Senate rejects fresh bid to amend 2026 Electoral Act

The Senate has rejected fresh calls to amend the 2026 Electoral Act, asking opposition leaders to channel their grievances through proper legislative procedures. Opposition figures, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi, had demanded an immediate review of the new law, describing it as anti democratic and skewed in favour of the ruling party ahead of the 2027 elections. They argued that certain sections of the Act undermine electoral transparency and called for the removal of what they termed obnoxious provisions that could weaken the credibility of future polls. Responding, the Senate leadership dismissed the pressure for a hurried amendment and advised the opposition to submit specific proposals and work through the National Assembly’s established processes. Senate leaders maintained that the 2026 Electoral Act had followed due process, including passage by both chambers and assent by President Bola Tinubu, […]

FG warns Nigerians in Iran, Gulf over rising tensions

The Federal Government has issued a security advisory to Nigerians living in Iran and nearby Gulf countries, urging them to be extremely cautious due to rising tensions in the Middle East. The advisory followed heightened military activities and diplomatic strain in the region, which have raised concerns about possible escalation and attacks. Nigerians in Iran and affected Gulf states were advised to remain very vigilant, avoid crowded or sensitive areas, and closely monitor local news and official security updates.

FG launches food relief, unveils new poverty exit plan

The Federal Government has launched an emergency food and nutrition relief programme in Niger State and unveiled a new long term strategy to lift vulnerable households out of poverty. The intervention is part of the Presidential Initiative for Food and Nutrition Assistance and is being implemented through the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.

Coalition condemns Sowore, backs Umahi on debt dispute

A coalition of civil society organisations has criticised activist Omoyele Sowore over his recent public confrontation with Minister of Works David Umahi, describing it as mere theatrics. The group defended Umahi over allegations by Tracy Ohiri, who claims the minister owes her money for campaign materials and used the police to intimidate her. Members of the coalition said Sowore’s viral engagement with Umahi on the issue was a calculated attempt to dramatise an ongoing legal matter and mislead the public.​​ They argued that Sowore’s style of activism focuses on spectacle rather than facts and due process and urged Nigerians to be cautious about drawing conclusions from social media clips.​​ The coalition maintained that the police acted on a formal petition and within their constitutional powers, not on the instructions of Umahi for any personal vendetta. They also claimed that Ohiri’s […]

Minna residents suffer as water crisis deepens

Residents of Minna, the Niger State capital, are facing a worsening water crisis despite the allocation of billions of naira to improve water supply over the years. Many homes have little or no access to pipe-borne water and now depend on vendors, boreholes, and distant water sources for their daily needs. Women and children trek long distances and queue for hours at boreholes and public taps, often starting before dawn to secure enough water for the day. The scarcity has disrupted schooling, as some children, especially girls, miss classes or arrive late because they spend mornings fetching water or waiting for vendors.​ Health risks are rising as desperate residents sometimes resort to unsafe water from streams, ponds, or other untreated sources, raising fears of outbreaks of waterborne diseases. Households also struggle financially as the cost of water from vendors has […]

Six killed as Lakurawa terrorists attack mosque in Kebbi

Suspected Lakurawa terrorists have attacked a mosque in Dadinkowa community, Maiyama Local Government Area of Kebbi State, killing six worshippers and injuring three others in what police describe as a reprisal assault.​ Local sources said the gunmen stormed the mosque on Wednesday evening while Muslims were observing prayers and opened fire indiscriminately on those inside.​ Kebbi State Police Public Relations Officer, Bashir Usman, said the attack followed a failed ambush on troops of the Nigerian Army’s 8 Division, whose convoy, led by General Officer Commanding Major General Bemgha Koughna, came under heavy fire near Maiyama Hill on February 24.​ He explained that soldiers repelled the ambush with superior firepower, killing five suspected terrorists and foiling the attempt, after which the attackers allegedly targeted the mosque in revenge.​ Usman initially confirmed that five worshippers died from gunshot wounds and three others […]

Five killed as tanker crushes schoolchildren’s tricycle in Bayelsa

Five people, including four schoolchildren and a tricycle driver, have been killed after a fuel tanker crushed a Keke Napep in Ibelebiri community, Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.​ The crash happened on Wednesday afternoon along the Ibelebiri section of the Yenegwe–Okarki–Otuasega road, throwing the mainly farming and fishing community into mourning.​ Eyewitnesses said the victims were returning from school when the tanker, suspected to have suffered brake failure, veered off the road and rammed into the parked tricycle. The children were pupils of a school in nearby Otuasega, and the Keke driver, a family member, usually took them home.​ One of the pupils had already crossed the road into their compound when the tanker, bearing an NNPC logo, hit the tricycle and crushed those still inside before they could escape.​ The tanker driver reportedly fled the scene, while […]

US lawmaker: Christians suffer most from Nigeria’s violence, urges Trump to act

United States lawmaker Riley Moore says Christians have borne the overwhelming brunt of violent attacks in Nigeria for over 20 years and urged President Donald Trump to take decisive action.​ Moore said insecurity affects people of all faiths but insisted that Christians are disproportionately targeted. He claimed Christians are about five times more likely to be killed than any other religious group and accused Fulani militias and terrorist organisations of repeatedly attacking Christian communities, pastors and priests, and burning schools and churches, often on holy days.​ He praised Trump’s readiness to defend Christians globally and described the current moment as a once in a generation opportunity to deepen US–Nigeria relations while confronting the crisis. He acknowledged that Nigeria needs support to tackle insecurity but said President Bola Tinubu’s government must show stronger political will.​ Moore argued that any future bilateral […]

Minister pushes for launch of Nigeria–Israel joint commission

Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu, has called for the full take off of the Nigeria–Israel Joint Commission to deepen cooperation between both countries. She made the appeal while hosting the Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, at Tafawa Balewa House in Abuja.​ According to a statement by her media aide, Dr Magnus Eze, their talks covered defence and intelligence, economic ties, consular matters, religious tourism and wider bilateral and multilateral issues. Odumegwu Ojukwu said Nigeria has much to learn from Israel’s experience in border security management, especially in the fight against insurgency and terrorism. She noted that such collaboration would be easier to drive once the joint commission is operational.​ The minister also commended Israel for its plan to donate about 50 to 60 fully equipped ambulances to Nigeria, starting with an initial batch of […]
