Former President Joe Biden is entering a new phase of treatment for the prostate cancer he was diagnosed with in May.

Biden is now undergoing radiation therapy, a spokesperson for the former president told Fox News on Saturday. Previously, he had been receiving routine scans, the spokesperson added.

"As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment," the spokesperson said.

Biden was diagnosed four months ago with an "aggressive form" of metastatic prostate cancer after health officials detected a prostate nodule following increasing urinary symptoms. His office said the disease, though aggressive, is hormone-sensitive, meaning it may be effectively managed.

Biden, who turns 83 years old next month, also underwent surgery on Sept. 4 to remove cancerous skin cells through a procedure known as Mohs surgery, according to his spokesperson.

During his presidency, Biden had a cancerous skin lesion removed from his chest, the White House previously said. Former White House physician Kevin O’Connor noted in February 2023 that a biopsy of skin tissue taken during a health assessment revealed cancerous cells, all of which were successfully removed.

Biden, who became the oldest U.S. president to serve in office, had placed a major focus on cancer treatment.

While in office, he and former first lady Jill Biden revamped the "Cancer Moonshot" initiative to accelerate progress in cancer research. The project aimed to reduce the cancer death rate by 50% over the next 25 years.

In 1988, Biden had two life-threatening brain aneurysms at 45 years old. Doctors said he had a 50% chance of surviving while serving as a U.S. senator for Delaware.

Biden’s surgeries were successful, and there have been no reports of an aneurysm since.

The news of Biden's radiation treatment comes as President Donald Trump was reported to be in "excellent overall health," according to a memo released by the White House on Friday.

Trump underwent a routine semiannual physical last week at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

In the evaluation summary, the president's physician, Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, stated that Trump, "remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance."

Zlatan Ibrahimović buys himself an exotic Ferrari F80 worth $4.4 MN as 44th Birthday Gift

Swedish soccer icon Zlatan Ibrahimović buys a new Ferrari every year for his birthday, and this year it’s the new Ferrari F80.

Ibrahimović has been doing this for a while now.

His supercar collection must be huge.

And he also owns a limited-edition vehicle that’s very difficult to buy.

Zlatan’s newest car isn’t cheap
After earning seven or eight figures per year for most of his career, Zlatan Ibrahimović’s net worth is not insignificant.

And Ibrahimović spends some of that cash on cars, usually Ferraris, usually on his birthday.

The retired soccer star has been doing this every year for a while now.

Every year on his birthday, October 3rd, Ibrahimović showcases his new wheels on Instagram.

This year, he bought a brand-new Ferrari F80.

Unveiled about a year ago as Ferrari’s latest ‘halo car’, the F80 has a V6 and an electric motor, and it produces 1,200ps, equivalent to 1,183hp.

And it isn’t cheap, with prices starting at $4.4 million.

Ibrahimović does this every year for his birthday.

Last year, he celebrated his 43rd birthday with a brand-new SF90.

And then, a few years ago, he bought a Ferrari Monza.

Only a few people in the world are lucky enough to own a Ferrari Monza SP.

You need money, of course, but more importantly, you need to be invited and approved to buy one.

The Monza was introduced in two versions: the single-seater SP1 and the SP2, which has room for a passenger.

Like most celebrities, Ibra opted for the SP2.

This series was produced in a limited run, with fewer than 500 leaving the factory floor.

The price at the time was around $2 million, which sounds like a bargain today, considering you need at least $3 million to buy one in the pre-owned market.

SP1s tend to be more expensive, probably because there are fewer of those.

The price of an SP1 on Facebook Marketplace is $4.9 million.

A mild drama unfolded aboard an Ibom Air flight from Uyo to Abuja on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, when a passenger was arrested for allegedly stealing N290,000 from a foreign traveller moments before takeoff.

The incident occurred around 7:00 a.m., shortly after boarding was completed. Eyewitnesses said the foreign passenger raised an alarm after discovering that the cash he had kept in his bag, stored in the overhead compartment, was missing.

Cabin crew immediately launched an investigation, during which another passenger reportedly claimed to have seen the suspect tampering with the victim’s bag. When confronted, the suspect denied any involvement.

The foreigner insisted that ¦ 290,000 had disappeared from his bag, prompting a search of the suspect’s hand luggage. Nothing was found at first, but tension grew when another passenger suggested a body search.

Witnesses said the suspect became visibly nervous, leading to a more thorough search that uncovered the missing money hidden in his socks and under his seat. Airport security was promptly alerted, and the suspect was escorted off the aircraft and handed over to airport authorities for further investigation.The incident sparked reactions of shock and disappointment among passengers. The flight later departed for Abuja after the situation was resolved.As of press time, Ibom Air had yet to issue an official statementon the incident.

A magistrate court in Kano has ordered the remand of Ashiru Idris, the TikToker better known as Mai Wushirya, at a correctional centre for allegedly posting “indecent videos” involving a dwarf woman.

Halima Wali, the presiding judge, on Monday directed that the social media influencer be held in custody for two weeks pending further hearing.

Last week, officials of the Kano State Censorship Board arrested Mai Wushirya after videos showing him shirtless and engaging in “immoral and demeaning acts” went viral online.

The board argued that the clips violated the state’s laws prohibiting the production, posting, or circulation of obscene or sexually suggestive content.

Speaking after the court session, Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, spokesperson of the censorship board, confirmed that the court also ordered the appearance of the woman featured in the video.

“The court has also ordered his partner to appear in court before the hearing continues. Even before we arraigned him, we tried to get him to cooperate with us to locate her, but he refused,” he said.

“However, now that the court has ordered it, I’m sure we will be successful in bringing her.”

Sulaiman disclosed that preliminary investigations suggest the woman may have fled to Zamfara, but efforts are underway to track her down and bring her back to Kano for trial alongside the TikToker.

“The next hearing is expected to be held after the two-week remand period,” he added.

The Kano state government has in recent months intensified its crackdown on social media content creators accused of promoting immorality or breaching censorship regulations.

Several TikTokers, skit makers, and musicians have been arrested or sanctioned for producing or sharing content deemed offensive.

Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other relevant authorities to begin verifying the academic and professional credentials of all political candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Obi said the credibility of Nigeria’s democracy depends on truth, transparency, and integrity in the leadership selection process

“As we approach the 2027 general elections, INEC and all relevant agencies must take decisive steps to verify and authenticate all academic and professional certificates of every candidate—from the President down to local government councillors,” Obi said in a tweet on Thursday.

“We cannot continue to allow dishonesty and criminality to sit at the heart of leadership.

“As a matter of urgency, this is the time for a comprehensive national review of the qualification and background verification process for all public office holders.

“Other nations, like Ghana, have set an example by thoroughly cross-checking the educational claims and credentials of all candidates before elections. Nigeria must not do less.”

He made the call while commending the resignation of Uche Nnaji, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, who stepped down amid controversy over alleged discrepancies in his academic records.

Obi described Nnaji’s decision as “a decent and honourable step,” noting that accountability in public office should be a standard, not an exception.

The former Anambra State governor also referenced the 2018 resignation of former Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun over a similar credentials scandal.

He noted that “these instances remind us that such matters are not trivial; they constitute serious criminal offences.”

He criticized INEC for what he described as a lack of due diligence in verifying certificates submitted by candidates.

Obi then urged the commission to immediately start a thorough review of all documents submitted by political aspirants from presidential candidates to local government councillors.

Obi noted that the integrity of the 2027 elections must be built on accountability and transparency from the onset.

‘It is appalling that our electoral body carries out little or no due diligence in confirming certificates submitted by candidates. Continuous discrepancies, false declarations, and forged credentials undermine the credibility of our democracy. If we truly desire a free, fair, and credible 2027 election, the process of integrity must begin now,” he stated.

“INEC has enough time to investigate past complaints about various forms of forgery and false claims. Every incumbent and aspiring candidate must submit all academic certificates immediately for verification and public accessibility, clearly detailing schools attended from primary to university level.

“Let truth, transparency, and accountability form the foundation of leadership in our dear country. Only then can we build a Nigeria where public service is anchored on honour, not deceit. We must get it right.”

Hello op, I think I was wrong with my initial comment.

This is a rough, raw diamond, but it doesn't have much value, sadly. Sold around $60.

All the best @ essenjack

Chief Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the Iyaloja-General and daughter of President Bola Tinubu, along with Niger State Governor, Umar Bago; Minister of Youth and Sports, Ayodele Olawande; and Chairman of the Nigerian Community in Greater Manchester, Alhaji Abiola Kumoye, are expected to attend the Nigeria @65 National Day celebration in Manchester this Saturday.

Several entertainment figures, including Zack Orji, Saidi Balogun, Nino B, Seyi Law, Konga, and Danfo Driver, are also billed to perform at the event.

Speaking with Tribune Online on Tuesday evening, Kumoye said the celebration aims to honour Nigeria’s heritage, culture, and national identity beyond its borders.

He explained that the annual event serves as a reminder of the country’s journey and promotes unity among Nigerians living abroad.

“The Nigerian community in Greater Manchester, like many Nigerian diaspora communities worldwide, celebrates Nigeria’s Independence Anniversary as a way to honor our heritage, culture, and national identity, even while living abroad.

“Celebrating Nigeria’s 64th Independence Anniversary in Manchester, United Kingdom, allows us to reflect on our nation’s journey, share our cultural values, and foster a sense of unity among Nigerians in the diaspora.

“Such events also provide an opportunity to educate others about Nigerian history, showcase the richness of Nigerian culture through food, music, and dance, and promote positive contributions that Nigerians make in the UK.

“It helps to strengthen ties within the Nigerian community and maintain a connection to home, while also acknowledging the shared history and experiences that bind them to Nigeria, regardless of location,” Kumoye said.

A 43-year-old man has been charged in connection with an attempted arson at the mosque in Headlands, Kettering.

Arif Ali Rafiq, a British-born Asian man, of Harlestone Road, Northampton, has been charged with attempted arson with intent to endanger life.

The charge relates to an incident on the afternoon of Sunday, October 5, when an attempt was made to set fire to the front door of the mosque.

Rafiq will appear at Northampton Magistrates’ Court this morning (October 7).

The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has commenced mobilisation of its members across all the universities in the country for an imminent nationwide strike action over the failure of the Federal Government to address the demands of the union.

ASUU had last week issued a 14-day nationwide strike notice to the Federal Government to resolve all outstanding issues, including the conclusion of the renegotiation of the contentious 2009 FGN-ASUU agreement.

Irked by the tepid responses ASUU gets from the Federal Government, especially the silence it has maintained after the union has served the Minister of Education, Dr Olatunji Alausa and Minister of Labour and Employment, Maigari Dingyadi, the two-week ultimatum, the lecturers said they have no other option left than to mobilise their members to shut the universities on the expiration of the 14-day strike.

According to the union, the strike notice, starting from Sunday, September 28, 2025, would first herald a two-week warning strike before embarking on a total and indefinite strike action.

ASUU President, Prof. Chris Piwuna, in a latest memo to all branches of the union, said the union had no choice but to shut down universities through strike action in response to the government’s conduct.

Piwuna, in the memorandum dated October 5, 2025, and sighted by Tribune Online on Monday, expressed regret that there had been no meaningful progress toward resolving the issue.

He said, “The National Executive Council (NEC) of our Union, at its emergency meeting of 29th September, 2025, having evaluated the results of the referendum held across our branches, resolved to give the government a fourteen-day ultimatum to resolve the issues contained in the negotiated document which has been transmitted to the government since February, 2025.

“It was further resolved that the union will proceed on a two-week warning strike at the expiration of the ultimatum if the government fails to take acceptable and satisfactory steps to address the lingering issues.

“The resolutions were immediately communicated to the Honourable Minister of Labour, the Honourable Minister of Education and the Nigeria Labour Congress.

“It is now one week since those resolutions were reached and communicated to the appropriate authorities. I regret to inform you that there is no meaningful development deserving of any consideration to be reported.

“As we enter the second and final week of the ultimatum, | thank you on behalf of NEC for the patience and understanding which you demonstrated since the commencement of this torturous negotiation that has unjustifiably lasted over eight years.

“The goal of our current action remains principally to compel the government to sign and implement the renegotiated agreement document, amongst other demands.

“The days ahead call for the mobilisation of every member of our union to ensure unity of purpose. No one should be left out of the struggle for our welfare, stem the Jupa syndrome and reposition the Nigerian University System (NUS) for global competitiveness.

“We are strong when we organise, but weakened when we agonise! Our Union has always acted in solidarity as a collective; this action will not be different.

“Members are to take instructions only from their chairpersons. When in doubt, members should consult their chairpersons, zonal coordinators and attend congress meetings regularly for updates on further developments.”

Some of the demands of ASUU over time include: renegotiation of the 2009 agreement, funding of universities, particularly, revitalisation fund, promotion arrears, and academic earned allowance, among others.

President of ASUU Piwuna had earlier called on all well-meaning Nigerian citizens, religious and traditional rulers, parents, students, and all other stakeholders in the education sector to press the Nigerian government to turn its attention to Nigerian public universities to address the challenges in the system.

The ASUU President accused the Federal Government of paying scant attention to the demands of the union, recalling that in recent times, ASUU has been engaging the press very frequently.
