Wale busari02 mins

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has postponed his scheduled trips to Johannesburg, South Africa, and Luanda, Angola, to attend the 20th G20 Summit and the 7th AU-EU Summit, citing growing security concerns across the country. The decision follows the kidnapping of schoolgirls in Kebbi State and Monday’s attack on worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku, Kwara State. In a statement, his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the President will await further security briefings before traveling. In response to a request from the Governor of Kwara State, President Tinubu has ordered the deployment of additional military and police personnel to Eruku and the wider Ekiti Local Government Area. He has also directed security agencies to pursue the bandits responsible for the attack. “The President was scheduled to leave Abuja today for the summits, but disturbed by the recent security breaches, he has suspended his departure,” Onanuga said. The President is now awaiting reports from Vice President Kashim Shettima, who visited Kebbi on his behalf, as well as updates from the police and the Department of State Services regarding the attacks. President Tinubu reiterated his directive to security agencies to do everything possible to rescue the 24 abducted schoolgirls and ensure their safe return.

The Federal Government has declared full support for the proposed Youth Quota in Parliament Bill, which seeks to reserve 30 percent of parliamentary seats for young Nigerians aged 25 to 35, including women and persons with disabilities. The Minister of Youth Development, Comrade Olawande Ayodele, announced the government’s backing while joining ongoing advocacy efforts for the bill. He affirmed his commitment to collaborate with campaigners, amplify the initiative, and ensure that young people’s voices are adequately represented in the nation’s constitution. The bill, sponsored by Hon. Olamijuwonlo Alao Akala, Chairman of the House Committee on Youth, passed its first reading in the National Assembly on November 12. The minister noted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has already set a strong precedent for youth inclusion by appointing more young Nigerians into government roles than any previous administration. “The present administration has reassured that quota for youth is part of its policy agenda,” he said, expressing confidence in the bill’s successful passage. He commended the advocacy team led by Hon. Blessing Oyefeso, President of Nigeria Youths in Politics and Team Lead for the Youth Quota in Parliament Bill Advocacy, praising their dedication to advancing youth participation in governance.

Soldiers Injured As Terrorists Ambush Troops On Kebbi Schoolgirls Rescue Mission

Wale busari02 mins

Several Nigerian soldiers sustained injuries after terrorists ambushed troops on a mission to rescue schoolgirls abducted in Kebbi State. The attack occurred just a day after the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, ordered Operation Fasan Yamma troops to intensify efforts against the bandits responsible for abducting students from Government Girls Secondary School, Maga. “You must continue day and night fighting. We must find these children,” Shaibu instructed, stressing that commanders should act on intelligence for precise, professional operations. “Once you receive information on something like this, act professionally and decisively. This is not just about our image; it is about doing our job properly,” he added. The COAS directed troops to maintain 24-hour operations until all abducted students are safely rescued and reunited with their families. Following these orders, soldiers mobilized for the rescue mission but were ambushed by terrorists. Video footage obtained by DAILY POST shows several injured soldiers lying helplessly without immediate medical attention. One of the wounded soldiers, speaking in Hausa, said: “Musa has a bullet lodged in his leg. His condition is very bad.” The operational vehicle used during the mission was also riddled with bullet holes during the attack.

Wale busari02 mins

Vice President Kashim Shettima is scheduled to visit Kebbi State on Wednesday to console the state government and reassure parents and guardians of the recently abducted schoolgirls. The visit, directed by President Bola Tinubu, underscores the federal government’s commitment to ensuring the swift and safe return of the students. During his visit, Shettima will meet with Governor Mohammed Nasir Idris and local officials to assess the situation and coordinate with security agencies working on the rescue operations. President Tinubu, in a statement, expressed deep sorrow over the abduction and also extended condolences to the Nigerian military following the deaths of soldiers, including Brigadier General Musa Uba, who were killed while combating insurgents in Borno State. Emphasizing the importance of community cooperation in tackling insecurity, Tinubu urged residents, particularly in high-risk areas, to provide information that can assist the military, police, and Department of State Services (DSS) in securing communities. “Our security forces cannot succeed in protecting us if the people don’t cooperate and share information that will help them keep our communities safe. I urge community leaders and compatriots across the country, especially those in the theatres of operations, to share useful information. Your cooperation is crucial in our fight against these security challenges,” the President said. Shettima’s visit aims to offer reassurance to families, strengthen coordination between federal and state authorities, and support ongoing efforts to rescue the abducted schoolgirls.

President Bola Tinubu has expressed profound grief over the recent killing of Nigerian Army personnel and the abduction of schoolgirls in Kebbi State. The President’s remarks were released Tuesday through his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga. The attacks, carried out by ISWAP terrorists, resulted in the deaths of several soldiers, including Brigadier General Musa Uba. “As the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, I am deeply depressed by the loss of our soldiers and officers on active duty. May God comfort the families of Brigadier General Musa Uba and other fallen heroes,” Tinubu said, extending condolences to the military and the bereaved families.

EFCC Drags Lawyer to Court for False Information

Wale busari03 mins

The Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has arraigned a lawyer, Steve Adamu before Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court, sitting in Kaduna State on a one-count charge of false information peddling. The charge reads: “That you Barrister Steve Adamu (m) on or about the 15th day of September, 2022 in Kaduna, Kaduna State, within the jurisdiction of the Honourable Court, committed an offence to wit: wilfully gave false information to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, which information was used to carry out investigation on your complaint to the Commission, which information you knew to be false and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 16(1) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (Establishment) Act, 2004 and punishable under Section 16(2) of the same Act. He pleaded “not guilty”, prompting the prosecution counsel, M.E. Eimonye to ask the court for a trial date, while the defence counsel urged the court to grant the defendant bail. Justice Khobo, thereafter, ordered for the remand of the defendant in the Nigerian Correctional Centre and adjourned the matter till December 20, 2025 for hearing of the bail application. The defendant’s road to the dock began with his petition to the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the EFCC, in which he had alleged that his landlord had no visible means of livelihood, yet continually acquired costly automobiles and developed landed properties, all about town. However, investigations by the Commission proved the allegations to be false and malicious, prompting his arrest and prosecution.

Akpabio Says There’s No Society Without Crime As Senate Debates Rising Violence In Nigeria

Wale busari02 mins

Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Tuesday addressed growing concerns over Nigeria’s escalating violence, urging lawmakers and citizens to remain calm amid worsening insecurity. His comments came during a tense Senate plenary focused on recent deadly incidents, including the killing of Brigadier-General Uba Musa in Borno State, the abduction of 25 schoolgirls in Kebbi, and the murder of a school vice principal — all occurring within 24 hours. During the session, senators voiced frustration over the deteriorating security situation, but Akpabio cautioned against despair, highlighting the challenges faced by Nigeria’s stretched security forces. “We sympathise deeply with the families affected, but we must remember that Nigeria is a very large country,” he said. He noted the practical limits facing security agencies, emphasizing that even during elections, it is impossible to deploy a policeman to every polling unit. “Our security agencies are overstretched and often find themselves in places they shouldn’t ordinarily be,” Akpabio added. The Senate President also pointed out that crime is a global issue, not unique to Nigeria. “There is no society without crime. Even the almighty America records crime daily. But we must continue to do our best to minimise it,” he stated. Nigeria has seen a surge in attacks by insurgents, bandits, and other armed groups in recent months, prompting calls from critics for urgent government action to curb the rising violence before it spirals further out of control.
