 Sheikh Gumi Denies Fleeing Nigeria to Turkey to Escape Trump

Controversial Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has denied social media rumors claiming he fled Nigeria to hide in Turkey due to fears of US President Donald Trump’s threat of military intervention over alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria. Gumi, currently in Turkey giving interviews, provided proof that his visa was obtained weeks before Trump’s November 1 tweet. Photos online had fueled suspicions, with users speculating Gumi’s ties to suspected terrorists led him to escape. Gumi called such claims “melancholy, concocted lies,” emphasizing Trump “has no power over us.” Gumi argued accusations of Christian genocide are “Islamophobia” and manipulation, sharing a message from a doctor alleging fake mass killings in the Middle Belt. He criticized Trump for spreading “dangerously deceptive” claims about violence in Nigeria. Gumi urged Nigerians not to trust external claims of genocide, invoking past examples of misinformation and insisting […]

Kano Lawmaker Quits NNPP Over Leadership Crisis

Sagir Ibrahim Koki, Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Midstream) and representative of Kano Municipal Federal Constituency, has resigned from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP). Koki announced his resignation via his official X account, attributing his exit to persistent national leadership crises within the party. In his letter to the Zaitawa Ward Chairperson, Koki cited his constitutional right to quit and referenced internal party conflicts as the main reason for stepping down. He said the ongoing leadership disputes made it “difficult, if not impossible,” to fulfill his duties to Kano Municipal residents. Koki thanked the party for the chance to serve and acknowledged the support and experience gained. His move follows the recent defection of Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi from NNPP to PDP, intensifying speculation over the party’s future.

Naval Officer in Face-Off with Wike Breached the Law, Says SAN

Constitutional law expert Prof. Sebastine Hon, SAN, has said the naval officer involved in an Abuja land face-off with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike violated the law. Hon condemned Naval Officer A.M. Yerima’s decision to block Wike’s access to a disputed plot, insisting military personnel are not bound to obey illegal or manifestly unjust orders. Citing Supreme Court rulings, Hon argued that the officer's conduct—guarding a private construction site under suspicious circumstances—was unlawful and breached both the Nigerian Constitution and military regulations. He stressed Wike's authority as FCT Minister, acting “in loco” of the President for Abuja land administration under Sections 297(2) and 302 of the 1999 Constitution, meaning Wike should not have been obstructed, even by a serving soldier. The SAN asserts the officer could face court martial for obstructing a public officer in performance of his duty. The incident, […]

 Panic as Bandits Abduct 6 Defence Ministry Directors, Kill 3 Youths in Nasarawa

There is panic in Nigeria’s Federal Civil Service following the abduction of six directors from the Defence Ministry by gunmen along the Kabba-Lokoja highway while en route from Lagos to Abuja for official promotion exams. The victims—Mrs. Ngozi Ibeziakor, Mrs. C. Emeribe, Mrs. Helen Ezeakor, Mrs. C. Ladoye, Mrs. J. Onwuzurike, and Mrs. Catherine Essien—are all members of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, working at Command Day Secondary School, Ojo.

“I’m Most Qualified Candidate for ICJ Seat” — Nigeria’s Elias

Dr. Olufemi Elias, Nigeria’s candidate for the International Court of Justice (ICJ), asserts he is the most qualified contender for the vacancy, citing his combined background as an academic, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General, and judge. “My profile ticks all the boxes,” he told NAN, pointing to over 20 years at the UN, current service as Judge Ad Hoc at the ICJ, and work in high-level administrative tribunals for OPEC and the Islamic Development Bank. Elias contrasts his candidacy with rivals Charles Jalloh and Phoebe Okowa, emphasizing his unique experience in UN operations and direct judicial duty at the ICJ, in addition to scholarly distinction.

FG Bans Production, Sale of Alcohol in Sachets, Small Bottles

The Federal Government has officially banned the production, sale, and distribution of alcoholic beverages packaged in sachets and bottles below 200ml, with full enforcement beginning January 1, 2026. NAFDAC Director-General Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye cited the move as essential to curb alcohol abuse, particularly among youth and commercial drivers. Over 1,000 personnel will be recruited for NAFDAC to enforce the ban. The decision follows Senate and Ministry of Health directives, targeting spirit drinks in sachets and small bottles, but not all alcoholic beverages. The ban aims to reduce addiction, domestic violence, accidents, and crime linked to cheap, unregulated alcohol. Producers, distributors, and retailers must comply with the December 2025 deadline.

Trump: Diplomatic Engagements Yielding Results — FG

The Federal Government of Nigeria says ongoing diplomatic dialogue with the US under President Trump is producing “positive results,” opening channels for mutual understanding and practical cooperation on security, economic, and religious tensions. Information Minister Mohammed Idris highlights better US appreciation of Nigeria's complex social challenges and urges continued partnership to combat terrorism. US Congressman Bill Huizenga criticizes Nigeria’s handling of Christian attacks, advocating economic sanctions over military intervention and calling out failures to protect all citizens. US-Nigeria ties face scrutiny after Trump’s viral remarks threatening intervention. Nigerian leaders argue for economic pressure rather than armed response. Vatican Envoy Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu and Northern CAN urge dialogue, not anger, to resolve religious violence, while Afenifere warns against full-scale US military campaigns—advocates intelligence sharing and limited operations via drones instead. Senator Orji Kalu affirms both Christians and Muslims are victims of […]

Presidency Eyes NNPC Shake-Up As Oil Output Falters

The Nigerian presidency is considering major reforms at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) amid concerns over faltering oil production. Special Adviser on Energy, Olu Verheijen, announced at a petroleum conference in Lagos that Nigeria’s goal of producing 3 million barrels per day requires more than the current NNPC structure and output. NNPC Exploration & Production Limited currently produces only 220,000 barrels/day, less than 10% of national output, and struggles with the financial capacity to fund new drilling campaigns. Verheijen advocated for “performance-based stewardship” and suggested restructuring asset ownership to involve reputable operators with strong technical and financial capacity, instead of relying solely on NNPC. She outlined four pillars for revitalizing the energy sector: reserves, revenues, reliability, and responsibility. Nigeria has secured $8bn in new investment and targets another $20bn for expansion into gas, petrochemicals, and refining. NNPC Chairman […]

 Oyo Road Protest Over Extension Leaves Motorists Stranded

Motorists were left stranded in Ibadan as thousands of residents affected by the Ibadan Circular Road Corridor project staged a peaceful protest against the proposed road extension. The demonstration began at the Ibadan-Ife road, causing a major traffic jam, with protesters later marching through Idi-Ape to the State Secretariat, Agodi. Protesters, carrying placards and banners, demanded that the Oyo State Government stick to the original 150-metre corridor marked by ex-Governor Rashidi Ladoja, rather than expanding it—fearing more houses and community land will be affected. They insisted the protest was non-partisan and not sponsored by politicians. Over 100 impacted communities, spanning seven local governments, participated in the protest. The demonstration led to the temporary shutdown of the state secretariat and disrupted businesses and commuters until order was restored. Protesters called on Governor Seyi Makinde to respect previous agreements, warning of further […]

Kano Group Storms National Assembly, Urges Senate to Confirm Ramat Abdullahi as NERC Chairman

A Kano-based advocacy group, Grassroots Initiative Concept, has called on the Senate to urgently confirm Ramat Abdullahi’s nomination as Executive Chairman/CEO of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC). The group praised Abdullahi’s record of integrity, competence, and public service, emphasizing his alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda. The open letter to President Tinubu and Senate leadership expressed concern over delays in Abdullahi’s confirmation, alleging vested interests aim to stall it. The group lauded Abdullahi’s decade-long experience in government and private sector and urged the Senate to “stand on the side of fairness, patriotism, and progress.” Confirming Abdullahi, they argued, would strengthen Nigeria’s electricity sector and set a precedent for institutional integrity. The group reaffirmed support for President Tinubu’s nomination and called on the Senate to prioritize justice and national interest in the energy sector.
