Wale busari02 mins

Vice President Kashim Shettima is scheduled to visit Kebbi State on Wednesday to console the state government and reassure parents and guardians of the recently abducted schoolgirls. The visit, directed by President Bola Tinubu, underscores the federal government’s commitment to ensuring the swift and safe return of the students. During his visit, Shettima will meet with Governor Mohammed Nasir Idris and local officials to assess the situation and coordinate with security agencies working on the rescue operations. President Tinubu, in a statement, expressed deep sorrow over the abduction and also extended condolences to the Nigerian military following the deaths of soldiers, including Brigadier General Musa Uba, who were killed while combating insurgents in Borno State. Emphasizing the importance of community cooperation in tackling insecurity, Tinubu urged residents, particularly in high-risk areas, to provide information that can assist the military, police, and Department of State Services (DSS) in securing communities. “Our security forces cannot succeed in protecting us if the people don’t cooperate and share information that will help them keep our communities safe. I urge community leaders and compatriots across the country, especially those in the theatres of operations, to share useful information. Your cooperation is crucial in our fight against these security challenges,” the President said. Shettima’s visit aims to offer reassurance to families, strengthen coordination between federal and state authorities, and support ongoing efforts to rescue the abducted schoolgirls.

“I’m Depressed Over Rising Killings” – Tinubu

Wale busari03 mins

President Bola Tinubu has expressed profound grief over the recent killing of Nigerian Army personnel and the abduction of schoolgirls in Kebbi State. The President’s remarks were released Tuesday through his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga. The attacks, carried out by ISWAP terrorists, resulted in the deaths of several soldiers, including Brigadier General Musa Uba. “As the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, I am deeply depressed by the loss of our soldiers and officers on active duty. May God comfort the families of Brigadier General Musa Uba and other fallen heroes,” Tinubu said, extending condolences to the military and the bereaved families. He also condemned the disruption of education caused by the abduction of schoolgirls. “I am pained that heartless terrorists have disrupted the education of innocent students. I have directed security agencies to act swiftly to ensure their safe return to Kebbi State,” he added. The President confirmed that security forces have been ordered to intensify efforts to rescue the abducted students. He also instructed Vice President Kashim Shettima to visit Kebbi to console the state government and parents of the affected children. Tinubu called on community leaders and residents in vulnerable areas to provide information that could support the military, police, and DSS in ongoing operations. Kebbi State Governor Mohammed Idris revealed that the attack occurred despite prior intelligence from the DSS warning of a potential raid on Government Girls’ Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga. He hinted at sabotage by an unnamed security agency and announced the formation of a special panel to investigate the incident.

EFCC Drags Lawyer to Court for False Information

Wale busari03 mins

The Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has arraigned a lawyer, Steve Adamu before Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court, sitting in Kaduna State on a one-count charge of false information peddling. The charge reads: “That you Barrister Steve Adamu (m) on or about the 15th day of September, 2022 in Kaduna, Kaduna State, within the jurisdiction of the Honourable Court, committed an offence to wit: wilfully gave false information to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, which information was used to carry out investigation on your complaint to the Commission, which information you knew to be false and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 16(1) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (Establishment) Act, 2004 and punishable under Section 16(2) of the same Act. He pleaded “not guilty”, prompting the prosecution counsel, M.E. Eimonye to ask the court for a trial date, while the defence counsel urged the court to grant the defendant bail. Justice Khobo, thereafter, ordered for the remand of the defendant in the Nigerian Correctional Centre and adjourned the matter till December 20, 2025 for hearing of the bail application. The defendant’s road to the dock began with his petition to the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the EFCC, in which he had alleged that his landlord had no visible means of livelihood, yet continually acquired costly automobiles and developed landed properties, all about town. However, investigations by the Commission proved the allegations to be false and malicious, prompting his arrest and prosecution.

Akpabio Says There’s No Society Without Crime As Senate Debates Rising Violence In Nigeria

Wale busari02 mins

Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Tuesday addressed growing concerns over Nigeria’s escalating violence, urging lawmakers and citizens to remain calm amid worsening insecurity. His comments came during a tense Senate plenary focused on recent deadly incidents, including the killing of Brigadier-General Uba Musa in Borno State, the abduction of 25 schoolgirls in Kebbi, and the murder of a school vice principal — all occurring within 24 hours. During the session, senators voiced frustration over the deteriorating security situation, but Akpabio cautioned against despair, highlighting the challenges faced by Nigeria’s stretched security forces. “We sympathise deeply with the families affected, but we must remember that Nigeria is a very large country,” he said. He noted the practical limits facing security agencies, emphasizing that even during elections, it is impossible to deploy a policeman to every polling unit. “Our security agencies are overstretched and often find themselves in places they shouldn’t ordinarily be,” Akpabio added. The Senate President also pointed out that crime is a global issue, not unique to Nigeria. “There is no society without crime. Even the almighty America records crime daily. But we must continue to do our best to minimise it,” he stated. Nigeria has seen a surge in attacks by insurgents, bandits, and other armed groups in recent months, prompting calls from critics for urgent government action to curb the rising violence before it spirals further out of control.

Wale busari03 mins

President Bola Tinubu departs today for a two-nation official visit to South Africa and Angola, beginning in Johannesburg before proceeding to Luanda. According to Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Tinubu will first attend the 20th G20 Leaders’ Summit in Johannesburg, before joining the AU–EU Summit in Angola. The G20 meeting is scheduled from November 22 to 23 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre, while the AU–EU summit will hold in Luanda from November 24 to 25. Invited by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, this year’s G20 chair, Tinubu will participate under the theme “Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability,” marking the first G20 summit held on African soil. Key discussions will include sustainable and inclusive growth, development finance, debt management, disaster-risk reduction, climate action, just energy transitions, food systems, critical minerals, decent work, and artificial intelligence. On the sidelines of the G20, Tinubu is expected to hold bilateral talks to advance the Renewed Hope Agenda and address regional peace, security, and development. The African Union, now a full G20 member, is also slated to take part in the summit. Following Johannesburg, Tinubu will travel to Luanda for the AU–EU Summit, which will convene leaders, innovators, and civil society actors to discuss climate initiatives, infrastructure, inclusive development, the digital economy, manufacturing, agribusiness, and the creative sector. He will be accompanied by senior government officials, including the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Finance and the Economy, Solid Minerals, and Trade and Investment, alongside the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency. The Presidency confirmed Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria after completing both summits. While this marks his third trip to South Africa since taking office, it is his first official visit to Angola as President.

Bandits Attack Kwara Church, Kill Three Worshippers and Abduct Pastor

Wale busari03 mins

Gunmen stormed the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) at Oke Isegun in Eruku, a border community with Kogi in Ekiti LGA, Kwara State, abducting an unknown number of worshippers, including the pastor. A video captured during a live stream, seen by TheCable, shows the congregation in the middle of a service when gunshots rang out around the church. Panic spread as the worshippers scrambled for safety, while several armed bandits forced their way into the building. Reports indicate that at least five attackers ransacked the church, stealing belongings from worshippers. The PUNCH reported that three people were killed during the assault, while the pastor and several church members were taken away. A witness said, “The gunmen came into the church while people were gathered. They started shooting, and three people died immediately. They later rounded up some worshippers, including the pastor, and marched them into the bush.” Community leader Benjamin Ayeoribe added that Eruku has faced repeated bandit attacks over the last three weeks, with calls for help to local and state authorities yielding no results. “We have begged the local and state governments for help, but nothing concrete has come. We are living in fear every day,” he said. The attack comes less than 48 hours after bandits raided Government Girls Secondary School in Maga, Kebbi State, abducting 25 schoolgirls.

Hackers Breach Phones Of Aliko Dangote And Femi Otedola, Demand Ransom

Wale busari02 mins

The mobile phones of Aliko Dangote, CEO of Dangote Group, and Femi Otedola, chairman of First HoldCo Plc, have reportedly been hacked, TheCable can report. Sources close to both businessmen revealed that their devices were compromised over the past week. While Otedola’s phone was hacked once, Dangote’s device was reportedly breached twice within two days. It remains unclear whether both men have fully regained access to their phones, but insiders said the hackers have demanded money. “The hackers are asking for money from both men,” an insider told TheCable. Dangote and Otedola, who share a close friendship and often refer to each other as “brothers,” have been involved in various business engagements. Otedola attended the announcement of Dangote’s plan to expand his refinery’s capacity from 650,000 to 1.4 million barrels per day. Describing Dangote as “Africa’s pride,” Otedola praised his friend’s long-term investments. “Aliko’s relentless commitment to investing in Nigeria and Africa will outlive him, as these are legacy investments that will define generations,” he said. “Soon, Nigerians will own part of this refinery, a powerful reminder that this vision is not just for Dangote, but for all Nigerians and Africans.” Otedola, author of the bestselling book Making It Big, recently boosted his stake in First HoldCo Plc, acquiring 64.87 million shares valued at N2.01 billion.
