Ukraine Kicks As Russia Leads UN Security Council

The Ukraine authorities have kicked against Russian Presidency in the United Nations Security Council.

The presidency of the UN Security Council is rotational amongst the 15 members with each member becoming President after presiding for a month each.

However, the US said that Russia is a permanent member of the Council, as such, it could not block Russia from assuming the presidency.

The other permanent members of the council are the UK, France, and China and others.

Ukraine therefore  urged members to oppose Russia’s bid because Russia invaded Ukraine the last time it presided over the Council.

According to the BBC, the development highlights the fact that the Security Council is being led by a country whose president is wanted for alleged war crimes.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba has described Russia’s presidency as a strong reminder that something is wrong with the way international security architecture is functioning.

President Volodymyr Zelensky called for the Security Council to reform, accusing it of not preventing Russia’s invasion.

The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin.

Portable arrested, to spend the weekend in Police cell

Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, a controversial singer, was arrested and will face charges after the police’s 72-hour ultimatum to him expired.

Remember how the ‘Zazoo Zehh’ crooner was called to go to the police after assault claims were made, the singer will now be held by police through Monday.

The musician was detained on Friday, according to the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who also said that he was taken to the State Police Headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta.

The rapper was reportedly captured on camera in two videos roughhousing and verbally abusing some police officers at his pub in Sango Ota, Ogun State, according to a previous report on Tuesday.

Nonetheless, he asserted that an accused Internet fraudster had “for no reason” dispatched police to his bar to make arrests of him and his employees.

Oyeyemi claims that Portable was invited as a result of a petition from a teenage studio owner who claimed that Portable and his associates assaulted him until he was unconscious and closed his studio.

He continued by saying that the singer ignored all of the summonses that were delivered to him.
