Wale busari02 mins

The Lagos State Government on Tuesday arrested 20 street beggars during enforcement operations in the Ikosi Ketu and Mile 12 areas. State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, said the operation is part of the government’s commitment to restoring order and ensuring public spaces are safe and properly used. According to Wahab, KAI operatives carried out the sweep across Ketu, Mile 12, Ikosi Road, and the 7UP corridor. “The operation, which led to the arrest of twenty individuals involved in street begging and related activities, is part of our ongoing mop-up exercise aimed at curbing environmental violations, protecting the public, and preventing activities that disrupt traffic, safety, and sanitation,” he said on X. He added that those apprehended have been handed over to relevant authorities for profiling and further action, while the ministry continues to collaborate with social welfare agencies to provide rehabilitation where needed. “We will maintain strict enforcement of environmental laws across the state, and we urge residents to report locations where such activities persist. Our goal is to keep Lagos clean, orderly, and safe for everyone,” Wahab said. The operation follows previous crackdowns on street begging, including a November exercise in Ikosi Ketu and Mile 12, where 15 street beggars were arrested.

Anti-Tinubu Post: Sowore Granted Bail On Self-Recognition, Warned Against Mocking Tinubu

Wale busari02 mins

Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court on Tuesday granted activist Omoyele Sowore bail on self-recognition. The judge cautioned Sowore against making any statements that could incite the public against President Bola Tinubu. Sowore was arraigned by the Department of State Services (DSS) on a five-count charge related to alleged cybercrime. The charges accuse the Sahara Reporters publisher of making derogatory remarks about President Tinubu on his social media platforms. The convener of the #RevolutionNow movement pleaded not guilty to all counts after they were read to him. Earlier in the proceedings, Sowore’s lawyer, Marshall Abubakar, filed a motion challenging the competence of the case and contending that the court lacked jurisdiction. The prosecution opposed the motion, noting that they had just been served with the processes and required time to respond. Justice Umar held that the jurisdictional objection was not ready for hearing since the prosecution had only received the processes that morning. He directed that the charges be read to the defendant and allowed the prosecution time to file a counter-affidavit. Ruling on the bail application, Justice Umar granted Sowore bail on self-recognition and adjourned the trial to January 19, 2026.

US Congress To Hold Briefing On Attacks Against Christians In Nigeria Tuesday

Wale busari03 mins

The United States House Appropriations Committee will hold a joint congressional briefing on Tuesday to examine the reported persecution of Christians in Nigeria, officials confirmed. US Congressman Riley Moore shared on X that the session will be led by House Appropriations Committee Vice Chair and National Security Subcommittee Chairman Mario Díaz-Balart, with participation from members of the Appropriations, Foreign Affairs, and Financial Services Committees. Representatives from the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, along with other experts, are expected to provide testimony. The briefing is intended to highlight what officials describe as “escalating violence and targeted persecution of Christians in Nigeria.” According to the announcement, the session will gather evidence for a comprehensive report “directed by President Trump on the massacre of Nigerian Christians and the steps Congress can take to support the White House’s efforts to protect vulnerable faith communities worldwide.” Committee officials said the briefing will provide lawmakers with key information on the challenges facing religious minorities. The briefing coincides with strengthened US–Nigeria security cooperation. President Bola Tinubu recently approved Nigeria’s delegation to the new US–Nigeria Joint Working Group, established to implement security agreements from high-level talks in Washington led by National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu. The working group, composed of senior ministers and security officials, aims to enhance counterterrorism operations, intelligence sharing, border security, and coordination on humanitarian and civilian protection issues. The initiative comes amid rising concerns over terrorism, banditry, and attacks targeting Christians in Nigeria, prompting heightened scrutiny and warnings from US authorities about the protection of vulnerable faith communities.

Wale busari02 mins

Contrary to earlier claims that he had regained freedom, the traditional ruler of Bayangan in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, Oba Ojibara of Bayangan, remains in the custody of bandits. The monarch was abducted on Saturday around 9:30 a.m., alongside 12 other residents. Security sources who spoke in Ilorin on Tuesday dismissed reports of his release, noting that neither the DSS nor the police is currently involved in any confirmed rescue operation. Sources monitoring the situation revealed that as of December 2, 2025, a total of 13 victims — including the monarch and three women — are still being held in the bandits’ hideouts. The abductors have reportedly carried out attacks across Bayangan, Ilala, Memudu, Adanla, Agbeku, and Idera within the last five days. The captives are said to be pleading for negotiations, drawing attention to the Eruku case as a precedent for resolving the situation. Meanwhile, the bandits are demanding between ₦100 million and ₦150 million for each hostage.

JUST IN: Adebayo Adedamola Secures PDP Governorship Ticket For Osun 2026 Election

Wale busari02 mins

Adebayo Adedamola has emerged as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for the 2026 Osun State election after a decisive primary in Osogbo on Tuesday. Adedamola received 919 out of 957 votes cast, while 20 votes were declared void. PDP primary chairman Humphrey Abba announced the result, saying, “One of the aspirants withdrew. The candidate that got the remaining votes is Adebayo Adedamola with 919 votes and stands elected and returned.” Despite having resigned from the party, Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke’s name appeared on the ballot. Sunday Solarin, Secretary of the primary committee, noted that votes cast for Adeleke would be “wasted,” urging delegates to follow instructions during the voting process. The exercise began after delegate accreditation ended at 11:35 a.m. INEC officials and a PDP committee led by Abba supervised the primary, while security personnel from the DSS, police, and NSCDC maintained order at the venue. Adeleke had formally resigned from the PDP on November 4, 2025, citing persistent crises in the party’s national leadership. His resignation letter, addressed to PDP Ward 2 Chairman Sagba Abogunde, expressed gratitude for the opportunities he received as senator and governor under the party. The governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, confirmed his resignation. Osun PDP Chairman Sunday Bisi had earlier explained that internal party disputes delayed the governorship primary originally scheduled for December 2. INEC’s timetable allows political parties until December 15 to submit the names of their candidates for the August 8, 2026 election, meaning changes could still occur if the party resolves its leadership issues.
