FRSC Rolls Out Contactless Biometric System for Instant Driver’s Licence Issuance

Wale busari03 mins

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has launched a contactless biometric system for driver’s licence issuance, marking a major leap toward digitalisation in Nigeria’s vehicle administration. The announcement coincides with the Corps’ 2025 Ember Months Road Safety Campaign, themed “Tech Responsibility for Your Safety: Stop Distracted Driving,” aimed at curbing accidents during the festive period between December 15 and January 15. Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed said the new system will eliminate delays and remove the need for temporary licences. “Our upgraded printing facility now produces an average of 15,000 driver’s licences daily, and we plan to increase this to clear the backlog before the second week of November 2025,” he stated. The contactless system allows on-the-spot licence printing immediately after biometric capture. “Once you are captured, you receive your licence instantly. There are no temporary licences, no weeks-long waits,” Mohammed explained. Developed in collaboration with state governments and other stakeholders, the system integrates driving schools, Vehicle Inspection Offices, and certification processes into a streamlined workflow. Using advanced technology, fingerprints are captured without physical contact, ensuring speed and accuracy. The FRSC has also linked the new system with the National Identification Number (NIN) database to enable seamless identity verification. Deputy Corps Marshal Aliyu Datsama confirmed the system is operational and will be rolled out nationwide, including Lagos. Datsama added that the backlog of 800,000 unprocessed licences has been reduced to 400,000, with a daily production capacity of 40,000 licences. He encouraged Nigerians who have completed the capture process to collect their licences, noting that over 206,000 remain unclaimed. The new initiative reflects the FRSC’s commitment to modernising driver’s licence services while improving road safety across the country.

“Obi of Lagos” Chibuike Azubuike Apologizes to Lagos Government and Oba Over Controversial New Yam Festival

Wale busari02 mins

Chibuike Azubuike, popularly known as the self-styled “Obi of Lagos,” has issued a public apology to the Lagos State Government and the Oba of Lagos following backlash over his planned New Yam Festival in Amuwo Odofin. The festival, which Azubuike had proposed for September 13, 2025, drew criticism from residents who viewed it as an attempt to impose Igbo cultural practices in a state largely rooted in Yoruba traditions. In a statement published in a national newspaper, Azubuike expressed regret for his actions and promised to act responsibly going forward. “I, Mr Chibuike Azubuike, hereby tender this unreserved apology to the Oba of Lagos, the Federal Government of Nigeria, the Government, and the good people of Lagos State over my unguided proposal to hold the New Yam Festival scheduled for Saturday, 13th of September 2025, in the Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos State,” he said. He also clarified that the title “Obi of Lagos” was never self-assumed but was instead a printing error. “The caption therein as ‘OBI OF LAGOS’ was a typographical error from the print man,” he explained. Azubuike emphasized that the festival’s cancellation was voluntary and dismissed claims that it was politically motivated. “Contrary to insinuations that it was politically driven, I am not a politician. However, if I ever decide to join politics in the future, I would align with the ruling All Progressives Congress to contribute to the progress of Lagos State,” he added.

Tinubu’s Aide Urges NBA, LPDC to Sanction Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer Aloy Ejimakor for Joining Protest

Tinubu’s Aide Urges NBA, LPDC to Sanction Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer Aloy Ejimakor for Joining Protest

Wale busari03 mins

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has called on Nigeria’s legal regulatory bodies to sanction Mr. Aloy Ejimakor, one of the lawyers representing detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, for participating in the ongoing #FreeNnamdiKanu protest in Abuja. Onanuga made the statement in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Monday, criticising Ejimakor for joining the demonstration organised by human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore. “I spotted Aloy Ejimakor, one of Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers, among the small group of protesters mobilised in Abuja by Omoyele Sowore,” Onanuga wrote. He argued that Ejimakor’s involvement in the protest undermines legal ethics, noting that Kanu’s case is still before a competent court. “I wonder what Mr. Ejimakor was thinking when he decided to join this shambolic protest. As a lawyer, he should be aware of the principle of sub judice, particularly in relation to the ongoing treason case before the court,” Onanuga said. The presidential aide emphasised that the prosecution had concluded its case, and it was now the responsibility of Kanu’s legal team to focus on preparing a strong defence rather than participating in public demonstrations. “Rather than focusing on preparing a strong case, Mr. Ejimakor has resorted to extra-legal tactics, joining a career anarchist to influence the process. Ejimakor’s action questions his adherence to professional ethics,” he added. Onanuga urged the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) to review Ejimakor’s conduct and consider appropriate sanctions for what he described as “unethical behaviour.”

Sowore Demands Release Of #FreeNnamdiKanuNow Protesters, Warns Of Street Action

Wale busari02 mins

Omoyele Sowore has called for the immediate release of Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, activist Fineboy Kanu, and others detained over the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protests, describing their arrest as “illegal” and alleging they were tortured while in custody. In a post on X early Monday, Sowore addressed the Federal Capital Territory Police Command (@FCT_PoliceNG), warning that if the detainees are not freed, his supporters would take action. “@FCT_PoliceNG is instructed to release Barrister @AloyEjimakor, Fineboy Kanu, and others illegally arrested, tortured, and currently being forced into detention over #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest immediately, or we will mobilize the entire crew now on the street to the FCT command and occupy their office!” he wrote. The statement comes amid ongoing demonstrations across Nigeria demanding the release of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, who faces treason-related charges. Security agencies have recently detained several protesters in Abuja and other cities, citing concerns over public order. Sowore’s post signals a potential escalation, as he threatens to lead protesters to the FCT Police headquarters if the detainees are not released. The situation highlights rising tensions between protest organizers and security forces, both on the streets and online.

Kamal Yalwa01 mins

A peaceful protest calling for the release of detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, reportedly turned chaotic in Abuja as security operatives fired tear gas and shots into the air to disperse demonstrators. The rally, which was led by activist and Sahara Reporters publisher Omoyele Sowore, was held in the Maitama area of the capital. Witnesses said the police moved in shortly after the protesters began chanting “Free Nnamdi Kanu Now,” leading to a stampede as participants fled the scene. Although live rounds were discharged, there is no confirmation that the bullets were aimed directly at protesters, and no casualties have been reported. Meanwhile, more videos emerging from the capital show parts of Abuja under partial lockdown, with heavy traffic congestion and restricted movement following the security clampdown.

Tuoyo Blames Regina Daniels’ Mother For Allowing Daughter’s Teenage Marriage

Wale busari02 mins

Reality TV star Tuoyo has taken to social media to call out Regina Daniels’ mother amid the ongoing marital issues between the actress and her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko. In an Instagram story, Tuoyo questioned how Regina’s mother could have allowed her daughter, then only 17 or 18 years old, to marry a significantly older man and even travel abroad without proper supervision. He wrote: “Nowadays parents mess us up a lot. How will your child travel to another country for like three weeks and you don’t know at all? What is your job? Back in the day, our parents knew where we were and when we’d be back. Imagine how Regina’s mum let her go with a man at 17 or 18 years — a child who doesn’t know anything. Parents need to do better.” Tuoyo’s comments have sparked intense discussion online, with many pointing to the young actress’s early marriage as a key factor in the challenges she faces in her marriage today. The post has also reignited conversations about parental responsibility and the importance of guidance in major life decisions.

Reacting to the incident, Regina’s brother, who goes by @sirsammywest on Instagram, accused the senator of assaulting his sister and allegedly sending thugs after her. He condemned the act and vowed to defend her against further abuse.
