Tinubu: You Have Broken A Long-Standing Jinx That Held Our Nation Back For Too Long–General Buratai

Tinubu: You Have Broken A Long-Standing Jinx That Held Our Nation Back For Too Long–General Buratai

According to the Nigerian Tribune, former Chief of Army Staff General Tukur Yusuf Buratai has stated that internal security in Nigeria is showing encouraging progress, a development he links to sustained and determined military operations in troubled areas.

The retired general shared his assessment in a press statement issued to journalists in Kaduna on Sunday, May 31, 2026—marking three years since President Bola Tinubu assumed office.

In reviewing the federal government’s defense approach, Buratai examined current efforts aimed at restoring peace in conflict-affected regions. He emphasized that the Nigerian Armed Forces have intensified targeted military actions across the country to address distinct security challenges in various communities.

These coordinated operations, he noted, have led to measurable improvements in restoring public order and strengthening the nation’s broader defense posture. The armed forces, he said, have maintained a firm and active presence across multiple operational zones.

Buratai highlighted that ongoing military activities are part of a broader national strategy centered on sustained counterterrorism efforts, anti-banditry operations, and focused internal security measures. These initiatives, he added, are being carried out in all geopolitical zones to eliminate residual threats and enhance safety for ordinary citizens.

By sustaining a high tempo of operations, the military has kept persistent pressure on criminal and insurgent groups, according to Buratai.

Turning to leadership, the former army chief credited the Tinubu administration with taking bold actions to tackle entrenched domestic challenges. He described these policy moves as courageous steps reflecting a strong commitment to national advancement and institutional reform.

Such governance, he argued, is helping steer key sectors back toward stability.

Drawing from his extensive career—including senior military command and service as Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Republic of Benin—Buratai said his experience provides him with a comprehensive perspective on regional and international security dynamics. This insight, he explained, informs his positive outlook on Nigeria’s current security direction.

He stressed that continued progress will depend on aligning battlefield tactics with sound strategic decision-making.

Buratai also noted that defense institutions are now focused on consolidating territorial gains through coordinated federal and state-level support to ensure lasting peace.

In closing, he directly commended the President’s leadership over the past three years, applauding the administration for shifting the country’s course.

“You have not only made history,” Buratai said, “but you have broken a long-standing cycle that held our nation back for too long in critical areas of national life and development.”

Niger community celebrates as military eliminates 200 terrorists

Niger community celebrates as military eliminates 200 terrorists

In what could be described as a major breakthrough in the war against bandits and other terrorist groups in Niger State, a Joint Security Taskforce (JST) led by the military on Sunday reportedly rounded up and killed well over 200 terrorists in Babanna, a border town between Nigeria and the Benin Republic in Borgu Local Government Area of the state.

The development sparked widespread jubilation among residents of the entire Borgu Kingdom, who had remained under siege from terrorist activities over the past year.

The successful operation began on Tuesday last week when troops of the 22 Armoured Brigade, deployed at the Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Babanna, launched a coordinated offensive against the terrorists.

The climax of the five-day military operation, codenamed “Operation Savanna Shield”, came on Sunday, May 31, when the troops dealt a heavy blow to the terrorists, killing more than 200 of them, according to local sources.

Several arms and ammunition were recovered by the troops, including more than 300 motorcycles allegedly belonging to the terrorists.

It was gathered that the commander of the vigilante group from Babanna, popularly referred to as Bature OC, was killed during the operation, while there were reportedly no casualties on the side of the military.

A source close to Babanna further told Daily Sun that the operation, which was carried out in collaboration with security agents from the Benin Republic and local vigilantes in Nigeria, covered the Dekara Road axis through Gidan Zana and Rafin Korama within the Kainji Lake National Park forest.

According to him, “The operation is still ongoing as I speak with you, and security agents have continued to sustain pressure on these criminal elements within the areas that I mentioned.”

Since Sunday, it has been a moment of celebration among residents of Babanna, as men and women trooped out in large numbers to express their appreciation and cheer Nigerian soldiers, local vigilantes and Benin Republic security forces for the success of the joint operation.

A resident of the area, Alhaji Mohammed Usman, who spoke to our correspondent on the telephone, described the killing of the terrorists as a major relief for the people whose way of life had been severely disrupted by the activities of the criminal groups.

“For the past year now, we cannot go to the farm; we can’t access our market, and nobody travels free in this entire area for fear of being abducted or even killed. They have made life very miserable for our people,” he lamented.

It could be recalled that, worried by the relentless attacks by bandits and other terrorist groups, communities in Borgu Kingdom had earlier this year appealed to the federal government to urgently deploy additional security personnel to troubled communities in Agwara and Borgu local government areas of the state.

They specifically urged the federal government to, as a matter of urgency, establish a military base in the area to curtail the activities of the gunmen, saying the security situation had become both worrisome and frightening.

Community leaders in the affected areas said the entire Borgu Kingdom, comprising Borgu and Agwara local government areas, had been under siege from bandits and other criminal elements who had made life unbearable for residents since the beginning of the year.

Speaking on behalf of the communities, Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Niger State chapter, and Catholic Bishop of Kontagora Diocese, Most Rev. Dr Bulus Dauwa Yohanna, pointed out that the plight of the affected communities was better imagined than experienced, as many residents now lived like refugees in their own communities.

Rev. Yohanna described the security situation as dire, highlighting repeated attacks on residents, schools and police facilities. He added that many children could no longer attend school, farmers had been forced to abandon their farms, and several markets had been shut down.

According to him, “The people of Agwara deserve to live without fear; our children deserve a secure future, our people need to farm their lands and sleep peacefully in their homes, but all these are no more,” he said.

Although the criminals had been operating and terrorising the area for a long time, the situation escalated following the abduction of students of Papiri Missionary School in Agwara in November last year. Since then, the entire Borgu Kingdom has struggled to regain its peace.

BREAKING NEWS - IBB Calls on Northern Leaders to Save the Region from Collapse

Former Nigerian military Head of State, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, has called on Northern leaders to unite in order to rescue the region from decline.

In a speech delivered this morning, Babangida stated that prominent Northern elders continue to pass away, a situation he said further highlights the urgent need for leaders to rise and protect the dignity of the region.

“You can see that many of the region’s respected elders are passing away, including top religious scholars, politicians, and others. Even I myself feel weak, and I am not sure whether I will survive beyond this year. Our prayer is to end our lives in faith,” he said.

He further stated that during their time in leadership, they did everything possible to ensure the progress of Northern Nigeria, citing the relocation of Nigeria’s Federal Capital from Lagos to Abuja as an example.

“If I had left the Federal Capital in Lagos and not moved it closer to our Northern region, perhaps today the North would not even be recognized as it is. Alhamdulillah, we have done our part, and now our time is coming to an end. I appeal to Northern leaders to unite and reclaim this region of ours, because we have no other like it,” he added in his address.

Fresh details have emerged on the kidnapping of school pupils in Ahoro-Esiele, Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, where two teachers and an okada rider were also killed.

The Oyo State Police Command says investigators were able to track down some suspects after discovering that they were allegedly communicating with the kidnappers through phone calls during and after the attack.

According to the police, these conversations helped the criminals plan their movement through the National Park and find safe routes and hideouts after carrying out the operation.

So far, no fewer than six suspects have been arrested and are currently in custody, assisting security agencies with ongoing investigations.

Police spokesperson, CSP Olayinka Ayanlade, confirmed that the arrests were made during a joint security operation involving the Police, Nigerian Army, Amotekun, NSCDC, and Agro Rangers.

OYO SCHOOLS ATTACK: OONI URGES SWIFT SECURITY ACTION, CALLS FOR COLLECTIVE FIGHT AGAINST KIDNAPPING

The Permanent Chairman of the Southern Nigerian Traditional Rulers Council (SNTRC), Arole Oodua Olofin Adimula and the Natural Head of the Oduduwa race worldwide, the Ooni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, CFR, Ojaja II, has condemned the recent attack on schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, calling for swift security action and a united national effort against kidnapping and violent crimes across the country.

In a statement on Monday by the Director of Media and Public Affairs, Ooni’s Palace, Otunba Moses Olafare, the Ooni, who is also the Co-Chairman of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria (NCTRN) described the abduction of students and teachers from schools within the Ahoro-Esiele/Yawota axis of Ogbomoso as heartbreaking, disturbing and unacceptable.

The Ooni Ogunwusi lamented that innocent pupils, teachers and residents were subjected to terror following the invasion of the communities by armed gunmen who reportedly attacked Community High School, Ahoro-Esiele, L.A. Primary School, Esiele, and Yawota Baptist Nursery and Primary School.

Ooni Ogunwusi expressed sadness over the loss of lives recorded during the incident, including that of Assistant Headmaster Joel Adesiyan, a commercial motorcyclist and one of the abducted teachers, Mr. Michael Oyedokun, who was reportedly killed in captivity.

According to the Ooni, attacks on schools and educational communities represent a direct assault on the future of the nation, stressing that children and teachers must never become victims of criminal activities.

The Ooni therefore called on security agencies to intensify rescue operations to ensure the safe return of all victims still in captivity while bringing the perpetrators of the attack to justice.

He also urged governments at all levels to strengthen security architecture in vulnerable communities, particularly around schools and rural settlements, in order to prevent future occurrences.

The Ooni further appealed to Nigerians to support security agencies with credible information, vigilance and community cooperation, noting that the fight against kidnapping requires collective responsibility and national unity.

Ooni Ogunwusi equally sympathised with families of security operatives, Amotekun Corps members and local vigilantes who reportedly lost their lives during rescue efforts, describing their sacrifices as patriotic and heroic.

While praying for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives, the Ooni asked Olodumare to comfort bereaved families and grant quick freedom to all abducted victims still in captivity.

Ogbomoso School Attack: Bandits Reportedly Open Fire on Rescue Operatives, One Officer Confirmed Dead, Others Injured

Ogbomoso School Attack: Bandits Reportedly Open Fire on Rescue Operatives, One Officer Confirmed Dead, Others Injured

The rescue operation for the abducted teachers and students in the Ahoro-Esinele/Yawota area of Oriire Local Government has reportedly become more difficult, as suspected bandits are now using Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) to prevent security operatives from surrounding them.

According to Eclat media  , a joint team of soldiers, operatives of the Amotekun Corps, Agro-Rangers, and local hunters on Saturday evening traced the kidnappers and their captives to a hill near Igbeti. The rescue team was said to be advancing towards the location when the gunmen opened heavy fire.

A victim receiving treatment at the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso, reportedly disclosed that the bullets fired by the bandits had little effect on most of the security personnel, forcing the attackers to resort to IEDs. The explosives reportedly caught the rescue team off guard, leading to the death of one operative while several others sustained injuries.

The source further explained that the cries of the abducted children could be heard during the operation.

I Caught My Wife With Another Man, Confronted Him Face To Face – Frank Edoho Breaks Silence

Media personality Frank Edoho has finally shared his side of the controversy surrounding the collapse of his marriage.

 In a viral audio recording circulating online, Frank claimed the problems in the marriage started after he discovered that his estranged wife was allegedly involved with another man.

According to him, the situation changed completely after he found out about the alleged affair, which later caused tension between them.

He claimed he personally confronted the man involved and questioned him about the relationship.

Frank also alleged that he had evidence, including messages and recordings, connected to the issue. He said he initially hoped the relationship between the man and his wife would end so that his marriage could survive.

The television host stated that despite several attempts to fix things, the marriage continued to suffer setbacks.

He explained that there were periods when they separated and later reunited, but the problems never fully disappeared.

Frank also revealed that both families tried to keep the matter private because of their children. However, the marriage later ended in divorce proceedings after efforts to settle their differences failed.

Speaking further, he said legal battles involving custody and financial matters became part of the divorce process.

He added that evidence was presented in court as both sides defended themselves against different accusations linked to the failed marriage.

He said in the audio: “I approached that stup!d boy and he was shaking like a leaf. I asked him why he was with my wife when he even had a girlfriend named Precious. What he said about older women is true.

“I begged this boy to leave my wife alone and hoped she would come to her senses. I have text messages where the idiot apologized, but they still went back to each other.

“I told him to leave my wife alone, but they continued. I sent that woman to school… I even studied interior photography for her. I have about 6 pieces of evidence to burn both of them on a stake.”

We say Nigerians take our jobs and b£at them up. After doing that, how many jobs have we created? — Activist Julius Malema asks fellow South Africans

We say Nigerians take our jobs and b£at them up. After doing that, how many jobs have we created? — Activist Julius Malema asks fellow South Africans

Julius Malema has strongly criticised what he described as Afrophobic vi0lence in South Africa, questioning the logic behind attacks on foreign nationals and their impact on job creation.

Speaking on the issue, Malema challenged those involved in xen0phobic attacks, asking: “How many jobs have you created after b+ating foreigners, by b£ating up these Nigerians, by b+ating up these Ghanaians, by b£ating up these Zimbabweans?”

He argued that vi0lence against migrants does not solve unemployment or economic hardship, but instead worsens the situation, noting that many businesses are destroyed in the process. According to him, shutting down foreign-owned shops that employ locals ultimately leads to job losses rather than job creation.

Malema further criticised what he described as a lack of skills and direction among some perpetrators, saying: “Unskilled men with no skill whatsoever say somebody took their job.” He suggested that blaming foreigners for unemployment distracts from addressing deeper economic challenges.

The politician also rejected the idea of exclusionary politics based on nationality, insisting he would not support policies that discriminate against other Africans for political gain. He said: “I’ll never do that. I will never refuse a pregnant woman of African descent to give birth in clinics of South Africa.”

He also stressed that he would not support policies that exclude African children from education, referencing apartheid-era practices of exclusion.

He maintained that his political stance is rooted in principle rather than opportunism, adding that he would not trade his values for votes or political support.

Malema’s remarks come amid ongoing debates in South Africa over xen0phobia, unemployment, and competition for economic opportunities between locals and foreign nationals. 

C & S Movement Church Urges Practical Action, Prayer Against Evil Forces Threatening Nigeria

C & S Movement Church Urges Practical Action, Prayer Against Evil Forces Threatening Nigeria

 

The Chairman and Spiritual Father of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church Worldwide (Ayo Ni O) His Most Eminence Prophet (Dr) Emmanuel Abiodun Alogbo, has called for a combination of practical action and sustained prayer to safeguard Nigeria against the "evil forces threatening the peace of Nigeria".

 Speaking ahead of the 57th Annual Mount Horeb Ascension in May 2026, the cleric noted that the nation is currently grappling with a deteriorating security environment characterised by banditry, kidnapping for ransom, and recurring farmer-herder conflicts. 

He further observed that these safety concerns are compounded by "deepening economic hardship, persistent inflation, and widespread food insecurity".

  While acknowledging the macroeconomic reforms initiated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Prophet Alogbo urged the Federal Government to ensure that these policy gains result in tangible benefits for ordinary citizens. 

He specifically called for a closer monitoring of intervention programmes to ensure relief reaches those in need and emphasised the importance of accountability as the country approaches another electoral cycle. 

On this matter, he urged political actors and citizens to "uphold the integrity of democratic processes and to govern with the accountability the nation demands".

The church also extended its concern to global stability, advocating for ceasefires in the Middle East and Ukraine while warning world leaders against rising nuclear tensions.

 The Head of the church’s Prophetic Ministry Prophet Joel Olayinka Adeniran, explained that the upcoming "Covenant of Mercy" programme would focus on seeking divine intervention for these national and global challenges. 

He described Mount Horeb as a place of "encounter, instruction and transformation," where participants will gather to confront spiritual decline and economic hardship. 

Supporting this mission, the Conference Secretary General, Prophet Anthony Olusesan Samaye, stated that the event serves as a platform for faith leaders to "speak truth to power and stand as watchmen over the nations". 

The week-long ascension is scheduled to take place from May 3 to May 10, 2026, at the church’s international headquarters in Orile Igbon, Oyo State, and is expected to host various government officials, traditional rulers, and religious leaders.

"He is my younger brother. That very Sunday before the thing happened,  he told me his friend in Sapele asked him to pick Waybill so he bought Airtime and recharged my mom's phone cos his phone was bad.

 He later called the person with my mom's phone and the person sent him transport money that he'd use to pick up the item.

He asked me to tell him the shortest route he can take inorder to save little money from what his friend sent to him, and I directed him, then he left.

It was getting to evening and he never returned.  We became worried. One of his friends came and told us that they arrested 'OG' as he is popularly called in the area. We started calling his number but he never picked. 

On Monday morning,  my elder brother decided to search for him in all the whole stations including Epa and Mopol base but they said they never heard of the name before.  On Tuesday,  my elder brother revisited all the police stations one after the other but didn't still see him.

So we decided to post his picture yesterday online, I even sent the clearer version of the image to my husband too. Not too long, they sent my brother's d38ad body to my husband and my elder brother. They said they sh8t only his hands, we should wait and later, they said they have k1111d him".

Speaking through concerned community members, the victims accused Mr. Chinedu and his wife Mary a mother of One of sustained bullying, intimidation, and violent threats, allegedly rooted in family tensions over their mother not having a male child.

“We are living in fear. Chinedu has vowed to kill us or make us homeless,” one of the victims, Nkeuri reportedly said. “We have nowhere else to go, and nobody seems to be stopping him.”

It was gathered that the matter has already been reported to local vigilante groups and the community leadership, including the village Aladimma. However, residents claim that Mr. Chinedu has remained defiant, allegedly continuing his threats and insisting on driving the ladies out of their father's house.

Community members have expressed concern over the escalating situation, warning that failure to act swiftly could lead to serious consequences.

“This is no longer a family issue, it is a serious security concern,” a local resident stated. “Local Government Authority and Imo State government need to step in before lives are lost.”

Disregard Misinformation On Sanitation, Lagos Commissioner Tells Residents

The state Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tokunbo Wahab, said in Lagos that the residents should rather show commitment to the exercise to improve cleanliness and promote health.

Wahab gave the advice at a news conference on Friday in Lagos.

He said the exercise would hold monthly between 6.30 a.m. and 8.30 a.m. during which residents would be expected to clean their surroundings.

Wahab said the initiative was aimed at restoring the culture of environmental cleanliness and responsibility that declined over the years.

“Government cannot do it alone. Residents must take ownership of their environment,” he said.

He noted that key stakeholders, including transport unions, community development associations, market leaders and local government officials, were fully aligned with the programme.

The commissioner emphasised that awareness about the exercise would be continuous, describing it as critical to achieving the desired result.

According to him, environmental sanitation should be seen as a civic responsibility.

“We must prioritise public health and environmental safety,” he said.

Wahab cited global responses to crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic to underscore the importance of collective discipline and action.

He said that exemptions would be granted for essential service providers and emergency responders  during the exercise.

The commissioner urged Lagos residents to devote the two-hour period to cleaning their environments.

Mrs Temitope Dosumu, Head of Geocycle Nigeria at Lafarge Africa Plc., said the firm would support the initiative through waste collection and processing.

Dosumu said that the firm would focus on sorting and managing waste for industrial reuse in line with the company’s zero-waste goal.

Police Clampdown in Ijebu Ode: A Direct Assault on Democracy and Civic Freedom By Ayo Mojoyin

Police Clampdown in Ijebu Ode: A Direct Assault on Democracy and Civic Freedom By Ayo Mojoyin

Tension gripped Ijebu Ode on Wednesday following a controversial security operation that saw heavily armed operatives lay siege to key locations ahead of the BAT/OGD Empowerment Tour.

Reports confirm that officers, believed to be acting under the authority of the Nigeria Police Force, stormed the Obanta Club and sealed off access routes leading to the residence of former Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel. The sweeping restriction effectively shut out supporters, organisers, and community participants expected to be part of the empowerment programme.

Eyewitness accounts describe a coordinated show of force, with strategic roadblocks mounted across major entry points in Ijebu Ode. Movement was severely restricted, creating an atmosphere of intimidation that stands in stark contrast to the democratic ideals Nigeria claims to uphold.

The BAT/OGD Empowerment Tour widely regarded as a grassroots-driven initiative aligned with the political philosophy of Bola Ahmed Tinubu has, in recent months, served as a platform for community engagement, economic support, and constituency-based evaluation. Its growing acceptance across Ogun East makes the timing and nature of this police action not only suspicious but deeply troubling.

There is, as of now, no official explanation from the authorities to justify what many are already describing as an unjustifiable suppression of a lawful civic engagement. The silence from the police hierarchy only reinforces concerns about political interference and abuse of state power.

Let’s be clear: deploying armed security personnel to obstruct a peaceful empowerment initiative is not law enforcement it is repression. It sends a dangerous signal that political participation, when it does not align with certain interests, will be met with force.

This development must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. Nigeria’s democracy cannot thrive under the shadow of intimidation. The right to assemble, to engage, and to mobilise at the grassroots level is not a privilege granted by those in power it is a constitutional guarantee.

What played out in Ijebu Ode is not just an isolated incident, it is a test of Nigeria’s democratic resilience and if left unchecked, it sets a precedent that could embolden further acts of political suppression.

The people of Ogun East and indeed all Nigerians deserve better than this calculated display of force. The authorities must explain themselves, and more importantly, they must be held accountable.

"After 11years Of Marriage,I Woke Up To Videos,Pictures Of My Wife On IG,Married To Another Man–Ekpo

According to a report by The Cable on Monday, April 20, 2026, Roby Ekpo, a comedian and radio presenter, has spoken about challenges surrounding his estranged marriage with his wife, Mayowa Lambe, sharing details of what he described as a difficult and emotional period in his personal life.

The discussion emerged in an upcoming episode of the Honest Bunch podcast, where he reflected on events that he said led to the breakdown of the marriage after many years together.

In the conversation, Ekpo recounted that the marriage lasted for about 11 years before he became aware of developments that changed the course of their relationship.

He stated that he unexpectedly came across online content suggesting that his wife had entered into another marriage with a different man.

According to his account, the discovery came through videos and pictures circulating on social media, which he said left him surprised and struggling to understand the situation at the time.

He said, “After 11 years of marriage, I woke up to videos and pictures of my wife on Instagram getting married to another man.”

He further explained that the situation created emotional distress, especially given the length of time they had been together.

Ekpo described the experience as one that made him question earlier aspects of their relationship.

He suggested that he had believed the marriage was still intact before the emergence of the social media content that indicated otherwise.

His account focused on how the development unfolded and how it affected his perception of the relationship.

The media personality also made additional claims regarding issues within the marriage, including concerns about trust and communication.

He stated that he felt misled during the course of the relationship and raised allegations about decisions that were made privately without his knowledge.

One of the issues he mentioned involved family planning matters, where he suggested that contraceptive use was involved, which he believed affected their ability to have children during the marriage.

NGIJ Celebrates Media Icon, Moji Makanjuola at 70, Hails Legacy of Public-Interest Journalism

NGIJ Celebrates Media Icon, Moji Makanjuola at 70, Hails Legacy of Public-Interest Journalism

The Nigerian Guild of Investigative Journalists (NGIJ) has congratulated renowned journalist, broadcaster, and public health advocate, Chief (Dr.) Mrs. Moji Makanjuola, MFR, on the occasion of her 70th birthday, describing her as a defining voice in Nigeria’s media and development landscape.

In a statement released on Tuesday and signed by the President of the Guild, Mallam Abdulrahman Aliagan, the Guild said Aunty Moji’s life and career represent a rare blend of professionalism, compassion, and purposeful service, noting that she has consistently demonstrated how journalism can be deployed as a tool for national development, social transformation, and public enlightenment.

NGIJ recalled her distinguished career at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), where she built a reputation for integrity and depth, particularly in health and gender reporting. The Guild noted that her work marked a turning point in Nigerian journalism, as she moved beyond conventional reporting to embrace advocacy-driven storytelling that informs, educates, and saves lives.

According to the Guild, Makanjuola is widely regarded as a pioneer of health journalism in Nigeria, having bridged the gap between expert knowledge and public understanding. Through her efforts, critical issues such as maternal and child health, HIV/AIDS awareness, and disease prevention gained national attention, contributing to behavioural change and policy influence.

The statement also highlighted her leadership role in the Nigerian Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), where she served as National President and championed the advancement of women in media, strengthened professional standards, and promoted gender-sensitive reporting across the country.

NGIJ further commended her visionary establishment of the International Society for Media in Public Health (ISMPH), describing it as a landmark platform that has trained journalists, driven impactful health communication campaigns, and bridged the gap between the media, policymakers, and development partners.

The Guild noted that beyond her professional accomplishments, Aunty Moji remains a mentor, mother figure, and philanthropist whose influence has shaped generations of journalists and inspired countless youths, women, and vulnerable groups, adding that her conferment with the national honour of Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) is a fitting recognition of her contributions.

While celebrating her at 70, NGIJ urged media practitioners to emulate her legacy of integrity, courage, and public-interest journalism, emphasizing that her life’s work continues to demonstrate that the true power of the media lies in its ability to inform, inspire, and transform society.

Politics2027: Peter Obi, Kwankwaso supporters collapse structures into OK Movement

Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, supporters of Peter Obi and those of Rabiu Kwankwaso have collapsed their structures into OK Movement.

A statement signed by Justin Ijeh, its National Publicity Secretary, said that they believe that national renewal is not the task of a single tribe, but the duty of a united people.

The new Movement has vowed to unite Nigerians across divides to confront hardship, restore accountable leadership, and drive a decisive national rebirth.

The statement said: “Nigeria stands at a defining crossroads. Today, as our people endure the weight of unprecedented economic hardship, the soaring cost of living, and the persistent shadow of insecurity, the Obi–Kwankwaso (OK) Movement formally announces the unveiling of its national and state structures.

“This is more than a political milestone; it is the birth of a coordinated, nationwide engine for systemic reform and national rebirth.

“We recognise the exhaustion felt in every Nigerian household. From the farmer unable to harvest in safety to the entrepreneur stifled by a volatile economy, the struggle is real. Yet, in this moment of darkness, the OK Movement stands as a beacon of resolute hope.

“Our mission is anchored in a singular, unwavering conviction: Nigeria will be OK. We do not offer mere rhetoric; we offer a structured, disciplined pathway towards a country that works, not for the few, but for every citizen.

“The OK Movement is a home for all well-meaning Nigerians. We reject the tired politics of tribalism, regionalism, and religious sentiment that have long been used to keep our people divided while the nation falters.

“Our strength lies in our diversity, and our progress depends on our unity. We are mobilising from the grassroots to the capital, fostering a shared identity built on integrity, competence, and the collective responsibility to rescue our future. We believe that national renewal is not the task of a single tribe, but the duty of a united people.

“Our vision is deeply rooted in the highest aspirations of our land. We are guided by the profound prayer found in the third stanza of our National Anthem: ‘Oh God of all creation, grant this our one request. Help us to build a nation where no man is oppressed, and so, with peace and plenty, Nigeria may be blessed.’

“This is not merely a lyric; it is our blueprint. We seek to build a Nigeria where justice is a right, not a privilege, a nation where ‘plenty’ is shared through economic stability, and ‘peace’ is secured through decisive leadership.

“This is an open invitation to every Nigerian who believes that our current reality need not be our final destiny.

“Through solidarity, purposeful leadership, and the courage to demand better, we will prevail. The structures are set. The vision is clear. The movement is here. Together, we will make Nigeria OK.”

The extradition and handover of Hammed Akanbi (popularly known as Ahmed Ajiran) by Interpol

The extradition and handover of Hammed Akanbi (popularly known as Ahmed Ajiran) by Interpol to the Nigerian Police marks a major turning point in a multi-year murder investigation that has gripped the Ajiran community in Lagos.

Hammed Akanbi, a prominent businessman and CEO of Amtachek and Amrok Markham Company, was declared wanted by the Lagos State Police Command in February 2026. He is the prime suspect accused of masterminding the brutal murders of two prominent figures in the Ajiran community:

Sheriff Isola Salami: Assassinated on April 18, 2023, at an isolated building.Prince Ademola Akinloye: Shot and killed on August 26, 2024, in the Eti-Osa area.The breakthrough in the case occurred when the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, confirmed the arrest of two alleged hitmen, Sefiu Fatai (alias Fabo) and Yusuf Ismail (alias Baraka).

The suspects confessed to being hired by Akanbi to carry out the killings.They alleged they were paid ₦2 million for the assignments, with each member of the gang receiving ₦500,000.The weapons used included local pistols, axes, and machetes.Following the confession of the hitmen, Akanbi fled the country, leading the Nigerian Police Force to request an Interpol Red Notice.

The handover signifies the culmination of international cooperation to track Akanbi down. His return to Nigeria is seen as a significant victory for the "Justice for Ajiran" movement, which has seen community members and youths staging protests to demand accountability for the fallen princes.

Akanbi has been taken into custody by the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) and is expected to face multiple counts of conspiracy and murder at the Federal High Court. Legal experts and community leaders are monitoring the case closely, as it involves long-dormant murder probes that were only recently revived by the current police leadership.

A 21-year-old woman from Ipele in the Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State has accused a traditional ruler in her community of impregnating her

A 21-year-old woman from Ipele in the Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State has accused a traditional ruler in her community of impregnating her, coercing her into terminating the pregnancy, and subjecting her to threats, intimidation, and harassment.

The victim, Ifemide Kehinde, alleged that the monarch — whom she described as the Kabiyesi of her town — initially proposed to make her his second wife before the relationship turned abusive.

“Sir, my name is Ifemide Kehinde, 21 years old, from Ipele, Owo Local Government, Ondo State. I humbly seek your assistance regarding an issue between me and the Kabiyesi of my town. He proposed to me to be his second wife and I agreed,” she said.

Kehinde explained that the relationship led to pregnancy, which she claimed the monarch insisted must be terminated under threats.

“We had sex together and I got pregnant. He threatened me to abort it, which I did. I bled for three weeks and he ignored me. He has treated me unjustly,” she told SaharaReporters.

According to her, the situation worsened after the abortion, as she allegedly suffered prolonged health complications without support from the monarch.

“I went to the hospital when I was bleeding. They asked me to do a scan but it was weekend, everywhere was closed. I had to use the little money I had to buy drugs and pads. After taking the drugs for five days, the bleeding stopped, but I have been feeling pains since then, every month,” she said.

Kehinde further alleged that the monarch used intermediaries, including aides and associates, to send her money for the abortion and later intimidate her into silence.

“He didn’t give me the money directly. He sent his civil defence to send it through POS. I didn’t want to abort it, but he threatened to kill me. He said I would go missing,” she alleged.

The young woman also accused the monarch of orchestrating harassment campaigns against her, including giving her phone number to others who allegedly insulted and defamed her.

“This is the girl Kabiyesi gave my number to be abusing me. She cursed me and said I have aborted three pregnancies and that my womb is spoiled. Everything is in the voice notes,” she said.

She added that multiple individuals, including a woman identified as Tomiwa and a man named Kazeem, allegedly confirmed aspects of the incident in voice recordings she claimed to possess.

“There are many voice notes—of him, the girl he gave my number to, his media aide, his civil defence, his friend, even his cousin. They are all involved,” Kehinde said.

She further alleged a pattern of misconduct by the monarch involving other young women in the palace.

“One of the girls said she is tired of him, that he is a womaniser and what he is doing with young girls in the palace is too much. She said she would not come back to the palace again,” Kehinde claimed.

The victim said she had submitted petitions to the Commissioner of Police, the Ondo State Governor, and the Chieftaincy Affairs office but had yet to receive justice.

“Despite submitting petitions, it appears his influence is affecting the process. I have all necessary evidence and copies of the petitions submitted,” she said.

Recounting continued threats, Kehinde added, “He called me on April 1 and started threatening me again. He didn’t allow me to speak and was laying curses on those supporting me. He wants to kill me. Please help me, I am dying.”

She also claimed that police investigations had begun, including visits to locations connected to the incident.

“Police have visited the hotel and the manager confirmed it to them. I also took the police to where I bought the drugs,” she said.

FG Bans Importation of Paracetamol, Painkillers, Other Essential Drugs

FG Bans Importation of Paracetamol, Painkillers, Other Essential Drugs

The Federal Government has announced a sweeping ban on the importation of several essential goods, including widely used drugs such as paracetamol and other painkillers.

The decision is part of a revised import prohibition list aimed at strengthening local industries and reducing pressure on foreign exchange.

The updated directive, released by the Federal Ministry of Finance and dated April 1, 2026, outlines seventeen categories of items that are no longer allowed into the country through any port.

The move signals a tougher stance by authorities as they push for increased local production across key sectors.

One of the most striking aspects of the policy is the restriction placed on pharmaceutical products. The government has banned the importation of commonly used medicines, including paracetamol tablets and syrups, metronidazole, cotrimoxazole, and chloroquine. Other essential drugs such as aspirin, folic acid, and multivitamins are also affected.

Ointments and antibiotics, including penicillin and gentamycin, have also been placed on the prohibited list. With this, the responsibility for supplying these critical healthcare products now shifts almost entirely to local pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Authorities insist the move will encourage growth in the domestic drug industry and reduce dependence on foreign supplies.

The directive also maintains a strict ban on the importation of pharmaceutical waste, reinforcing concerns about public health and environmental safety.

Beyond healthcare, the government has extended restrictions to the agricultural sector. The importation of poultry, whether live or frozen, remains banned. This includes birds and related products under various classifications. Pork, beef, and eggs are also restricted, although limited exceptions have been made for specialized breeding and research purposes.

In the food segment, refined vegetable oils packaged in small retail sizes have been prohibited. However, crude vegetable oils and certain industrial fats are still allowed into the country for manufacturing purposes. The policy appears designed to support local refining capacity while keeping industrial production running.

The ban also affects several everyday consumer goods. Items such as sugar in retail packs, tomato paste, and bottled water are now restricted. The government is clearly targeting products that can be produced locally, in a bid to stimulate domestic industries and create jobs.

The hygiene sector has not been left out. All forms of soaps and detergents meant for retail sale are now barred from importation. This is expected to boost local manufacturers, although it may raise concerns about supply and pricing in the short term.

Even simple items like ballpoint pens and their refills have been included in the prohibition list, though pen tips are still allowed for importation. This suggests a push to encourage local assembly and production.

In the industrial sector, restrictions have been maintained on materials such as bagged cement and certain fertilizers. Packaging materials like cartons and paper boards also remain banned, alongside specific glass products and steel sheets.

With the Nigeria Customs Service set to begin full enforcement, importers and businesses are expected to adjust quickly. Failure to comply could lead to seizure of goods and possible legal action.

The policy is already generating reactions from stakeholders, especially in the health sector, where concerns are growing over whether local manufacturers can meet the nation’s demand for essential medicines.Nigerian business directory

When I Went to America, I Met a White Man and He Begged Me to Stay Back and Marry Him - Adewunmi

When I Went to America, I Met a White Man and He Begged Me to Stay Back and Marry Him - Adewunmi

Yoruba Nollywood actress Juwon Adewunmi has opened up about her long break from the screen and the surprising love story behind it.

Speaking in an interview on Talk to B podcast, Adewunmi explained why fans have seen less of her in recent years.

She shared how a trip to America changed her life completely.

During that visit, she met a white man who begged her to stay back and marry him instead of returning to Nigeria.

Adewunmi did not agree right away. She told him that if he truly wanted to marry her, he would have to come to Nigeria first.

She insisted on doing all the necessary family rites and introduction according to Yoruba custom.

The man agreed. They got married. After the wedding, her husband advised her to wait until she had the proper papers.

He wanted her to be able to go in and out of the country anytime without trouble. He also promised not to disturb her acting career.

That waiting period took time. Processing the documents was slow, as it often is.

Adewunmi stayed mostly off the movie set during those years. Now, she said God has done it. She has her papers and can travel freely.

Her words: "When I went to America, I met a white man. He begged me to stay back with him and not return to Nigeria. I told him that if he really wanted to marry me, he would have to come to Nigeria to do the necessary rites and introduction. We got married. He then told me to wait until I had papers that would allow me to go in and out of the country anytime I liked. He said he was not going to disturb my career. That was how we started. And you know it takes time to process the papers and all. Now, God has done it, and I can now go in and out freely."

Why We Dismissed Soldier Who Told Politicians To Send Their Children To Battlefield

Why We Dismissed Soldier Who Told Politicians To Send Their Children To Battlefield 

The Nigerian Army has given reasons for dismissing former soldier Rotimi Olamilekan, also known as Soja Boi.

Naija News reports that the army said his dismissal was due to repeated acts of indiscipline and not because of his viral video about political leaders.

The clarification was made on Tuesday in a statement released by Appolonia Anele, who serves as the Acting Director of Army Public Relations.

The Army explained that Olamilekan’s removal followed several violations of military rules, including breaking the Armed Forces’ social media guidelines.

The Army stated that its operations are guided by strict rules and that every soldier is expected to follow them.

It explained that actions such as appearing in the media without approval, using military identity for personal gain, creating content linked to politics, and wearing military uniform inappropriately go against its regulations.

According to the statement, Olamilekan’s case was handled through proper military procedures before the final decision was taken.

The military body also said it remains focused on discipline, accountability, and the welfare of its personnel.

It added that decisions about postings and duties are based on operational needs and not influenced by public opinion.

The Army urged Nigerians to ignore claims suggesting that the soldier was punished for speaking about the challenges faced by troops. It described such reports as misleading and aimed at gaining public sympathy.

It also warned that spreading unverified information could weaken trust in the military and affect the morale of soldiers.

Olamilekan became widely known in February 2026 after posting a video where he called on governors, senators, and ministers to allow their children join the military at lower ranks so they could understand what soldiers experience.

The video gained attention across social media and led to mixed reactions from the public.

Following the video, people close to him claimed he was arrested and kept in custody for weeks, which led to an online campaign demanding his release.

After regaining freedom in March 2026, he thanked supporters who spoke up for him during that period.
