Kidnapped Father Of Former Ebonyi Deputy Governor Found Dead As Police Arrest Seven Suspects

Wale busari02 mins

The Ebonyi State Police Command has confirmed the killing of a traditional ruler, Eze Francis Igwe, who was abducted while heading to church. The late monarch is the father of the immediate past Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State. The abduction happened in Ndufu-Alike, a community in Ikwo Local Government Area that also hosts Alex Ekwueme Federal University. Police spokesperson in the state, SP Joshua Ukandu, disclosed in a statement that the monarch was kidnapped on March 1, prompting a swift deployment of operatives to rescue him. According to the statement, investigations led to the arrest of two principal suspects believed to be part of the kidnapping gang. During questioning, the suspects reportedly admitted that the monarch was murdered on March 2. Ukandu said the suspects later guided officers to their hideout where the monarch’s body was found and recovered. Further operations by the police resulted in a gunfight with other members of the criminal group. One of the suspects was killed during the exchange, while seven others were arrested. Some members of the gang managed to escape. Police also recovered a locally made pistol from the suspects, while a manhunt has been launched to capture the fleeing gang members. Ikwo Local Government Area has experienced several violent incidents in recent times, with some observers linking the attacks to rising political tensions ahead of the 2027 general elections.

EFCC Receives Petition Against Mele Kyari Promises Swift Investigation

Senate Summons Mele Kyari, Former NNPCL Officials Over Alleged Missing N210 Trillion

Wale busari05 mins

Former Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, has been summoned by the Senate Committee on Public Accounts over alleged financial irregularities amounting to about N210 trillion. The committee’s chairman, Senator Ahmed Wadada, announced the decision during a press conference in Abuja, stating that Kyari and members of his former management team are required to explain several issues discovered in the company’s audited financial records between 2017 and 2023. According to Wadada, the investigation began in May 2025 after lawmakers reviewed reports from the Office of the Auditor-General for the Federation covering the 2019 and 2020 financial years. He said the committee later expanded its probe to include NNPCL’s audited accounts prepared by external auditors, as well as financial documents from the former National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS), now called NNPCL Upstream Investment Limited. The lawmaker explained that the panel raised 19 queries to the company seeking clarification on inconsistencies found in the financial statements. However, the responses provided by NNPCL were described as inadequate. One of the major concerns raised by the committee was the N103 trillion listed as accrued expenses in the company’s 2022 audited accounts. The expenses were said to include retention fees, legal costs and audit charges, but the accounts did not provide a clear breakdown of the figures. Although the company explained that the amount represented cumulative spending by joint venture partners under the joint venture cash call arrangement, the committee rejected the claim, noting that the cash call system had been abolished in 2016 and became effective from January 2017. The panel also questioned another N107 trillion recorded as sundry receivables as of December 2023. According to the committee, NNPCL claimed that some of the funds were owed by defunct banks and other organisations but failed to provide detailed records identifying the institutions involved. Lawmakers further observed a possible duplication of subsidy deductions worth N3.8 trillion, which they said appeared to have been removed both from crude oil revenues recorded by NAPIMS and from petroleum product proceeds in NNPC’s accounts. Additional concerns were raised over about N5 trillion listed as direct production costs between 2017 and 2021, despite the fact that neither NNPC nor NAPIMS directly produces crude oil. The committee also described as excessive the N5.9 billion reportedly spent on incorporation expenses during the transition from NNPC to NNPCL. Following the discoveries, the committee directed the company to account for the combined N210 trillion linked to unexplained accrued expenses and receivables. It also asked that any production costs wrongly charged to crude oil revenue within the period under review be refunded. In addition to Kyari, the committee has invited former Chief Financial Officer Umar Ajiya and the former Group General Manager of NAPIMS, Bala Wunti, to appear before it as part of the ongoing investigation.

Trump Insists Iran Must Surrender Unconditionally Before Any Deal With U.S.

Wale busari04 mins

United States President Donald Trump has declared that the United States will not enter into any agreement with Iran unless the country agrees to what he described as an “unconditional surrender.” The American leader made this known in a post on Truth Social on Friday, insisting that negotiations with Tehran would only happen after the current leadership structure is completely removed. According to Trump, once Iran surrenders and a new leadership that is widely acceptable emerges, the United States and its allies would help rebuild the country and restore its economy. “The U.S. will sign no deal with Iran except one that involves unconditional surrender,” he stated. Trump added that after surrender and “the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.” He further expressed optimism about the country’s future, writing: “IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. ‘MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).’” The U.S. president has repeatedly suggested that he would like to see a new leadership in Iran that can promote peace and stability within the country. Meanwhile, Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz issued a warning that any future Iranian supreme leader who continues to threaten Israel, the United States, or their allies could become a target. “If he continues to threaten Israel, the U.S. and others, he will be a target for elimination,” Katz said. On the other hand, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian indicated that diplomatic efforts might be underway, revealing that some countries have begun mediation efforts, although he did not mention their names. “Let’s be clear: we are committed to lasting peace in the region yet we have no hesitation in defending our nation’s dignity & sovereignty,” Pezeshkian wrote. “Mediation should address those who underestimated the Iranian people and ignited this conflict.” The remarks come as hostilities continue to escalate across the region. Israeli warplanes reportedly carried out strikes in Beirut and Tehran on Friday, while Iran launched fresh retaliatory attacks targeting Israel and Gulf nations hosting U.S. military forces. Casualties from the ongoing conflict continue to rise, with reports indicating that at least 1,230 people have died in Iran, more than 120 in Lebanon, and around a dozen in Israel. Six U.S. troops have also been reported killed.

Wale busari02 mins

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has extended the registration deadline for school candidates for the 2026 Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination (CB-WASSCE) by one day. In a brief post on its official X account on Friday, WAEC announced that registration will now close on Friday, March 13, 2026. The extension follows reports of technical difficulties and high registration demand, issues the council had highlighted in previous updates since January. WAEC has assured that the 2026 CB-WASSCE will be accessible to all students across Nigeria, regardless of their location. The council stressed that the new computer-based format is designed to prevent any candidate from being left out due to limited access to technology or inadequate infrastructure. Measures are being put in place to ensure inclusivity, giving students from rural and underserved communities the same opportunities as those in urban areas. Dr. Amos Dangut, Head of WAEC’s National Office, reiterated this commitment during a sensitization session in Abuja with members of the National Assembly Committees on Education. The session was aimed at educating lawmakers about the CB-WASSCE process and enlisting their support in addressing potential implementation challenges.
