  • "Majority of Bandits Neutralised, Only Few Scattered Elements Remain"— Defence Minister,Matawalle.

    The Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has stated that most b+ndit leaders and their followers have been neutralised, noting that only a few scattered elements remain. He added that President Bola Tinubu has directed Operation FANSAN YAMMA troops to eliminate the remaining bandits in the North-West.

    SaharaReporters previously reported that the Kebbi State Police confirmed the abduction of at least 25 students from the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, Danko/Wasagu LGA, on Monday morning.

    The attack by heavily armed bandits resulted in the d+ath of one staff member and injury to another, CSP Nafi’u Abubakar Kotarkoshi said. The incident reportedly occurred around 4am, with assailants engaging police officers in a gun battle.

    Matawalle made his remarks during a visit to the Theatre Command Headquarters, following Juma’at prayers at the Command Mosque.

    According to his Director of Information, Ibrahim Sule, he conveyed President Tinubu’s appreciation for the troops’ courage, patriotism, and achievements in dismantling bandit formations across the Northwest.

    He told the soldiers: “Most key bandit leaders and their foot soldiers have been neutralised through your gallant effort. What remains now are scattered elements, and the Commander-in-Chief has directed that these must be completely eliminated. You have every support needed logistics, equipment, welfare, and morale to finish the job.”

    Matawalle was received by Theatre Commander Maj. Gen. Warrah Bello Idris, who briefed him on recent operations, including neutralising high-value targets and reclaiming communities previously under bandit control. The minister praised the troops’ resilience, calling their sacrifices the foundation for peace returning to Zamfara and neighbouring states.

    Addressing officers and soldiers, Matawalle urged sustained vigilance and discipline, assuring them that total victory was near. “Your sacrifices will never be in vain. The President, the nation, and soon the people of this region will sleep peacefully,” he declared.

    He noted the introduction of a special education loan fund to ensure university students receive support to complete their studies, alongside broader reforms to enhance infrastructure, including fibre optics, security, and crime reduction initiatives. Tinubu also acknowledged humanitarian agencies for their role in supporting terrorism victims.

    Finance Minister Wale Edun briefed attendees on the country’s median age of 17 and explained that policies are designed to expand youth participation, skill acquisition, and growth prospects.

  • FG Bans Teaching in Indigenous Languages, Declares English-Only Policy in Nigerian Schools.

    The Federal Government has abolished the use of indigenous languages as a medium of instruction in Nigerian schools, making English the sole language of teaching from early childhood to tertiary level.

    Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, announced the new directive on Wednesday at the Language in Education International Conference 2025 organised by the British Council in Abuja.

    The two-day conference, themed “Language, Education and Inclusion: Empowering Every Learner,” brought together policymakers, educators, and experts from across Africa, South Asia, and the UK to discuss strategies for improving learning outcomes through language.

    Dr. Alausa explained that while preserving Nigeria’s local languages remains important for cultural identity, English offers a more effective and globally competitive medium for learning.

    “The English language should be used to teach our students at all levels as a means of instruction,” he said. “Over the years, the use of mother tongues in schools has contributed to poor performance in national examinations. The national policy on language has therefore been cancelled.”

    He described English as a “unifying tool” for Nigeria’s diverse population, noting that research showed students taught primarily in English perform better in exams like WAEC, NECO, and JAMB.

    According to him, the decision marks a shift from emotional attachment to local language identity toward evidence-based education policy.

    Meanwhile, the British Council reaffirmed its support for inclusive and equitable learning across Sub-Saharan Africa.

    Julian Parry, Director of English Programmes for the region, said language can serve as “a bridge to inclusion, identity, and opportunity.”

    Also speaking, Chikodi Onyemerela, the British Council’s Director of Programmes in Nigeria, highlighted the organisation’s Pan-Ethnic Classrooms Programme, launched in 2015, which helps teachers apply inclusive and language-responsive teaching practices.

  • Man speechless after seeing what fresher brought to school.

    A Nigerian man was left speechless after spotting the unbelievable amount of food items a fresher ((first-year student) )brought along when school resumed.

    The incident, captured in a now-viral TikTok video, showed the fresher arriving on campus with enough food to stock a mini grocery store.

    In the trending clip shared by TikTok user @absurants, the man could be seen filming as the new student unloaded his supplies.

    The items included tubers of yam, a bucket of onions, a bag of rice, a gallon of groundnut oil, and several other foodstuffs neatly packed into his hostel room.

    According to the poster, the sight was so overwhelming that he couldn’t resist recording the moment.

    He jokingly noted that the fresher “really meant business” and was clearly not ready to go hungry while on campus.

    “Omo, This Fresher No Dey Play”
    The video’s caption read: “Omo, this fresher really mean business o. So this freshers no dey play o.”

    From the clip, it was obvious that the young man came well-prepared to face the realities of campus life, possibly avoiding the high cost of food and canteen meals that most students complain about.

  • DELSU Rusticates Student Over TikTok Video of Dying  Colleague.

    Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, has rusticated a 200-level Biotechnology student, Ezi Ugoma, for uploading on TikTok a video showing a dying student allegedly involved in an abortion.

    In a letter dated October 21, 2025, signed by Principal Assistant Registrar (Students), Ughwumiakpor A., the school said Ugoma breached her matriculation oath by “inappropriately filming and uploading the scene of a dying student at the University Health Centre on TikTok.” The act was described as gross misconduct.

    Ugoma was suspended for four semesters starting from the 2025/2026 academic session and will resume in 2027/2028.

    The letter stated:
    “You will recall that you appeared before the Students Disciplinary Committee… to defend yourself against the underlisted allegations: Act of gross misconduct.
    Breach of matriculation oath arising from a case of inappropriate filming…
    After due consideration… the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Samuel O. Asagba, has approved the recommendation… that you be rusticated for four (4) semesters… You are to resume studies with effect from 2027/2028 academic session.”

    The university also forwarded copies of the decision to her sponsors and relevant authorities.

    Reports claim Ugoma’s stepfather reacted angrily, allegedly telling her to “k+ss her education goodbye forever” and prepare to return to the village.

    Journalist Oseni Rufai has appealed to the school to reconsider. In a post on X, he wrote:
    “Please sir do not allow this injustice to stand as this young lady’s future is about to be shattered and cut short.
    In addition to the pandemonium, her stepfather had vehemently told her to kiss her education goodbye forever… Please sir, don’t allow this to happen to her, we need your help.”

  • Kogi Polytechnic Suspends Deputy Registrar, Others in Certificate Forgery Scandal.

    A Deputy Registrar at the Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, is among nine members of a syndicate alleged to specialise in forging statements of results and educational certificates of the institution.

    The Rector of the Polytechnic, Professor Usman Ogbo, disclosed this in Lokoja.

    He said the Deputy Registrar whose name he declined to mention—and five other members of staff in the Exams and Records Unit of the Polytechnic identified as members of the syndicate have been suspended indefinitely.

    He further stated that four other persons, including three students and a former student involved in the certificate and statement of results forgery case, have been identified and arrested.

    Professor Ogbo said the suspects were identified through intelligence reports and routine verification exercises conducted by the Admission, ICT, and Security Units of the Polytechnic.

    According to him, a detailed investigation was also launched in collaboration with relevant law enforcement agencies.

    The Rector revealed that 30 statements of results bearing different names, ND and HND certificates, several fake official stamps, stamp pads, and admission letters bearing different names and programmes were recovered from the suspects.

    The Rector, however, stated further that “Investigation revealed shocking levels of audacity and deceit.

    “Some of the suspects forged National Diploma (ND) results in the name of Kogi State Polytechnic and had the temerity to apply for Higher National Diploma (HND) admission in the same institution using the forged ND results.

    “Even more alarming, others forged both ND and HND results and had the gut to apply for the collection of original certificates for the same fabricated results.”

  • ASUU Seeks Wamakko’s Intervention To End Dispute With FG.

    The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has appealed to Senator Aliyu Wamakko to intervene in its lingering dispute with the Federal Government.

    Led by its National Vice President, Professor Chris Piwuna, members of the union visited Senator Wamakko at his Asokoro residence in Abuja, urging him to use his experience, credibility, and influence to help restore constructive dialogue between the union and the government.

    During the meeting, ASUU emphasised that its appeal was not politically motivated but borne out of the desire to find a lasting solution to the issues that have repeatedly disrupted academic activities across the country.

    Professor Piwuna noted that the continuous breakdown in communication between the two parties has deeply affected the nation’s education sector, with students and parents bearing the greatest burden.

    “We are confident that Senator Wamakko’s intervention can bridge the existing gap between the Federal Government and ASUU. Our goal is to ensure stability in the university system and to prevent future disruptions that have so far hindered academic progress.”

    The union outlined key expectations from the senator’s involvement, including facilitating discussions between ASUU leadership and the Federal Government, urging both parties to recommit to the implementation of past agreements, and developing a structured framework for continuous engagement to avert future crises.

    ASUU also urged the lawmaker to work with relevant Senate committees and the Ministry of Education to ensure accountability in policy execution and funding commitments.

    The former Governor of Anambra State and 2023 Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, has condemned the inordinate pursuit of wealth by internet fraudsters.

    Addressing a gathering of young people during the Golden Health Conference held at the Archbishop Patterson Auditorium, All Saints Cathedral, Onitsha on Saturday, he described internet fraudsters popularly called Yahoo boys as “geniuses who need redirection.”

    The conference, themed “Money Beyond Wealth,” brought together students, professionals, and youth leaders to discuss the moral, social, and economic dimensions of wealth creation.

    Obi, while speaking during the event, stated that only money gotten through ethical means can be described as real wealth.

    He said, “Money becomes real wealth only when it is earned through ethical means and used to uplift both the individual and society in an edifying manner.”

    Obi observed that despite the fraudsters moral misdirection, many of them possess rare intelligence and creativity that, if properly guided, could drive innovation and national development.

    “Looking at what they do, there is no doubt that many of them are geniuses. The challenge before us as a society is to redirect them, to channel their ingenuity into productive ventures that will not only dignify them but also edify society,” he said

    Lamenting the state of moral decay in the country, Obi attributed much of it to leadership failure and the bad examples set by those in power.

  • Pregnant Woman, Nine Others Killed as Cement-Laden Truck Crashes in Akungba, Ondo State.

    Ten persons, including a pregnant woman, have been confirmed dead in a fatal auto crash at Akungba-Akoko in Ondo State.

    Witnesses said the crash occurred when a truck carrying bags of cement lost control along the Owo–Akungba–Ikare Expressway and rammed into roadside shops, killing several people instantly.

    A resident said, “The driver lost control and swerved into the shops. We can’t tell how many people are still trapped under the truck.”

    Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ondo State, Samuel Ibitoye, confirmed the accident, stating that the truck ran into a barricade near Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, before crashing. “No fewer than eight people died — five males, two females, and one male child,” he said.

    Ibitoye advised motorists to always ensure their vehicles are roadworthy and to obey traffic regulations to prevent such tragedies.

    Reacting to the incident, the Public Relations Officer of the Adekunle Ajasin University Students’ Union Government (SUG), Akinibobola Ajidagba, said the truck, allegedly belonging to the Dangote Group, suffered brake failure while descending from Ikare. It reportedly destroyed a permanent barricade at the university’s main gate before the crash.

    “As it stands, close to ten people have lost their lives,” Ajidagba said, lamenting that repeated appeals to restrict heavy-duty trucks from plying Akungba roads had been ignored. “We remain resolute in this struggle. Students are urged to stay calm, maintain peace, and keep off the highway for now,” he added.

    The remains of the deceased have been deposited at the government hospital morgue in Akungba. 

    Police authorities have yet to officially comment, but an officer described the accident as “pathetic.”

  • Fake Admission: Student threatens university with N500m lawsuit.

    A 200-level Law student of Achievers University, Owo, Ondo State, Akinlolu Richard Omisade, has threatened to sue the institution for ₦500 million over an alleged irregular admission not recognized by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

    In a protest letter submitted to the office of the Vice-Chancellor and signed by his lawyer, Barrister Abdulfatai Abdulsalam, Omisade described his admission as “fake,” claiming the university failed to forward his details to JAMB for proper registration.

    The petition stated that Omisade was offered admission to study Law through a letter dated August 16, 2024, but later discovered through the JAMB portal that his name was not listed among the institution’s admitted students.

    “Our client’s name was not found on the JAMB portal for Law admission in your school, implying that his details were never forwarded to JAMB for processing,” the letter read.

    It further alleged that such actions could amount to an attempt to “fraudulently exploit unsuspecting citizens by issuing unverifiable admission letters.”

    The lawyer gave the university three working days to regularize the student’s admission with JAMB or face legal action to recover ₦500 million in damages, while also notifying regulatory bodies such as the National Universities Commission (NUC), JAMB, and the Council of Legal Education (CLE).

    When contacted, the institution’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Olaniyi Adekanye, said the university was already engaging with the student’s parents to find an amicable resolution.

    “The school chairman is in contact with the student’s parents to resolve the issue in his best interest, and discussions are ongoing,” he said.
