Ogba School Collapses Minutes After Evacuation, Students and Teachers Escape Unharmed

Wale busari02 mins

Students and staff of Yemco Nursery, Primary and Comprehensive College in Ogba, Lagos, narrowly avoided a tragedy on Monday when the four-storey building housing the school collapsed shortly after it was evacuated. The incident occurred around midday at 11 Adudatu Street, behind County Hospital in the Aguda area. Witnesses said the evacuation happened just minutes before the structure gave way, preventing what could have been a catastrophic loss of life. Residents reported that concerns had been raised earlier when wooden planks fell from the roof, causing alarm in the neighbourhood. One resident said an elderly man alerted the school authorities about the building’s instability, prompting the quick evacuation of students and teachers. “It was just about three minutes after the students were evacuated that the building collapsed,” the witness added. Another local, Taiwo Ridwan, described the warning signs leading up to the collapse. “The house started cracking little by little. The window frames had already fallen apart. Soon after, the cement began peeling off. Not long after that, the building just sank,” he said. Officials from the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service quickly secured the scene and restricted access to the area. A portion of the property, used for residential purposes, remained standing beside the collapsed structure. No injuries or fatalities have been reported. The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service is yet to issue an official statement, and attempts to reach the service’s director of public affairs, Margaret Adeseye, were unsuccessful.

Viral Video Shows Suspected Child Soldiers In Borno Forest

Wale busari03 mins

Residents of Borno State are expressing alarm after a video surfaced showing young children, suspected to be terrorist child soldiers, dressed in full military camouflage in a remote forest. The footage, obtained on Monday, shows about 18 children standing in formation, fully kitted in combat uniforms and celebrating in the isolated area. While the exact location has not been confirmed, locals say the language spoken by the children points to the Ngoshe axis in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno South Senatorial District. Junaid Jibril Maiva, Secretary of the Coalition of Borno South APC Youth Group, described the video on Facebook as a “ticking time bomb” and called for immediate government intervention. “These appear to be child soldiers, possibly from the Ngoshe axis, judging by the language they are speaking. If this is not a ticking time bomb, then I don’t know what is,” he wrote, adding that decisive action is needed to prevent further escalation: “The government must act deliberately and decisively, or this war risks consuming us all.” Another social media user, Muhammad Abdulrahman, suggested the children might be hostages, noting that the Nigerian Air Force faces challenges because the armed groups may be holding hundreds of civilians. When contacted, Borno State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Zuwaira Gambo, said many of the children could have been forcibly recruited during recent attacks. “I have not seen the video, but I can say from experience that such children are often victims who are forcefully taken from streets and schools. Following the recent attacks, it’s possible they were made to wear uniforms,” she explained. Gambo also noted that before the latest wave of attacks, the Borno State government had made significant efforts to prevent children from being recruited or exploited by armed groups. 💔💔SAD FOOTAGE: 💔💔Ugly sight of child-T€rror!sts😭 forcefully wearing military uniform of our slain-soldiers😭. They are young, innocent and ignorant of what they are doing. This is the most devastating video that tells a deeply and most painful story of failure on the… pic.twitter.com/Yd6sqc0YeF — PATRIOTIC SOJA ($TSIR-MUNCHAN) (@Pressman2040) March 9, 2026

Zamfara Governor Dauda Lawal, Deputy Officially Defect To APC

Wale busari01 mins

Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal and his deputy have officially left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the All Progressives Congress (APC). The defection was confirmed by Deputy Governor Mani Malam Mummuni, who spoke on behalf of Governor Lawal during a ceremony attended by party members and government officials. Mummuni formally announced that the state’s executive leadership had realigned with the APC. The move comes after weeks of speculation about the Governor’s political direction. The transition was symbolically marked by the removal of the PDP flag from Zamfara Government House, witnessed by Mummuni and members of Lawal’s cabinet. Sources indicate that the switch was motivated by a desire to strengthen cooperation with the federal government in addressing the state’s persistent security challenges, signaling the end of the PDP’s brief return to power in Zamfara.

Sheikh Gumi Urges Government To Negotiate With Armed Groups Instead Of Spending Trillions On Military

Wale busari03 mins

Islamic scholar and security expert Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has once again called on the federal government to shift its strategy on national security, urging officials to negotiate with armed groups rather than relying solely on military force. In a recent interview, Gumi criticized the government’s “kinetic” approach, saying it has consistently failed to restore peace and only intensifies violence. He extended his call to include separatist groups, saying: “Even IPOB, who wants succession, if they lay down arms and negotiate, I will support them. We can’t keep buying guns while society burns.” Gumi argued that the billions of naira spent on military operations often fail to address the root causes of insecurity, noting that some funds end up enriching officers instead of curbing conflict. “If you give the military money, they will go and buy houses abroad. We need to break the cycle of using guns as a solution,” he said. Highlighting the shortcomings of current tactics, the cleric pointed out that eliminating Boko Haram leaders or launching raids on bandits has not weakened these groups, but rather made them more resilient and violent, worsening insecurity across the North-East, North-West, and South-East regions. Gumi also criticized the government’s spending priorities, insisting that trillions spent on defense could instead be invested in essential infrastructure such as roads, electricity, and education. “Electricity is erratic and very expensive. Roads are terrible. Nothing is working here. Spending that money on defense is just wasting resources,” he said, emphasizing that improving social infrastructure could have a longer-lasting impact on national security.

Dangote Refinery Increases Petrol Price To N1,175 Per Litre, Third Hike In A Week

Wale busari02 mins

Fuel prices in Nigeria are set to climb again after Dangote Petroleum Refinery raised the gantry price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to N1,175 per litre, marking the third increase in just one week. The hike, communicated to marketers on Monday, follows a temporary suspension of petrol sales at the refinery on Sunday, which had already sparked fears of rising fuel costs. The latest adjustment raises the price from N995 per litre announced on Friday, representing an 18.1 percent jump within three days. Diesel, or Automotive Gas Oil, also saw a price revision, with the gantry rate now set at N1,620 per litre. A senior refinery official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the increase and explained that it reflects shifting replacement costs and a volatile market. “The market has been extremely volatile, and replacement costs have shifted significantly in recent days. These adjustments reflect prevailing market fundamentals and the cost environment we are currently operating in,” the official said. Data from petroleumprice.ng show that the revised rates have already been updated across depot pricing systems, signaling a new benchmark for downstream marketers. This marks the third petrol price surge in a week, following previous adjustments that pushed gantry prices from N774 to N995 per litre. Retail prices in several states have now surpassed N1,000 per litre, with some stations selling petrol at around N1,200 per litre, adding further pressure on household budgets and the economy.

Rivers Assembly Rejects Four Governor Fubara’s Commissioner Nominees

Wale busari01 mins

The Rivers State House of Assembly has rejected four commissioner nominees sent forward by Governor Siminalayi Fubara. The nominees underwent screening on Monday at the State Assembly in Port Harcourt. Those confirmed for appointment include Mr. Tonye Bellgam, Professor Temple Nwofor, Dr. Peters Nwagor, Mr. Lekue Kenneth, and Sir Amairigha Edward Hart. The four nominees who were not approved are Professor Datonye Alasia, Mrs. Charity Deemua, Tamuno Williams, and Otonye TKD Amachree. The Assembly cited “poor performance” as the reason for Professor Alasia’s rejection. Alasia is the former Chief Medical Advisory Committee (CMAC) of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH). Amachree was turned down following more than 11 petitions from members of his community regarding his involvement in local matters. Mrs. Deemua failed to present her tax clearance documents, while Williams was denied confirmation over allegations of misleading the public about the Assembly’s activities.

Iran Ready To Support Nigeria Against Terrorism, Rejects Israeli Allegations Of Sponsorship

Wale busari03 mins

Iran’s ambassador to Nigeria, Mahdavi Raja, has affirmed Tehran’s willingness to assist Nigeria in its fight against terrorism, responding to claims by Israel that Iran sponsors extremist groups in the region. In an interview with Arise Television, Raja clarified that Islamic groups in Nigeria maintain only spiritual and cultural ties with Iran, not political affiliations. His remarks came after Israel’s ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, alleged on Friday that Iran supports Islamic movements in Nigeria and West Africa as part of a broader effort to spread terror. Freeman cited Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs and claimed that Nigeria had been affected by the country’s actions. The comments followed recent protests by members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), also known as Shi’ites, in several states mourning the death of Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, during US-Israeli strikes in Tehran. Reacting to Freeman’s claims, the IMN Media Forum dismissed the allegations as “possible false-flag terrorism by the Israelis.” Chairman Ammar Rajab described the accusations as “inappropriate and unacceptable,” pointing out Israel’s own record of human rights violations. Raja emphasized that the Shi’ite rallies in Nigeria were peaceful demonstrations of grief and reflected a shared spiritual bond among Muslims. “This does not mean that Iran is defending those groups. It is a moral and spiritual connection because they are Muslims, and we are Muslims,” he said. The ambassador also highlighted Iran’s readiness to collaborate with Nigeria on counterterrorism efforts. “We are ready to lend a helping hand. We know that Nigeria faces threats from Boko Haram, ISWAP, and other groups. We are prepared to share our experience in combating terrorism,” Raja said. He further noted that Iran itself has suffered from terrorism and has consistently condemned attacks worldwide. “We are victims, and we are ready to cooperate with African countries to combat terrorism, drawing from our experience. We condemn terrorist attacks in Nigeria and across Africa,” he added.
