Wale busari02 mins

Armed bandits armed with sophisticated weapons launched a devastating attack on Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga, Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State, on Sunday night, abducting at least 25 schoolgirls. Local source Sulaiman Abdullahi reported that the attackers killed the school’s vice principal, and several unidentified bodies were left on the school premises. “They came in large numbers at night, fired sporadically, and forced their way into the school,” Abdullahi said. By Monday morning, air force jets were seen patrolling the area around 8 a.m., and the school was heavily secured by armed security personnel. CSP Nafiu Abubakar, spokesperson for the Kebbi Police Command, confirmed the attack, saying a tactical team had been deployed to carry out rescue operations for the abducted students. He added that all efforts are being made to ensure the safety of the schoolgirls in captivity, and that Commissioner of Police Bello Sani is committed to putting an end to banditry in the state.

FCT Police Deny Alleged Attack on Lt AM Yarima in Kubwa

Wale busari02 mins

The FCT Police Command has dismissed reports that Lieutenant AM Yarima was trailed by unidentified individuals in two unmarked Hilux vans in Kubwa on Sunday evening. Claims had circulated that the officer performed escape maneuvers to evade the pursuers. Military sources had suggested that Yarima was followed from the NIPCO Station along the Kubwa Motorway to Gado Nasco Road and that an investigation was ongoing. However, FCT Police spokesperson SP Josephine Adeh clarified: “The attention of the FCT Police Command has been drawn to publications circulating on social media alleging an attempted assassination on Lt Ahmed Yerima. “The Command categorically states that no such incident has been reported or recorded anywhere within the Federal Capital Territory. “The public is advised to disregard this false information and refrain from spreading unverified claims that could cause unnecessary panic. “For the safety of all residents, the Command urges vigilance and encourages anyone who observes suspicious activity to report it to the nearest Police Division.”

Taraba Governor Agbu Kefas Set To Dump PDP For APC On November 19

Wale busari02 mins

Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas has confirmed that he is set to leave the Peoples Democratic Party and join the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday, November 19. He spoke with journalists on Saturday, making it clear that his decision is tied to what he described as the future direction of the state. Kefas explained that his move is not just a routine defection but one he believes will shape Taraba’s long-term prospects. He said the event will attract a large crowd and described the upcoming switch as a political realignment he considers necessary. “There is going to be a major shift and alignment on November 19,” he said. “I will officially transition from PDP to APC. It is a movement that has to do with the destiny of Taraba people.” His entry into the APC adds to the wave of governors who have left the PDP this year, joining the likes of Umo Eno in Akwa Ibom, Sheriff Oborevwori in Delta, Peter Mbah in Enugu, and Douye Diri in Bayelsa. Kefas, who was elected in 2023 with 257,926 votes, defeated NNPP’s Muhammad Yahaya and APC’s Emmanuel Bwacha. His defection marks a historic shift for Taraba, a state that has been governed solely by PDP members since the return to democracy in 1999.

JUST IN: Navy Officer Lt. Yarima Survives Alleged Assassination Attempt After Clash With Wike

Wale busari03 mins

Lt. A.M. Yarima, a young Nigerian Navy officer who recently confronted FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, reportedly survived an assassination attempt on Sunday evening. Military sources told Vanguard that Yarima was being tailed by unidentified men dressed in black, driving two unmarked Hilux vans without number plates. The vehicles allegedly followed him from the NIPCO Filling Station off the Line Expressway to Gado Nasco Way. The sources said Yarima noticed the pursuit and carried out a “strategic maneuver,” successfully evading the suspected attackers. The incident occurred around 6:30 p.m., and authorities are investigating the matter with “the seriousness it deserves,” though details have been withheld to avoid compromising the probe. The incident comes shortly after Yarima, while on duty with other security personnel, had a tense confrontation with Wike over a disputed land site in Gaduwa District. The encounter, captured on video, drew public attention and led the Presidency to halt the demolition exercise at the site. Following the confrontation, military veterans criticised Wike for verbally insulting Yarima and opposed any disciplinary action against him. Abiodun Durowaiye-Herberts, spokesman for the Coalition of Retired Veterans, warned that ex-service members would “occupy the office and residence of the FCT Minister” if Yarima were punished. He emphasized that military personnel owe allegiance to Nigeria, not individual officials, and said Wike must apologise for his remarks. “How can a public office holder call an officer ‘a fool’ on camera?” he asked, adding that such behavior undermines national institutions and the dignity of public office. Minister of Defence Mohammad Badaru Abubakar assured that no military personnel acting lawfully would face sanctions over the altercation. “We will always protect officers and our armed forces personnel on lawful duty,” Badaru said during a briefing for the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebrations at the National Defence College. “Any officer on lawful duty will be protected if he is doing his job lawfully and doing it well.” Veterans had previously vowed to mobilize and occupy the FCT Ministry if Yarima faced any form of disciplinary action.

27-Year-Old Arrested for Killing Father, Stabbing Two Sisters in New Orleans

Wale busari03 mins

A 27-year-old man, Chukwuebuka Eweni, has been arrested by New Orleans police after allegedly killing his father and injuring his two sisters in a domestic attack on Pebble Street. Family members told WWL Louisiana that the deceased, Samuel Eweni, was a computer sciences professor at Southern University at New Orleans. The two injured victims were his daughters. Relatives described the attack as sudden and shocking, noting that the suspect had a history of mental illness but had never been violent before. One of the injured sisters has since been released from the hospital, while the other remains admitted but is expected to recover, according to reports. The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) confirmed that Eweni was located in Jefferson Parish and is in custody, undergoing medical evaluation. “Chukwuebuka Eweni has been located in Jefferson Parish. He is currently in law enforcement custody while undergoing medical evaluation at an area facility,” the police said in a statement obtained by PUNCH Online on Sunday. NOPD said the incident occurred around 9:59 pm on November 11, 2025. Officers responded to a report of “an aggravated battery by cutting believed to be domestic in nature.” Upon arrival, they found an unresponsive adult male with a fatal stab wound and two other adult victims with stab injuries. The two surviving victims were rushed to a local hospital for treatment. Detectives confirmed Eweni as the perpetrator and said arrest warrants have been issued for one count of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder. “This suspect is believed to be armed and dangerous,” the statement added. The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office will officially identify the deceased and determine the cause of death following the autopsy and notification of next of kin.

Sheikh Ahmad Gumi Defends Talks With Bandits, Labels Critics “Spineless and Unpatriotic”

Wale busari03 mins

Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has defended his interactions with bandits, responding to calls for his arrest over his comments on national security and banditry. In a statement shared on Facebook on Sunday, Gumi described his critics as “spineless, irresponsible and unpatriotic imbecilic people,” accusing them of politicising his peace efforts rather than focusing on the country’s growing insecurity. He insisted that his engagement with criminal groups is part of a legitimate effort to promote peace. Gumi said the strongest demands for his arrest are driven by “bigotry, ignorance and intolerance for opposing views,” adding that he has committed no offence in his work to negotiate with bandits. “ARREST HIM!!! These are the only words some spineless, irresponsible and unpatriotic imbecilic people can utter,” he wrote. He highlighted a major peace mission he led in January 2021 at Sabon Garin Yadi forest in Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State. Gumi was accompanied by the then Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, representing the Inspector-General of Police. During the mission, over 600 armed bandits and their commanders attended meetings aimed at persuading them to surrender their weapons, embrace dialogue, and halt attacks on communities. “This meeting was part of a peace initiative where we preached to over 600 bandits and their commanders, who agreed to lay down their arms in exchange for security and basic amenities,” he said. The cleric stressed that all negotiations were conducted transparently, with the full knowledge and approval of the authorities, and remained committed to pursuing peaceful solutions to the country’s security challenges.

“I Cry Whenever a Human Being Is Killed” – Akpabio Pledges to Restore Peace in Plateau

Wale busari03 mins

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has vowed to intensify efforts to restore peace in Plateau State, saying the federal government is committed to addressing insecurity and that no foreign intervention can solve Nigeria’s crises. Speaking on Saturday at the Jos Polo Field during the formal reception of political defectors into the All Progressives Congress (APC), Akpabio called on Nigerians to take personal responsibility for promoting peace. He emphasized that President Bola Tinubu is focused on tackling insecurity across Plateau and the entire country. “We are calling on God the Almighty to help us at the centre to bring peace to Plateau. Anybody that will rule Plateau must be committed to peace. This is the only party that cares for you,” Akpabio said. He stressed that peace must come from within the country, adding: “It is not people outside that will come and give you peace. It is we that must bring peace. We must live in peace with one another. Nigeria must have peace for progress to come.” Expressing deep sorrow over the loss of lives in the state, Akpabio said, “I cry whenever I hear the killing of a human being, whether a child or an adult. This problem we are having now did not start today; so many people have died in Plateau. Nigeria is crying out. A lot of blood has been shed, and we are not happy. The President of Nigeria is equally not happy.” He urged residents to support President Tinubu and the APC, insisting that such cooperation would help bring stability and promote development in Plateau State.
