Osimhen: Napoli treated me like a dog, I had to leave

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has claimed he was treated “like a dog” by Napoli in the final months before his move to Turkish giants Galatasaray. He said the Italian club broke a gentleman’s agreement that would have allowed him to leave after signing a contract extension in 2023. Osimhen explained that when he renewed his deal in December 2023, there was a clear understanding that he would be free to depart the following summer if a good offer arrived. Instead, he alleged, Napoli tried to send him “everywhere” without respecting his wishes or the prior commitment. “They tried to send me to play everywhere, treating me like a dog. Go here, go there, do this, do that,” he said in an interview with Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport. “I worked so hard to build my career; I couldn’t accept […]

Oil prices climb as Trump steps up threats against Iran

Global oil prices have risen again after US President Donald Trump intensified threats against Iran, fuelling fears of supply disruptions from the major crude producer. The latest gains come as US and Iranian officials hold sensitive talks on Tehran’s nuclear programme in Geneva. On Tuesday, US benchmark West Texas Intermediate climbed by around 1.5 per cent, while Brent North Sea crude also ticked higher in early trading. Late last month, Brent had already pushed above 70 dollars per barrel for the first time since July, with WTI moving past 65 dollars, as tensions escalated. The rally has been driven by a series of public warnings from Trump, who has repeatedly told Iran to accept a new nuclear deal or face military strikes. He boasted that a “massive armada” led by the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group was heading towards […]

CJN urges ECOWAS Court to adopt uniform enforcement rules for its judgments

Chief Justice of Nigeria Justice Kudirat Kekere Ekun has called on the ECOWAS Court of Justice to work with member states to develop a uniform procedure for enforcing its judgments across the region. She said inconsistent enforcement practices in different countries undermine the authority of the regional court and weaken citizens’ confidence in regional justice. The CJN spoke in Abuja during a bilateral meeting on the status of ECOWAS Court judgments, attended by the court’s president, Justice Edward Amoako Asante, and other officials. She acknowledged the court’s “landmark” human rights decisions but noted that their impact is limited if executive branches in member states fail to carry them out. Justice Kekere Ekun advised the court to use the forum to design clear, harmonised enforcement guidelines that national authorities can adopt and apply. She stressed that while enforcement ultimately lies with […]

El Rufai risks two year jail term on new cybercrime charges

Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El Rufai faces up to two years in prison if convicted on fresh cybercrime charges filed against him over the alleged interception of National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu’s phone calls. The Department of State Services accuses him of admitting on live television that he listened to recordings of Ribadu’s private conversations obtained through illegal phone tapping.

Labour warns of looming job losses over NAFDAC sachet alcohol ban

Food and beverage sector unions have warned the Federal Government that NAFDAC’s enforcement of the ban on sachet alcohol and small PET bottles could trigger massive job losses and factory shutdowns. They say the continued sealing of production lines and depots is already disrupting operations in breweries and distilleries across the country. Leaders of the Food, Beverage and Tobacco Senior Staff Association and the National Union of Food, Beverage and Tobacco Employees protested again at NAFDAC’s Lagos office, demanding that the agency obey the recent directive suspending the crackdown. They argue that with the national alcohol policy already signed, NAFDAC should have lifted restrictions instead of moving to close more factories. Union officials estimate that the policy could threaten hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect jobs in manufacturing, logistics and retail. They also warn that wiping out regulated sachet […]

Zam: Natasha is not a North Central commission committee member

Chairman of the Senate Committee on the North Central Development Commission, Titus Zam, says Kogi Central lawmaker Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan is not a member of his committee, contrary to her claims. He said she was therefore not invited to the commission’s recent budget defence session and had no reason to expect her name on the attendance register. The clarification follows a confrontation at the National Assembly after Senator Akpoti Uduaghan arrived for the NCDC budget defence and reportedly complained that her name was missing from the committee’s attendance list. She later went to Zam’s office to seek an explanation, leading to a heated exchange and a scuffle involving aides from both sides.​ In his statement, Zam insisted that committee membership is decided by the Senate Committee on Selection, not by regional entitlement. He noted that two other senators from […]

Reps in rowdy session over move to reopen Electoral Act amendment

The House of Representatives has descended into a rowdy session over a move to rescind its earlier decision on the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill 2025 and reopen it for fresh consideration.

The motion was moved by the Chairman of the Rules and Business Committee, Francis Waive, who argued that some provisions had created inconsistencies and unintended consequences that could affect the 2027 polls. When the Speaker put the motion to voice vote, the loudest response appeared […]
