NDLEA arrests wanted drug kingpin after 13 years on the run

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested a wanted drug kingpin, Reginald Peter Chidiebere, who had been in hiding for 13 years over cocaine and heroin trafficking. The NDLEA said Chidiebere first entered its net in 2013 over a cocaine shipment and was arraigned before Justice Ayokunle Faji of the Federal High Court in Lagos, but he jumped bail and disappeared.

Minna residents suffer as water crisis deepens

Residents of Minna, the Niger State capital, are facing a worsening water crisis despite the allocation of billions of naira to improve water supply over the years. Many homes have little or no access to pipe-borne water and now depend on vendors, boreholes, and distant water sources for their daily needs. Women and children trek long distances and queue for hours at boreholes and public taps, often starting before dawn to secure enough water for the day. The scarcity has disrupted schooling, as some children, especially girls, miss classes or arrive late because they spend mornings fetching water or waiting for vendors.​ Health risks are rising as desperate residents sometimes resort to unsafe water from streams, ponds, or other untreated sources, raising fears of outbreaks of waterborne diseases. Households also struggle financially as the cost of water from vendors has […]
