SERAP Urges UN To Act On Nigeria’s Insecurity Crisis

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres to urgently act on Nigeria’s escalating insecurity crisis, warning that it threatens regional and international peace. In an open letter dated May 30, 2026, signed by SERAP’s deputy director Kolawole Oluwadare, the group urged Guterres to invoke Article 99 of the UN Charter and formally bring Nigeria’s worsening situation—marked by mass abductions, killings, attacks on civilians, displacement, and other grave human rights violations—to the attention of the UN Security Council. SERAP asked the UN chief to encourage regular and public Security Council briefings on insecurity, abductions, and humanitarian consequences in Nigeria, and to request systematic reporting by relevant UN bodies on attacks, displacement, and their wider impact on civilians. The organisation also urged him to publicly call on Nigerian authorities to uphold their human rights […]

NDLEA Foils Shipment of High-Potency Drugs Hidden in Water Purifiers

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has foiled a shipment of high-potency opioids concealed inside industrial water purifiers, disrupting yet another sophisticated attempt to move dangerous drugs through Nigeria. According to the agency, the intercepted consignment contained large quantities of powerful opioids similar to those previously recovered from illegal warehouses, including high-strength tramadol and other controlled pharmaceutical substances. The traffickers allegedly packed the drugs in sealed compartments within the water purifiers to evade detection during routine checks. NDLEA officials said credible intelligence led operatives to the cargo before it could leave the country, with the operation coordinated alongside other security and port authorities. The seizure follows recent major busts in which the agency uncovered multi-billion naira opioid warehouses and dismantled a massive methamphetamine laboratory in Ogun State. The agency warned that criminal networks are increasingly turning to household and […]

Why Filmmakers Can’t Use Afrobeats Songs by Dammy Twitch

Music video director and filmmaker Dammy Twitch has explained why Nollywood producers can no longer freely use Afrobeats songs in their movies, citing artists selling their music rights to distribution companies as the primary reason. The reason is that most of the distribution companies Nigerian musicians use are based in the US or the UK since they don't have the infrastructure to handle rights management in Nigeria. Once artists sell their songs, filmmakers cannot afford the licensing fees required to use them in films. Dammy Twitch stated: "I think because people have sold their song already, so it gets to a point where I want to use this song for my film, for example, I can't afford it." He noted that many artists have already sold their music rights to distribution companies, making them inaccessible or prohibitively expensive for Nollywood […]

AY Makun Calls for National Unity in Fight Against Insecurity

Popular Nigerian comedian, actor, and filmmaker Ayo Makun, widely known as AY Makun, has called for national unity in the fight against Nigeria's escalating insecurity, describing the country as turning into a "crime scene" amid rising bandit attacks and kidnappings. AY Makun argued that financial ties to political interests can weaken accountability in Nigeria's security and governance system. He emphasized that Nigerians must unite across ethnic, religious, and political lines to demand real action from the government and security agencies to end the crisis. The comedian's comments come amid recent attacks involving school kidnappings, killings of security personnel, and increased bandit activities across Nigeria. He wrote that bandits now storm churches to kill and abduct Christians, while children are kidnapped from schools and even a Brigadier General was shot dead. AY lamented that "every day brings fresh chaos yet the […]

Nigerian Catholic Priest Convicted of Sexual Assault in US

Father Anthony Odiong, a Nigerian Catholic priest, has been found guilty on all counts of sexual assault in a Texas court, exposing him to a possible life sentence in prison. A jury in McLennan County, Waco, Texas, convicted the former priest on three felony counts of sexual assault after several women accused him of sexual and financial abuse. Under Texas law, it is a crime for clergy to engage in sexual activity with individuals who depend on them emotionally as spiritual advisers. Odiong served as a priest at St. Peter Catholic Student Center in Waco, Texas, and at St. Mary's Church of the Assumption in West, Texas, from 2007 to 2012. He later served in Luling, Louisiana, from around 2015 to 2023, where he is now suspended from ministry. The charges relate to alleged actions in Texas more than 15 […]

Dangote Refinery Reduces Petrol Price to N1,250/Litre

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has reduced the gantry price of petrol by N25 to N1,250 per litre from N1,275 per litre, representing a two per cent decrease. The 650,000-barrels-per-day refinery also adjusted the price of diesel, which was reduced to N1,700 per litre. The price cuts come as traders across Nigeria's major markets have been closely monitoring the refinery's pricing decisions, which influence fuel prices nationwide. Petrol at the Dangote Refinery gantry had previously been sold at N1,275 per litre before the latest reduction. The move is expected to ease pressure on motorists and fuel marketers, who have been grappling with fluctuating petroleum product prices in recent months. The reduction marks the latest development in Nigeria's downstream petroleum sector since the removal of the fuel subsidy and the commencement of large-scale refining operations at the Dangote Refinery, Africa's largest single-train refinery.

Biafra Day: Umuahia Shuts Down as Residents Observe Sit-at-Home

Umuahia, the capital of Abia State, came to a complete standstill on May 30 as residents observed a total sit-at-home order to mark Biafra Remembrance Day (Biafra Day). The streets of Umuahia were virtually deserted, with shops, markets, motor parks, banks, and schools all shut down in full compliance with the sit-at-home directive issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in honour of fallen Biafra heroes and heroines. Only occasional movements of tricycles and a few vehicles were sighted on the empty roads. Some youths were seen playing soccer on deserted streets, while other residents gathered at the entrances of their premises, discussing national developments. No security agents were spotted parading the streets, and there were no reported clashes between security forces and IPOB supporters at the time of reporting. The city maintained a gloomy, quiet atmosphere, far from […]

Nigeria at High Risk of Ebola Virus Importation – NCDC

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has declared Nigeria at "high risk" of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) being imported into the country. The NCDC activated emergency response teams following the alert. The agency classified the risk as high due to ongoing Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and a recently reported imported case in Uganda. NCDC Director-General stated that the agency is closely monitoring developments across the region and working with relevant stakeholders, including the Port Health Service of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, to strengthen vigilance and preparedness within Nigeria's public health system. The likelihood of importation to Nigeria is high due to increased air travel between Nigeria and Uganda, especially through Kenya's Nairobi Airport, which serves as a major transit hub connecting the countries. The NCDC confirmed that […]
