FCT Doctors Threaten Strike Over Colleague’s Kidnapping

Members of the Nigerian Medical Association in the Federal Capital Territory have threatened to shut down all medical services and stage a protest if their colleague, Dr. Chinonye Nwachukwu, is not released from kidnappers’ custody. Dr. Nwachukwu, who recently returned from studying in Ukraine to work at Garki Hospital in Abuja, has been held by kidnappers for 16 days. Despite reporting the abduction to agencies like the Department of State Security and the FCT Police, the doctors say no effective action has been taken to secure her release. The NMA’s FCT President, Dr. Emeka Ayogu, said that unless prompt rescue actions are initiated, doctors in Abuja will have no choice but to withdraw their services or protest peacefully. He described the association as deeply concerned, noting that the group has used every diplomatic channel so far without any result. According […]

Nigeria Urged to Strengthen Copyright Protection for Performers

Prof. Dorcas Odunaike, a specialist in commercial and intellectual property law at Babcock University, has called on lawmakers to improve the 2022 Copyright Act to better protect the rights of performers. She made these remarks during Babcock University’s 56th inaugural lecture in Ilishan-Remo, emphasizing the growing challenges from technology, digital piracy, and new forms of digital manipulation, such as deep fakes. Prof. Odunaike explained that if the Copyright Act is updated and properly implemented, it could bring better financial rewards to performers and boost Nigeria’s creative economy. She noted challenges that performers face include tracking the use of their work, dealing with piracy and bootlegging, and threats from digital platforms. Nigeria’s creative industry currently makes up about 2% of the country’s GDP and employs around 4.2 million people in areas like Nollywood, music, fashion, and digital media. However, the rapid […]

Trump’s Comments Reflect Nigeria’s Deeper Problems, Says Bishop Kukah

Catholic Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah of Sokoto Diocese says recent remarks by former U.S. President Donald Trump on Nigeria point to the country’s ongoing internal problems, rather than being the cause of them. Speaking in Lagos at the 60th birthday celebration for journalist and former presidential aide Reuben Abati, Bishop Kukah addressed Trump’s October 31 statement. Trump had called Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” due to reports of attacks on Christians and warned of possible U.S. actions if this continued. Bishop Kukah emphasized that Trump’s comments should make Nigerian leaders reflect on the country’s foundational issues. He noted, “Trump is not our problem. He is only repeating what we have ignored. The real challenge lies within Nigeria.” He described Nigeria as a nation facing weak institutions, unstable values, and a lack of shared national vision. Kukah said, “If we […]

The Ogun State Police Command has arrested two Cameroonian nationals for involvement in human trafficking and kidnapping. The police said that the suspects lured victims into Nigeria by promising to help them get foreign visas.

US Congress seeks visa bans, asset freezes on Miyetti Allah

A new bill introduced in the United States Congress seeks to impose visa bans and asset freezes on members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore over alleged violations of religious freedom against Christians in Nigeria. The bill, sponsored by Representative Christopher Smith, follows the U.S. re-designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) under the International Religious Freedom Act — a status given to countries accused of serious violations of religious freedom. Smith praised U.S. President Donald Trump for the decision, which came amid growing tensions between Washington and Abuja over allegations of religious persecution. The Nigerian Federal Government, however, dismissed any panic, saying it has opened diplomatic discussions with the U.S. to address the concerns. Information Minister Mohammed Idris said after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting that Nigeria […]
