News Brief (September 14–15, 2025)
Nigeria is facing mounting concerns over insecurity, governance, and economic hardship as multiple developments unfolded in recent days.
In Abuja, a German national was stabbed and robbed by motorcycle-riding hoodlums along IBB Way, near Maitama Primary School, sparking security alerts for foreigners and residents. Security experts warned of rising lawlessness and advised extreme caution in poorly secured areas.
Meanwhile, human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) faulted the proposed 5% fuel surcharge, warning it would amount to multiple taxation while the Federal Government still owes the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) about ₦1 trillion from unremitted funds. He also cautioned against total subsidy removal, describing it as economically unrealistic and socially insensitive.
In Adamawa State, lawmaker Hon. Jafar Abubakar stirred controversy after reportedly distributing ₦124 million in cash to “empower” youths and another ₦100 million to boyhood friends. Critics condemned the cash handout as reckless and a reflection of Nigeria’s entrenched political culture of patronage, even as millions struggle with poverty, hunger, and inflation.
Collectively, these incidents underscore growing public frustration with insecurity, questionable governance practices, and policies deepening economic hardship under the Tinubu administration.
