Man Accuses Activist Harrison Gwamnishu of Withholding Recovered Millions, Shares Year-Long Ordeal A Nigerian man, Awuzie Frankline, has narrated his troubling encounter with embattled activist Harrison Gwamnishu, who is already facing allegations of diverting missing ransom funds. Frankline claims his brother engaged Harrison to help recover millions owed to him, but after retrieving the money, Harrison allegedly kept it for personal use following his political campaign. Frankline said Harrison initially admitted holding the money and agreed to repay it gradually, but later blocked him on Facebook and WhatsApp. The dispute dragged on for over a year until social commentator VeryDarkMan intervened, prompting Harrison to start making small repayments. Frankline shared screenshots and insisted he holds no personal grudge, only seeking justice. Reactions online remain divided, with some defending Harrison’s humanitarian work while others accuse him of repeated misconduct. #HarrisonGwamnishu #VeryDarkMan #NigeriaNews

How Enugu Government Ignored Repeated Warnings About Suspect Who Killed Teenage Girl After She Exposed His Sexual Abuse Community leaders in Opi, Nsukka, had reportedly raised alarms months ago about 51-year-old Emmanuel Emeka Nwangwu — the man now arrested for killing a 19-year-old girl who exposed his alleged pattern of sexual violence. A leaked petition shows that the community formally alerted the Enugu State government about Nwangwu’s alleged abuses, but authorities allegedly failed to act. Instead of being investigated, he was reportedly empowered with an official local security role. The teenage victim allegedly paid the ultimate price after speaking out, as Nwangwu targeted her for exposing his sexual misconduct. #Enugu #JusticeForVictim #NigeriaNews #StopSexualAbuse

LAUTECH Medical, Dental Lecturers Suspend Four-Month Strike After Partial CONMESS Response The Nigerian Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) at LAUTECH has suspended its four-month strike following an emergency congress held on Monday. The industrial action, which began on July 31, was triggered by the university’s delayed implementation of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS). Although only the basic salary component has been paid, allowances and arrears dating back to January 2025 remain outstanding. NAMDA said the suspension was reached unanimously to allow further “good-faith engagement” with the university management. The lecturers rejected earlier proposals shifting full CONMESS implementation to July 2026 and warned that future actions hinge on the university’s commitment to fulfilling outstanding obligations. The association acknowledged interventions from the Governing Council and the Oyo State Commissioner for Education and urged swift action to prevent setbacks to medical training and accreditation. #LAUTECH #NAMDA #CONMESS #StrikeUpdate #MedicalLecturers #OyoState #EducationNews #IndustrialAction #NigeriaNews #UniversityUpdates

Coalition Demands IGP Probe Rep. Chinedu Ogah Over Alleged Militia, Journalist Arrests A coalition of civil society organisations in Ebonyi State has urged the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to investigate multiple petitions accusing House of Representatives member Hon. Chinedu Ogah of operating a militia group in Ikwo community. Led by Prof. Joseph Agbo of Ebonyi State University, the coalition said the allegations — including unlawful arrests, prolonged detentions, and assaults on journalists and critics — are too serious to ignore. They cited cases of detained journalist Friday Alefia, TikTok creator Chisom Achor, his brother Chinonso Imeba, Paul Nweke, and the alleged disappearance of social media critic Methuselah Anyigor. The groups also condemned the beating of journalist Godwin Aliuna by Neighbourhood Watch operatives and criticised the Ebonyi NUJ for its silence. The coalition called for equal treatment of all petitions, insisting that while Ogah has the right to defend his reputation, due process must be followed and rights abuses must not be overlooked. #ChineduOgah #EbonyiState #IGPEgbetokun #HumanRights #MilitiaAllegations #PressFreedom #JournalistArrests #CivilSociety #NigeriaNews #Accountability

🚨 BREAKING: Kogi Govt Deploys Helicopter, Anti-Kidnapping Squad After Church Attack The Kogi State Government has launched both aerial and ground security operations following a violent attack on a Cherubim and Seraphim church in Ejiba, Yagba West LGA. Video footage shared by Egbe Emekun Parrot shows a state-deployed helicopter and anti-kidnapping unit combing the area in pursuit of the armed attackers. During the assault, the church pastor, popularly known as Orlando, and an unconfirmed number of worshippers were reportedly abducted. Residents are anxious as the operation continues to track the perpetrators and secure the victims’ safe release. Footage from the scene shows the church interior in disarray, with shoes and Bibles left behind. A witness filming said: “I hid myself; this is the church where they kidnapped people… Baba Orlando, the head of this church, was taken. They didn’t even turn off the speaker.” This attack adds to a worrying trend of violence against places of worship in Kogi and neighboring states. Just weeks ago, on November 18, bandits attacked Christ Apostolic Church in Kwara State, killing five people and abducting 38 worshippers, including women, children, and the elderly. Security agencies successfully rescued the Kwara victims after coordinated operations, raising hopes that the Kogi abductees will also be freed safely. Stay alert. Stay informed.
