NDLEA arrests Brazil returnee with cocaine hidden in body and footwear

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested a Brazil based Nigerian businessman, Uche Franklin Onyekwere, at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, for allegedly smuggling cocaine concealed in his private parts and in the soles of his shoes. Onyekwere was picked up on Thursday, January 29, 2026, during inward clearance of South African Airways passengers arriving from Brazil via Johannesburg, following processed intelligence. A full body scan reportedly indicated illicit drug concealment, after which he was subjected to a strip search. Officials said a large parcel of white powdery substance later confirmed as cocaine was found wrapped around his right thigh, while two more wraps were discovered hidden in the soles of a pair of flat shoes he was wearing. In total, three large wraps of cocaine weighing 1.60 kilogrammes were recovered. During preliminary interrogation, the 47 year old suspect […]

Bandits burn Niger police station, church, abduct five in fresh attack

Bandits have again attacked Agwara local government area of Niger State, burning the divisional police station and a church and abducting about five residents in an early morning raid. The gunmen stormed Agwara in the early hours of Sunday, first overrunning the local police station before setting it ablaze. They later moved to the United Methodist Church in the town, where they burnt part of the building. This is the same area where about 300 pupils, students and teachers of St Mary’s Catholic School were abducted last year. Niger State police spokesperson, SP Wasiu Abiodun, said the bandits invaded the station at about 3:40 a.m. A police tactical team engaged them but was eventually overpowered. He said the attackers used suspected dynamite to blow up and burn the station before heading to the church and other parts of the community, […]

Otti to predecessors: No law says I must live in Govt House

Abia State governor Alex Otti says no law compels him to live or work from the Government House in Umuahia, despite threats by some former governors to sue him over the issue. Speaking at a media parley in Umuahia, Otti said he is ready for any legal challenge and has already consulted his lawyers. He noted that after studying the Constitution, he found no provision that forces a governor to reside in a particular location. Otti explained that he currently operates from his private residence in Nvosi because the Governor’s Lodge and offices in Government House were left in a deplorable condition by previous administrations. He said the facilities are being rebuilt, including a new governor’s office, and insisted he owes no one an explanation for his temporary base. His comments followed recent threats by former governors Orji Uzor Kalu, […]

Oyedele reminds Nigerians of March 31 deadline for individual tax returns

Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, has urged Nigerians to file their annual tax returns within the deadlines set by law. He said employers must file their annual returns for employees, including pay projections and tax deductions, by January 31 each year. Individuals, including salary earners, must file their self assessment tax returns by March 31 for the previous fiscal year. Speaking during a webinar for HR managers, payroll officers, chief financial officers and tax managers, organised with the Joint Revenue Board, Oyedele warned that compliance levels remain very low nationwide. He noted that even in the most advanced states, less than five per cent of eligible individuals file returns. He explained that employees often assume that once employers deduct tax from their salaries, they have no further obligation. He stressed that this […]

Group backs NAFDAC, urges strict enforcement of sachet alcohol ban

The Renevlyn Development Initiative has urged NAFDAC to stand firm on enforcing the ban on the production, distribution and sale of alcoholic drinks in sachets and containers of 200 millilitres and below. In a statement signed by its Executive Director, Philip Jakpor, the group said the call became necessary following rising opposition from sections of the alcohol and beverage industry after enforcement began on January 22. He noted that the current crackdown is the outcome of more than two years of engagements between NAFDAC and industry stakeholders. Jakpor recalled that the Association of Food, Beverage and Tobacco Employers and the Distillers and Blenders Association of Nigeria signed an agreement with the Federal Ministry of Health and NAFDAC in December 2018 to phase out alcohol in sachets and PET bottles below 200ml by January 31, 2024. The deadline was later extended […]

Petrol price may rise again as crude oil hits new high

Nigerians may face another round of petrol price increases as crude oil prices continue to climb on the international market. Nigeria’s Bonny Light crude has risen to 70.30 dollars per barrel from 64 dollars last week, about a 10 per cent increase and the highest level so far this year. Brent crude now trades at 70.15 dollars per barrel, up from 66 dollars, while Murban crude has moved to 68.01 dollars from 65.20 dollars. Earlier in the week, filling stations raised petrol pump prices to an average of 850 naira per litre from 750 naira, citing the rise in crude prices. The Dangote Refinery and oil marketers argued that crude oil is the main input cost and that higher crude prices inevitably push up fuel prices. However, while crude prices went up by about 6.2 per cent, the local petrol […]
