US pulls some embassy staff from Nigeria over insecurity

In a travel advisory issued on Wednesday, the department urged American citizens to reconsider travelling to Nigeria from April 8 2026 due to crime, terrorism, kidnapping, civil unrest and limited healthcare services. Nigeria has been placed at Level 3 Reconsider Travel, while 23 states are now listed under Level 4 Do Not Travel. The advisory newly added Plateau, Jigawa, Kwara, Niger and Taraba to the Level 4 list. They join other high risk northern areas such as Borno, Yobe, Kogi and northern Adamawa where terrorism and kidnapping remain a serious threat. Several southern states, including Abia, Anambra, Bayelsa, Delta, Enugu, Imo and Rivers State excluding Port Harcourt, were also flagged because of high levels of crime and unrest.

ADC crisis deepens as David Mark‑led NWC, state chairmen clash over party control

The leadership crisis rocking the African Democratic Congress has worsened as a bloc of state chairmen has openly clashed with the David Mark‑led National Working Committee over control of the party. The 25 chairmen, who say they constitute the core of the party’s National Executive Committee, announced in Abuja that they have collectively assumed interim leadership of the ADC. Their move follows the Independent National Electoral Commission’s decision to delist Mark and National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola from its records and to stop recognising any of the contending factions pending a court ruling. INEC’s action, based on a Court of Appeal judgment in the leadership dispute between Mark and Nafiu Bala Gombe, effectively left the party without an officially recognised national chairman. Led by Abia chairman Don Norman Obinna, the state chairmen rejected both the Mark coalition and the Gombe camp, […]

Troops, DSS and volunteers repel Niger bandits’ attack, kill scores

A combined team of security forces and local fighters has repelled a major bandits’ attack in Niger State, killing scores of the assailants after a prolonged gun battle. The operation involved operatives of the Department of State Services, troops of the Armed Forces and community‑based volunteers who were alerted after terrorists stormed rural communities. Security sources said the confrontation began when heavily armed bandits linked to notorious kingpins Dogo Gide and Leyi attacked Chibani village in Munya Local Government Area, killing one resident and injuring a policeman and another villager. The following day, about 200 bandits reportedly advanced on a security base in Kuchi town, also in Munya LGA, prompting a swift counter‑offensive by the joint team. In the firefight that followed, security operatives “neutralised scores” of the attackers, with many others fleeing with gunshot wounds and several of their […]

ADC NEC takes over party administration, appoints interim leadership

The National Executive Council of the African Democratic Congress has announced that it is taking over the administration of the party and putting in place an interim leadership structure. The move follows a prolonged leadership tussle and multiple court cases over who legally controls the ADC ahead of the 2027 elections. At an emergency NEC meeting in Abuja, key stakeholders resolved to sideline the warring factions and mandated a caretaker team to manage the party’s affairs until a national convention is held. Leaders aligned with former interim chairman David Mark and other elders said the step became necessary to stabilise the party and restore confidence among members and aspirants. The interim leadership has been tasked with organising a credible national convention, reconciling aggrieved blocs and ensuring strict adherence to the party’s constitution and the Electoral Act. NEC members also warned […]

IBAN demands apology from Wike over ‘shoot’ remark, threatens boycott

The Independent Broadcasters Association of Nigeria has demanded a public apology from Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike over his controversial remark about Channels TV anchor Seun Okinbaloye. During a recent live programme, Wike had said that if he could break his TV screen he would “shoot” Okinbaloye over the journalist’s analysis of Nigeria’s democracy, a comment that sparked outrage among media stakeholders. In a statement signed by IBAN chairman Ahmed Ramalan and acting general secretary Fidelis Duker, the association described the minister’s words as inappropriate and capable of being interpreted as a threat or intimidation against journalists. While Wike later clarified that he did not intend physical harm, IBAN said public officials must avoid expressions suggesting violence because they can worsen an already hostile environment for media practitioners who face surveillance, attacks and arbitrary arrests. IBAN has therefore asked […]

Senate moves to reboot Nigeria’s agricultural colleges

US–Iran conflict: MAN lists urgent steps to shield Nigerian manufacturers

The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria has warned that the escalating US–Iran conflict and wider Middle East tensions could severely disrupt Nigeria’s manufacturing sector through higher energy costs, shipping delays and imported‑input inflation. MAN says the shock comes just as inflation and capacity utilisation were beginning to improve, raising fears that recent macroeconomic gains could be reversed. To cushion the blow, MAN is urging the Federal Government to prioritise access to foreign exchange for manufacturers importing critical raw materials and spare parts. The association also wants domestic refineries compelled to allocate sufficient fuel and diesel to local industries at predictable prices to reduce exposure to volatile global markets. On logistics, MAN has called for an immediate six‑month suspension of multiple haulage levies, discretionary highway taxes and transit tolls that have made product distribution more expensive nationwide. It further recommends fast‑tracking energy […]

2027: Tinubu’s ex‑ministers to face stiff battles in home states

Fresh political permutations ahead of the 2027 general elections are pitching some of President Bola Tinubu’s former ministers against powerful forces in their home states. Vanguard reports that at least four ex‑ministers nursing governorship or senatorial ambitions are expected to resign and immediately confront entrenched party structures and sitting governors. The affected states include Kano Abia Bauchi Gombe Kebbi and Adamawa where local dynamics and existing rivalries could complicate their paths to party tickets. In several of these states, incumbent governors and influential bloc leaders are said to be uncomfortable with the growing profiles of the former federal appointees. According to the report, some state party leaders fear that a direct entry of ex‑ministers into the 2027 race could upset delicate zoning arrangements and existing succession understandings. This has raised the prospect of silent feuds between the presidency’s allies and […]
