Sowore Slams Tinubu Police IG Over Silence as 25 Schoolgirls Are Abducted and Brigadier General kill.

Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has sharply criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the leadership of Nigeria’s security agencies following the abduction of twenty-five schoolgirls in Kebbi State and the execution of a Brigadier General by Boko Haram/ISWAP. In a strongly worded message shared on his verified Facebook page, Sowore condemned what he described as the government’s disturbing silence in the face of national tragedy.

Sowore noted that despite the kidnapping of the schoolgirls, President Tinubu’s public statement of the day focused instead on offering a casual greeting to a “seasoned banker.” He also accused the Inspector General of Police of failing to make any comment, calling the IGP incompetent, illegally appointed, and long overdue for dismissal, especially after what he described as a disastrous handling of the Yelwata massacre in Benue.

The activist further expressed outrage that even after a senior military officer was executed, the President has still not addressed the nation. He argued that the absence of reassurance, outrage, or leadership reflects a government disconnected from its citizens.

According to Sowore, a country where schoolgirls are abducted and officers are murdered while leaders remain silent is a failed state.

Bandits have raided the Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSS) in Maga, located in the Danko Wasagu area of Kebbi State, killing the Vice-Principal, Hassan Yakubu Makuku, and kidnapping an unspecified number of students.

Maga, a community in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area, has suffered repeated attacks in recent times.A resident, Aliyu Yakubu, said the attackers stormed the school around 5 am on Monday without encountering resistance.

“The incident has thrown the entire community into panic. Residents of Maga are gripped with fear and sorrow,” he said.He added that the school principal, Makuku, was shot while attempting to shield the students during the invasion.

“He was h+t while trying to stop the bandits from taking the students. His death is a huge tragedy for both the school and the community,” he stated.

As of the time of filing this report, the police had yet to comment on the attack, as the command’s spokesperson, CSP Nafiu Abubakar, did not respond to repeated calls.

NewsAmerica sneezes, Nigeria catches fever – Ejiofor reveals why Trump’s move angers politicians.

Social critic and legal practitioner, Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor says Nigerian politicians are angry over President Donald Trump’s decision to wipe out terrorists from the country mainly for self-preservation.

In a statement posted on his official Facebook page on Saturday, the lawyer said “many people have turned insecurity into a thriving enterprise”.

He opined that those “crying foul” since Trump designated Nigeria as Country of Particular Concerns and threatened military action over alleged Christian genocide “are simply afraid of losing their political bargaining chip”.

He said, “America sneezes and Nigeria catches a fever. When Donald Trump recently declared his intention to “wipe out the monsters committing genocide against Christians in Nigeria”, you could almost hear the political class jump in unison.

“Suddenly, we became born-again defenders of sovereignty, those that failed to protect children in Chibok, girls in Dapchi, or farmers in Benue. How convenient!

“Let’s be clear: the noise isn’t about patriotism. It’s about self-preservation. Too many people have turned insecurity into a thriving enterprise: those who negotiate ransoms, those who supply arms, those who collect “security votes” without securing anything, and those who profit politically from fear”.

According to the lawyer, the “prospect of a foreign force dismantling this network terrifies them, not because they love Nigeria, but because it would collapse their cash cow.

“The world knew the scale of our tragedy long before any single politician made headlines. Human-rights organisations and investigators have documented widespread atrocities and urged accountability. Thousands of lives have been lost, millions displaced, and entire communities erased from maps. The evidence is on every Nigerian lip, every burnt village, and every weeping IDP camp.

Islamic Affairs Council rejects claims of Christian Genocide in Nigeria.

The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has rejected claims of a Christian Genocide in Nigeria, describing them as false, politically motivated, and dangerous. At a press briefing in Abuja on Sunday, Secretary-General Prof. Is-haq Oloyede said the narrative promoted by some Western media and political figures aims to destabilize the country.

Oloyede stressed that the violence in Nigeria is driven by poverty, criminality, and climate-related migration, rather than religious persecution. He stated, “There is no Christian terrorism. There is no Muslim terrorism. There is no religious intolerance in Nigeria. The tragedy we face stems from poverty, climate change, poor governance, and armed criminals exploiting divisions, while parts of the world use the situation for geopolitical gain.”

His remarks come after US President Donald Trump condemned alleged mass killings of Christians in Nigeria and warned of possible military action if the government fails to act.

Oloyede accused certain separatist groups, foreign lobbyists, and US politicians of manipulating insecurity in Nigeria to push fabricated statistics and doctored videos, seeking punitive measures against the country.

The NSCIA urged both the Nigerian government and the international community to dismiss the “false and destabilizing” claims. Oloyede called on President Trump to provide intelligence and logistical support instead of engaging in smear campaigns. He emphasized unity among Nigerians, stating, “There is no Muslim terrorism or Christian terrorism in Nigeria—only criminals exploiting our divisions.”

Concerned Nigerians petition Trump over Zamfara killings.

A coalition under the banner of Concerned Nigerians for Human Security has petitioned United States President Donald Trump, calling for international attention and decisive action over the worsening security situation in Zamfara State and other parts of northern Nigeria.

In a petition addressed to the US President, the group described the killings and mass displacement in Zamfara as “a humanitarian tragedy that demands urgent global response”.

According to the coalition, thousands of Nigerians, including men, women, and children, have been killed, abducted, or forced to flee their homes as a result of ongoing attacks by armed groups.

“We write not just as citizens mourning the thousands whose lives have been brutally cut short across parts of northern Nigeria, but as people who recognize your important role as a global leader always ready to confront moral wrongs,” the letter read in part.

The group alleged that while billions of naira are allocated for security across states, the crisis in Zamfara continues to worsen, leading to the deaths of innocent citizens and the destruction of entire communities.

It claimed that the situation reflects what it called “a total breakdown of leadership and accountability in the management of security resources”.

The coalition urged President Trump and the US government to impose visa restrictions on certain political figures, including Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, to “apply international accountability pressure on political actors who trade human lives for political and financial gain”.

“Leadership is a moral duty, not a personal luxury,” the group said, adding that sanctions would “disrupt the comfort derived from foreign refuge and compel responsibility at home”.

Policeman, five others dead as trucks collide on Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

At least six people, including a police officer, lost their lives in a multiple-truck collision on the Kara Bridge section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Wednesday night.

According to reports, the crash involved several articulated vehicles, including a fuel tanker, a container-laden truck, and another truck transporting cartons of biscuits. One victim was reportedly burnt beyond recognition, while others sustained varying degrees of injuries.

The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) confirmed eight casualties and released footage showing the wreckage and bodies at the scene. The accident caused severe gridlock, leaving motorists stranded as rescue and recovery operations continued late into the night.

Eyewitnesses said one of the trucks veered off the road and rammed into the bridge barricade, causing its head to detach and plunge into the river. Some occupants were still missing as of press time. A towing vehicle sent to clear the wreckage was also struck during the rescue effort.

Lagos Commissioner of Police, Olorundare Jimoh, who confirmed the incident, said preliminary findings point to brake failure as the likely cause. “We lost a police inspector in the crash, and those responsible will be prosecuted,” he stated, adding that three injured victims had been taken to the hospital.

Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) officials joined other emergency responders to manage the situation. The gridlock extended to both lanes of the expressway, forcing impatient drivers to drive against traffic.

Commercial drivers reportedly hiked transport fares between Berger and Oshodi from ₦1,000 to as high as ₦2,500. The Kara Bridge tragedy occurred less than 24 hours after another truck acc+dent on the Otedola Bridge, intensifying concerns over recurring road mishaps on the busy highway.

Nigeria has a painful way of breaking the spirit of even its most hopeful citizens, turning optimists into pessimists, believers into unbelievers, and patriots into cynics.

This old video of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in London captures that tragedy perfectly. In it, he speaks passionately about a Nigeria that could work a country of peace, justice, and security. He genuinely wanted a united and prosperous nation.

But the criminals in power would not allow that vision to thrive. They saw unity and truth as threats. When he refused to be silent, they targeted him. His parents, friends, and associates were lost in the struggle; he himself was abducted, vilified, detained perpetually, and now he is undergoing a sham trial under false charges of terrorism.

Yet this very video reveals that Nnamdi Kanu never set out to destroy Nigeria; he wanted to save it. But when it became clear that the ruling elite preferred corruption and division over justice and progress, he chose the dream of a free and prosperous Biafra instead.

Ironically, the same Boko Haram elements he once denounced have now become kings, emperors, and billionaires, while a man who demanded accountability and national security remains in chains.

Diddy reportedly attacked in prison after inmate held a knife to his throat.

One of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ close friends has spoken out about a frightening incident inside MDC Brooklyn, where the music mogul is currently serving time.

According to Charlucci Finney, Diddy woke up one night to find a knife pressed against his throat — a moment that could easily have ended in tragedy. Finney told Daily Mail that he isn’t sure whether guards intervened or if Diddy managed to fend off the attacker himself, but confirmed it was a very close call.

Sources familiar with the situation also verified the account to TMZ, describing it as a targeted intimidation attempt against Diddy. Finney said he believes the motive was to scare him, adding that prison is especially dangerous for inmates with sex-related convictions.

During Diddy’s sentencing, his lawyer Brian Steel mentioned the same incident, stating that a guard stopped the inmate before any serious harm was done.

Diddy is currently serving a 50-month federal prison sentence after being convicted on two counts of violating the Mann Act, which involves the transportation of individuals across state lines for unlawful purposes. He was, however, acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

Meanwhile, reports claim that former U.S. President Donald Trump is considering pardoning Diddy — though the White House Communications Office has denied those claims, TMZ insists their sources stand by the story.

Prison consultant Sam Mangel, who spoke on TMZ Live, said Diddy’s next prison is expected to be less violent than MDC Brooklyn. Still, he warned that incidents like this show why the rapper must remain alert.

For now, Diddy’s safety remains a concern among his inner circle, with Finney describing the experience as “terrifying” and a stark reminder of how quickly things can turn inside prison walls.

Tragedy as Dangote truck crushes pregnant woman, child, six others in Ondo.

A pregnant woman, mother and her child on Wednesday night lost their lives alongside six others in a fatal road crash that occurred in the university community of Akungba-Akoko, Akoko South-West Local Government Area of Ondo State involving a cement-laden truck.

The horrifying accident occurred around 8:00 pm, a few metres from the main gate of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), and the popular Holy Trinity Church.

The articulated truck, which was in transit through the community from Obajana in Kogi State and allegedly belonging to Dangote Cement, had allegedly suffered brake failure before ramming into traders and other road users in the densely populated area of the community.

Infuriated by the incident, enraged sympathisers blamed that accident on the removal of the barricade earlier mounted to prevent articulated vehicles from accessing the community.

The sympathisers, who thronged the accident scene, lamented that the tragedy has brought back painful memories of previous accidents in the area, which have claimed many lives over the years.

According to one of the sources, “Some boys in the community had been using the barricade erected to extort N10,000 from the truck drivers before allowing them to pass through. The government turned blind eyes.”

While confirming the incident, the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps in the state, Ibitoye, stated eight people lost their lives in the accident.

He said, “The deceased persons include five males, two females and one child. The truck ran into a barricade in front of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, and lost control, resulting in the crash.”

Borno Girl Reportedly Ends It All After Being Forced Into Marriage by Her Father.

Tragedy struck in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State on Sunday evening as a young woman allegedly took her own life after being compelled by her father to marry one of his friends.

The heartbreaking incident was made public by prominent counter-insurgency expert and security analyst, Zagazola Makama, who disclosed the details on Monday through his verified social media handle.

According to Makama, the woman whose identity has not yet been revealed ended her life shortly after the forced marriage arrangement was finalized. “Tragedy struck in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State on Sunday evening, when a young woman reportedly took her own life after being forced by her father to marry one of his friends,” he stated.

Citing local sources, Makama revealed that the incident occurred around 6:20 p.m. after the victim, said to be in deep emotional distress, succumbed to the overwhelming pressure from her family to go through with the arranged marriage.

A child protection advocate, Bukar Fantami Gubio, who also confirmed the incident, described it as “heart-wrenching” and called for urgent intervention from relevant authorities.

“The emotional pain and pressure she went through as a result of this forced marriage pushed her into taking her own life. It is truly a sad situation that calls for urgent action,” Gubio said.

He appealed to human rights organizations, law enforcement agencies, and community leaders to investigate the matter thoroughly and ensure justice is served.

According to him, the case highlights the urgent need to protect the rights and dignity of young women in Nigeria, particularly in communities where forced marriages persist.

“This tragedy is a painful reminder of the importance of respecting women’s freedom of choice in marriage decisions,” he added.

Efforts by journalists to obtain an official comment from the Borno State Police Command were unsuccessful, as the command’s spokesperson, Nahum Kenneth Daso, did not respond to calls or messages as of the time of filing this report.

Father of Late Bilyaminu Bello Reveals He Pleaded with President Tinubu to Pardon Maryam Sanda.

The biological father of the late Bilyaminu Bello, Alhaji Ahmed Bello Isa, has expressed his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to grant presidential pardon to his daughter-in-law, Maryam Sanda, who was convicted for the murder of her husband in 2017.

Speaking during a joint interview in Abuja with Maryam’s father, Alhaji Garba Sanda, Alhaji Bello disclosed that he had personally appealed to President Tinubu for clemency, saying his request was driven by humanitarian reasons and compassion for his two grandchildren.

According to him, executing Maryam would not bring back his son but would only deepen the tragedy by leaving the children without parental care.

“As a devout Muslim, I accepted the tragic event as the will of Allah. I have forgiven Maryam for what happened,” he said. “Before the end of the trial, I appealed to both the police and the court to drop the case because I did not want my grandchildren to lose their mother after losing their father. If she were executed, who would raise them with love?”

Reacting to reports that some members of the family opposed the pardon, he maintained that everyone is entitled to their opinion but emphasized that, as the biological father, he has fully forgiven Maryam.

On his part, Alhaji Garba Sanda, Maryam’s father, expressed profound gratitude to Alhaji Bello and his family for their extraordinary show of forgiveness, describing it as “a true act of faith and humanity.”

“Words cannot express how grateful we are for this gesture of mercy and reconciliation. We pray that healing continues for both families and that the children grow up surrounded by love and peace,” he said.

Both families reaffirmed their decision to embrace forgiveness, compassion, and unity, pledging to work together to raise the late Bilyaminu’s children in an environment of peace and love.

Nursing mother collapses and d!es while breastfeeding her baby in Ondo.

Abduction of 276 Chibok Girls Remain Indelible Scar on My Presidency — Jonathan.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has admitted that the 2014 abduction of the Chibok schoolgirls will forever remain a scar on his presidency.

He made the remark on Friday at the presentation of SCARS: Nigeria’s Journey and the Boko Haram Conundrum, a memoir by former Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor. Commending Irabor, Jonathan described him as “a soldier who stood for truth and never played politics with security.”

Reflecting on his tenure, Jonathan said, “One of the major scars on my government is the Chibok Girls. As Bishop Kukah said, no plastic or cosmetic surgeon can remove it. It is a scar I will die with.”

The kidnapping of 276 girls from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, triggered global outrage and birthed the #BringBackOurGirls campaign. Although some of the girls escaped or were freed, more than 80 remain unaccounted for.

Survivors still struggle with stigma, trauma, and interrupted education, with some returning home with children born in captivity.

Jonathan noted that Boko Haram’s activities, which began in 2009, worsened during his presidency. “I battled Boko Haram for five years as President. I thought Buhari would wipe them out quickly, but they remain. Sometimes they even had more munitions than our soldiers — that does not reflect the actions of hungry villagers,” he said.

While his administration was heavily criticised for its response to the tragedy, Jonathan defended his silence at the time, saying it was aimed at protecting sensitive intelligence. He insisted that the insurgency was more complex than many assumed and called for a renewed approach, stressing that the “carrot and stick” method might be necessary.

Over a decade later, successive governments have rescued or negotiated the release of about 189 girls, but dozens are still in captivity. The Federal Government maintains that freeing the remaining Chibok girls and Leah Sharibu remains a national priority.

Edo NSCDC Commandant Slumps and Dies During Event in Benin.

Tragedy struck on Thursday in Benin City as the Edo State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Agun Gbenga, suddenly slumped and died while attending a public function.

Gbenga had just finished delivering a goodwill message at a programme organised by the International Association of World Peace Advocates at the Bishop Kelly Pastoral Centre when he collapsed on his seat.

Attempts to revive him at the venue proved unsuccessful before he was rushed to the Military Hospital in Benin, where doctors confirmed him dead on arrival.

Eyewitnesses at the event described the development as shocking, noting that the commandant had walked into the venue looking healthy.

One attendee, Odion Ugbe, recounted that Gbenga appeared full of life only moments before tragedy struck. “He had just read his speech and was sitting down when he slumped. Medical personnel tried to resuscitate him, but it was too late,” Ugbe said, adding that the late commandant was a gentleman dedicated to national service.

Confirming the incident, NSCDC spokesperson Afolabi Babawale said, “Yes, it is true that we lost the Edo State Commandant this afternoon. He slumped during a function.”

The sudden death left guests at the event in shock, with many still struggling to come to terms with the loss of the senior security officer.
