The Army reportedly received a distress call during early on Thursday that Boko Haram terrorists were attacking a neighbouring community and they quickly mobilised themselves to rescue the community. No fewer than seven operatives of the Nigerian Army have been confirmed dead after their vehicle hit an explosive in Mugunu area of Maiduguri in Borno State, SaharaReporters has gathered. On Thursday morning, the vehicle reportedly hit an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) suspected to have been planted by Boko Haram along the Gamboru Ngala-Maiduguri Road in Borno State. The Army reportedly received a distress call during early on Thursday that Boko Haram terrorists were attacking a neighbouring community and they quickly mobilised themselves to rescue the community. In response to the Boko Haram siege, the commandant ordered the deployment of three vehicles carrying armed soldiers to the community. Tragically, one of the vehicles struck an electro-explosive device (EED) in the Mugunu area of Maiduguri, resulting in the loss of all but one of the soldiers on board. This is not the first time Boko Haram has planted IEDs in the area, as a resident of Gamboru Ngala reported that many vehicles travelling on the road have been damaged by IEDs. SaharaReporters obtained distressing videos and images showing soldiers grappling with the gruesome task of recovering and reassembling the dismembered remains of their comrades, who were tragically killed by an explosive device on Thursday morning. A military source said: “They (referring to the deceased soldiers) were called that a neighbouring community is under attack by Boko Haram. “So their commandant said they should go. So they moved with the commandant around 5 am (on Thursday) in a convoy. The first and second vehicles passed, his own was the third, the EED device exploded and scattered all of them in the vehicle. They were seven.” “We are waiting for their official call because they said they would look for their parts and pack them to the morgue and attach their service number before they contact family members of the deceased soldiers,” the source added. At the time of filing this report, information about the identities of the deceased remained limited. However, according to reliable sources, SaharaReporters has confirmed that one of the victims has been identified as Luke, a native of Cross River State. https://saharareporters.com/2024/07/26/breaking-explosive-device-kills-7-nigerian-soldiers-mission-save-borno-community-boko |

Students of some tertiary institutions in Lagos State have said rather than joining a nationwide protest scheduled for August 1 to 10, they have resolved to embark on a solidarity walk in support of the state government on the same day. The students on Tuesday distanced themselves from the planned national protest by some Nigerians, tagged ‘#EndBad Governance in Nigeria,’ to draw the attention of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to the plight of Nigerians, hunger, and rising cost of living in the country. The students, under the aegis of the National Association of Nigerian Students in Lagos, said the “Solidarity Walk” would be held to support and encourage the government of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who they said has been of great support to them. Speaking to journalists during a press conference at the Lagos State University College of Medicine, Ikeja, after a joint meeting, student leaders across tertiary institutions in Lagos State said their solidarity walk would also be held from August 1 to 10 to drum for peace, especially to ensure that the ugly incident of #EndSARS” of 2020 does not repeat itself. The chairman, NANS, Lagos axis, Lekan Alimi, who addressed journalists on behalf of the students of various tertiary institutions in the state, described the planned nationwide protests against hardship in the country as “absolutely uncalled for.” Alimi, flanked by the President of the National Association of Lagos State Students, Hafiz Olufowobi; chairman, National Association of University Students (Lagos Chapter), Miracle Yemoh; Assistant General Secretary (South-West), National Association of Polytechnic Students, Zainab Yakub; Chairman, National Female Students Association of Nigeria (Lagos Chapter), Titilayo Ekindayo; and Presidents of the Students Union of tertiary institutions in the state, said rather than joining the protest, students would prefer constructive dialogue with governments in achieving collective goals. While noting that the trying times in the country would soon fade out, Akoni appealed to Nigerians to persevere a little more to enjoy the dividends of democracy of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration. He said, “In these trying times, it is crucial that we remember the importance of stability, peace, and constructive dialogue in achieving our collective goals. Given these significant contributions and the progress we have witnessed, we strongly state that we are not in support of any protest against the government of Lagos. “We understand the frustrations and challenges faced by many, but we must also recognise the advancements and opportunities that have been provided to cushion the economic effect of the nation, and we hope other states can emulate the Lagos State Government. “We cannot afford to let the destructive events of the past, such as the EndSARS protests, repeat themselves. Our priority is to defend and preserve the peace and prosperity of Lagos. “ He urged all students to channel their energies into constructive dialogue and positive action, such as volunteering for community development projects, participating in student-government initiatives, and engaging in academic and extracurricular activities that promote excellence. He added that “We believe that with time, patience, and continued collaboration with the government, we will see further improvements and solutions to the issues we face. Let us stand together in unity and purpose, ensuring that our actions reflect our commitment to a better future for all. “As a demonstration of our support for the Lagos State Government and our commitment to peace and stability, we announce our intention to hold a Solidarity Walk in support of the government. “We plan to hold this walk from the 1st to the 10th of August, 2024, coinciding with the proposed dates of a planned protest by some unknown individuals. We will not let the voices of discord and destruction drown out our message of unity and progress. “We invite all students, youth organizations, and well-meaning citizens to join us on this walk as we show our appreciation for the government’s efforts and our commitment to a brighter future for Lagos. Together, we can make a difference!” Alimi, while declaring students’ support for Governor Sanwo-Olu’s administration, expressed their readiness to protect Lagos from another #EndSARS saga in the name protest proposed to commence next month. He said: “After extensive deliberations, we have come in unison and in one voice to say ‘Thank You Lagos’ for being prompt and responsive to many needs of the people through the THEMES+ agenda. “It is also important to note that the Governor has maintained open lines of communication with student leaders, as evidenced by the recent parley with Mr. Governor. This ongoing engagement highlights a genuine interest in addressing our concerns and finding solutions that benefit us all. “The Lagos State Government has prioritised education in its agenda, leading to the establishment of new schools, namely: Lagos State University of Education, Oto-Ijanikin with a campus in Epe; Lagos State University of Science and Technology, Ikorodu; and proper and prompt funding of all existing ones with upgrades in their infrastructures; and the introduction of innovative teaching methods. These investments are empowering our young people with the skills they need to succeed in the 21st century. He acknowledged what he said was “the tremendous efforts of the Governor of Lagos State”, who according to him “has consistently demonstrated a commitment to the student constituency. “From the increment of bursaries and scholarships to the generous donation of buses to all tertiary institutions in Lagos, including the NANS Aluta bus, the Governor has shown that he values and supports the growth and development of students in our state. “Additionally, the employment and job opportunities extended to some student leaders across the state are a testament to his dedication to our future. The recent appointment of student leaders to key positions in the Lagos State government, such as the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Student Affairs, Tertiary Education, Secondary and Basic Education, and Vocational and Technical Board, demonstrates his willingness and commitment to involve students in the decision-making process of the state. “Also, in Secondary and Basic Education, N1,571,076,000 was approved as registration fees and other sundry costs for 58,188 SS3 students writing the West Africa School Certificate Examination; 18,912 Mobile Learning Devices were distributed to SS2 students across the six education districts in the state. Scholarships and bursaries for students of Lagos State origin in tertiary institutions have been significantly increased.” Also speaking, Chairman, National Female Students Association of Nigeria (Lagos chapter), Ekindayo, said female students in Lagos State will shun any form of protest. “Lagos has been in peace and will continue to be in peace. We students are saying no to protest in Lagos State. We appreciate Governor Sanwo-Olu for giving opportunities to women in the state, and we female students will shun any form of protest,” she said. Olufowobi, said Governor Sanwo-Olu has done a lot in Lagos State; therefore, there is no basis to embark on a national protest in the state. “Governor Sanwo-Olu has tried his best to ease hardship on students across Lagos State. We are not in support of any protest. This is our state, and we don’t have where to go if #EndSARS happens again. We are saying no to protest in my state,” he said. https://punchng.com/lagos-students-shun-national-protest-plan-solidarity-walk/ |
The Kogi State Government has promised to abide by the Supreme Court judgment on local government autonomy. It also said that those who are calling for a nationwide protest at this time are enemies of Nigeria. This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the state Commissioner for Informatio, Kingsley Fanwo, in Lokoja, the state capital, shortly after stakeholders meeting with members of the All Progressive Congress. According to him, the governor, Alhaji Ahmed Ododo, also said that the state government under his leadership will ensure that democracy and continued autonomy of Kogi Local Government Councils stands. The governor reiterated the readiness of his administration to strengthen democracy at the local government level. Ododo said the October 19, 2024, local government election in the state will be free, fair and credible, urging stakeholders to encourage women’s participation in the election. “I urge our party to give a good space for women’s participation. I am not expecting less than 40 per cent of the legislative seats at the local government level to go to our women. They vote massively during elections and it is high time we brought them to the decision-making table as a state. “Under the leadership of Governor Yahaya Bello, we were able to get 30 per cent of women’s representation. We should push it to 40 per cent in the next election. I also wish to encourage candidates who emerge to run for the chairmanship seats to nominate Women as their running mates. “I will not impose any candidate. Let the people go and decide who represents them in their various local government areas and wards. When elected, I urge the councillors to also consider women as their council leaders. We are a state known for women’s inclusion and we must continue to push the women forward to the decision-making corridors,” he said. The governor also urged Nigerians to continue to support President Bola Tinubu, saying he is doing more than enough to get the country back on track. “Our President is working hard day and night to make our nation better. Protests won’t bring food. We are working hard to ensure food prices crash in the next couple of months. Anyone promoting destructive protests at this time is an enemy of Nigeria,” he said. Ododo also used the occasion to confirm the fact that Kogi Local Government Councils have been autonomous since 2016, saying the difference now is that Local Government Councils’ allocations will now go directly into their accounts. He urged the Local Government Councils to justify the efforts of Mr President by touching the lives of people at the grassroots.

The Lagos State Police Command has busted a fake sachet water-producing company at Oluwole Market in the Apapa area of the state. The suspects were said to be fraudulently using another company’s brand name to sell their products. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, who disclosed this in a post on his X.com handle said the perpetrators also duplicated the NAFDAC number of the company. Hundeyin noted that their activities were discovered after a tip-off by residents in the community. He wrote, “Thank you, Lagosians, for giving us information and safeguarding the health of others. “These suspects fraudulently used the brand name and NAFDAC number of another sachet water producing company to produce their sachet water inside Oluwole Market, Apapa.” In the video attached to the post, one of the suspects caught on duty was seen conducting a team of policemen around the facility where they operated. The suspect also showed them some of the bags of sachet water stored in the refrigerator, opening about three while the officers inspected. A heap of other bags of sachet water was also seen stored in a separate room in the facility in the video. The suspect went further to operate the machine used in producing them on the instructions of the officers present. Meanwhile, Hundeyin who spoke to PUNCH Metro on Monday about the discovery said the security operatives invaded the company on Friday, July 19. According to him, only one worker was found in the building while the owner of the facility absconded. “The facility was raided on July 9 and only was suspect was arrested in the process. The owner is now at large and efforts are ongoing to apprehend him. The suspect is in our custody and helping with investigations.” Dayo Oyewo https://punchng.com/police-uncover-fake-sachet-water-company-in-lagos/ |
