BREAKING: Supreme Court dismisses Sule Lamido’s son Aminu’s appeal on undeclared $40,000 cash

The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by Aminu Sule Lamido, son of former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido, challenging his conviction for failing to declare $40,000 at the airport and for making a false declaration of foreign currency in a case brought by the EFCC. In a unanimous judgment delivered on Friday by a five‑member panel, the apex court resolved all three issues raised in the appeal against Aminu and held that the case lacked merit.​ In the lead judgment written by Justice Adamu Jauro and read by Justice Abubakar Umar, the court affirmed the earlier decision of the Court of Appeal, Kaduna, which had upheld the verdict of the Federal High Court in Kano. The trial court had, in its July 12, 2015 judgment, convicted Aminu and ordered the forfeiture of 25 per cent of the undeclared […]

Kano suspends doctors over scissors found in patient’s stomach

Kano State Hospitals Management Board has suspended three medical doctors at the Abubakar Imam Urology Centre after an investigation confirmed that surgical scissors were mistakenly left inside the stomach of a patient, leading to her death. The victim, identified as Aishatu Umar, a mother of five, had undergone surgery at the government‑owned facility in September 2025 and reportedly suffered persistent abdominal pains for months afterward.​ A fresh scan conducted days ago revealed that a pair of scissors had been forgotten in her abdomen during the initial operation, prompting plans for corrective surgery. Unfortunately, she died on Sunday while preparations were underway, sparking outrage from relatives and members of the public over alleged medical negligence at the centre.​ In a statement, the Board’s Executive Secretary, Dr Mansur Mudi Nagoda, described the incident as clear medical negligence and announced the immediate suspension […]

Police insist bail is free, urge public to report erring officers

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has restated that bail is free in all police formations, warning officers against extorting suspects or their relatives under the guise of granting administrative bail. FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, gave the assurance while reacting to public complaints that some personnel were still demanding money before releasing suspects on bail.​ Adeh clarified that no officer is authorised to request or receive payment for bail, describing such demands as corrupt, unprofessional and punishable under police regulations. She urged members of the public to insist on their rights, refuse unlawful payments and document any attempt at extortion, including names, ranks, stations and evidence where possible.​ The command encouraged citizens to promptly report erring officers through the Divisional Police Officers, Area Commanders, the Police Complaints Response Unit and official hotlines and social media channels. It also […]

Just in: Panic as Lagos public school building collapses in Ikorodu

Residents of the Odo‑Kekere community in Ikorodu, Lagos State, were thrown into panic when a section of a public secondary school building suddenly collapsed on Thursday evening. The affected structure, located within Odokekere High School and owned by the Lagos State Government, reportedly gave way with a loud crash that drew people from the neighbourhood to the scene.​ Authorities and school sources confirmed that no casualties were recorded in the incident, as students had closed for the day before the section of the building caved in. Officials from the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency and the Lagos State Building Control Agency later cordoned off the premises to prevent access pending further safety checks.​ In a preliminary reaction, the Lagos State Government disclosed that the classroom block had earlier been marked for demolition as part of plans to build a new […]

Tinubu salutes Bisi Akande’s national legacy at 87

President Bola Tinubu has paid glowing tribute to elder statesman Chief Bisi Akande on his 87th birthday, describing him as a pillar of Nigeria’s democracy and a builder of modern party politics. In a special message, Tinubu praised the former Osun State governor and pioneer National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for his life of service, sacrifice and unwavering commitment to progressive ideals.​ Tinubu recalled Akande’s journey from his early career as an accountant with British Petroleum to key roles in public service, including Secretary to the Government and Deputy Governor of old Oyo State before becoming governor of Osun between 1999 and 2003. He noted that as Interim Chairman of the APC, Akande laid the foundation for the coalition that unseated an incumbent federal government for the first time in Nigeria’s history in 2015.​ The president lauded […]

ISWAP attacks: Court exonerates DSS over terror suspect’s whereabouts

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has exonerated the Department of State Services (DSS) over allegations that it secretly detained and killed alleged ISWAP leader in Kogi, Yusuf Lukman Omeiza, who was linked to a series of terror attacks. The suit was filed by Omeiza’s relatives, Jimoh Yusuf and Fati Mohammed, who sought declarations that his alleged arrest, detention and killing without trial violated his right to life and demanded 10 billion naira in damages from the DSS and the Attorney General of the Federation.​ Lawyers to the plaintiffs relied largely on claims that the suspect had disappeared after his 2015 arrest in Okene, insisting that security agents must be held responsible. However, the DSS, through its counsel, argued that the allegation of extra‑judicial killing was based on hearsay and tendered documents to show that Omeiza was transferred to […]

Tinubu okays carbon market framework, eyes $3bn yearly inflow by 2030

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the full rollout of Nigeria’s national carbon market framework, a landmark climate policy projected to generate up to $3 billion in annual revenue by 2030 from carbon credits and emissions trading. The move aims to position Nigeria as a leading player in global carbon markets while boosting non oil revenue and supporting the energy transition.​ Under the framework, the Federal Government will establish a national carbon registry, mandate emissions reporting by companies and introduce phased compliance measures aligned with Nigeria’s climate commitments. These measures are tied to interim emissions reduction targets up to 2035 and the long term goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2060.​ To attract investors, the policy provides generous incentives, including tax exemptions on carbon credit earnings for up to 10 years, accelerated capital allowances for low carbon assets and […]

Senator Natasha breaks silence on FG’s withdrawal of criminal charges

Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan has reacted to the Federal Government’s decision to withdraw the criminal charges earlier filed against her over alleged defamation and cyber related offences. The Kogi Central lawmaker said the move vindicates her long standing claims that the case was politically motivated and aimed at silencing her.​ Court documents show that the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation filed a notice of discontinuance on December 12, 2025, effectively ending the case marked FHC/ABJ/CR/195/2025 at the Federal High Court in Abuja. The charges stemmed from petitions by Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi governor Yahaya Bello after Natasha alleged during a TV interview that her life was being threatened.​ Senator Natasha thanked Nigerians, civil society groups and her constituents for standing by her throughout the legal battle. She maintained that public office holders must be […]

Suspected Fulani militants unleash mayhem on Delta community

Suspected Fulani militants have reportedly invaded Umeh community in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, unleashing violence on residents and forcing many to flee. Community sources say the attackers have laid siege to the area for days, destroying farmlands and terrorising villagers.​ Local youth leader, Emmanuel Oko, said the militants have been moving with sophisticated weapons, shooting sporadically and preventing farmers from accessing their fields. He warned that the community is on the brink of collapse as people abandon their homes out of fear.​ Residents accuse the armed men of targeting Christian farmers and attempting to seize their ancestral land for grazing. They lament that repeated appeals to security agencies and government officials have not produced a lasting response.​ Community leaders are calling on the Delta State and Federal Governments to urgently deploy troops and law enforcement to […]

60 years after: Remembering the bloody coup that changed Nigeria forever

Nigeria is marking 60 years since the January 15, 1966 coup that toppled the First Republic and opened the door to decades of military rule. The bloody takeover, led by young officers who claimed to be fighting corruption and political chaos, has remained one of the most disputed turning points in the nation’s history.​ Key political figures, including Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Northern Premier Ahmadu Bello and Western Premier Ladoke Akintola, were killed along with senior military officers. The fact that most of the victims were northern leaders fuelled deep resentment and the perception of an ethnically biased operation, especially in the North.​ The coup was quickly followed by a counter coup in July 1966, massacres in the North and, eventually, the Nigerian Civil War between 1967 and 1970. Analysts say these events shattered trust among regions and ethnic […]
