Police extradite fugitive to UK over murder, drug trafficking

The Nigeria Police Force has extradited a fugitive, Matthew Chukwuemeka Adebiyi, to the United Kingdom over alleged involvement in murder and drug trafficking. The extradition was coordinated through the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB), Abuja, following a formal request by UK authorities made in September 2024. Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Anthony Placid, said Adebiyi was wanted in connection with the alleged murder of 20‑year‑old Joshua Boadu on June 18, 2018, in the UK, after which he fled to Nigeria. He added that the suspect was also accused of participating in the supply of crack cocaine, a Class‑A controlled drug, between October 2017 and March 2018 in the United Kingdom.

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says satellite towns across the territory are now benefiting significantly from President Bola Tinubu’s administration through upgraded infrastructure and expanded social services. Speaking on Wednesday after inspecting ongoing projects in Abuja, Wike said federal interventions now extend beyond major roads to education, water supply and healthcare facilities in previously neglected communities. He noted that satellite towns had “never experienced such a level of attention” before now, pointing out that several schools in rural parts of the FCT have been renovated and furnished in the last three years.

Oborevwori cracks down on illegal devt levy, warns defaulters of tough sanctions

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has reiterated the ban on the illegal collection of development levies known as “Deve” in Delta State, warning that violators will face strict consequences. He issued the warning during an inspection of the Warri Stadium project, stressing that his administration will not tolerate any activity capable of disrupting government, corporate or private development projects. His remarks follow the recent arraignment of two suspects accused of engaging in the illegal development levy collection in the state. Oborevwori described all unauthorised charges imposed on developers and contractors as “dead on arrival,” noting that such practices hinder infrastructure delivery and discourage investment. He commended Warri South Local Government chairman Weyinmi Agbatayeniro for sustaining peace and supporting ongoing development efforts in the area. Oborevwori added that close collaboration between state and local authorities remains critical to successful project execution. […]

Aregbesola’s old tweet about Tinubu’s leadership resurfaces after ‘govt of scammers’ comment

An old social media post by former Osun State governor Rauf Aregbesola praising President Bola Tinubu’s leadership has resurfaced online following his recent description of the current administration as a “government of scammers.” The 2017 tweet, now widely shared on X, showed Aregbesola crediting Tinubu for shaping his political career, saying: “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership and the opportunity to work with him to take Lagos forward was a huge factor in making me who I am today.” The renewed attention came after Aregbesola, now national secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), criticised the Tinubu administration while addressing delegates at the party’s national convention. Speaking at the event, he attacked the “Renewed Hope” agenda and urged Nigerians to stop the ruling party from retaining power in 2027. “Four years ago, this government promised Nigerians renewed hope for a better […]

Edun urges developing nations to act early against global shocks

Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has urged developing countries to take early, proactive steps to shield their economies from global shocks, warning that poor policy choices could derail reforms and worsen inflation. Speaking at a G24 news conference on the sidelines of the IMF meetings in Washington, D.C., Edun said today’s uncertain global environment demands careful, balanced decisions, especially in vulnerable developing economies. He cautioned that raising interest rates too quickly could undermine ongoing reforms, while delayed action could allow inflation to spiral. He noted that central banks in developing countries face tough choices as they navigate energy crises, geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions that are driving up the cost of fuel, fertiliser and food. While oil‑exporting nations may benefit from higher prices, he stressed that both oil producers and importers are battling […]

Court fixes May 26 for DSS to open case against Malami, son

The Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed May 26 for the Department of State Services (DSS) to open its case of alleged terrorism against former Attorney General of the Federation Abubakar Malami, SAN, and his son, Abdulaziz. The DSS is prosecuting Malami and his son on terrorism‑related charges before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik. At Tuesday’s hearing, prosecution counsel Akinlolu Kehinde, SAN, informed the court that an amended five‑count charge had been filed to replace an earlier one on which the defendants were arraigned. Kehinde applied to withdraw the original charge and asked that the amended charge be read to the defendants so they could take fresh pleas, a request the court granted. Defence lawyer Shaibu Aruwa, SAN, confirmed that his clients had been served with the amended charge and did not oppose the application. The amended charge alleges that in […]
