Zamfara Governor Seeks Prayers from Islamic Scholars for Peace

Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, has called on Islamic scholars to intensify prayers for lasting peace in the state, which has been plagued by insecurity. The Governor made the appeal during a meeting with the Ulamas Consultative Forum at the Government House in Gusau. He emphasized the vital role religious leaders play in fostering peace and shaping public perception, as the community listens to them. Governor Lawal acknowledged that while significant progress has been made in the fight against banditry, the state is "not yet where we want to be." He affirmed that securing Zamfara is a collective effort that requires everyone's involvement. The meeting focused on strategies to enhance the effectiveness of preaching in ways that support the state's progress and stability.

US Genocide Debate Tied to FG’s Failure on Insecurity – Hashim

Former presidential candidate and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dr. Gbenga Hashim, has criticised the federal government for what he described as its “shamefully political and dangerously unserious” handling of Nigeria’s worsening insecurity. In a statement released over the weekend, Hashim accused the government of prioritising propaganda and political maneuvering over genuine efforts to protect citizens from terrorists and bandits. “This government treats the blood of innocent Nigerians like a campaign statistic,” he said. “Instead of confronting terrorists and bandits, they issue empty statements and blame imaginary enemies. Governance is not propaganda.” Hashim alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was more focused on gaining political advantage ahead of the 2027 elections than securing the country. “Rather than uniting the nation, the APC is pitching the South against the North,” he added. He linked the recent move by the […]

At least 10 people, including a village head (Baale), were killed when bandits attacked Oke-Ode community in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State on Sunday morning. Witnesses said the armed men stormed the village, firing sporadically, killing residents, and abducting several others whose number is yet to be confirmed. A member of the local vigilante group, identified as Ajetunmobi, told Sobi FM that security forces failed to act on warnings that the attackers had been sighted since Saturday night. “We alerted security operatives to be prepared, but by morning the bandits launched the attack, starting from the duty post and targeting vigilantes,” he said.

Aston Villa secure first Europa League win, Rangers suffer fresh setback

Aston Villa finally found relief from their poor start to the season with a 1-0 victory over Bologna to launch their Europa League campaign on Thursday, while Rangers boss Russell Martin came under growing pressure after a damaging home defeat to Genk. Despite going winless in their first five Premier League fixtures, Villa were tipped among the Europa League favourites, thanks to their strong European run last season and manager Unai Emery’s pedigree as a four-time winner of the competition. Villa captain John McGinn struck in the 13th minute, drilling a low shot into the corner to secure all three points against the Coppa Italia holders. However, doubts around the squad’s form persist. Ollie Watkins, still without a goal this season, missed a penalty after coming off the bench, his weak effort easily saved by goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski. Bologna came […]

Bandits attack Zamfara mosque, kill five, abduct worshippers

At least five worshippers were killed and several others abducted on Friday morning when armed bandits attacked a mosque in Yandoto village, Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State, during early morning prayers. Residents said the gunmen stormed the mosque around dawn and opened fire indiscriminately, killing five people instantly and injuring many others. “They came while we were praying and just started shooting,” one witness recounted.

PDP Govs Slam ADC Over Zamfara Meeting Criticism

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum has defended its recent meeting in Zamfara State, accusing the African Democratic Congress (ADC) of politicising insecurity instead of showing empathy to victims of bandit attacks. The ADC had criticised the PDP for holding a political meeting in Zamfara, only days after dozens of residents were killed by bandits. In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party accused the PDP governors of being insensitive and urged President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in Zamfara. ADC said: “Instead of rallying around their colleague to help stop the killings, PDP governors staged a political show in a state still mourning its dead. Their pictures in ceremonial attire, smiling for the camera, were insensitive.” Responding, the Director-General of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Emmanuel Agbo, described ADC’s comments as “irresponsible,” […]
