There Is No Invasion of Bandits, Fulani Herdsmen in Ebonyi – Community Police

Streaming Shift, Career Attacks Affected My Fanbase – Lizzo

She stated that the industry's move toward streaming has affected artists who relied on traditional radio exposure, explaining: "The industry changed so much in the last 3 yrs. Streaming replaced radio & I was a radio darling. That's how my fans discovered my music." "Not to mention the very obvious & public attack on my career changed things. But I'm out here doing my absolute best," she wrote when addressing the fan.

FG Clears Over 1,240 Contractors Under N100m Claims

The federal government has cleared over 1,240 contractors with verified claims under N100 million, marking a major step in addressing the government's payment backlog to indigenous construction firms.

States Rush to Deploy Forest Guards as Insecurity Deepens

Multiple Nigerian states are rushing to deploy forest guards as insecurity deepens across the country, marking a significant expansion of the federal government's Presidential Forest Guards Initiative. The programme was launched by President Bola Tinubu in May 2025 as part of renewed efforts to tackle nationwide insecurity, and has already yielded fruits with over 7,000 newly recruited Nigerian Forest Guards graduating following successful completion of an intensive three-month training programme. Kwara State has deployed nearly 1,000 newly trained forest guards to its hinterlands, declaring war on terrorists and kidnappers exploiting the state's wooded terrain. Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq delivered a blunt message to criminal elements at a passing-out parade in Ilorin: their days of using Kwara's forests as a sanctuary are over, with plans to station at least 200 guards in each of the state's 17 local government areas. The Office […]

Troops Rescue 360 Women, Children Abducted by Boko Haram in Gwoza

Nigerian security personnel have rescued 360 hostages, including many women and children, from a mountainous refuge in Borno State, where they had been held by Boko Haram's Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad (JAS) faction. The operation, led by the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI, targeted the Mandara Mountains in the southern part of the state.

NANS Slams LAUTECH Over Student Suspensions, Plans Monday Protest

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has condemned the management of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, over the suspension of a number of students following alleged unrest on campus. The student union has accused the university of resorting to harsh punitive measures instead of addressing the root causes of the crisis. NANS Southwest (Zone D) Coordinator Owolewa Taiwo, who spoke during a press briefing, said the union has exhausted the first two “C’s” of Aluta — consultation and confrontation — in its attempts to resolve the dispute with the university. He therefore announced that NANS is now moving to the final “C”: Confrontation, as it prepares to escalate the issue. The association has unveiled a plan to hold a protest on Monday, which will disrupt academic activities at LAUTECH until the suspensions are reviewed. The demonstration is […]

2027: Obi–Kwankwaso Bid Faces Northern Resistance

Moves to float a joint 2027 presidential ticket featuring Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso are already running into stiff resistance from key northern stakeholders. While support groups have been promoting an Obi–Kwankwaso alliance under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) or a new platform, many northern leaders say they remain unconvinced about the project and its chances. Northern elders and youth groups argue that Obi still suffers a trust deficit in parts of the region, with some politicians repeatedly linking him to alleged sympathy for the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) – a charge his camp has consistently denied. They also insist that his 2023 performance in core northern states shows he has a lot of ground to cover despite strong youth enthusiasm and social media visibility. There are also complaints that the proposed platform for the alliance is […]
