Shadows on the Streets: The Rising Cost of Thuggery in Nigeria

The Rising Menace of Thuggery on Nigerian Streets It starts as a low rumble on a hot afternoon in a bustling market or just outside a local political rally. Before you can fully register the noise, the atmosphere shifts. Shop owners frantically pull down their metal shutters. Street vendors abandon their trays, and pedestrians scatter into nearby alleyways. Within minutes, the street is dominated by a group of young men armed with machetes, wooden clubs, and broken bottles. This is the reality of political and street thuggery in Nigeria—a localized menace that has slowly ballooned into a critical national security crisis. Far from being just "local disturbances," the activities of these hired actors and neighborhood gangs are actively threatening the fabric of Nigerian democracy, the growth of the economy, and the everyday safety of millions of citizens.

Appeal court bars INEC from recognising Mark-led ADC congresses

The appeal court has barred the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, from recognising congresses organised by the David Mark-led leadership of the African Democratic Congress, ADC. The court said INEC should not take part in or give recognition to any state congresses arranged by committees set up by the party’s caretaker leadership. It held that the responsibility for conducting state congresses belongs to the elected state executive committees of the party, not the national caretaker leadership.

In its ruling, the court said neither the Nigerian Constitution nor the party’s constitution gives the caretaker interim national working committee led by David Mark the power to appoint committees for state congresses.

Lawmakers said they would wait for the outcome of the ongoing investigation by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, before taking any further action.
