DSS witness: Rescued Abuja Kaduna train victims petitioned Tukur Mamu

A Department of State Services investigator has told the Federal High Court in Abuja that several victims rescued from the 2022 Abuja Kaduna train attack submitted written complaints against alleged terrorist negotiator Tukur Mamu.​ The operative, who testified as the sixth prosecution witness and gave evidence behind a screen for security reasons, made the disclosure while being cross examined by Mamu’s lead counsel, Johnson Usman, SAN. Asked if any of the rescued victims, including the wife of the Commandant in Jaji, lodged complaints against Mamu, he replied in the affirmative and confirmed the complaints were in writing.​ DSS lawyer David Kaswe urged the court to stop the defence from asking questions that might reveal the identities of victims or witnesses, reminding the court that an order for their protection had been granted. Usman argued that none of the names he […]

NAFDAC clarifies sachet alcohol ban, says no company shut

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has clarified that it has not shut down any alcohol producing company while enforcing the ban on alcoholic drinks in sachets and small containers below 200 millilitres.​ The agency said the enforcement, backed by a recent Senate resolution and the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, is aimed at protecting public health, especially children, adolescents and young adults, from harmful alcohol use.​ NAFDAC Director General, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, explained that the action targets only alcohol packaged in sachets and containers smaller than 200ml, not manufacturers themselves. “NAFDAC did not close down any company that makes alcohol. The agency only bans alcohol in sachets and small containers less than 200ml,” she said.​ She stressed that the policy is a public health intervention, not a punishment. “This ban is not punitive; […]

Abike Dabiri: Turkish officials shocked Tinubu stumble was big news

Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri Erewa, says Turkish officials were surprised that President Bola Tinubu’s brief stumble in Ankara became a major news topic in Nigeria. She reacted on X to a post by user Oguntoye Opeyemi, known as Equityoyo, who criticised the level of attention Nigerian media gave to the incident. Dabiri Erewa wrote that officials on the ground in Ankara were shocked to hear it was an issue back home. According to her, one Turkish official described the focus on the moment as “silly and mischievous” and stressed that their country was instead excited about what they saw as the successful outcome of Tinubu’s visit. She noted that Turkish media largely highlighted the positive aspects of the trip. Opeyemi also pointed out that no mainstream Turkish television station reported the President’s accidental slip, calling […]

Ndume warns northern anger over Tinubu may shape future elections

Senator Ali Ndume has warned that growing dissatisfaction in the North over the current state of governance could have serious electoral consequences if not addressed. Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time, the Borno South lawmaker said many northerners are unhappy and their frustration may eventually be reflected in their votes. He said anyone claiming there is no grumbling in the region is not being truthful. Ndume stressed that President Bola Tinubu still has time to turn things around but must urgently respond to the concerns being raised, especially on security, the economy and representation. He revealed that northern elders have previously met with President Tinubu to table their concerns. According to him, the President appeared prepared at those meetings and invited key appointees from the North for a robust discussion. However, Ndume said the follow up engagements the President promised […]

Police fire tear gas at Lagos residents protesting Makoko demolitions

There was tension in Lagos on Tuesday as police fired tear gas at residents protesting the demolition of homes in the Makoko waterfront community and other parts of the state. Members of the Makoko community, alongside activists and sympathisers, had gathered to condemn ongoing demolitions and forced evictions they say are displacing thousands of people, including women and children. The protesters marched with placards, chanting against what they described as inhumane and unlawful demolitions, and calling on the Lagos State Government to halt the exercise. They accused the authorities of extending demolitions far beyond previously agreed limits along the powerline corridor and of carrying on without proper notice, compensation or resettlement plans. Trouble started when security operatives, including officers of the Rapid Response Squad, moved in to disperse the crowd. Witnesses said the police fired multiple rounds of tear gas, […]

INEC moves ward level voter registration for 2027 polls

The Independent National Electoral Commission in Lagos says it will move its Continuous Voter Registration from local government offices to wards on a rotational basis ahead of the 2027 elections. Lagos Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof Ayobami Salami, told stakeholders at a meeting on the second phase of the CVR that the plan is to reduce voter apathy and make registration easier for eligible residents. He said CVR remains one of INEC’s most important duties because it allows Nigerians to register, transfer their registration, correct details and replace lost or damaged Permanent Voter Cards. Salami disclosed that in the first phase of the exercise, Lagos recorded 139,251 registrations, with 126,668 new voters and 12,583 transfers. Women made up 54 per cent of new registrants, while men accounted for 46 per cent. Youths aged 18 to 39 represented 65 per cent of […]

JAMB denies banning undergraduates from 2026 UTME

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has denied reports that undergraduates have been barred from registering for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry. JAMB spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said in a statement in Abuja that the rumour was a false interpretation of its guidelines by self-styled education advocates seeking online attention. He explained that the 2026 UTME and DE advertisement only directs candidates to state their current admission status during registration. Benjamin stressed that it is not an offence for a student already admitted into any institution to register for UTME or Direct Entry again. However, he said candidates must truthfully disclose that they are already matriculated, in line with JAMB’s duty to prevent multiple admissions. He noted that once a candidate secures a fresh admission after proper disclosure, the previous admission automatically becomes invalid. Under Nigeria’s […]

Obi challenges Tinubu over failed power promise after new grid collapse

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has questioned President Bola Tinubu over his campaign promise to deliver steady electricity, following another collapse of Nigeria’s national grid in January 2026. In a statement posted on his verified X account on Wednesday, Obi recalled Tinubu’s 2022 campaign pledge that if he failed to provide stable power in his first four years in office, Nigerians should not vote for him for a second term. He said the recent power failures clearly contradict that promise and should concern all Nigerians. Obi noted that the national grid had already collapsed twice in January 2026, even before the end of the month, and about twelve times in 2025. He described the frequent collapses as a sign of deep problems in the power sector, despite repeated assurances from the government. He also criticised President Tinubu’s frequent […]
