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.

The bodies of the victims were taken to the police station. […]

Northwest Group Rejects Amnesty Report on Insecurity

The Northwest Democracy Monitoring Group (NDMG) has strongly criticised Amnesty International’s latest report on insecurity in Nigeria, describing it as inaccurate and misleading. In a statement released on Sunday, the group’s chairman, Abubakar Sani, accused Amnesty of presenting “inflated and unsubstantiated” data that could fuel division and unrest in the country. “We categorically challenge the numbers cited in this report, deeming them grossly inflated, misleading, and ultimately inflammatory,” Sani said. He urged Amnesty to reconsider its approach to reporting on Nigeria, noting that such figures undermine efforts to strengthen democracy and stability. Amnesty International had claimed in its recent report that hundreds of people were killed or displaced in violent attacks across Nigeria in the last year. However, the NDMG insisted that its field research across several communities in the Northwest painted a different picture. “Our findings starkly contrast with […]

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,” […]
