"Banditry: Hunters Urge Federal Government Support for Physical and Spiritual Battle"

Image
Amid escalating insecurity nationwide, hunters and farmers have urged the Federal Government to officially authorize them to help drive out bandits, Boko Haram insurgents, and other criminal elements taking refuge in forests. The appeal comes from groups such as the Nigerian Forest Security Service, the Professional Hunters Association of Nigeria, the Agbekoya Farmers’ Society of Nigeria, and the Oodua Peoples. The Oodua Peoples Congress has declared that it possesses the spiritual fortitude, expertise, and forest-based experience required to tackle terrorism. Their assertion comes amid a renewed wave of terror attacks across the country, with Plateau and Benue states bearing the brunt. Last week, at least 51 people were killed by gunmen in Zikke and Kakpa communities in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State—just two weeks after deadly clashes erupted in the region that left many people dead. Before last week’s assault, armed attackers had killed at least 52 people and forced ...

Over 150 Students Share One Classroom In Oyo School As Infrastructure Crumbles

Image
That situation at Community Secondary School, Awotan-Orisun is deeply troubling. Overcrowding more than 150 students in one classroom is not only unsafe, it severely hinders effective learning. The lack of basic infrastructure — like plastered walls, windows, and doors — creates an environment that's physically and mentally unfit for education. This kind of condition not only affects students’ academic performance but also puts them at risk of health issues and accidents, especially if the building is near collapse. It's a clear call for urgent intervention from local authorities, the Ministry of Education, and possibly NGOs focused on education and youth welfare. According to the civic tech platform Monitng, the school’s infrastructure is in a critical state, with classrooms reportedly “crumbling, unplastered, unsanitary, missing windows and doors, and dangerously close to collapse.” Despite significant allocations to Oyo State’s education budget, hazardous learning condition...

Boy who stood before Obi’s convoy demands N100m after release

Image
A teenager Alabi Quadri, who was released on Thursday after spending three months in custody due to allegations of armed robbery brought against him by the Lagos State Police Command, is now seeking N100 million in compensation from the police. Quadri captured public attention when he boldly stood in front of the convoy of Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party Presidential candidate, during Obi's visit to Lagos earlier that year. His troubles began when individuals in his community, specifically in the Amukoko area, allegedly demanded a portion of the money he was said to have received from Obi during their encounter. In a statement issued shortly after Quadri's release, his lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, shared details of his client’s ordeal, including how he was abducted by these individuals while returning from work and subsequently handed over to the police. Effiong recounted that the police brought Quadri to court under accusations of armed robbery, where they requested a remand orde...
