JUST IN: Saudi Arabia cancels 264 Air Peace passengers visa on arrival, asks them to return to Nigeria

Saudi Arabia has cancelled the visa of all the 264 passengers airlifted by Nigeria’s major carrier, Air Peace on arrival in Jeddah from Kano on Monday and insisted that the airline should return them back to Nigeria, Star Potter Reports.

The flight took off from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, via the Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, on Sunday night and arrived Saudi Arabia’s major city on Monday, without issues, but on landing, the Saudi Arabia authorities announced that all the passengers visas were cancelled.


A source who revealed this said that all the passengers and the airline personnel were shocked at the cancellation of the visas because during check in of the passengers, they went through Advanced Passengers Prescreening System (APPS), which were also monitored by the Saudi Arabia authorities before the flight left Nigeria

The source wondered whether what happened was a strategy to discourage the airline from operating to the destination because since it started the operation, it has been recording high load factor and even the flight expected to leave on Tuesday, to Jeddah, was already fully booked.

When the Nigerian embassy waded in, Saudi authorities were said to have reduced the number of passengers that would be returned to 177 from 264.

Saudi Air has been operating directly from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia and since Air Peace started flight service to the Middle East nation at relatively lower fares, it has been receiving high patronage and as Nigerian carrier, it helps to conserve foreign exchange for the country.

A source from the Nigerian embassy in Jeddah said that even the Saudi Immigrations personnel said that they didn’t know who cancelled the visas, but that they were cancelled when the airline was already airborne to Jeddah.

The source said, “The airline was exonerated in all this as the Advanced Passenger Prescreening System(APPS) which is live between both countries would have screened out any invalid visa and its passenger. The system accepted all affected passengers and passed them on.”

Those deported were 177 passengers and Air Peace has already left with them back to Nigeria.

“They are on their way to Nigeria now,” the source said

So it’s a prank – Nigerians react as MTN restores debt cancelled by system glitch

Nigerians have decried restoration of all outstanding debts cancelled by MTN Nigeria.

Recall that early hours of Saturday, September 11, 2023, the telecom giant experienced a technical glitch that resulted in the temporary removal of debt from the accounts of subscribers who had borrowed airtime from the company.

Many subscribers upon checking their accounts, discovered that the money they had borrowed had vanished, leaving their balances at zero.


MTN later responded to the development saying it was due to a technical glitch, adding that the debts would be restored.

“MTN Nigeria Communications Plc can confirm a system glitch impacting balance enquiries. As a result, some customers may receive error messages showing that their balances have been cleared,” the network provider said


“This is not the case and all balances will reflect accurate figures once the problem is resolved. Our engineers are currently working to ensure this.

“Please accept our apologies. We regret the inconvenience.”

Meanwhile, the telecom giant seems to have cleared the errors and has restored the debts to subscribers as stated.

Several subscribers flooded X, formerly, Twitter, who thought the debt wouldn’t be restored have decried the development.

@Maliqifeoluwa said; “Mtn don restore my N2700 debt o.”

@P_____Cash reacted; “So nah Prank Mtn Dey do 🥲😡😭😭😭😭😭 Eno go better for mtn generation ooo😡😡”

Ogbomoso-Born Chef, Tope Maggie Set To Begin 200 Hours Cook-A-Thon Today. See Details(Photos)

Ogbomoso-born chef, Tope Maggie, will embark on a daring journey on Thursday, November 9 to break the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest culinary marathon.

Tope Maggie has set a target of 200 hours of cooking, or at least eight days, to be held at Ogbomoso Country Club, opposite LAUTECH College of Health Sciences, Isale-General.

His cooking marathon will begin at 6 p.m.

Tope Maggie set this ambition after Hilda Effiong
Bassey, better known as Hilda Baci, demolished the old GWR owned by Lata Tondon, an Indian, last May, after Cooked 100 hours (4 days) non-stop, but 7 hours later she was docked a penalty for mistakenly taking extra minutes for one of her breaks at the start of the attempt.

She prepared more than 100 pots of food during the competition, mainly Nigerian cuisine.

Tondon's record of 87 hours and 45 minutes has stood for four years.

However, the stakes were raised when a few days ago Irish chef Alan Fisher broke Hilda Baci's GWR record by cooking for 119 hours and 57 minutes, 24 hours longer than the previous record set by Hilda Baci holds.

Fisher is the owner and chef of a restaurant in Japan.
Tope Maggie has also owned and managed restaurants in Ogbomoso for many years.

Many supporters are expected to flock to the venue to encourage him to realize his ambition.
Meanwhile, he assured his supporters that the goal was achievable.
In a voice note obtained by Star Potter on Wednesday night, Tope said he was ready and in good spirits for the competition calling for prayers and support.
“Good evening everyone and thank you for your support and everything you've done for me,” he was heard saying.
“As you know, we are starting the Cook-a-thon tomorrow (today) and we will be going non-stop for at least 200 hours, or about 8 days.
“I need you to at least pray for me and I want you to stay calm and trust me and God.
This will work.
I need your prayers and to watch over me wherever I go.
God will bless you.
" However, according to a member of his team, Seun Ogunbiyi, the chef needs the support of Nigerians for food and financial support, saying: "We still There is still a very long way to go through this area.

Vigilante leader arrested for armed robbery in Ogun, names police officer who supplies guns for operations

A 36-year-old Unit Commandant of the Vigi­lante Group of Nigeria (VGN), Owonikoko John has been arrested in Ogun state over his alleged involvement in the supply of arms and robberies.

The Ogun police com­mand said John was the mastermind of several nefarious crimes at Obalen­de and other areas of the state.

It was learnt that John was arrested along the Sagamu-Ijebu- Ode-Benin highway during an operation led by an Assistant Commissioner of Police, ACP Omosanyi Adeniyi, the Area Commander, Ijebu-Ode.


Upon his arrest, John was found in possession of a gun. In his confessional statement, he allegedly fingered an Inspector of Police, identified as Ola, as the supplier of the firearm in his possession.

Pastor Ola, who also happened to be a spy police, was fingered as the policeman who sold the gun to him.

Narrating his side of the story, Pastor Ola said that he indeed sold his pump action rifle to the suspected armed robber with necessary caution but begged for mercy.

“If I had known, I would not have done it that way,” he said.

“I was invited by the Police on a Wednesday when I was preparing to travel to Ibadan with my boss. I was informed that some people were in my house to take my wife to the police station.

“Upon getting to our Divisional Police Station, the Divisional Police Officer asked if I was the Inspector who sold a gun to an armed robber; I replied that I didn’t sell a gun to an armed robber.

“I explained that officials of the VGN bought a gun from me, but they were referred to me by one Omooba, a well-known person in my area,” he added.

No fewer than eight people including students have been crushed to death when a trailer conveying sharp sand lost control in Abuja.

The incident occurred on Thursday around 4 p.m. before the Keke NAPEP Park along the road that leads to Mpape junction.

According to a witness, Mustapha Aminu, the truck rammed into some tricycles popularly called Keke and vehicles, killing at least 8 people, including students.


Aminu said the driver, having seen the havoc he had caused, abandoned the truck and ran away with the help of a motorcycle.

“When the incident happened, I was close to the road. It was very damaging. It killed about eight people as I counted. People were saying the trailer brake failed. To me, what caused the incident at first was that one of the truck’s tires burst, which made it lose control.

“Nobody heard the horn from the truck, because sometimes when incidents like this happen, one would hear the horn from afar, then people would stay clear from the road. If the driver had done this, a lot of lives would have been saved.

“More than seven Keke and several cars were affected. About two students in one of the tricycles died instantly,” he said.

Confirming the incident, the Sector Commander of the FCT, Chorrie Mutaa said their rescue team recovered five dead bodies and 10 injured persons. He added that 13 vehicles, including the truck that caused the accident and a motorcycle, were involved in the accident.
