The Concerned Fulani People of Nigeria has called on international actors, including the United States, to avoid framing the Fulani ethnic group as the primary source of insecurity in Nigeria, warning that such narratives could worsen ethnic tensions and deepen mistrust across communities.

In a statement signed by Ibrahim Barkindo Chubado, the group criticised what it described as inconsistent external reporting on Nigeria’s security situation, particularly claims linking Fulani communities to widespread violence and banditry.

The group said earlier assessments from US-linked reporting had cautioned against ethnic generalisation, arguing that recent narratives appear to contradict those warnings.

It also referenced past insecurity debates during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, when public discussions often linked Fulani identity to security challenges in parts of the country. According to the statement, such framing contributed to hostility against Fulani communities, including attacks on settlements, destruction of property and loss of livestock in some regions.

The group argued that conflicts involving herders and farmers are frequently more complex than ethnic explanations suggest, citing land use disputes, environmental pressures and local political factors. It stated that many Fulani families in states such as Benue, Plateau and Taraba have lived in those areas for generations and should not be treated as outsiders or blanket suspects.

The statement also rejected reports attributed to international bodies that allegedly linked “Fulani militants” to large-scale insecurity, describing such claims as “unfair stereotyping” that could inflame divisions.

It maintained that insecurity in Nigeria involves multiple actors and cannot be attributed to any single ethnic or religious group, pointing to banditry, terrorism, separatist violence and communal clashes across different regions.

The group urged both international partners and Nigerian authorities to adopt evidence-based reporting and avoid narratives that risk undermining national unity. “Nigeria’s future cannot be built on ethnic scapegoating, mutual suspicion or divisive narratives,” the statement concluded.

"Following forensic analysis of the suspects’ digital footprints, the mother and daughter were arrested for their active involvement in a romance scam operation.

"Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing suspect, Emmanuel Amanfo, who is the husband of Urowhe Diana and step-father of Rokibat Oluwasheyi Imoru.

It was also resolved that after the four years single term, the Presidential ticket will be automatically zoned to the north.

A source said two suspects were moved into the Effurun Area Command under the Delta State Police Command Wednesday night, as investigations continues towards apprehending all persons connected with movement of the gun and bullets, and the death of 28 year old Mine.

While the Police authorities keep mum on the development, a source told Vanguard, “It’s confirmed. They just brought in two suspects Wednesday night.

“It’s not been announced who is who yet, but I can tell you for free that one of them is the person who sent the gun through a transport line from Yenagoa to Effurun, from where Mine picked it to send to a Sapele owner at the Effurun Motor Park where he was caught and extrajudicially killed by ASP Nuhu and accomplices.

“Like I sad, it’s not clear if the other person among the two could be the driver who brought the parcel from Yenagoa. But it’s clear that the sender is among the duo just apprehended. And the trail continues for the other suspects.”

While the matter is being investigated for breach of the Armed Forces’ Social Media Policy and an attempt to misinform the public, preliminary report reveals that the soldiers discussed wide range of issues with Justice Chidiebere who seemed to be inciting soldiers to create discontent within the system. An example was a chat bothering on subversion which Chidiebere had with the soldiers. It is important to state that a situation where civilians cultivate vulnerable personnel towards acts of subversion has far-reaching implications on discipline and national security.

The Nigerian Army remains committed to the rule of law and will continue to collaborate with relevant agencies to ensure justice is served. We will continue to act within the ambits of the law in safeguarding our sovereignty.

A Nigerian woman identified as Rose has reportedly lost her sanity after allegedly confessing to the murd€r of her friend, Mngusuur Gloria Pever. The claim was made public by the brother of the deceased, who linked Rose’s current state to the alleged confession.

Gloria, a Benue State indigene who reportedly died on Valentine’s Day in 2024. Gloria’s brother, Gabriel Pever, provided an update on the case via a social media statement on Thursday, April 30, 2026, claiming Gloria was poisoned.

“Even in d3ath, you are powerful more than them, (your jealous friends), she has confessed, she has ran mad,” Pever wrote.

“Thank you God for your vengeance. Vengeance is mine says the Lord of Host!! Late Mngusuur Gloria Pever Aka Glogold, your friend is mad!! I mean Rose is mad!!. What a world. You warned me never to revenge your d3ath. I comply with a heavy heart, but now vengeance has taken its place. Keep resting in peace my love.”

Commenting on the post, a friend, Jimmy Ahula revealed that he had tried to keep Gloria away from Rose but failed.

According to him, Rose is “diabolical and spiritual.”

“Rose!!? Ahaah!! I thought as much.... because back then I tried and tried and tried to make Gloria keep a wide gap from this serpent called Rose, but it didn't work,” he wrote.

"Events and issues came up occasionally that were obvious the lady was highly diabolical and spiritual. She never liked me personally because she knew I was seeing through her like a transparent bag.

"She was manipulating Gloria like a toy. It's quite unfortunate, she had her way, but today nemesis has caught up with her. She hasn't seen anything yet.

“She won't only be mad, she will suffer, and suffer and suffer before dying a painful and disgraceful death. This is just the beginning. While she is paying for her sins, my love is resting comfortably with the Lord. Rest on my dear. You have won the battle even in d3ath.”

“It is unfortunate that Obi has turned himself into an irony and a paradox in the Nigerian political space. He has become an ‘Uber’ politician, unwilling to take a position and stand by his decision,”

7 Congolese and Ugandan nationals arrested for swindling Nigerian businessman out of $70,000 in fake gold scam

The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SH-ACU) in Uganda, working alongside the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), has arrested seven people accused of swindling a Nigerian businessman out of USD 70,000 in a sophisticated fake gold deal.

The suspects — four Congolese and three Ugandan nationals, allegedly posed as suppliers and agents for two companies, Legacy Refinery Limited and Emerod Agency Limited, convincing Mr. Mark Gbillah that they could deliver seven kilograms of gold. Investigations later revealed that neither company had any genuine gold to supply.

Those arrested have been named as Paluku Kisasi, Safari Akonkwa, Isaac Mpende, Abdul Madjid Kahirima, Mabwongo Prince, Kajjubi Tevin Kyome, and Tibasiima Barbra, alias Katushabe Sharon.

Addressing journalists at the Unit’s offices at the Parliamentary Building in Kampala on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, Senior Officer Mr. Bamwiine Muhorozi said the operation was set in motion after the victim reported the matter.

“We worked with Mr. Gbillah to set up a controlled meeting with the suspects, leading to their arrest before they could solicit more money,” he said.

A search of the suspects’ rented premises in Muyenga uncovered about 150 kilograms of fake gold bars and imitation gold nuggets, allegedly used to lure unsuspecting investors.

The arrests come amid a surge in gold fraud targeting foreign business people.

Earlier this year, a Turkish investor lost Shs 550 million (about USD 150,000) in a similar scam, while in mid-2024 another businessman was defrauded of USD 105,000 in a bogus deal involving 20 kilograms of non-existent gold.

Regional data shows that between early 2021 and March 2022, investors in Uganda and Kenya lost an estimated USD 25 million to gold scams, with some cases involving more than USD 8 million.

Mr. Bamwiine noted that while SH-ACU has intercepted several gold scams in recent years, this case was significant because the suspects were caught in the act.

He urged investors to verify business transactions with the relevant authorities and to promptly report suspicious dealings.

The suspects are expected to be charged in court in the coming days.

The FCT Police Command has arrested four individuals in connection with a staged kidnapping designed to extort the sum of five million naira (₦5,000,000) from an elderly man by his two daughters and their accomplices.

The spokesperson for the FCT Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, made this known on Tuesday.

Adeh said, “On 30th July 2025, at about 11:30 am, one Mr. Innocent, a resident of Jikwoyi Phase II, reported to the Jikwoyi Police Division that his 16 year old daughter, Miss LeadWay Innocent, left home on 18th July 2025 to sit for an examination at Government Secondary School, Karu, Abuja, and had not returned.

“He subsequently received a phone call from unknown persons demanding a ransom for her release.

“Upon receipt of the report, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Jikwoyi Division immediately launched a discreet investigation.

“Through coordinated intelligence gathering and digital tracking, the phone number used to contact the complainant was traced to a residence in Jikwoyi Phase II.

“Operatives proceeded to the location, where they found Miss LeadWay Innocent in the company of one Mrs. Tina Mayowa, the wife of Mr. Mayowa Adedeji.

‘Both individuals were seen eating and conversing freely, indicating no signs of distress.

“Subsequent investigations led to the arrest of Miss Joy Innocent (the elder sister of the alleged victim) and her boyfriend, Mr. Mayowa Adedeji.

Findings revealed that Joy conspired with her boyfriend, who is legally married to Mrs. Tina Mayowa, to stage the kidnapping of her younger sister, LeadWay Innocent, in a calculated attempt to defraud their father of ₦5 million.

“Mama, I’m sorry for not listening when you warned me about this boy. Please look after my daughter." These were the final words Nompumelelo Gamede spoke to her mother, Shirley Mlanjeni, before slipping into a coma in the ICU after she was allegedly set alight by her boyfriend Mpumelelo Hill in Emalahleni, Mpumalanga, last week.

According to Mpumalanga police, Nompumelelo, 21, and another woman, who is the suspect’s sister, were doused with petrol and set on fire.

The suspect's sister had reportedly tried to intervene and became a target herself.

A day before Nompumelelo’s passing, doctors informed the family that her condition had deteriorated and that her kidneysbhad failed. They also said she was no longer responding to medication.

"When she arrived at the hospital, she told me she couldn’tbfeel her body anymore,” said Mlanjeni.

"She said, ‘Mama, I’m sorry for not listening when you warnedbme about this boy. Please look after my daughter.’ I told her, ‘You can’t do this to me,’ and those were her last words before she was taken into ICU.

On Sunday, exactly 10 days after the incident, the familybreceived the devastating call that Nompumelelo had succumbed to her injuries.

During a visit on Saturday, doctors had told the family that more than 60% of Nompumelelo’s body had been severely burned. That same day, they also learned that the second victim had died from her injuries.

“We thought she was making progress,” Mlanjeni recalled.

“But the doctor told us her kidneys were shutting down. After hearing that the other girl had passed, we were terrified. Now our family is shattered.

Nompumelelo had been in a relationship with the suspect for nearly three years. They shared a daughter, who was under the care of the suspect’s parents.

According to the family, the suspect and his sister moved in next door a few years ago after their grandmother passed away. That’s when he met Nompumelelo.

On the morning of the fire, Nompumelelo’s aunt and other community members saw smoke rising from the house. Theybrushed over and allegedly found Hill sitting calmly in the diningnroom, claiming he didn’t know where the keys for the burglar door were.

“I wasn’t paying much attention to their relationship until last year when I found out he was abusing her. Her aunt would often hear things being broken in the house during their fights,” said another family member.

“Just a week before the fire, they had another big argument.

He was so angry he smashed the kitchen windows with his bare fists. Then, as always, he’d try to make amends after the fight, replacing whatever he broke and acting remorseful.

“He used to ask his mother to take him to a traditional healer to ‘find out what was wrong with him,’ but once he got money, he never followed through. It became a cycle of violence and empty promises.”

Mlanjeni said the fire broke out around 6.30am and thebcommunity tried to put it out but there was no water and even their efforts of dousing it with soil failed.

"When I arrived, I peered through the burglar gate. My daughter’s boyfriend was sitting calmly on the sofa while the fire raged. His sister and Nompumelelo were screaming for help from the bedroom. He just sat there, drinking alcohol.

When people begged him to unlock the gate, he claimed he didn’t have the keys,” Mlanjeni recalled.

Her aunt and local residents managed to break down the burglar bars with a spade, but the bedroom door was also locked.

“We broke that down too and dragged the girls out. They were immediately rushed to the clinic."

Hill's sister, who was briefly able to speak, confirmed that her brother had poured petrol inside the bedroom and lockedbthem in.

Hill is expected to appear for the second time at Emalahleni magistrate's court for his bail application on Thursday.
