Wale busari03 mins

The Eastern South Regional Police Command in Ghana has apprehended a suspect linked to the killing of Federal Road Safety Corps officer Lasisi Funmilayo Oluwamayokun and her teenage daughter, Sewa Lasisi. The arrest was confirmed on Sunday, November 23, during a press briefing by Regional Commander George Ohene-Boadi. The suspect, identified as Victor Benjamin Fejemirokum, was found hiding at a friend’s residence in Akyem Wenchi, a suburb of Akwatia. Ohene-Boadi explained that intelligence reports indicated the suspect had fled Nigeria to evade arrest. “A Nigerian man suspected of murdering a woman and her daughter in Nigeria fled to Ghana to avoid Nigerian authorities,” he said. The commander noted that the arrest was prompted by a viral video alleging the suspect had abducted and killed the FRSC officer and her daughter in Abeokuta, Ogun State. “Upon learning of his location, our intelligence-led operation swiftly apprehended him,” Ohene-Boadi added. Ghanaian authorities confirmed that arrangements are ongoing to repatriate the suspect to Nigeria. “He is currently in police custody, and steps are being taken to hand him over to Nigerian authorities,” the regional commander said. Lasisi Oluwamayokun, 39, and her daughter were reported missing on November 2 after leaving their home in Obasanjo Hilltop Estate, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta. Lasisi was a Superintendent Route Commander, responsible for supervising multiple routes and coordinating strategic operations for the FRSC. Their mutilated bodies were later recovered at a suspected herbalist’s den in Osun State. While several suspects, including the herbalist, were arrested, the main suspect remained at large until his capture in Ghana. Ogun State Police Commissioner Lanre Ogunlowo stated that the investigation has been handed over to the Osun State Command, with Ogun State police providing necessary support.

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour Calls On FG To License Firearms Amid Rising Insecurity

Wale busari02 mins

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the 2023 Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos State, has urged the Federal Government to consider allowing citizens to own firearms if it cannot guarantee their safety. Speaking on Monday during an interview on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, Rhodes-Vivour highlighted the surge in kidnappings and general insecurity across the country. “This is not just about the north. Over the weekend, we witnessed abductions in Kwara and Ogun States. The breakdown of institutions and loss of public trust make people lose faith in the government,” he said. He added, “I am raising this because of the government’s failure. If it cannot act decisively, then it should start considering licensing firearms for citizens.” Rhodes-Vivour warned that repeated lapses in security could force Nigerians to take matters into their own hands and cautioned that short-term government responses would not stop people from seeking long-term self-protection. He described leaving citizens defenseless amid escalating threats as “wickedness,” emphasizing the government’s responsibility to protect its people.

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Returns To Senate After Serving Six-Month Suspension

Federal High Court Adjourns Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Cybercrime Trial to February 2026

Wale busari03 mins

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday adjourned the trial of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for alleged cybercrime to February 4, 2026. The hearing, which was scheduled for Monday before Justice Mohammed Umar, could not proceed due to the judge’s absence. The trial, initially set to begin on February 4, 2025, had previously faced multiple delays. According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), proceedings were also stalled on October 21 following a protest led by Mr. Omoyele Sowore demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu, who was recently convicted on terrorism charges. Akpoti-Uduaghan was arraigned on June 30 on a six-count charge filed by the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation (DPPF), Mohammed Abubakar, and granted bail. Justice Umar initially adjourned the trial to September 22, 2025, for the commencement of proceedings. However, on the last scheduled date, the defence raised a preliminary objection just as the prosecution was about to call its first witness. Defence counsel, Ehiogie West-Idahosa, SAN, argued that the objection, which challenges the court’s jurisdiction, must be resolved before the trial could proceed. He contended that the case involves an abuse of prosecutorial powers by the Attorney General of the Federation and that the defence had not been served with statements of the prosecution’s witnesses. Although the prosecution, led by David Kaswe, argued against halting the trial, Justice Umar ruled that the objection must first be addressed before any further steps could be taken. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan faces charges under the Cybercrimes Prohibition, Prevention, etc. (Amendment) Act 2024. She is accused of transmitting false and injurious information electronically to malign, incite, and endanger lives and public order. The allegations stem from statements she reportedly made on April 4 in Ihima, Kogi, and in a television interview, claiming that Senate President Godswill Akpabio instructed former Governor Yahaya Bello to have her killed.

US, Nigeria Agrees To Boost Security Collaboration With Intelligence Sharing And Military Support

Wale busari03 mins

The United States and the Federal Government of Nigeria have agreed to strengthen security cooperation, with commitments to expand intelligence sharing and provide military support for nationwide counter-terrorism and counter-extremism operations. The agreement follows a series of high-level meetings in Washington last week between senior Nigerian officials and key US Government agencies, aimed at deepening defence ties and exploring new areas of collaboration. The Nigerian delegation, led by National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, met with officials from the US Congress, the White House Faith Office, the State Department, the National Security Council, and the Department of Defense. Other members included Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi, Chief of Defence Staff General Olufemi Oluyede, Chief of Defence Intelligence Lieutenant General Emmanuel Undiandeye, Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, and representatives from the Office of the National Security Adviser. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, said the meetings provided an opportunity to address misconceptions about Nigeria’s security situation, including claims of genocide, and to emphasize that violence affects multiple religious and ethnic communities. “The discussions allowed us to correct misconceptions, foster a solution-driven partnership with the United States, reinforce mutual trust, and advance a coordinated approach to protecting vulnerable communities, particularly in the Middle Belt,” Onanuga said. He added that the US has expressed willingness to provide complementary support, including humanitarian aid for affected populations and technical assistance to enhance early-warning systems. Both countries have agreed to implement a non-binding cooperation framework immediately and to establish a Joint Working Group to coordinate actions in priority areas. The Nigerian government also reiterated its commitment to improving civilian protection and addressing concerns around religious freedom and security. “The Federal Government recognizes the heightened sensitivities surrounding religious freedom and security and assures citizens that firm, urgent, and coordinated measures are being taken to safeguard the nation,” Onanuga concluded.

Wale busari02 mins

A man identified as Dan Gaske Mai Masara has been reportedly ki-lled by his wife only three days after they got married, leaving residents of Tashar Aibo in Jibia Local Government, Katsina State, in shock. The incident was said to have taken place on Sunday afternoon. Community members revealed that Dan Gaske was asleep when his wife allegedly attacked him, stabbing him in the neck with a knife. An associate of the deceased, Mohammad Jibo, shared the tragic development online, using it as a cautionary message to others. He wrote: If you are in an unhealthy relationship or marriage, quit it now. If you allow anything to happen to you, you caused it yourself and nothing might happen thereafter! This man married this woman on 18/11/2025 and she used a knife to slaughter him on 23/11/2025 when he was sleeping in the afternoon as posted by his associate. The best we can do now is to pray for his departed soul to find Allah’s mercy. A word is said to be enough for the wise. Ours is to always give advice not because we know better but because we care. The circumstances that led to the attack remain unclear, and authorities have not yet made any official comments on the matter.

Paystack Sacks Co-founder Ezra Olubi Before Sexual Harassment Investigation Concludes

Wale busari02 mins

Paystack has terminated the contract of its Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Ezra Olubi, following allegations that he engaged in sexual relations with a junior employee. Olubi confirmed his dismissal on Saturday, stating that the decision was made before the company completed its investigation into claims of sexual harassment against him. The controversy began in mid-November when a social media post accused Olubi of abusive behavior, leading users to uncover explicit tweets from earlier in his career. In response, Paystack suspended Olubi and initiated a formal investigation, announcing that it had established a review process and intended to bring in an independent investigator. Olubi said he was not given the opportunity to respond to the allegations prior to his termination and argued that the decision may have violated both the terms of his suspension and the company’s internal policies. “My legal team is now reviewing the process that led to my purported termination, including its consistency with internal policies. They will take the steps they consider appropriate, and I will not be commenting further on this matter at this time,” he said.
