Terrorists kill 34 fasting Muslims in Kebbi attack

At least 34 Muslims fasting for Ramadan have been killed in coordinated attacks on several villages in Kebbi State, northwestern Nigeria. The gunmen, described as terrorists by local officials, raided the communities on Tuesday evening. The attackers stormed the villages while many residents were observing Ramadan prayers and breaking their fast. Survivors said the gunmen arrived on motorbikes, shooting people and burning homes. Several others were injured, and many families fled into nearby bushes for safety. Local authorities linked the assault to suspected Islamist militants active around the Kebbi border area. The group is believed to have carried out similar raids in neighbouring states in recent months. Security forces have been deployed to the affected communities to prevent further attacks and to help residents. Officials said operations are ongoing to track down the attackers and secure the area. The killings […]

Rivers Assembly stops impeachment move against Fubara, deputy

The Rivers State House of Assembly has stopped the impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu. The lawmakers took the decision during their resumed plenary on Thursday in Port Harcourt, the state capital. The move follows the intervention of President Bola Tinubu, who stepped in to calm rising political tension in the state. The Assembly had earlier begun impeachment moves against the governor and his deputy over alleged gross misconduct. The allegations included demolition of the Assembly complex and spending state funds without legislative approval, among other claims. The decision to halt the process is seen as a temporary relief in the political crisis that has gripped Rivers State in recent weeks. Observers say the suspension creates room for dialogue and possible reconciliation between the executive and the legislature. Details of any agreement that led to […]

Three feared dead as thugs disrupt ward congress in Ondo

At least three people are feared dead after suspected political thugs attacked the ward congress of the All Progressives Congress in Idanre, Ondo State, throwing the exercise into chaos. The violence reportedly broke out on Wednesday at Odode-Idanre, the headquarters of Idanre Local Government Area, as party members gathered to elect ward officers. Eyewitnesses said gunmen and machete wielding thugs invaded the venue, shooting sporadically and attacking participants, leaving several people injured and vehicles vandalised or set ablaze. One of the victims was identified as Raphael Adetimehin, younger brother of the state APC chairman, Ade Adetimehin, who was allegedly shot and macheted after being mistaken for the party boss. The attack followed an earlier incident at the APC state secretariat in Akure, where hoodlums disrupted a stakeholders’ meeting and injured some party leaders ahead of the congress.

EFCC holds on to El-Rufai over alleged ₦432bn fraud probe

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is keeping former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai in custody as detectives intensify investigations into alleged mismanagement of about ₦423–₦432 billion during his eight-year tenure. El-Rufai, who honoured an invitation at the EFCC headquarters in Jabi, Abuja, arrived on Monday morning and has now spent at least two nights in detention while answering questions on loans, contracts and financial transactions executed between 2015 and 2023. Sources at the commission said investigators are scrutinising reports of a Kaduna State House of Assembly ad hoc committee, which accused the former governor and some of his aides of abuse of office, contract inflation, money laundering and diversion of public funds. The panel had alleged that huge loans obtained in the name of the state were either misapplied or not properly accounted for and recommended that El-Rufai, commissioners […]

Tinubu urges Christians, Muslims to deepen unity as Lent, Ramadan start same day

President Bola Tinubu has called on Christians and Muslims to use the rare coincidence of Lent and Ramadan starting on the same day this year as a fresh opportunity to deepen unity, peace and mutual respect in Nigeria. He described the simultaneous commencement of the two holy seasons as an uncommon event that underlines the shared values of sacrifice, devotion and compassion at the heart of both faiths. In a personally signed message, the President urged the faithful to promote good neighbourliness, national stability and prayers for Nigeria’s progress and security throughout the fasting periods. He reminded Nigerians that, despite religious differences, “we share a lot in common and are one people under God.” Tinubu encouraged Christians observing Lent to reflect on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ through repentance, charity and acts of kindness.

EFCC trial of Malami, El Rufai won’t intimidate opposition, says ADC

The African Democratic Congress has said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s prosecution of former Attorney General Abubakar Malami and ex Kaduna governor Nasir El Rufai will not intimidate opposition politicians or weaken the party’s resolve. ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi described the cases as “selective prosecutions” that appear politically motivated. He argued that while the party supports the fight against corruption, recent EFCC actions give the impression that the agency is being used as “a gladiator in the political arena rather than an impartial warrior against financial malpractice.” Abdullahi warned that targeting prominent opposition figures risks undermining public confidence in anti graft institutions. The ADC also condemned the alleged attempt to arrest El Rufai at the Abuja airport and the tear gassing of his supporters during a protest at the EFCC headquarters. The party said such incidents look […]

Dangote predicts naira could strengthen to ₦1,100/$1 in 2026

Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, says the naira could appreciate to around ₦1,100 to the US dollar before the end of 2026 if current government policies and import controls are sustained. He spoke in Abuja during the launch of the Nigeria Industrial Policy, attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima and top private sector leaders. Dangote noted that although the naira is currently trading around ₦1,300–₦1,340 on the official market, recent reforms are already easing pressure on the currency. He argued that blocking “reckless” imports that can be produced locally, alongside tighter foreign exchange management, will help further strengthen the naira. “I can assure you that, with what I know, by blocking all this importation, the currency this year will be as low as ₦1,100 if we are lucky,” he said, while suggesting government might even need to slow the naira’s […]

CJN urges ECOWAS Court to adopt uniform enforcement rules for its judgments

Chief Justice of Nigeria Justice Kudirat Kekere Ekun has called on the ECOWAS Court of Justice to work with member states to develop a uniform procedure for enforcing its judgments across the region. She said inconsistent enforcement practices in different countries undermine the authority of the regional court and weaken citizens’ confidence in regional justice. The CJN spoke in Abuja during a bilateral meeting on the status of ECOWAS Court judgments, attended by the court’s president, Justice Edward Amoako Asante, and other officials. She acknowledged the court’s “landmark” human rights decisions but noted that their impact is limited if executive branches in member states fail to carry them out. Justice Kekere Ekun advised the court to use the forum to design clear, harmonised enforcement guidelines that national authorities can adopt and apply. She stressed that while enforcement ultimately lies with […]
