FRSC moves to prosecute TikToker Peller for alleged reckless driving

The Federal Road Safety Corps has announced plans to prosecute popular TikTok streamer Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, following a road traffic crash linked to alleged distracted driving. The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, said the case reflects a worrying rise in irresponsible road use among celebrities, influencers and content creators, which he warned threatens public safety and undermines national road safety campaigns.​ The decision followed the circulation of a viral video showing Peller live streaming while driving shortly before the crash. Mohammed described the conduct as unlawful and dangerous, stressing that social media fame does not place anyone above traffic regulations or shield them from legal consequences.​ In a statement signed by FRSC spokesperson Olusegun Ogungbemide, the corps marshal said the incident should serve as a stark reminder that reckless behaviour on public roads can easily lead to loss […]

NAF aircraft in Burkina Faso was on ferry mission, not covert operation

A senior Nigerian military source has dismissed claims that a Nigerian Air Force aircraft was on a clandestine mission in Burkina Faso. The source explained that the C-130 transport plane was on a scheduled ferry mission to Portugal when it made an emergency diversion to Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, after the crew noticed a technical issue.​ According to the source, the diversion followed standard aviation safety procedures and was not linked to any combat, intelligence, or political operation in Burkina Faso or the wider Sahel region. The aircraft reportedly headed to the nearest suitable airfield to ensure the safety of the crew and passengers, in line with international aviation protocols.​ The Nigerian Air Force has also clarified in earlier statements that Burkina Faso did not ground the aircraft but received it after the precautionary landing. The crew and the other Nigerian […]

22 year old held for faking own kidnap to collect N1.5m ransom

Police detectives in Ondo State have arrested a 22 year old truck driver and two friends for allegedly staging his own kidnapping to extort N1.5 million from his family.

A Girl’s Trust Betrayed: Pastor’s Crime Leaves Her a Mother at 13

A trusted pastor in Ogun State has been sentenced to 21 years in prison for the defilement of a 12-year-old girl, an act that resulted in her becoming a mother at the age of 13. The tragedy began when the victim, identified as Blessing, was sent home from school for an unpaid N1,500 textbook fee. With her parents away at work, their neighbour, Pastor Oluwole Jonathan of Christ Apostolic Church, Land of Mercy, invited the girl into his home. There, he drugged her and assaulted her.
