares to sign four significant tax bills into law. In a post shared on his official X account Thursday, Tinubu explained that the new tax reforms are designed to do more than just tidy up tax laws, they are aimed at providing real relief to ordinary Nigerians.

“In the next few hours, I will be signing four major tax reform bills into law, marking a bold new chapter for our economy,” he stated. He noted that the reforms would introduce the first major tax cuts in years, with benefits focused on low-income earners, small business owners, and families struggling to keep up with daily living costs.

The tax bills include the Nigeria Tax Bill, the Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, and the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill. Tinubu explained that these new laws will help bring together Nigeria’s scattered tax system, reduce waste, cut unnecessary processes, boost investor confidence, and ensure better transparency and coordination across all levels of government.

Tensions in the Middle East have taken another dangerous turn as Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a strong warning to the United States, making it clear that Iran is ready to strike again if provoked. His statement comes days after Iran launched missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar, which he described as a clear message and a victory for Iran in what he called an ongoing battle for respect and sovereignty.

Khamenei, in his first speech since the latest round of attacks, dismissed reports claiming that Iran’s nuclear program had been crippled by U.S. airstrikes. He insisted that Iran’s capabilities remain intact and that the American attacks failed to achieve their goals. According to him, the missile strike on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, a key U.S. military hub, wasn’t a retaliation but a calculated warning meant to show Washington that Iran will defend itself when pushed.

“If they attack again, they will face consequences far beyond what they’ve seen,” Khamenei stated firmly, making it clear that Iran’s military is prepared to escalate the situation if necessary.

Meanwhile, Iran’s parliament is wasting no time. Lawmakers have already moved to reduce the country’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This comes after growing frustration in Tehran that international bodies, especially the UN nuclear watchdog, have failed to condemn the U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.
