Russia says nuclear weapons are key to preventing global war

Russia has said nuclear weapons remain the main shield against a possible global war. The comment came from the Kremlin amid growing concerns about global insecurity and a new arms race. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the world’s security system is weakening and that nuclear deterrence is now the only thing preventing a wider war. Speaking in Moscow at a foreign policy forum, Peskov said the current international situation is becoming more unstable. He said nuclear weapons are still the strongest guarantee against a global conflict, even though they do not stop regional wars. His remarks come as tension remains high between Russia and the West. The last nuclear arms control treaty between Russia and the United States expired in February, leaving no replacement agreement in place. Russia has repeatedly defended its nuclear policy as a way to protect national […]

Amotekun funding and welfare challenges threaten South West Nigeria regional security outfit

Amotekun, the regional security outfit for South West Nigeria, is facing serious challenges that threaten its ability to maintain security in the region. Five years after its establishment, the organization is struggling with funding constraints, inadequate equipment, poor welfare conditions, and weak coordination among the six South Western states. Security experts have identified legal limitations as one of Amotekun's biggest operational challenges. Unlike the police and military, Amotekun operatives are barred from carrying certain weapons and face restrictions on access to critical resources. The outfit was founded on January 9, 2020, in Ibadan, Oyo State, as the first regional security initiative initiated by a geopolitical zone in Nigeria. The Western Nigeria Security Network, codenamed Operation Amotekun, which means Leopard or Cheetah in Yoruba, covers all six states of South Western Nigeria but the Federal Government declared it an illegal operation […]

Supreme Court Upholds Death by Hanging for Kidnapper

The Supreme Court of Nigeria has upheld a death sentence by hanging for a kidnapper convicted of kidnapping and murder in a landmark ruling that reaffirms the harsh penalty for the capital offence. The court dismissed the kidnapper's appeal against the conviction and sentence, stating that the prosecution had established a solid case against the defendant beyond reasonable doubt and that the appeal lacked merit. In its judgment, the Supreme Court confirmed that kidnapping combined with murder constitutes a capital offence under Nigeria's criminal law, and the sentence of death by hanging remains in full effect. The ruling comes at a time when kidnapping has become a major security challenge in several parts of Nigeria, with the judiciary increasingly taking a hard stance against perpetrators of the crime. The Supreme Court's decision aligns with previous rulings in similar cases, including […]

State Police: Joint Lawmakers–Executive Panel Concludes Work

World Cup Fans Barred from Bringing Water Bottles into Stadia

FIFA has banned fans from bringing refillable water bottles into World Cup 2026 venues in a last-minute policy change that will force thirsty supporters to pay for bottled water inside the stadiums. As recently as last month, FIFA's official stadium code of conduct included a clause which read: "For the avoidance of doubt, empty, transparent, reusable plastic bottles, up to 1 liter in capacity, may be brought into the Stadium." However, those guidelines have now been tweaked to explicitly ban refillable bottles. The updated stadium code of conduct now states: "For the avoidance of doubt, reusable water bottles may not be brought into the stadium." Other bottle types are similarly banned due to the potential risk of injury if thrown. In a statement to AFP, a FIFA spokesperson said the rule change was taken on safety grounds, noting that several […]
