Troops of Sector 2 of the Nigerian Army in collaboration with Civilian Joint Task Force intercepted two pickup vans conveying assorted items suspected to be logistics supplies for the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Borno State.

Sources told Zagazola Makama that the interception followed credible human intelligence indicating the movement of the items from Dapchi through the Magumeri general area.

According to the source, the troops intercepted the vehicles during the operation and took the drivers into custody for further interrogation.

Items recovered from the two vehicles included 31 spare tyres, 23 spare rims, two bicycles, 12 key starters, three alternators, two bags of flour, one mattress, five bags of charcoal, 34 tubers of yam, two blankets, nylon bags containing garri, adult and children clothing, one power bank, six mobile phones and a cash sum of N92,600.

The source added that the vehicles and recovered items were currently in custody, while investigations were ongoing to determine the extent of the suspects’ involvement and possible links to ISWAP logistics networks.

The troops, the source said, remained committed to disrupting the movement of supplies to terrorist groups and maintaining pressure on criminal elements across the area of responsibility.

Inside 150-year old Ogun community where students use tiles as white board, practice open defecation.

Forty pieces of ceramic white tiles arranged systematically serve as a maker board for students of the St Johns Anglican Primary School, Ebute-Igbooro, an agrarian community in the Yewa North Local Government area of Ogun State.

The tiles board, divided in three sections with a green marker, reads mathematics, english studies and basic technology.

While the date written on it bears 30/09/2025, the appearance is decades behind.

The school, with about 242 learners from different surrounding villages, presently has seven classrooms, a yellow and green painted three-block on the right and an unpainted crumbling and cracked four-block classroom on the left.

The St Johns Anglican Primary School, founded in 1955 also had an uncompleted classroom and other dilapidated structures with palm roof ceilings.

Ebute-Igbooro is a 150-year-old community that sits at the border between Nigeria and Benin Republic.

Founded in 1875, the community with its residents speaking the Yoruba Ketu dialect has its major occupation as farming, while the women supplement the household income by producing fufu, garri, and engaging in other petty trades.

Despite existing for 150 years, the community’s severe neglect and the harsh effects of economic hardship are starkly evident in some of its barefoot school children, who lacked uniforms, textbooks, and even school bags.

My Parents Were the First to Spray Dollars at Parties. I Drank Garri for more than 200 Days and I Didn’t Have Kwashiorkor — Dancer Kaffy.

Award winning Nigerian dancer and choreographer, Kafayat Shafau, popularly known as Kaffy, has shared a deeply personal account of her family’s journey from affluence to hardship, revealing the struggles that shaped her childhood.

Speaking on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Kaffy recalled growing up in a wealthy household that frequently hosted Nigeria’s music legends, including King Sunny Ade, Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, and Ebenezer Obey. “My parents were in the league of MKO Abiola.

They were the first people to spray dollar at parties. You would hear Sunny Ade and Barrister sing their praises. These people came to our house every weekend,” she said, noting that her parents, Alhaji Shafau and Alhaja Alake Lakonko, were once among Lagos’ high-profile socialites. However, things took a drastic turn when her family lost its fortune.

Kaffy described how her father chose to rebuild from scratch, relocating to London where he worked as a floor cleaner, while her mother struggled to adapt. “There was a lot of times when living with our months there was no food for weeks and months.

Hunger is mentor. If you want the body to sustain on only water because water is the only thing you see, it would. I drank garri for seven months without break, there was no Kwashiorkor,” she revealed. The dancer recalled moments of her mother went through emotional distress at home.

“She would have psych+tic breaks and put all of us in the centre of the house, saying, ‘You are the reason why… your destiny should start providing for me because you’re the reason I am not anywhere in my life,’” Kaffy recounted. Her story paints a picture of resilience, survival, and how hardship shaped her path before her rise to fame as Nigeria’s foremost dance icon.

EFCC Arraigns Oil Magnate in Port Harcourt for Alleged N750million Bank Fraud

The Port Harcourt’s Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, June 17, 2025 arraigned Ugochukwu Joseph Nwaemere, the Executive Director of Pennhydro-Pell Oil and Gas Limited before Justice E.A Obile of the Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for alleged conspiracy, forgery and obtaining money under false pretence to the tune of N750,000 (Seven Hundred and Fifty Million Naira).

He was arraigned on a 10-count charge.

One of the charges reads:

That you, Ugochukwu Joseph Nwaemere being the Managing

Director/Chief Executive Officer of Pennhydro-Pell Oil & Gas Limited

and Osaogba Christian Izuchukwu (now at large), being the Executive Director of Pennhydro-Pell Oil & Gas Limited, on or about the 17th of April, 2023 at Port Harcourt, Rivers State within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, with intent to defraud, obtained a total sum of Seven Hundred and Fifty Million Naira (N750,000, 000.00k) from Polaris Bank Limited, garrison Junction Branch, Aba Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State via said Bank with Account Number: 4091160890 under the false pretence that you were awarded a contract for the execution of dredging and stock-pilling of 100,00Om tones of sharp sand on the on-going Bodo-Bonny Road Project, a pretext you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1)(b) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1 (3) of the same Act.

He pleaded "not guilty" to all the charges when they were read to him, prompting the prosecution counsel, C.Okorie, to ask the court for a trial date.

Counsel to the defendant, U. C. Ngeleoka informed the court of his application for the bail of the defendant, praying that the defendant be granted bail for him to stand his trial.

Justice Obile remanded the defendant at the Port Harcourt Correctional Center till June 21, 2025 for ruling on the bail application.

Nwaemere was arrested based on the allegations made by a petitioner on some alleged illicit financial dealings bordering on conspiracy and obtaining money from his victim under false pretence running into millions.

Specifically, the petitioner alleged that the defendant, Executive Director of Pennhydro-Pell Oil & Gas Limited, and his conspirator, (now at large), sometimes in April 2023, approached Polaris Bank Limited, Garrison Junction Branch, Aba Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State for a loan for the execution of dredging and stock-pilling of 100,00O tonnes of sharp sand on the on-going Bodo-Bonny Road Project. To obtain the loan, he allegedly forged a document titled "Pennydro-Pell Oil & Gas Invoice with No: 142 dated 29th of November, 2022", purporting same to have been cleared by Julius Berger Nigeria Plc for payment of contract sum for a milestone completed by his company with intent that it may be acted upon as genuine.

Investigation revealed that the defendant allegedly convinced the bank and obtained a total sum of Seven Hundred and Fifty Million Naira (N750,000, 000.00k) but was later discovered that the loan proposal was false and all efforts by the victim to recover the said sum proved abortive.
