NDLEA arrests wanted drug kingpin after 13 years on the run

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested a wanted drug kingpin, Reginald Peter Chidiebere, who had been in hiding for 13 years over cocaine and heroin trafficking. The NDLEA said Chidiebere first entered its net in 2013 over a cocaine shipment and was arraigned before Justice Ayokunle Faji of the Federal High Court in Lagos, but he jumped bail and disappeared. His name resurfaced in February 2024 as one of the alleged masterminds behind the importation of 49.70 kilograms of heroin from South Africa, intercepted at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. The agency disclosed that after a series of seizures linked to him, Chidiebere could no longer sustain life in hiding and eventually surrendered to NDLEA operatives on February 13, 2026. He is now in custody and will face his long pending 2013 charges as well as […]

Plateau residents lament as serial attacks kill 19, farmlands abandoned

Residents of Plateau State say their communities are turning into wastelands as renewed attacks by gunmen leave more people dead and drive farmers off their lands. At least 19 people were recently killed in coordinated night raids on Manja community in Chakfem kingdom of Mangu Local Government Area and Tangur community in Bokkos Local Government Area. Witnesses said the attackers arrived around 8 pm, shooting into homes and forcing residents to flee into the bush, with many women and children among the dead. Local leaders and community groups say repeated assaults over the years have forced many residents to abandon farmlands, turning once fertile areas into empty fields and bush paths.​​ They lament that crops have been destroyed, harvested produce looted or burnt, and that fear now keeps many farmers from returning to their villages.​​ Community representatives argue that the […]

Senate rejects fresh bid to amend 2026 Electoral Act

The Senate has rejected fresh calls to amend the 2026 Electoral Act, asking opposition leaders to channel their grievances through proper legislative procedures. Opposition figures, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi, had demanded an immediate review of the new law, describing it as anti democratic and skewed in favour of the ruling party ahead of the 2027 elections. They argued that certain sections of the Act undermine electoral transparency and called for the removal of what they termed obnoxious provisions that could weaken the credibility of future polls. Responding, the Senate leadership dismissed the pressure for a hurried amendment and advised the opposition to submit specific proposals and work through the National Assembly’s established processes. Senate leaders maintained that the 2026 Electoral Act had followed due process, including passage by both chambers and assent by President Bola Tinubu, […]

FG warns Nigerians in Iran, Gulf over rising tensions

The Federal Government has issued a security advisory to Nigerians living in Iran and nearby Gulf countries, urging them to be extremely cautious due to rising tensions in the Middle East. The advisory followed heightened military activities and diplomatic strain in the region, which have raised concerns about possible escalation and attacks. Nigerians in Iran and affected Gulf states were advised to remain very vigilant, avoid crowded or sensitive areas, and closely monitor local news and official security updates. The government also urged them to keep important travel and identity documents safe, limit non essential movements, and maintain regular contact with family members. They were further encouraged to register with Nigerian embassies or consulates in their host countries so they can receive timely information and support if the situation worsens.

FG launches food relief, unveils new poverty exit plan

The Federal Government has launched an emergency food and nutrition relief programme in Niger State and unveiled a new long term strategy to lift vulnerable households out of poverty. The intervention is part of the Presidential Initiative for Food and Nutrition Assistance and is being implemented through the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.

Coalition condemns Sowore, backs Umahi on debt dispute

A coalition of civil society organisations has criticised activist Omoyele Sowore over his recent public confrontation with Minister of Works David Umahi, describing it as mere theatrics. The group defended Umahi over allegations by Tracy Ohiri, who claims the minister owes her money for campaign materials and used the police to intimidate her. Members of the coalition said Sowore’s viral engagement with Umahi on the issue was a calculated attempt to dramatise an ongoing legal matter and mislead the public.​​ They argued that Sowore’s style of activism focuses on spectacle rather than facts and due process and urged Nigerians to be cautious about drawing conclusions from social media clips.​​ The coalition maintained that the police acted on a formal petition and within their constitutional powers, not on the instructions of Umahi for any personal vendetta. They also claimed that Ohiri’s […]

Minna residents suffer as water crisis deepens

Residents of Minna, the Niger State capital, are facing a worsening water crisis despite the allocation of billions of naira to improve water supply over the years. Many homes have little or no access to pipe-borne water and now depend on vendors, boreholes, and distant water sources for their daily needs. Women and children trek long distances and queue for hours at boreholes and public taps, often starting before dawn to secure enough water for the day. The scarcity has disrupted schooling, as some children, especially girls, miss classes or arrive late because they spend mornings fetching water or waiting for vendors.​ Health risks are rising as desperate residents sometimes resort to unsafe water from streams, ponds, or other untreated sources, raising fears of outbreaks of waterborne diseases. Households also struggle financially as the cost of water from vendors has […]
