Tensions in Mburubu, Nkanu East, Enugu State, escalated as community leader Hon. Egbo Obinna Stephen claimed he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt allegedly orchestrated by armed hoodlums sent by Enugu State Commissioner for Science and Technology, Prince Lawrence Ezeh. Stephen reported that the attackers stormed his home multiple times on October 31, 2025, causing property damage while searching for him. The incident is linked to the ongoing traditional rulership tussle in the community. Stephen alleged that the attacks were politically motivated due to his support for traditional ruler aspirant Ozo Jerry Onuokaibe. The commissioner, through his media aide, denied all allegations, calling them “desperate fabrications.” The Nigeria Police subsequently arrested the chairman of the community’s Neighbourhood Watch amid fresh allegations of vandalism, intensifying the leadership crisis.

Retired Gen. Ali-Keffi: Buhari Govt Halted Major Offensive Against Bandits, Sabotaged Anti-Terror Operations

Retired Major General Danjuma Ali-Keffi has revealed that the Muhammadu Buhari administration halted a crucial 2021 military offensive that was close to crushing major bandit networks across the North West and North Central. The former GOC 1 Division and commander of the covert Operation Silent War (OSW) detailed internal sabotage, intelligence conflicts, alleged illegal-mining-linked complicity, and an attempt to frame him for treason.

Ali-Keffi described clashes with then Army Chief Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, including an encounter where he was told to hand over intelligence so the Army could bypass OSW. He also alleged assassination attempts, noting that U.S. officials intervened during his detention.

According to him, coordinated operations in Niger and Kaduna had cleared key bandit camps and rescued over 100 victims before a presidential directive abruptly suspended offensives following negotiations with Fulani leaders. Both he and the GOC 8 Division were removed before the ceasefire window ended, derailing what he said could have been a decisive victory against banditry.

Fresh Assassination Plot Against Whistleblower Nnamdi Emeh in Anambra Prison Exposed as Global Rights Groups Demand His Release

Global human rights organisations have raised alarm over a fresh alleged plot to assassinate detained whistleblower Nnamdi Daniel Emeh inside Awka Correctional Centre. A weapon was reportedly smuggled into the prison with instructions to stage a fight and kill him, despite multiple court orders granting him bail for more than 18 months.
Blueprint for Free Speech and 20 other international groups have petitioned Nigerian authorities, demanding his immediate release, an independent probe into the threats, and accountability from the police whose investigation findings remain hidden.
Emeh, who exposed alleged extrajudicial killings and organ harvesting by Anambra police officers, continues to face prolonged detention, vanished court documents, and repeated obstruction of justice — even as he recently won an international whistleblowing award.

Viral TikToker Retracts Claim That Ned Nwoko Sponsored Assassination Attempt on Regina Daniels

A TikTok user known as Liar of TikTok, who recently accused Senator Ned Nwoko of paying him to assassinate actress Regina Daniels, has made a sudden U-turn, admitting the entire claim was fabricated for attention. His viral video had stirred widespread controversy, especially amid rumours of tension between Regina and her husband.
Following the allegations, Nwoko issued a strong statement denying the claims and threatened legal action against anyone spreading falsehoods. In a new video, the TikToker insisted he never mentioned Nwoko directly and described himself as someone who deliberately creates fictional stories online. His retraction has sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians, many of whom believe he should face legal consequences for defamation.

Nigerian Whistleblower Nnamdi Emeh Wins Global Prize While Detained for Exposing Police Organ Trafficking

Blueprint for Free Speech has honoured Nigerian whistleblower Nnamdi Emeh with a 2025 global Whistleblowing Prize, even as he remains imprisoned despite a court-ordered bail. Emeh, 26, exposed a notorious police-led organ trafficking and extortion ring in Anambra State, triggering international attention and investigations. After fleeing Nigeria, he was arrested on an Interpol Red Notice in 2023 and charged with offences civil society groups describe as fabricated retaliation. Despite meeting bail conditions, he has remained in detention for nearly three years amid alleged assassination attempts, court obstruction, and claims that implicated officers were promoted instead of prosecuted. Rights groups say the case exposes deepening impunity in the Nigerian security system and poses a critical test for whistleblower protection and rule of law in the country.

Court Debunks Assassination Rumour on Judge Who Sentenced Nnamdi Kanu — Labels Viral Claims ‘Fake News’


The Federal High Court has firmly denied a viral report alleging that Justice James Omotosho survived an assassination attempt days after sentencing IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu to life imprisonment.

The rumour, circulated by a Facebook blogger, claimed the judge was attacked and rushed to the hospital. However, in an official statement on Sunday, Chief Registrar Sulaiman Hassan described the story as completely false, unfounded, and designed to mislead Nigerians.

The statement, titled “Rebuttal to False Publication by ‘Celebrity Blogger’ on the Alleged Assassination Attempt on Justice James Omotosho”, urged the public to disregard the report and refrain from spreading misinformation.

“We firmly and unequivocally declare that the said report is completely false,” the court stated.
“The public is advised to treat this publication as fake news.”

Hassan expressed concern over the motive behind the fabrication, noting that such claims could spark panic and undermine confidence in the judiciary. He called on security agencies to investigate and prosecute those behind the malicious publication under cybercrime and defamation laws.

BACKGROUND ON THE CASE
Justice Omotosho had on Thursday sentenced Nnamdi Kanu to life imprisonment on terrorism charges. While several counts carried the death penalty, the judge opted for leniency, saying:

“As a Christian, I chose to be merciful.”

Kanu received life sentences on multiple counts, with additional terms running concurrently. The court also ordered his transfer to protective custody outside Kuje Prison and restricted his access to digital devices.

The judge further ruled that Kanu’s seized radio transmitter be forfeited to the Federal Government, with DSS allowed to pursue forfeiture of additional exhibits.

Describing the IPOB leader as “unruly” and “not remorseful,” Justice Omotosho maintained that the defendant still demonstrated “a tendency of violence.”

Military reportedly deploys patrol team on Gado Nasko Road amid suspected assasination attempt report on Lt. Yerima

Lieutenant A.M. Yerima was allegedly trailed by unidentified individuals on Sunday, prompting a heightened military presence along the Gado Nasko Road in Kubwa.

According to report from Vanguard,At around 7 p.m., a convoy of eight military vehicles was observed patrolling the Gado Nasko axis, reportedly due to concerns over the officer’s safety.

The incident allegedly involved two unmarked white Hilux vans, whose occupants—dressed in black—were said to have followed Lt. Yerima from the NIPCO Station off the Kubwa Expressway to Gado Nasko Road around 6 p.m. This development reportedly triggered the immediate activation of security protocols in the area.

Despite the reports, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has denied receiving any information regarding an assassination attempt or the trailing of the officer.

The Command’s spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, stated that no such incident had been reported or recorded anywhere within the FCT. She urged the public to disregard circulating claims, describing them as false and capable of causing unnecessary panic. Residents were also advised to remain alert and promptly report any suspicious activity to the nearest police division or through the Command’s emergency lines: 08032003913 and 08068587311.

Meanwhile, military authorities have confirmed that the alleged trailing is under investigation as they continue to assess the situation and ensure the officer’s safety.

Navy Officer Who had heated exchange with Wike ‘Escapes Assassination Attempt’ — Investigation Underway

A young Nigerian Navy officer, Lt. A.M. Yarima the same officer who recently clashed with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has reportedly survived an assassination attempt on Sunday evening.

Military sources told Vanguard that unidentified men dressed in black, driving two unmarked Hilux vans without number plates, trailed the officer from the NIPCO Filling Station along the Line Expressway to Gado Nasco Way. Their coordinated movement reportedly raised immediate suspicion.

Upon sensing the threat, Yarima executed a “strategic maneuver,” successfully shaking off the suspected assailants around 6:30 p.m. The matter is currently under investigation, with officials describing it as “sensitive” and insisting that certain details are being withheld to avoid compromising ongoing findings.

This incident comes barely days after Yarima’s viral confrontation with Wike at a disputed land site in Gaduwa an exchange that sparked public outrage and forced the Presidency to halt the demolition exercise.

Following the clash, military veterans nationwide condemned Wike’s conduct, labelling his verbal attack on the officer as disrespectful and unacceptable. Coalition spokesman, Abiodun Durowaiye-Herberts, warned that ex-service members were prepared to “occupy” the minister’s office and residence if any disciplinary action was taken against Yarima, stressing that military personnel owe allegiance to the nation, not to individual officials.

Minister of Defence, Mohammad Badaru Abubakar, later reassured the public that no officer acting lawfully would be punished, emphasising that the government remains committed to protecting personnel performing their duties professionally.

Veterans had earlier vowed to mobilise across the country should Lt. Yarima face any form of penalty a threat many say reflects the depth of support the young officer currently enjoys.

Lieutenant Yarima escapes "assassination attempt" in Abuja days after engaging in tense confrontation with Wike.

Nigerian Navy officer, Lt. A.M. Yarima, who recently had a confrontation with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, reportedly escaped an assassination attempt around 6:30pm on Sunday, Nov. 16.

According to Vanguard, military sources stated that Yarima was trailed by some unknown men clad in black and riding in two unmarked Hilux vans with no number plates. The vehicles allegedly followed him from the NIPCO Filling Station off the Line Expressway to Gado Nasco Way.

According to the source, Yarima noticed the men trailing him and executed a “strategic maneuver,” successfully evading the suspected assailants.

The source added that the matter is under investigation and is receiving “the seriousness it deserves.”

The source also disclosed to the publication that further details are being withheld so as not to compromise the investigation.

This comes days after Lt. Yarima, while on duty with other security personnel, engaged in a tense confrontation with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over a disputed land site in Gaduwa District.

Trump Calls Colombian President Petro ‘Illegal Drug Dealer’, Halts U.S. Aid To South American Country.

Trump accused President Petro of actively encouraging drug production across Colombia, describing the practice as a major threat to the United States.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump, in a social media post on Sunday, referred to Colombian President Gustavo Petro as “an illegal drug dealer” who is “low rated and very unpopular.”

Trump accused President Petro of actively encouraging drug production across Colombia, describing the practice as a major threat to the United States.

Trump claimed that drug cultivation in both large and small fields has become Colombia’s “biggest business by far” and accused Petro of failing to stop it despite significant U.S. financial support.

The president announced that, effective immediately, the United States would no longer make any payments or provide subsidies to Colombia.

“President Gustavo Petro, of Columbia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Columbia,” Trump wrote.

“It has become the biggest business in Columbia, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America. AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLUMBIA.”

Trump warned that if the Colombian government did not take immediate action to shut down the drug fields, the United States would intervene directly.

“The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc,” he said.

“Petro, a low rated and very unpopular leader, with a fresh mouth toward America, better close up these killing fields immediately, or the United States will close them up for him, and it won't be done nicely.”

Earlier on Sunday, President Petro accused the U.S. government of carrying out an assassination and demanded answers following the latest American strike in Caribbean waters.

The U.S., however, confirmed on Saturday that it was repatriating two survivors of the attack to Colombia and Ecuador.

This marked the sixth U.S. strike in the region since early September, which has reportedly killed at least 29 people. Washington maintains that the strikes are targeting alleged drug traffickers.

US Revokes Visas of Foreign Nationals Who Celebrated Charlie Kirk’s Assasination.

The United States government has revoked the visas of several foreign nationals who publicly celebrated the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, in what officials described as a firm stand against hate speech and glorification of violence.

In a statement released Tuesday, the U.S. State Department confirmed that multiple visa holders had been identified and sanctioned for making inflammatory remarks online following Kirk’s killing.

“The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans,” a State Department spokesperson said. “We continue to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk.”

Officials revealed that individuals from Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, and Paraguay were among those affected.

Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested and charged with murder, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and committing violence in the presence of children. Prosecutors said they would pursue the death penalty, describing the crime as “politically motivated and deeply disturbing.”

No remorse or regret in our action murdering 1,200 Israelis on October 7th— Hamas leader, Hamad says.

According to the Jerusalem Post report on Friday September 26, 2025, Hamas political bureau member Ghazi Hamad has expressed no regret for the October 7 attacks on Israel, which resulted in nearly 1,200 deaths and over 250 hostages. In a CNN interview published on Friday, Hamad claimed the attacks targeted only military objectives and that civilians were not intentionally kidnapped.

He argued that the operation has advanced the Palestinian cause, citing increased international support and condemnations of Israel at the UN General Assembly. Hamad stated, "You know what the benefit of [October 7] is now? …If you look at the (United Nations) General Assembly yesterday, when about 194 people opened their eyes and looked at the atrocity, the brutality of Israel and all of them, they condemned Israel. We waited for this moment for 77 years."

Hamad showed no remorse for Palestinian civilian losses in Gaza, asserting that Palestinians "are proud to sacrifice martyrs." When presented with footage of Gazans criticizing Hamas, he refused to engage fully. On hostages, he denied using them as human shields, claiming they are treated according to "Islamic principles," countering Israeli accusations. Another Hamas official, Osama Hamdan, linked recent state recognitions of Palestine to the attacks.

The context of the October 7 assaults involves Hamas's invasion from Gaza, leading to widespread violence and Israel's subsequent military response. Hamad's stance defends the attacks as strategically beneficial, despite the devastation in Gaza. Negotiations with the US under President Trump have stalled, with Hamad accusing the US of involvement in an assassination attempt on him, eroding trust in mediators.

Hamad's unapologetic position highlights Hamas's defiant narrative amid ongoing conflict, potentially complicating peace efforts. It underscores tensions in mediation and the human cost on both sides. The interview reveals deep divisions, with implications for international diplomacy and the prospects of a ceasefire.

Alleged Cybercrime Case Against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Stalls, Adjourned to October 20

The cybercrime trial of suspended Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan was adjourned to October 20, 2025, after her legal team filed a preliminary objection challenging the court’s jurisdiction. The objection, raised by her counsel Ehiogie West-Idahosa (SAN), questions the alleged abuse of prosecutorial powers by the Attorney General of the Federation.

The senator, arraigned on June 30 on a six-count charge under the Cybercrimes (Amendment) Act 2024, is accused of spreading false information electronically to incite violence and public disorder. Specifically, she is alleged to have publicly claimed that Senate President Godswill Akpabio instructed former Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello to kill her.

At the resumed hearing on September 22, prosecution counsel David Kaswe said they were ready to begin, with a witness present. However, the judge, Justice Mohammed Umar, ruled that the court must first resolve the jurisdictional objection before proceeding with the trial.

Key Allegations Against Akpoti-Uduaghan:

Accused of transmitting false, inciting information electronically.

Allegedly stated that Akpabio and Yahaya Bello plotted her assassination.

Charges brought under the Cybercrimes Prohibition, Prevention, etc. (Amendment) Act 2024.
