Coalition condemns Sowore, backs Umahi on debt dispute

A coalition of civil society organisations has criticised activist Omoyele Sowore over his recent public confrontation with Minister of Works David Umahi, describing it as mere theatrics. The group defended Umahi over allegations by Tracy Ohiri, who claims the minister owes her money for campaign materials and used the police to intimidate her. Members of the coalition said Sowore’s viral engagement with Umahi on the issue was a calculated attempt to dramatise an ongoing legal matter and mislead the public.​​ They argued that Sowore’s style of activism focuses on spectacle rather than facts and due process and urged Nigerians to be cautious about drawing conclusions from social media clips.​​ The coalition maintained that the police acted on a formal petition and within their constitutional powers, not on the instructions of Umahi for any personal vendetta. They also claimed that Ohiri’s […]

Minna residents suffer as water crisis deepens

Residents of Minna, the Niger State capital, are facing a worsening water crisis despite the allocation of billions of naira to improve water supply over the years. Many homes have little or no access to pipe-borne water and now depend on vendors, boreholes, and distant water sources for their daily needs. Women and children trek long distances and queue for hours at boreholes and public taps, often starting before dawn to secure enough water for the day. The scarcity has disrupted schooling, as some children, especially girls, miss classes or arrive late because they spend mornings fetching water or waiting for vendors.​ Health risks are rising as desperate residents sometimes resort to unsafe water from streams, ponds, or other untreated sources, raising fears of outbreaks of waterborne diseases. Households also struggle financially as the cost of water from vendors has […]
