"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...

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.

Image
The tension in the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house reached new heights on Sunday night as two housemates, Daniel Olatunji , popularly known as Danboskid , and Ibifubara Davies , became the first to be evicted from the “Ten Over Ten” season. During the live eviction show, hosted with all the glitz and suspense that BBNaija fans have come to expect, Danboskid was the first to be shown the door after polling the lowest percentage of votes from viewers. He managed only about 0.65% of the total votes. Moments later, Ibifubara followed, having secured roughly 0.325% , sealing her fate as the second housemate to leave. The double eviction shocked some fans but also served as a reminder of the intense competition inside the house. Both evictees had brought their own unique personalities to the game—Danboskid, with his lively energy and humor, and Ibifubara, known for her calm yet strategic approach. Unfortunately, their fan base wasn’t strong enough to keep them in the running for the cov...
