Nigeria’s 2025 Tax Reforms Boost Competitiveness, Simplify Levies, and Protect Investors — Tope Fasua

Dr. Tope Fasua has clarified public misconceptions surrounding Nigeria’s new tax administration laws set to take effect in January 2026. Contrary to fears of investor flight and high tax burdens, he explains that the Nigeria Tax Act (NTA) and Nigeria Tax Administration Act (NTAA) modernize the system, streamline levies, and align Nigeria with global standards. A key change is the 4% Development Levy, which replaces multiple fragmented taxes like TETFund, NITDA, NASENI, and Police Trust Fund levies—reducing compliance costs and improving predictability for businesses. The reforms also preserve Free Trade Zone incentives while curbing misuse, introduce a globally approved 15% minimum tax for large multinationals, and ensure fair competition with large domestic firms. Fasua argues the reforms ultimately enhance investor confidence, revenue stability, and Nigeria’s economic competitiveness.

Kwara Police Arrest Kidnapping Kingpin After DSS Detains Doctor Treating Bandits

The Kwara State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of a notorious kidnapping kingpin, Aliu Abubakar, just hours after the DSS detained a medical doctor accused of providing drugs and medical treatment to armed groups operating in the Kwara–Niger forest belt. Abubakar was apprehended at Oro-Ago Motor Park following community intelligence, with digital forensics reportedly revealing photos of him wielding an AK-47, posing with gang members, and displaying cash believed to be ransom proceeds.
The arrest is linked to an ongoing security sweep that recently intercepted ammunition couriers tied to the same network. Authorities say the coordinated crackdown is exposing the financial, logistical and medical support systems sustaining kidnapping operations in rural communities. The suspect is in custody and providing actionable intelligence expected to lead to more arrests.

Court Declares Police Wanted Notice on Lagos Lawyer Illegal, Orders Retraction and Apology

A Federal High Court in Lagos has ruled that the Nigeria Police Force acted unlawfully by declaring Lagos-based lawyer Emmanuel Chinyere Orji wanted without a court order. Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa held that the Police exceeded their constitutional powers and violated Orji’s fundamental rights by publishing his name and photograph in national media and on its website.
The court nullified the publication, directed the Inspector General of Police to retract the notice and issue a formal apology, but dismissed Orji’s N1 billion damages claim. The judgment reinforces that law enforcement agencies cannot declare a citizen wanted without judicial authorization.

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.

Imo Police uncover hotel and mortuary allegedly used for kidnapping, organ harvesting in Ngor Okpala, Imo State

Operatives of the Imo State Police Command have uncovered a hotel and a mortuary allegedly used by a criminal syndicate for kidnapping, ransom collection and organ harvesting along the Airport–Owerri–Aba Road in Ngor Okpala Local Government Area.

The discovery, announced on Saturday, followed weeks of covert surveillance ordered by the Commissioner of Police, Imo Command, CP Aboki Danjuma, after a series of disturbing reports of kidnapping attacks on motorists in the Ngor Okpala axis.

According to police accounts, intelligence-led investigations revealed that one High Chief Stanley Oparaugo, also known as “Morocco,” of Ngor Okpala, is the suspected kingpin of the syndicate. He allegedly owns Jessy Best Hotel, Ihitte Okwe, and a nearby mortuary known as Ugwudi, both situated along the Airport–Owerri–Aba Road.

Police said the gang lured victims into the hotel, where they were robbed, abducted and forced to pay ransom. Several victims who reportedly paid ransom were never seen again by their families.

Further investigations indicated that victims were moved from the hotel to the mortuary, where they were allegedly killed and their body parts harvested for sale to criminal buyers.

Led by CP Danjuma, police operatives visited the scene, where Jessy Best Hotel was found completely deserted. At the Ugwudi mortuary, officers discovered several mutilated corpses, believed to be victims of the operation.

The police said efforts are ongoing to track down the fleeing High Chief Oparaugo and members of his criminal gang.

The operation was conducted in collaboration with the Imo State Commissioner for Health, the Chairperson of Ngor Okpala Local Government Area and local vigilante groups. Tactical teams, including the ACP in charge of operations, the Divisional Police Officer for Ngor Okpala and community vigilantes, have been deployed to take over the area and prevent further criminal activity.

The Imo State Police Command urged residents to remain vigilant and continue providing information that could assist in the ongoing investigation.

Macron Backs Tinubu as France Pledges Full Support to Nigeria Amid Escalating Terror Threat

French President Emmanuel Macron has assured President Bola Tinubu of France’s full support as Nigeria battles a worsening wave of terrorism, mass kidnappings, and violent attacks across the North and Middle Belt.
