NCC re‑arrests, arraigns suspected book pirates in Owerri

The Nigerian Copyright Commission has re arrested and arraigned three suspected book pirates in Owerri, Imo State, as part of its ongoing campaign against copyright theft.​ The suspects, identified as Onyedikachi Anele, Ifeanyi Igbokwe and Chukwudi Nwogu, were first apprehended in 2024 over alleged large scale piracy of educational books but later jumped administrative bail. They were traced and re arrested following fresh intelligence on their activities in the state capital.​ According to the Commission, the three men were accused of dealing in and distributing large quantities of pirated textbooks without the consent of the copyright owners. The materials reportedly included popular titles used in primary and secondary schools, as well as tertiary institutions.​ The defendants were arraigned before the Federal High Court in Owerri, presided over by Justice Wigwe Oreh Chituru Joy, on multiple counts bordering on conspiracy and […]

Tinubu condemns Borno abductions, urges Nigerians to resist fear

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has condemned the recent terrorist attack and mass abductions in Ngoshe community, Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State, and urged Nigerians not to give in to fear. He directed the Armed Forces and other security agencies to urgently rescue all those abducted during the assault, which was carried out by suspected Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists.

Alleged N8.7b fraud: Court grants Malami, wife, son N200m bail each

A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to former Attorney General of the Federation Abubakar Malami, his wife Asabe Bashir and his son Abdulaziz in the alleged N8.7 billion fraud case filed against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. The trio are accused of laundering about N8.7 billion through the purchase of properties in Abuja and other parts of Nigeria while Malami served as Minister of Justice. They have all pleaded not guilty to the amended charges. In an earlier ruling on their bail application, Justice Emeka Nwite admitted each of the defendants to bail in the sum of N500 million with two sureties in the same amount, who must own verifiable properties in highbrow areas of Abuja such as Maitama or Gwarinpa.​ The judge also ordered them to deposit their international passports with the court, […]

Dangote Refinery absorbs 20% of crude cost surge to stabilise fuel prices

Dangote Petroleum Refinery says it is currently absorbing about 20 percent of the recent crude oil cost escalation in order to reduce the impact of rising global prices on Nigerian fuel consumers. The company explained that the conflict in the Middle East and disruptions to global refining capacity have driven Brent crude prices up by roughly 26 percent, while Nigerian crude now trades at a premium of 3 to 6 dollars above the benchmark, with freight adding about 3.50 dollars per barrel. In response, the refinery implemented a 100 naira per litre increase in its ex depot price of petrol, representing about a 12 percent adjustment, but stressed that this is lower than the full rise in crude and logistics costs because it has chosen to absorb part of the escalation. Dangote Refinery said it receives around five cargoes of […]

OPL 245 deal to boost Nigeria’s oil output by 150,000 barrels daily

The Federal Government says resolving the long running dispute over Oil Prospecting Licence 245 will unlock new deepwater investment and raise Nigeria’s oil production by about 150,000 barrels per day when fully developed. The agreement, overseen by President Bola Tinubu and signed in Abuja, brings to an end more than 15 years of legal and commercial battles involving ENI, Nigerian Agip Exploration and other parties over ownership and terms of the block. Under the new structure, the controversial OPL 245 oilfield has been split into four separate assets to be operated by ENI and Shell, clearing a major obstacle that had stalled one of Nigeria’s largest untapped deepwater reserves. Officials say the settlement restores clarity and stability to the block, removes a prominent legacy risk in the upstream sector and sends a signal to investors that Nigeria is serious about […]

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has urged governors’ wives to use the Renewed Hope Initiative to deliver more practical projects that directly touch people at the grassroots.

Nigeria is poor because we celebrate thieves – Obi

Former Anambra State governor Peter Obi says Nigeria remains poor because the country celebrates corrupt people instead of holding them accountable. He argued that Nigeria is not truly a poor nation but has been made poor by years of bad leadership and a culture that rewards those who steal public funds.​​ Obi said that in many cases, people who have looted public resources are honoured with chieftaincy titles, front row seats at public events and loud celebrations, instead of being questioned about the source of their wealth.​ He compared Nigeria with other countries where citizens resist bad governance, stressing that Nigerians often sing, dance and praise leaders who have failed them, even when millions are living in hardship.​​ According to him, the main problem is that “thieves” are allowed to manage national resources, and this has led to widespread poverty, […]
