Nigeria No Longer in ‘Jeopardy Zone’ on Security— Presidential Aide

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Communication, Sunday Dare, says Nigeria has made significant progress in tackling insecurity and can no longer be described as being in the “jeopardy zone.” Speaking on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme, on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, Dare argued that while security challenges persist, the situation has improved compared to the height of the Boko Haram insurgency. “We have seen progress on security; I believe we have left the jeopardy zone,” he said, recalling that during the peak of insurgency in the Sambisa Forest years ago, the entire nation was under a cloud of fear. He urged Nigerians to view the issue in perspective:“If you look back five or six years—even to the Jonathan era—you’ll see the difference. Our institutions are stronger today, and the government is responding more swiftly to flashpoints.” […]

JAMB Sets Up Special Committee to Probe High-Tech Exam Fraud

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has inaugurated a 23-member special committee to investigate sophisticated cases of examination malpractice recorded during the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Speaking at the inauguration in Abuja on Monday, JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, expressed concern over the rise of technology-driven cheating schemes.

Two Killed, Three Injured in Ebonyi Mining Pit Collapse

A mining accident at Ajirija lead site in Ihietutu, Ishiagu, Ivo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, has claimed the lives of two miners and left three others critically injured. The incident, which occurred over the weekend, involved a pit reportedly managed by Mrs. Lovelyn Victor, an indigene of the community. The site itself is owned by Henry Ahanaotu, who allegedly leased portions of it to unlicensed small-scale miners operating without professional oversight. A community source, who preferred anonymity, described the tragedy as part of a recurring pattern of unsafe mining practices in the area. He recalled a similar collapse earlier this year that killed two people and injured several others, lamenting the lack of accountability for operators and site owners. In his reaction, Ahanaotu expressed sympathy over the deaths but defended his decision to sublet the lease, saying it […]

Nigeria’s Paternity Crisis: 1 in 4 DNA Tests Negative

A new report by Smart DNA Nigeria has revealed that one in every four paternity tests conducted in the country still returns a negative result, highlighting a persistent paternity crisis and raising deeper questions about trust and family dynamics in Nigeria. In its 2025 Annual DNA Testing Report, released this week, the Lagos-based genetic testing company disclosed that 25 per cent of paternity tests conducted between July 2024 and June 2025 showed that presumed fathers were not biologically related to the children in question. Although this figure is slightly lower than the 27 per cent recorded in 2024, the firm described it as a “worrying and consistent trend” that underscores the sensitive realities facing many households. “These findings are not just about science; they tell us something profound about trust, relationships, and the legal and economic realities of Nigerian families […]
