FIFA U20 World Cup: Flying Eagles Fall 1–0 to Norway Despite Dominance

Nigeria’s Flying Eagles suffered a narrow 1–0 defeat to Norway in their opening Group match at the 24th FIFA U20 World Cup on Monday, despite creating several late chances to equalise. The Scandinavians struck early in the 9th minute from a controversial penalty, leaving Nigeria chasing the game. Ladan Bosso’s men responded strongly, but appeals for two penalties in the second half were waved away by the referee. The Flying Eagles came agonisingly close to scoring on multiple occasions: Kparobo Arierhi fired wide in the 47th minute with the goalkeeper beaten. Tahir Maigana rattled the upright in the 63rd minute before unleashing a long-range strike that flashed narrowly wide late on. Nasiru Salihu also tested the Norwegian defence with a powerful 71st-minute effort that sailed just over the bar. Despite sustained pressure and dominance in the closing stages, Nigeria could […]

Court Restrains PENGASSAN From Cutting Gas Supply to Dangote Refinery Amid Nationwide Strike Threat

The National Industrial Court, Abuja, has restrained the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) from cutting crude and gas supply to the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE. The interim order, delivered by Justice Emmanuel Subilim, followed an ex-parte application filed by the refinery’s lawyers, led by Ogwu Onoja (SAN). The court barred PENGASSAN, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), and the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) from halting supply or embarking on any action that could cripple refinery operations. Justice Subilim ruled that the balance of convenience was in favor of Dangote Refinery, warning that the planned strike would “irreparably damage” its operations and disrupt essential services to the Nigerian public. The matter was adjourned to October 13, with the interim order valid for […]

Boko Haram Attack in Borno: Two Dead, Palace Burnt

Armed Boko Haram fighters on Monday night invaded Kirawa, a border community in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State, killing one civilian and abducting another. The insurgents also set fire to several houses, shops, and the palace of the District Head, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abubakar. Residents fled into neighbouring Cameroonian communities for safety. Local vigilantes, including members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) and hunters, helped repel the assault, reportedly killing one of the attackers. Kirawa has been a frequent target of Boko Haram. Just three days earlier, insurgents ambushed travellers along the Kirawa-Pulka road, killing a CJTF member and burning six vehicles. Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Southern Borno, confirmed Tuesday’s incident and expressed deep concern over the renewed violence.“The attacks are frustrating, especially for many resilient IDPs who only recently returned to their ancestral homes with the […]

Ndume Urges Tinubu to Act Like a Dictator to End PENGASSAN–Dangote Refinery Dispute

Senator Ali Ndume has urged President Bola Tinubu to take decisive action — even if it means acting like a dictator — to resolve the escalating standoff between the Dangote Refinery and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN). Ndume, who represents Borno South, made the call on Monday during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time. “The best thing is for the president to sign an executive order calling them off. He has the right to dissolve them. In this case, I don’t mind if he acts like a dictator because some situations require very drastic measures,” he said. The crisis began after PENGASSAN accused the Dangote Refinery of unlawfully sacking 800 workers for joining the union. On Saturday, the association directed its members nationwide to down tools, calling the move a violation of Nigeria’s […]

Venezuela’s Maduro Threatens State of Emergency Over US ‘Aggression’

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro warned on Monday that he is prepared to declare a state of emergency in response to what he called escalating US military aggression. His comments follow a string of deadly American strikes on suspected Venezuelan drug boats in the Caribbean. “Today the consultation process began…to declare a state of emergency in accordance with the constitution and protect our people, our peace, and our stability if Venezuela were attacked by the American empire, attacked militarily,” Maduro said in a televised address. Earlier, Vice President Delcy Rodriguez told foreign diplomats that Maduro had already signed a decree granting him special powers in defense and security should the US move against Venezuela. But a government source later clarified that the president had not yet formally signed the document, though it was ready for enactment at any time. The tensions […]
