A 51-year-old man, Emeka Emmanuel Nwangwu, has been remanded by an Enugu State Magistrate Court for the alleged murder of his 19-year-old cousin, Loveth Uloma Nwangwu, in Nsukka Local Government Area. Nwangwu, a member of a local neighbourhood security group, was arraigned on Wednesday after detectives from the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) completed investigations ordered by the Commissioner of Police, Mamman Bitrus Giwa. Police spokesperson Daniel Ndukwe confirmed that the suspect was arrested on December 1, 2025, following an incident in which he allegedly assaulted the deceased, resulting in fatal injuries. “The suspect was apprehended after violently attacking the deceased, leading to injuries that caused her death,” Ndukwe stated. Following the arrest, Commissioner Giwa directed a thorough investigation, which culminated in Nwangwu being charged with a one-count murder. The court subsequently ordered his remand at the Enugu Correctional Centre and instructed that the case file be forwarded to the Ministry of Justice through the Directorate of Public Prosecution for legal review. Giwa also expressed sympathy to the family of the deceased, assuring them that justice was underway. “We extend our condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. The investigation has been concluded, and the suspect has been arraigned and remanded,” he said. The incident has sparked renewed calls for stricter oversight of local security groups and improved community safety measures.

Segun Martins, a suspected stowaway, was arrested at General Tunde Idiagbon International Airport, Ilorin, on Wednesday after attempting to hide in the tyre compartment of an Overland aircraft preparing for takeoff. The incident occurred around 3:02 p.m. when Martins gained unauthorized access to the airside and crawled toward the aircraft as it taxied.

Michael Achimugu, spokesperson for the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), confirmed the incident on his verified X account, stating that ground security personnel intercepted Martins before he could hide fully.

Wale busari02 mins

Fuji music legend Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as K1 De-Ultimate, has submitted his completed royal lineage form to the Fusengbuwa Ruling House as part of his bid for the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland throne. The move comes after the ruling house gave him an ultimatum to provide detailed ancestral information, a prerequisite for confirming his membership in the family. Only verified descendants of the Fusengbuwa line are eligible to participate in the selection process. Abdulateef Owoyemi, chairman of the ruling house and former president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, emphasized that the process is strictly for bona fide family members. Contenders must trace their genealogy back seven generations to ensure that the throne is reserved for legitimate princes. Ayinde had earlier expressed his interest in the stool in a letter dated December 3, 2025, declaring himself a “bonafide son” of the Fusengbuwa family and affirming that his candidacy complies with Ijebu customary law and Ogun State Chieftaincy Laws. The letter went viral on social media shortly after it surfaced. Owoyemi explained that the Olori Omooba of Ijebuland had instructed all aspirants to complete the royal lineage form. Once verified, candidates can proceed to the expression of interest stage. K1 De-Ultimate was granted an extension to submit his form, which will close on December 10. He added that the ruling house welcomes influential figures who will strengthen the throne while ensuring that only rightful members of the Fusengbuwa family are considered, preserving the integrity of the lineage.

President Tinubu Orders Ministers And Senior Officials To Get Clearance Before Police Escorts

Wale busari03 mins

President Bola Tinubu has ordered all ministers and senior government officials to secure his approval before requesting police escorts for official duties. The directive was issued at Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the State House, Abuja. Tinubu said security gaps often arise when officers are reassigned without proper planning and called for tighter coordination among security agencies. “I have told the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), and I expect the Minister of Police Affairs to implement this directive. If you need security due to the nature of your assignment, contact the IGP and obtain my clearance,” he stated. The president also tasked the Minister of Interior with working alongside the IGP and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps to replace officers deployed on special duties. “The minister of interior should ensure police officers on special duties are replaced so citizens are not left exposed,” he added. Tinubu further directed the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and the State Security Service (SSS) to review the country’s security framework and implement necessary adjustments. He emphasized the urgency of the directive given rising security threats across Nigeria. Highlighting the protection of high-risk officials, Tinubu suggested equipping forest guards to strengthen community safety. “The civil defence are armed, and I want to know from the NSA if forest guards should also be armed. This matter must be taken seriously,” he said. On agricultural security, he asked Vice President Kashim Shettima to collaborate with the National Economic Council on reviving grazing reserves and developing ranches to address

Ex-Minister Stella Oduah Arraigned In Abuja Over N2.4 Billion Fraud

Wale busari03 mins

The Federal Government on Wednesday arraigned former Minister of Aviation Stella Oduah in an Abuja High Court over allegations of fraud totaling N2.4 billion. Oduah appeared alongside Gloria Odita, facing a five-count charge involving fraud, obtaining by false pretence, and criminal breach of trust. According to the prosecution, in January 2014, the defendants allegedly conspired to unlawfully obtain N2,469,030,738.90 from the Federal Ministry of Aviation through Broad Waters Resources Nigeria Ltd and Global Offshore Marine Ltd by submitting false claims. The charges allege that Oduah and Odita “agreed among themselves to obtain the sum of Two Billion, Four Hundred and Sixty-Nine Million, Thirty Thousand, Seven Hundred and Thirty-Eight Naira, Nine Kobo (₦2,469,030,738.90) by false pretence,” claiming it was for “Cost of Technical Supervision” and “Security Integrated and Logistics Support Services,” which the prosecution says was untrue. The offences reportedly violate Sections 8(a) and 1(1)(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud Act and carry penalties under Section 1(3). Specifically, the government alleged that on January 13, 2014, the defendants obtained ₦839,780,738.90 by falsely representing it as payment for “Cost of Technical Supervision.” On February 12, 2014, they allegedly obtained ₦1,629,250,000 under the pretext of “Security Integrated and Logistics Support Services.” Counts Four and Five accuse Oduah, as minister at the time, of misappropriating the same funds earmarked for a contract awarded to 1-Sec Security Nigeria Ltd, in breach of Section 311 of the Penal Code. Both defendants pleaded not guilty. Their lawyers, Onyechi Ikpeazu SAN for Oduah and Wale Balogun SAN for Odita, applied for bail. Ikpeazu requested Oduah be granted bail on self-recognition, noting that she voluntarily returned from the United States and had previously been on administrative bail by the EFCC. Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi SAN, who appeared for the prosecution, said the government had no objection to bail but urged the court to set a firm hearing date, noting that the defendants had been served with the proof of evidence since November 27. Justice Hamza Muazu granted both Oduah and Odita bail on self-recognition, directing them to deposit travel documents and seek court permission before traveling. The case was adjourned until February 12, 2026, for further proceedings.

Cross River Assembly Removes Bekwarra LG Chairman Theresa Ushie Over Gross Misconduct

Wale busari02 mins

The Cross River State House of Assembly has officially removed Theresa Ushie, Chairman of Bekwarra Local Government Council, following allegations of gross misconduct. The decision came after the Assembly adopted the report of its Committee on Judiciary and Public Petitions. The matter dates back to June 10, 2025, when eight Bekwarra councillors petitioned the Assembly, accusing Ushie of corruption, abuse of office, arbitrary suspension of councillors’ salaries, and violations of due process in council administration. In response, the Assembly initially suspended Ushie for 90 days and appointed Vice Chairman Egbung Odama as acting chairman while a full investigation was conducted. Ushie’s removal was confirmed during Wednesday’s plenary in Calabar, with 19 of the 25 lawmakers voting in favor of the committee’s recommendations, ending months of inquiry. The committee chairman explained that their investigations, which included consultations with the petitioners, Ushie, and community stakeholders in Abuochiche, substantiated the allegations. “After meeting with all parties and reviewing evidence, the committee found the allegations weighty and clearly established. The conduct of the chairman fell below the expectations of her office, and testimonies received during our visit reinforced the concerns raised,” he said.

Wale busari02 mins

Tension has escalated online after kidnappers took over the Facebook account of the late Venerable Edwin Achi and uploaded photos of his wife and daughter, who remain in captivity. The Anglican priest was abducted with his family on October 28 from their Kaduna home. Despite his family paying the ransom demanded, the abductors later directed them to pick up his decomposing body, confirming his death after nearly a month in captivity. In a shocking development, new images of his wife and daughter appeared on his Facebook page on Tuesday, allegedly posted by the kidnappers themselves. The update has sparked widespread panic, with many Nigerians expressing fear over the condition of the surviving family members. The disturbing posts have prompted renewed calls for decisive action from security agencies, with citizens urging authorities to rescue the hostages before it is too late. As of now, there is no official word on the efforts to secure their release. One concerned user wrote, “This is terrifying. May God protect the wife and daughter.” Another added, “Using his own Facebook page to taunt the public?
