TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARThe BBC:
Nigeria has dropped charges against former US Vice-President Dick Cheney over a 1990s bribery scandal, anti-corruption officials say.
The case focused on bribes paid by engineering firm KBR while it was a subsidiary of Halliburton, a firm headed by Mr Cheney at the time.
Nigerian officials said Halliburton agreed an out-of-court deal worth $250m (£160m). The firm has not commented.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide.
