POPULAR SKIT MAKER AND MUSICIAN, NASBOI, INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE COLLIDES WITH TRAILER

Skitmaker and musician Lawal Nasiru, popularly known as Nasboi, has survived a car accident while attempting to secure a feature for his upcoming song with Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, aka Davido.

Nasboi revealed on Tuesday that his vehicle collided with a parked trailer.

The entertainer embarked on an ambitious road trip about seven days ago, travelling across Nigeria’s 36 states in a bid to capture Davido’s attention and collaborate on a potential hit track.

Although the exact location of the accident was not disclosed, the incident has sparked widespread concern among fans and supporters, many of whom have taken to social media to express their relief and sympathy.

Shortly after the crash, Nasboi went live on social media to reassure his followers that he was safe and recovering.

In the live video, he was calm and stated that he did not blame the accident on his journey.

He said, “This could have happened in Lagos, too. I don’t even know how it happened; I’m just laughing.

“At this point, I think I need to give up. Thank God nobody was injured or killed. We are all good.”

Former EFCC chairman Abdulrasheed Bawa unveils explosive book on Nigeria’s fuel subsidy fraud

Abdulrasheed Bawa, the former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has released a groundbreaking new book titled ‘The Shadow of Loot & Losses: Uncovering Nigeria's Petroleum Subsidy Fraud’.

This powerful exposé provides the most authoritative account yet of Nigeria’s multi-trillion-naira fuel subsidy scandal, unraveling the inner workings of one of the country’s most pervasive financial crimes.

Drawing from his firsthand experience as a key investigator on the EFCC’s special team that probed the 2012 subsidy fraud, Bawa reveals the staggering scale, complexity, and audacity of the schemes used to siphon public funds under the guise of fuel subsidy payments. His insider narrative chronicles how billions of naira were recovered and several culprits brought to justice, while also shedding light on how entrenched corruption allowed the fraud to flourish for years.

In the book, published by CableBooks, an imprint of Cable Media & Publishing Ltd, Bawa details multiple fraudulent strategies including:

Ghost importing and over-invoicing: Companies submitted claims for fuel that was never imported or inflated shipment volumes to receive excessive subsidy payouts.

Manipulation of bills of lading: By altering shipping documents, fraudsters exploited international price fluctuations to claim higher subsidies.

Round-tripping and double claims: Single shipments were often used to obtain multiple subsidy payments.

Diversion and smuggling: Subsidised fuel was frequently diverted to black markets or smuggled out of Nigeria for profit.

These practices, Bawa explains, were enabled by forged documents, weak regulatory oversight, and systemic collusion between corrupt government officials and private sector actors.

“The Shadow of Loot & Losses is not just a chronicle of fraud,” says Bawa. “It is a call to action — a demand for transparency, accountability, and reform in Nigeria’s public finance management, especially in the oil sector.”

Having served as EFCC chairman from 2021 to 2023, Bawa brings rare credibility and insight into the institutional challenges and political dynamics that have shaped the anti-corruption fight in Nigeria. His book is both a revelation and a reckoning — offering evidence-based analysis and personal reflections on one of the most controversial chapters in Nigeria’s recent history.

The Shadow of Loot & Losses is essential reading for policymakers, civil society advocates, journalists, and citizens interested in understanding how systemic fraud undermines development and how it can be confronted.

The book is distributed nationwide by RovingHeights Bookstore.

Nigerian Police Foil Arms Smuggling Plot to Kwara, Nab Two Suspects

Major Arms Seizure in Anambra: Troops Intercept Truck with Over 164,000 Live Ammunition

In a significant security operation, Nigerian troops have intercepted a truck loaded with over 164,000 live ammunition in Anambra State. The operation, which took place on July 15, 2023, was a result of actionable intelligence and vigilant efforts by the Nigerian Army.

Troops of the 192 Battalion Nigerian Army, operating within the 81 Division Area of Responsibility, conducted a stop-and-search operation along the Ajilete-Owode Road in Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State. During the operation, they uncovered a truck with registration number ENU 697 XY, which was loaded with 720 packets of Red Star Cartridges (12 Calibre), each containing 25 cartridges, totaling 18,000 cartridges. 250 packets of live (black) cartridges, each containing 10 packets, totaling 2,500 cartridges.

The ammunition was cleverly concealed in a truck that appeared empty, highlighting the sophistication of the smuggling attempt.

Two individuals were arrested in connection with the illicit shipment:

Eric Seworvor, a Ghanaian national.

Lukman Sani, the Nigerian driver of the truck.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the ammunition was imported from Mali through the Idiroko International Border. The suspects had successfully evaded several checkpoints en route to their final destination in Onitsha, Anambra State, where they intended to deliver the illegal cargo.
The timely intervention by the Nigerian Army prevented what could have been a catastrophic security breach. The Chief of Army Staff, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja, commended the troops for their dedication and urged them to continue their efforts in ensuring the safety and security of all Nigerians.
This operation underscores the ongoing challenges posed by illegal arms trafficking and the commitment of Nigerian security forces to combat such threats.

Former education secretary in Abia State, Onukwuo Onuegbu has raised the alarm over persistent harassment, intimidation and threats to his life by his opponents over land matters, declaring that his life is in danger.

He appealed to the Assistant Inspector General of Police and the Abia State government to intervene and save his life.

The octogenarian who raised the concern at a news conference in Umuahia, on Monday, alleged that some members of Ogbuti family in Bende town of Bende LGA had, in an attempt to acquire his land, inflicted injuries on him with a threat to kill him should he did not relinquish possession of the land

He claimed that some members of the family had, in March, 2025, violently chased him and his daughter, Christiana away from a parcel of land called Ebeh, which he inherited from his late father in 1957 with all documents intact, stating that he has been farming there, as well as leasing it out to other farmers.

He disclosed that the report he made at Bende Division of Nigerian Police Force was not handled well, prompting him to report the matter to the Amaogwu village Arbitration Panel for amicable resolution of the matter.

"The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has called on Nigerians to support the Armed Forces in its fight against violent groups and insurgents. However, this raises a serious question: how can citizens offer support when, in incidents like the one in Benue State, people were being killed right next to a military barracks, yet the soldiers did not intervene? According to the local government chairman, the military claimed they had no permission from higher authorities to act. So, who is deceiving who in this situation?"

Nigeria's religious history began in the 16th century with the arrival of missionaries from Portugal. While Badagry is often considered the birthplace of Christianity in Nigeria, it wasn’t the location of the first church.
The first and oldest church in Nigeria is the Cathedral Church of St. Peters in Ake, Abeokuta. The key missionary in charge, Rev. Henry Townsend arrived from Sierra Leone to spread Christianity. And from 1846 to 1867, Abeokuta became the vineyard that he was called to work.

Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede, has relocated to Makurdi, the capital of Benue State, following a surge in deadly attacks by suspected herders and armed militia groups that have left hundreds dead in recent weeks.

Military sources confirmed that Oluyede departed Abuja on Tuesday morning, accompanied by top officers from Army Headquarters, to conduct an on-the-spot assessment and coordinate a response to what local officials have described as near-daily assaults on rural communities.

“The Chief of Army Staff has ordered the deployment of additional troops to Benue to confront the attackers and restore order,” a senior military officer told AFP on condition of anonymity.

The violence, which has raged across parts of the central Nigerian state, has seen villages burned, homes destroyed, and scores of civilians killed or injured. Officials say over 300 people have been killed in the past two months alone.

“Who Are You, Sir?” – Deji Adeyanju Slams Pastor David Ibiyeomie Over Threats to Journalists

Activist Deji Adeyanju has publicly criticized popular clergyman Pastor David Ibiyeomie after a viral video showed the pastor threatening to arrest bloggers and journalists who speak negatively about him or his church.

In the video, Pastor Ibiyeomie warns media professionals to “watch their mouths” when speaking about men of God, saying he’ll personally ensure their arrest if they cross the line. His remarks stirred controversy, prompting Adeyanju to respond sharply.

“Who are you, sir, that people can’t talk about your church or criticize you?” Deji asked in a social media post.

“You are not above scrutiny. This is a democracy, not a theocracy. Everyone — including pastors — must be open to public accountability.”

Adeyanju’s reaction reflects growing concern over freedom of expression and press rights in Nigeria, especially when influential figures attempt to silence critics.

Many Nigerians have since joined the conversation, defending the role of the media and condemning any form of intimidation against free speech.

“Political Class Behind Boko Haram” – Senator Orji Uzor Kalu Alleges Plot to Destabilize Tinubu’s Government

In a startling revelation, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North, has accused certain members of Nigeria’s political elite of sponsoring Boko Haram insurgents to undermine President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ program, Kalu asserted that terrorism is being used as a political tool to destabilize the current government, similar to tactics employed against previous administrations.  

Kalu elaborated that the insecurity plaguing Nigeria is politically induced, driven by individuals seeking to hijack political power. He identified politicians, wealthy businesspeople, and senior civil servants as those fueling Boko Haram, not for financial gain but to gain control. 

The senator’s allegations come amid renewed concerns over Boko Haram’s activities, including recent attacks in Borno State. Kalu called for unity and patriotism among Nigerians, urging citizens to prioritize national interest over selfish political agendas.
