Peter obi will divide Nigeria and declare biafra if he becomes Nigeria president...Ali Modu Sheriff
Lisa well said! It is not too late for Peter Obi to drop his dream for a better Nigeria, end his presidential campaign so that Modu Sheriff, his Fulani brothers and their south western Yoruba counterparts can destroy Nigeria so that the dissolution can finally happen…. Igbo presidency will be a disaster as long as Nigeria remains in its current form. The only way an Igbo presidency will make any positive impact that will benefit Nigerians will be if Nigeria is dissolved or totally decentralized under such a presidency. Any other outcome will be an exercise in futility….
Modu Sheriff and his Fulani brothers know that the fastest way they can fulfill the Islamic jihadist conquest and total subjugation of all indigenous people that their ancestors like Usman Dan Fodio started is through the current political power structures so there is nothing that will make them support the division of Nigeria that will also close the door to the oil wealth of the south…..
I will use this medium to commend Peter Obi for being the only presidential candidate to come out publicly to declare that he will free Nnamdi Kanu if he becomes president. Peter Obi will fail as president if in addition to freeing Nnamdi Kanu, he doesn’t prioritize the implementation of a sovereign national conference as part of his policy agenda that will pave the way for a referendum towards a total devolution of economic/political powers…. This I believe should even be the only campaign promise he should be making to Nigerians that he will achieve within his one-term presidency if he miraculously wins next year’s election….. I see no reason why he should not aim higher towards doing something big, towards achieving something revolutionary like truncating the 1999 constitution, dissolution of Nigeria or total devolution of powers towards regional autonomy. Peter Obi if he succeeds to be installed as the first igbo president since 1999 will have a golden opportunity to liberate his people and all indigenous people from the bondage of “One Nigeria”.....
Nigeria is a lawless zoo… Once you are able to see through the vale of deception they call democracy in Nigeria then nothing will surprise…. Most times, Nigeria’s law applies only to those who can’t buy justice…. Once you are in public office or have access to those in powerful positions, you become above the law….
gidgiddy: Strange things happen in a strange country. You go and arrest a medical Doctor just because he is Nnamdi Kanu's Doctor, take him to Abuja, detained him then released him without any explanation?
Seem you are the kid here.... One of the main character in the story Sabiu "Tunde" Yusuf dirty dealings did not start today.... Feel free to read the revelation below.....
Exclusive U.S Authorities Probing Sabiu Yusuf, Mamman Daura, The Funtuas For Laundering Millions In Dubai, London June 17, 2020
Authorities in the United States U.S may have commenced large scale investigations into the massive looting of Nigeria’s treasury by members of President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabal.
Popintblanknews.com sources at the U.S State Department and the Department of Justice, DOJ, are said to have tracked money laundering activities of Buhari’s Personal Assistant and Private Secretary, Sabiu ‘Tunde’ Yusuf, Senior Special Assistant, Domestic, Sarki Abba, Mamman Daura, and Ismaila Isa and Abubakar Isa Funtua from 2016 to 2019 in the United Arab Emirate and the United Kingdom.
While the U.S is relying on her Mutual Legal Assistant Treaty, MLAT, with the UK, to compile the money laundering activities of the interested persons, they are also said to have invoked the Foreign Account Tax Compliance, FATCA, Act, an agreement entered with the United Arab Emirate, UAE, to commence the investigations.
Members of the cabal are Buhari’s nephew, Mamman Daura; Isa Funtua; President Buhari’s Personal Assistant and Private Secretary, Sabiu Yusuf; and the president’s former chief of staff, Abba Kyari who died some months ago.
The investigation of Buhari’s cabal is part of investigations being conducted by the US government over the massive looting and money laundering going on the administration.
Sources told Pointblanknews.com that Sabiu Yusuf ‘Tunde’ have been moving millions to London and Dubai where he is alleged to have acquired choice properties.
However, State Department sources who do not want to be named told pointblanknews.com that activities of Sabiu ‘Tunde’ Yusuf, Mamman Daura, Mohammed Mamman Daura, and the Funtuas, have caught the attention of the U.S investigators.
According to sources, financial transactions done by the members of the cabal between 2016 and 2019 using banks in Nigeria, London and Dubai have been flagged.
“Properties purchased from funds suspected to have been laundered by the mentioned have been traced in Dubai and London,” a source familiar with the investigation hinted.
Authorities said the most troubling is cash movements linked to Sabiu Yusuf through some proxies to Dubai and London using some first-generation banks in Nigeria.
According to the source, top officials of the new generation banks have helped Sabiu ‘Tunde” and others named in laundering over $800million by disguising its sources in the last five years.
The source said “over N800million has been laundered between 2016-2019 by officials in Buhari’s Govt. Most have been used to purchase choice properties in Dubai and London.”
Recall that Nigeria’s Attorney General of Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami and Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu, have been under the radar of the United States government over acts of corruption and rights abuses in relation to the management of the Abacha loot.
Malami, Magu, and other members of President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet are being processed for sanctions by the United States.
While it was gathered that Malami pocketed over $250million from the Abacha loots, Pointblanknews learned that the attorney general and Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Bagudu, shared some of part of the recovered loot, claiming that it was commission paid to negotiators.
A case has also been filed in New Jersey, challenging Malami’s huge amount he demanded for a commission from the Abacha repatriated loots.
Pointblanknews can report that the US has invoked the Magnistsky Act on the two government officials and several other members of Buhari’s government.
In 2016, Congress enacted the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, which allows the US government to sanction foreign government officials implicated in human rights abuses anywhere in the world.
A US Senator Charles Grassley recently asked the US government to withhold the repatriation of $320 million Abacha loot to Nigeria citing President Muhammadu Buhari’s refusal to corporate with the US Department of Justice to finalize a second forfeiture action against a separate $100m loot as well as intending to return the money to an official who was involved in corruption with Abacha.
He insisted that it was critical for Congress to understand what steps the US government was taking before it helps to transfer “millions of dollars to Nigeria to ensure that the money is not fueling more corruption and government abuses”.
Grassley who also decried the lack of safeguards the money will be used for what has been agreed upon, also tackled the Attorney-General Abubakar Malami and EFCC acting Chairman Ibrahim Magu, saying under their guidance the Buhari administration has clamped down on anyone voicing opposition to the government.
The lawmaker who chairs Senate Committee on Finance stated this in a letter he wrote to Deborah Connor, who is Chief Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the US on April 1, 2020.
The senator’s action was in light of a report by Bloomberg on the U.S. government’s resistance to a plan by the Nigerian government to transfer over $110 million to Mr. Bagudu from money stolen from Nigerian treasury by the late dictator.
yarimo: Op do you know what is actually $30 b ? You must be illiterate kid .
The alleged $30 billion amount stated in the news article may be inaccurate but that does not mean there is no truth in this story about Femi Gbajabiamila..... Nigeria runs a deeply corrupt governing system that will leave you in total shock if you've direct access to those in government.....
badoh: Some of these writers are just plain stupid. So because Gbaja is now in the middle of a storm, some of you are now coming out to churn out unverified news. Why are you bringing this up now? If you don't have verifiable evidence that is enough to nail someone, pls shut the Bleep, we are not interested.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused the Department of State Services (DSS) of abducting the personal doctor of its imprisoned leader, Nnamdi Kanu, Emeritus Professor Martin Aghaji, in a desperate attempt to suppress evidence of alleged medical and judicial fraud surrounding Kanu's prosecution.
Aghaji, a renowned cardio-thoracic surgeon, former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), and Kanu's personal doctor, was arrested during a midnight raid at his residence in Enugu before being taken to Abuja and later to Lagos by DSS operatives.
Aghaji regained his freedom on Sunday after spending days in custody following sustained pressure from the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), senior medical practitioners, civil society actors, and other concerned stakeholders who demanded that the security agency either disclose the reasons for his arrest or release him.
The arrest had triggered outrage among medical professionals across the country, prompting the Enugu State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association to convene an emergency meeting of its State Officers' Council on Saturday.
The association disclosed that immediately after learning of the arrest, it initiated engagements with the Office of the Security Adviser to the Enugu State Governor, the Nigeria Police Force, including the Divisional Police Officer of the Independence Layout Division and the Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, the Department of State Services, and other relevant authorities.
It also notified the national leadership of the Nigerian Medical Association.
The NMA said that despite its engagements with security agencies, no official explanation had been provided regarding the reasons for Aghaji's arrest.
In a statement issued on Monday by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, IPOB thanked the lawyers representing Kanu and the NMA for their swift intervention, noting that their actions compelled the security agency to release the professor.
IPOB alleged that Aghaji was targeted because of his knowledge of Kanu's medical condition and his refusal to alter or suppress his professional opinion.
"It is a national disgrace and a direct assault on the medical profession that such a distinguished medical expert could be abducted in the dead of night simply for speaking the truth about our leader's health condition," IPOB said.
IPOB further alleged that lawyers and medical professionals associated with Kanu's case have been subjected to intimidation, unlawful detention, threats, and blackmail.
The group also made allegations involving Justice Binta Nyako, claiming that corruption charges previously filed against members of her family were withdrawn after she recused herself from Kanu's case.
SaharaReporters could not independently verify the claim, and no official response was immediately available from the relevant authorities.
IPOB recalled that Justice James Omotosho had, on October 26, 2025, ordered the NMA President to constitute a team of medical experts to examine Kanu and submit a report to the court.
However, IPOB alleged that no such examination ever took place, claiming Aghaji was excluded from the process and that no medical panel was constituted by the NMA President.
The group further alleged that a medical report dated October 23, 2025, three days before the court allegedly issued its order, was nevertheless presented as evidence.
IPOB described the development as "forgery" and "fraud on the court," alleging that the issue now forms part of Kanu's appeal before the Court of Appeal.
The group further claimed that Aghaji's arrest was intended to pressure him into changing or suppressing his independent medical assessment regarding Kanu's health.
IPOB also accused Justice Omotosho of delivering judgment in Kanu's case, convicting him under a law that had already been repealed.
The group described the conviction as unprecedented in common law jurisprudence and labelled it "a judicial abomination."
IPOB warned that judges handling Kanu's pending appeal could face similar pressure unless there is sustained international scrutiny of the proceedings.
The group alleged that individuals who refuse to cooperate with the authorities in the case are subjected to intimidation, abduction, and blackmail.
IPOB therefore called on international actors, including the United States, Israel, the United Kingdom, and human rights organisations, to closely examine the appeal documents and the timeline surrounding the disputed medical report.
The group urged observers to scrutinise what it called inconsistencies between the court order and the date on the medical report, as well as its allegations regarding Kanu's conviction.
IPOB further claimed that the developments surrounding the case posed a grave threat to Nigeria's judiciary.
Segun Olatunji, the editor of FirstNews, was abducted by soldiers from his home in Lagos on March 15, and did not regain his freedom until two weeks later.
Nobody knew why, not until he told FIJ after his freedom that it was about a story on how Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the President, reportedly attempted to corner the sum of $30 billion and 66 landed properties traced by Jim Obazee, President Bola Tinubu’s special investigator, to one Tunde Sabiu Yusuf, a former aide to the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari.
After his abduction, Olatunji was handcuffed, locked in an underground cell, and generally treated like a common criminal. FIJ is reproducing, word for word, the story that fetched Olatunji such monumental abuse of his human rights.
Details emerged at the weekend about how President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila and the new cabal at Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, allegedly attempted to corner the $ 30 billion looted funds and the 66 landed choice properties traced by the Special Investigator, Jim Obazee to Tunde Sabiu, a former Personal Assistant to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
It was also learnt that the Presidency cabal has intensified its fight against the complete government take-over of the four erring banks seized by the Central Bank of Nigeria early this month by allegedly arranging for their cronies to surreptitiously buy over the affected banks.
The former owners of the seized banks, it was further learnt, are currently negotiating with some highly placed Presidency officials on how to retrieve the banks from the CBN through the backdoor.
CBN had on January 10 announced the sack of the management of Union Bank, Titan Trust Bank, Polaris and Keystone banks and dissolved their Boards in line with the directives of President Bola Tinubu following a report of the Special Investigator, Jim Obazee, on the erring banks.
The Aso Rock cabal, it was learnt, had on some occasions allegedly concocted lies against the Special Investigator to convince President Tinubu to halt his investigations and eventually sack him. The cabal has also allegedly been shielding many of the suspects who should have been interrogated by the office of the Special Investigator.
Competent Aso Rock sources said if not for the determination, resilience, courage and unwavering devotion to duty exhibited by the Special Investigator, he and his team would have been unable to retrieve the four banks from their sacked management and dissolved Boards, as top government and Presidency officials were busy hobnobbing and conniving with them and other alleged looters of the nation’s commonwealth.
Several efforts were also allegedly made by the cabal to prevail on the Special Investigator to compromise his investigations and reports to the President.
The cabal also allegedly instructed the Special Investigator to report to them first before briefing and presenting his reports to the President.
It was gathered that trouble, however, started when the Special Investigator refused to be dictated to by the Aso Rock cabal on how to go about his job and who to investigate.
The Special Investigator, it was learnt, refused to take instructions from members of the cabal, insisting that it was against the presidential directives and mandate given to him by President Tinubu who appointed him.
As a result of the Special Investigator’s refusal to dance to the tune of the cabal, it was learnt, that they have ensured that his team of investigators is continuously starved of the necessary funds to enable them to carry out their assignments, contrary to repeated instructions from President Tinubu that their operations should be adequately funded.
Meanwhile, competent sources told First News that Sabiu through his lawyer, had at a recent meeting with the Special Investigator agreed to refund $ 30 billion and also forfeit to the Federal Government 30 per cent of the 66 choice houses and other landed property allegedly traced to him.
The Special Investigator, it was learnt, had planned to brief President Tinubu on his return from his trip to France to secure his approval to commence the implementation of the agreement reached with Sabiu.
It was however learnt that when Gbajabiamila got wind of Sabiu’s deal with the Special Investigator, he allegedly trailed the former presidential aide to the venue of the recent book launch on former President Muhammadu Buhari by his chief spokesperson, Femi Adesina in Abuja.
President Bola Tinubu also attended the book launch. But the President’s Chief of Staff, Gbajabiamila, who was supposed to stay behind at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in the absence of his principal, was said to have also headed to the venue of the book launch where he sought audience with Sabiu, who was also in attendance at the event.
Gbajabiamila was said to have been there and then fixed an appointment with Sabiu for 11 pm that night.
At the meeting, Sabiu was said to have disclosed to Gbajabiamila his plan to refund the $30 billion loot and also forfeit some landed choice property to the Federal Government, having reached an agreement with the Special Investigator.
It was further learnt that Gbajabiamila, during the meeting, instructed Sabiu to henceforth relate with him on the matter instead of the Special Investigator.
Gbajabiamila allegedly also told Sabiu that he had already made recommendations to Tinubu to sack the Special Investigator, adding that the President had transferred to him the mandate to recover looted funds as well as the landed choice property.
Sabiu and his lawyer, who was in company with him at the meeting with Gbajabiamila were said to have been shocked by Gbajabiamila’s utterances and instructions.
Sabiu, through his lawyer, later got across to the Special Investigator to inform him that his client had been instructed by Gbajabiamila not to relate with his office anymore on the recovery of the looted funds and forfeiture of his landed choice property to the Federal Government, as the President had directed him (Gbajabiamila) to take over the recovery of the looted funds and the forfeiture of the property.
Gbajabiamila then allegedly gave Sabiu and his lawyer a private bank account in which he should deposit the $30 billion.
The President’s Chief of Staff was said to have also told Sabiu that only 20 per cent of the refunded $30 billion loot will be paid into FG’s coffers while the remaining 80 per cent will be shared amongst top government officials, including three serving Ministers and some highly placed Presidency officials, whose list was shown to him.
Sabiu and his lawyer were then said to have called the Special Investigator to inform him that they could no longer continue any discussion with him on the matter following Gbajabiamila’s instructions that they should no longer relate with his office.
The Special Investigator is said to be currently preparing a report on the development, which he plans to hand over to President Tinubu on arrival from his trip to France.
Meanwhile, a coalition of 259 anti-corruption, civil society and human rights groups, Coalition for Transparency and Economic Reforms (COTER), has however called on President Tinubu not to allow anyone, no matter how highly placed, to rubbish the credibility already secured for his administration in the international community through the invaluable works of the Special Investigator, Jim Obazee.
COTER also urged President Tinubu to warn Gbajabiamila to steer clear of what the Special Investigator has been doing successfully since his appointment, which involves handling the very delicate and dangerous national assignment of investigating and recovering all the funds looted by powerful individuals from the CBN and other Government agencies.
COTER’s President, Dr Peter Chima Chukwu and General Secretary, Mallam Auta Ibrahim Koko, stated these in a statement in reaction to Gbajabiamila’s alleged intervention in the functions of the Special Investigator.
According to them, “Obazee has successfully been laundering the image of this country and the President Bola Tinubu-led administration internationally through his bold and courageous work as CBN Special Investigator.”
“So, Gbajabiamila cannot now come and attempt to usurp that office or the Special Investigator’s role after Obazee has taken all the risks to achieve so much in recovering funds from the Federal Government’s coffers and the vaults of the CBN.”
“Gbajabiamila should face his job, which he’s yet to excel and discharge effectively and stop being a meddlesome interloper. The job Mr President gave him, he has not done well in the first place. Who gave Gbajabiamila the mandate to recover looted funds? Certainly, President Tinubu didn’t do that.”
“We believe this Government should not allow itself to be forced or coerced by some unpatriotic and corrupt elements in government to thread the ignoble path of the previous administration. At least, there should be some decency in government this time around under President Tinubu. Gbajabiamila should be stopped from meddling in the work of the Special Investigator.”
“But if he refuses to be called to order, COTER shall not hesitate to mobilise all the civil society groups in Nigeria against him.”
“We commend the Federal Government for fishing Obazee out for the job and we urge the President to adequately appreciate him with a special National honour/award.
“The Special Investigator should also be considered for higher national assignments because we have confidence in him, that he’ll always deliver. Nigeria should not make the mistake of allowing other countries, international agencies and organisations who are watching events in Nigeria now with keen interest to snatch Obazee away from us. Nigeria seriously needs Obazee at this moment of our journey as a nation.”
A video of Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew, the man at the centre of the alleged ₦1.3bn “ghost agency” scandal, has resurfaced online on Monday as the controversy surrounding the purported government agency continues to intensify.
The video, recorded during a press conference held in late June 2026, showed Adeyemi defending his claim to the leadership of the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council while challenging the position of the Presidency and the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President, led by Femi Gbajabiamila.
During the briefing, Adeyemi questioned how an agency described by the Presidency as non-existent could appear in official budget documents.
According to him, “the national budget does not emerge in isolation. It passes through multiple layers of technical drafting, executive coordination, ministerial inputs, Budget Office review, and finally legislative scrutiny by both chambers of the National Assembly.”
He argued that the inclusion of the agency in official budget documents raised questions about the integrity of the budget process.
“The question becomes unavoidable: At what point in this process did references to a non-existent agency allegedly enter the official record? And if they are indeed present in official documentation, what does that imply about the integrity of the process that produced and approved those documents?” he asked.
Adeyemi further claimed that the agency maintained several accounts with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
“The same acclaimed non-existent agency has a domiciliary account, a pounds sterling account and a Treasury Single Account, all domiciled in the Central Bank of Nigeria. Is it even possible to open an account with fictitious documents in a commercial bank in Nigeria today, let alone the Central Bank of Nigeria?” he said.
He also alleged that the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, demanded 48 per cent of the agency’s proposed ₦27.4bn take-off grant and referenced an alleged demand for ₦12.5bn.
A video of Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew, the man at the centre of the alleged ₦1.3bn “ghost agency” scandal, has resurfaced online on Monday as the controversy… pic.twitter.com/HdcvGX3ti6
The Presidency has, however, consistently denied the allegations.
The Office of the Chief of Staff has maintained that the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council has no legal backing and was never established by the Federal Government.
According to the Presidency, Adeyemi forged official documents, including appointment letters bearing the names and signatures of senior government officials, to portray himself as the Director-General of the purported council.
Authorities also alleged that he operated from an office inside Phase III of the Federal Secretariat Complex in Abuja, where he hosted meetings with government officials, diplomats, foreign investors and members of the public while presenting himself as a senior government official.
The controversy deepened after it emerged that an entity listed in the 2026 Appropriation Act as the Presidential Economic Advisory Council/Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council received more than ₦1.3bn in budgetary allocations, sparking widespread public scrutiny over how a body the Presidency now describes as fictitious appeared in the federal budget.
The reported allocation comprised about ₦803m for personnel, ₦200m for overhead and ₦300m for capital expenditure.
Adeyemi is facing an eight-count charge bordering on forgery, impersonation, false personation and operating a fictitious government agency before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The Presidency has maintained that the matter is before the court and urged the public to disregard his claims, while Adeyemi insists he is not an impostor and says the court will determine the dispute.
Why won't you laugh when you've been caught with your hands in the cookie jar.....I've read many of your propaganda induced threads attacking Peter Obi....
In a regional setting, they will be dealth with because tribalism and favoritism won't easily come into play as it is now. The divisive national politics of `One Nigeria' will be a thing of the past as Yoruba, Igbo or any other regional group will handle their affairs and deal with saboteurs without bias....
ruggedtimi: the persons involved in this case are they not from same region?..." Regional governments won’t solve the problem. The real issue lies in our mindset. many Nigerians have developed a love for quick and easy money. Any regional government would still be led by the same corrupt individuals, so the cycle continues.
This case like others before it will be buried.... Nigeria is not a real country, it is a lawless zoo.... Tinubu may likely promote Gbaja once the dust settles. Nothing will change unless Nigeria is dissolved or restructured towards total regional autonomy....
Ofunaofu: This is exactly what happens when you put fraudsters, forgers, scammers, thieves, and drug barons in power.
It’s not governance, it’s just a state-sponsored heist.
FRESH documents have emerged showing that the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, OSGF, approved the disowned Director-General of the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC, Mr Adeniyi Adeyemi, to attend the Canada-Africa Fintech Summit, CAFS, in August 2025.
This came as former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, yesterday, slammed President Bola Tinubu’s administration for dragging Nigeria to a point where scandals were no longer viewed as isolated incidents but recurring features of governance.
This is even as the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, also yesterday, urged the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, to disclose certified copies of all documents relating to the consideration and approval of the allocation of over N1.3 billion (N1,302,978,784) to the PFIPC in the 2026 Appropriation Act.
The presidency had alleged that Mr Adeyemi concocted letters and claims, insisting that the council never existed.
It also asked investigators from the Department of State Services, DSS, the Nigeria Police Force and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to identify and prosecute those within government institutions who allegedly assisted Adeniyi in carrying out the scheme.
Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding the alleged PFIPC intensified yesterday as a document obtained by Vanguard showed that the Permanent Secretary, Political and Economic Affairs Office, Office of Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Engr. Nadungu Gagare, had approved a trip for Mr Adeyemi to attend a Fintech summit in Canada.
The latest development has further escalated the dispute involving the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and Adeyemi.
The document, signed by Engr. Gagare, on behalf of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, OSGF, showed that the embattled PFIPC DG was directed by the OSGF to register and involve other stakeholders in the programme.
The document read: “In accordance with Mr President’s Economic Strategies on the Agenda. I invite you to participate in and join the Nigerian delegation to Canada from August 3rd to 8th, 2025.
“The CAFS Summit highlights strategic roles in Digital Finance and Technology, among stakeholders worldwide.
‘’This initiative will significantly contribute to shaping our economic vision, advancing development priorities, strengthening economic ties, fostering bilateral trade relations, and attracting foreign direct investment, FDI, to benefit the Nigerian economy.
“Given the above, you are urgently requested to register and involve other stakeholders in the programme. Your experience, technical support, and presence will strengthen this delegation.
“For more information and details, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Permanent Secretary of the Political and Economic Affairs Office at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, OSGF, and the CAFS Organising Group. Accept the warm regards of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.’’
Presidency can’t escape accountability over Gbajabiamila claims —PDP
Also reacting yesterday, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, asked President Tinubu to order an independent forensic investigation into allegations surrounding the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC, insisting the Presidency “cannot escape accountability” over claims involving the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila.
The opposition party said the controversy left the Presidency facing two equally damaging possibilities.
In a statement signed by the spokesman of its Interim National Working Committee, Mr Ini Ememobong, the PDP said allegations made by Prince Adeniyi Matthew over the PFIPC, and the Presidency’s response through presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, had raised fresh questions about accountability and the integrity of government institutions.
The PDP said Mr Matthew alleged that Gbajabiamila solicited and received financial inducements to facilitate his appointment into the PFIPC before making further financial demands during the course of his engagement.
“The Presidency cannot escape accountability by choosing between corruption and incompetence. If its version is true, it has admitted to an unprecedented collapse of institutional safeguards.
‘’If Prince Matthew’s version is true, it has exposed corruption at the heart of government. Either way, Nigerians deserve answers.
"Whichever version of events proves to be true, the implications are deeply troubling,” Ememobong said.
The party said the Presidency, rather than directly denying the allegations, described Prince Matthew as an impostor who allegedly secured office space, had government staff assigned to him, operated CBN-registered accounts and conducted official business with agencies including the EFCC and other security institutions despite having no lawful authority.
It said the Presidency’s explanation only raised more questions.
“How did an alleged impostor gain unrestricted access to the Presidency? Who authorised the allocation of office space? Who approved the deployment of staff and budgetary resources?
‘’How were official accounts established? Who permitted him to transact with federal institutions and security agencies? These are questions that cannot simply be dismissed through a press statement.
“From the reported appointment of deceased persons into public offices, to controversies surrounding the presidential pardon process, the alleged N800 billion Progressive Governors Forum scandal, and several other avoidable administrative lapses, this administration has repeatedly found itself explaining controversies that ought never to have arisen,” the party stated.
The PDP urged President Tinubu to order an independent forensic investigation into the PFIPC controversy, suspend officials connected to the matter, pending the outcome of the inquiry, review administrative processes within the Presidency and issue an unreserved apology to Nigerians.
“The Nigerian people deserve more than explanations. They deserve transparency, accountability, and institutions that inspire confidence rather than suspicion. Until this administration demonstrates a genuine commitment to holding itself accountable, every unresolved scandal will further erode public trust and strengthen Nigerians’ determination to demand a government that is competent, transparent, and worthy of their confidence in 2027,” Ememobong stated.
SERAP asks Akpabio, Abbas to explain N1.3bn allocation to PFIPC
Meanwhile, SERAP has urged the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, to urgently disclose certified copies of all documents relating to the consideration and approval of the allocation of over N1.3 billion (N1,302,978,784) to the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC/Presidential Economic Advisory Council in the 2026 Appropriation Act.
SERAP, in a Freedom of Information, FoI, request by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, urged them to exercise the National Assembly’s constitutional powers under sections 88 and 89 of the Nigerian Constitution to investigate the circumstances surrounding the allocation to ‘a fictitious presidential council’ in the 2026 Appropriation Act and to identify anyone responsible for any irregularities.
SERAP also urged them to “provide certified copies of records identifying the members of the National Assembly committees that considered the allocation and the names and official designations of all public officers or representatives who appeared before those committees to defend the proposed allocation.”
SERAP further urged them to “clarify whether the allocation formed part of the executive’s original Appropriation Bill or was introduced or amended during the appropriations process and whether any lawmaker raised concerns or sought clarification regarding the legal status, establishment or operational mandate of the ‘fictitious body’; and the action taken by the National Assembly in response.”
According to reports, the PFIPC/Presidential Economic Advisory Council was allocated over N1.3 billion in the 2026 Appropriation Act. However, the Presidency has publicly stated that the body is fictitious and was never established by the federal government.
SERAP said: “These conflicting accounts raise serious concerns regarding the integrity of Nigeria’s appropriations process, legislative oversight, public financial management and accountability.
“Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law. The National Assembly ought to keep an eye on what the executive is doing and to keep the Presidency and agencies of government in check, including before and during the appropriation process, by thoroughly scrutinising the Executive’s budget proposals before any authorisation.
“Nigerians have a right to know whether public funds were appropriated for an entity that was not lawfully established and, if so, how this occurred.
“Providing the requested information would enable Nigerians to assess whether the National Assembly discharged its constitutional responsibilities under sections 80, 81, 88 and 89 of the Constitution in scrutinising and approving the allocation.
“We would be grateful if the recommended measures are taken within seven days of the receipt and/or publication of this letter. If we have not heard from you by then, SERAP shall take all appropriate legal actions to compel you and the National Assembly to comply with our request in the public interest.
“Disclosure of the requested information would strengthen public confidence in the credibility of the National Assembly and the integrity of the appropriations process, promote transparency in the management of public resources, and enable citizens to meaningfully scrutinise the exercise of parliamentary oversight.
“The requested records concern matters of exceptional public importance. They relate directly to the integrity of Nigeria’s budgetary and appropriations process, the lawful establishment and funding of public institutions, the expenditure of public funds, and the effectiveness of legislative oversight.
“The National Assembly has a clear obligation to disclose the requested information, particularly where there are credible allegations of governmental impropriety and possible misuse of public resources.
“The disclosure of the requested information and documents would advance these constitutional and statutory objectives by promoting openness, strengthening legislative accountability and enhancing public confidence in the management of public resources.
“According to widely reported allegations, the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC/Presidential Economic Advisory Council was allocated over N1.3 billion (N1,302,978,784) in the 2026 Appropriation Act.”
Don't be naive! Did Tinubu remove Taiwo Oyedele over the tax law forgery scandal? Instead he promoted him.... He is now enjoying his new appointment as Nigeria's finance minister....
Justnation: If tinubu refuses to remove gbajabiamila it will become clear that he is actively involved in the case.
Over the past few days, the controversy surrounding the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC has tajen over the social media space and as usual many Nigerians have taken to their social handles to argue in defense or against the government, exposing once again the hopelessness, lawlessness and brazen injustices that characterize the contraption called "One Nigeria"....
If you are reading this with an open mind, I implore to take a second to imagine that Femi Gbajabiamila, the prime suspect behind the fictitious multi-billion naira agency was an igbo man, imagine what would've happened to him? Imagine the national uproar and massive protests that would've engulfed the nation with Nigerians especially those from the south western region of the country taken up sticks in anger against him. Imagine how zealous the EFCC, DSS, ICPC and other security agencies would be in wisking him away from the presidential villa without court order or arrest warrant, imagine what the APC, PDP, ADC, Atiku, and other notable political figures including Tinubu would be saying now, the national outry would be loud, all radio speakers will be tuned up, calling for his head to be hanged in the public square without delay and without trial.
If you take a moment to ponder and articulate the outcome that Gbajabiamila who continues to enjoy presidential privileges would've face over this PFIPC monumental scandal if he was an igbo man or had an igbo name then you will understand how dangerous "One Nigeria" is and why it is an irredeemable mess. You will understand how hopelessly tribalistic, hypocritical, unjust and brazenly biased many have overtime become over national issues. You will see how corruption, nepotism, tribalism, religious bigotry has eaten deep to understand that Nigeria can never get better as a nation....
For any man/woman who is igbo, north central or from the minority south south tribes, who is courageous to ponder this and are sensible to accept the bitter truth about the hopelessness of "One Nigeria", you will be doing yourself a great disservice by your continued corporation with an unjust corrupt system carefully designed against you. In "One Nigeria", people with names such as Femi Gbajabiamila, Olu Adeboye or Mohammed Sani Yusuf with access to political presidential powers are always above the law while those with names such as Emeka Okafor, Effiong Ita even if they have political influence are always subjected to the law and the systemic injustices that comes with it... If Nigeria was a real country then the national discuss should've be centered on not just Femi Gbaja's complicity but on Tinubu's impeachment and removal over glaring abuse of office..... If you are in Nigeria and are still sane, you will do yourself and your future generations a big favor of a better future by joining the call for a referendum towards a total dissolution or total decentralization of "One Nigeria"......
Femi Gbajabiamila will walk free over the PFIPC scandal just like his boss, Tinubu did over his bullion vans during the 2019 election..... Nigeria as a nation is hopelessly irredeemable!
Don't forget I told you earlier that Nnamdi Kanu is a human and not perfect, he has his flaws so do you. I believe you've at some point done far worse of what you accuse Kanu of doing. You've made inflammatory divisive statements out of anger or frustration especially against public political figures through your various social media accounts. Nnamdi Kanu has on several occasions lamented the injustices been done to IPOB by the Nigeria government without any reprieve or help from anyone in government or international organization. When you are pushed to the wall and you have no other option, what do you do? Will you fold your arm or will you do something to defend yourself? Nigeria security forces carried out extra judicial killings against unarmed IPOB members in the south east which till date, no one in the past or present government have been jailed over it. If you genuinely care about justice or fairness then you should be asking the right question and condemning your government as well because Kanu did not say what he said that you accuse him of saying without any justifiable reason....... Nigeria killed some of his family members without provocation in 2017 when the military attacked his house in Umuahia. Till date, there has been no judicial inquiry, I believe if you were in his shoes, you will say far worse things and do far worse things in retaliation over the brazen injustices been meted on him by Nigeria's government..... Again, Kanu has even made a public apology if you care to know but I guess you don't because your agenda is to ensure he never gets justice, to demonize him by amplifying government terrorism propaganda against him.... If many reading your comment cannot see through you, I can.
Nigeria is a lawless country masquerading as a democracy, you will be doing yourself a favor by telling yourself the truth which is, Nnamdi Kanu is a victim of Nigeria's lawlessness, he is not the villain because he meant well for the people, he wanted freedom for his people.
CharlesCNG: I appreciate that you've explained your position, and I don't doubt that you see your support as being based on conviction rather than political convenience.
However, consistency alone is not enough to validate a public figure's message. A person can be consistent and still consistently promote ideas that deepen division.
There is also an important distinction between speaking uncomfortable truths and using rhetoric that demonizes entire groups or inflames ethnic tensions.
Many of Nnamdi Kanu's speeches have gone beyond political criticism into language that many Nigerians regard as inflammatory and divisive. Whether one agrees with his political objective or not, that aspect of his public communication cannot simply be overlooked.
You also say he "always upholds the truth." That is a very broad claim. Like most political figures, he has made statements that supporters embrace and others that have been disputed or criticized. No public figure should be placed beyond critical examination.
Finally, one can acknowledge that some of the grievances he raised resonated with many people while also rejecting methods or rhetoric that fuel hostility. Those two positions are not mutually exclusive.
A better Nigeria will be built through principled advocacy, respect for differing views, and evidence-based debate—not by elevating any political figure to the point where their words are treated as beyond criticism.
If you check my profile, you will see that I do not post Nnamdi Kanu's videos to project political bias as you may presume. Apart from sharing Kanu's video criticizing Peter Obi, I've made my opinion known in several threads against igbo presidency and Peter Obi's futile quest to rule "One Nigeria" even when he knows the implications.... Nnamdi Kanu is not perfect but I admire his tenacity to always uphold the truth even to his own detriment.... I've learnt a lot from him, hopefully many Nigerians especially the igbos will begin to appreciate the sacrifices he made fighting for freedom, pushing for a better future that will benefit everyone.....
CharlesCNG: Since Nnamdi Kanu’s words have now become gospel truth to some people, please let us apply the gospel evenly.
If you are posting Kanu’s old video to prove that Buhari, Babangida and Atiku allegedly funded Boko Haram, then please also play us the video where the same Nnamdi Kanu attacked Peter Obi.
The same Kanu was publicly circulated accusing Obi of stealing Anambra money to build a shopping mall in Abuja. Some other circulated posts also attribute even more scandalous personal allegations to him including an alhaji homosexual lover based in abuja.
Now let me be clear: I am not saying those allegations against Peter Obi are true. I am not endorsing them. I am not repeating them as fact.
I am asking a simple question about consistency.
If Nnamdi Kanu is a reliable witness when he attacks Buhari, Babangida and Atiku, does he suddenly become unreliable when he attacks Peter Obi?
If his mouth is evidence against your enemies, why is the same mouth useless when it points at your saint?
That is the problem with selective truth.
You people do not believe Nnamdi Kanu because he is credible. You believe him only when he is useful.
When he attacks Fulani politicians, he is a prophet. When he attacks Peter Obi, he is noise. When he serves your bias, he is evidence. When he embarrasses your idol, he is forgotten.
What you are doing is political buffet indulgence: picking the meat you like and leaving the bone that chokes your candidate.
So before you use Nnamdi Kanu as your star witness, remember that the same witness has testified against your own messiah.
Will you accept his words there too?
Or is Kanu only truthful when Obi is not the target?
....How do we get there? We cannot be economically viable if we are not politically viable and political viability means complete and absolute Independence. We must be independent.....
God creates countries and Nations and not man, there are many ways that Nations can emerge it is always an organic process we understand that we respect that..... What people most commentators don't appreciate about Africa and which most Africans are a bit um slightly uncomfortable with is that somebody coming from Europe and without regard for your culture, your traditions, your way of life saying you, you, you you you you are now in one country and your name is Nigeria. There is something unnatural about it..... yes I said to the British government if you had come conquered my people which is a natural human process, that is entirely natural if you had come conquered our people made us English, I can live with that. But to come and hand over children of God over to something completely alien.... this same culture that we have in the north which is an Islamic culture tried to take us over many years ago and they failed you now came and completed the cycle for them, there is something evil about it, something inorganic about it, very very inorganic....
....unfortunately for them president Goodluck Jonathan the current president emerged out of circumstances that could be described as um somehow mysterious he came up as the president and now they don't like it.... three people funded Boko Haram, the ex president head of state Buhari, another ex head of State.. Hausa fulani Islamic person called Babangida, another ex vice president Atiku....
They consciously went out to fund Boko Haram because Buhari said after Jonathan won the 2011 election that I will make the country ungovernable, he said it openly and then went ahead to do it by killing poor defenseless Christians because they know that Christians around the world will not come to our rescue.... yeah they also know that no other people will come to our rescue because they don't want us to emerge as a people that's the problem.....
It is glaring, between now and 2027 presidential election, Fulani militia groups will have a strong network within the forests and local communities of several south west states including Lagos waiting to strike simultaneously in the event of an election outcome that doesn't favor their fulani political leaders.... Islamic jihad, terrorism and kidnapping will be the tools that will used by fulani hegemonic leaders to weaken, destroy and conquer the south. Indigenous people in north especially the hausas are already conquered by Fulani even before colonial masters created Nigeria...... Fulani oligarchs ultimate aim now is to destroy and conquer the south and One Nigeria will help them achieve it. All indigenous people in the South are in a big mess.....
Why are some of those commenting acting surprised? Nnamdi Kanu warned you of the dangers of keeping "One Nigeria" he said that all these and more will happen years ago.... Watch the video below if you are still naive over One Nigeria or don't know what to do....
Arewa people drags VDM for saying Northerners are the reason, Nigeria is not working......
Lisa, well said......You see that the main reason why Nigeria, the contraption has continued is because of the unholy alliance between northern and South western political elites, without this continued political gang up, I do believe that Nigeria would've been history by now. Core Northerners share a unique view to life that is heavily influenced by their fulani Islamic emirate centrist power structures, making them easily controllable by the fulani elites in contrast to what is obtainable in the South. The northern elites know that as long as "One Nigeria" exists, their people will never rise in protest against them, they will not be able to see through their deception because One Nigeria will continue to provide the shield and enabling environment to sustain their divisive Islamic propaganda to cover their bad governance and leadership failures. The north will not make any progress as a region but will destroy the south if nothing is done to end "One Nigeria".
For northerners to see the root cause of their problems and get any kind of inspiration to do something about it, a referendum must happen that will dissolve Nigeria or totally decentralized/regionalize Nigeria's economic and political power structures. Southerners who genuinely care about the north or the future of their region must push for this as that is the only way Northerners can rise up. Once the 1999 constitution is dissolved, Nigeria ends or is restructured towards power devolution, northerners will be challenged by the massive developmental strides that will happen in the south after a referendum, the evil northern leaders and elites hiding behind the cloak of "One Nigeria" to deceive, impoverish and subjugate their people will be totally exposed naked, they will have no where to run or who to blame any more over their bad governance and looting that destroyed their people. Northerners will finally begin to hold their fulani leaders accountable and a bloody revolution that will free them from their grasp will happen.....
IMHO, as long as Nigeria continue to exist in it's current form, the north will eventually destroy the south.....
You can now see how destructive it is in keeping "One Nigeria" going.... You seem to be a good person to own up to the truth here but yorubas bearing the brunt of national isolation is only a part of the consequences because Nigeria's democracy and state of the economy will be far worse than it is now by the time Tinubu is done in next 4 years with his borrowing spree. Also, south west region would be gone in the next 4 years, overun by fulani terrorists over frequent attacks reminiscent of Benue and Plateau state.... If there are still many yorubas like you, now is the time to rise up and join the call for a referendum to dissolve or totally decentralize Nigeria. 2027 election will come and go as nothing will change. The vicious unprogressive cycle of igbo vs yoruba your people peddle online will continue even after the election as Nigeria continues to get worse....
For those who are waiting till Tinubu leaves office to dust their placard for regionalism, it may seem politically expedient now to take that route but by then it may be too late.....
Sheuns: No one will take us seriously. They’ll just refer us back to Tinubu’s regime.
Both his supporters and those of us against his terrible policies and regime will unfortunately bear the brunt.
Yoruba have surrendered their PVCs to Amupitan and are officially selling their votes for 5k and 15k.....
Lisa has a point, but let me digress a little..... Many of you watching this video, especially those from the south west were once die hard political activists, not too long ago you were part of those organizing massive protests against Jonathan's government, many prominent yoruba pastors, political figures and celebrities, also not too long ago used their media influence to spread nationwide resentment against Jonathan, demanding for his removal. You joined other Nigerians in the 2012 #OccupyNigeria protest in Ojota to demand for Jonathan's removal over fuel subsidy..... It is not surprising since Tinubu became Nigeria's president, many have lost their voice, gone silent, while others who were once staunch advocates for good governance have become shameless defenders of a terrible government that has proven overtime to be far worst than Jonathan's government they helped APC to remove in 2015, all because of tribalism. This dramatic change, chameleon behavior as Lisa puts it exhibited by many south westerners today is not an isolated one because even before Tinubu's reign, the fulanis did the same under Buhari. It is hopeless trying to absolve or abortion blame as it won't end, the cycle of national retrogressive divisive tribalism will continue even after Tinubu. In a nutshell, Nigeria's hopeless toxic relationship is not healthy or beneficial to anyone. It is a vicious cycle of hate, betrayal, bitterness and suspicion that only serves the interest of greedy politicians who know the irrefutable truth that Nigeria is a fraud, they know that it is unworkable but choose to deceive the people with empty promises of a better "One Nigeria".... In all this, the real issue which remains an invisible chain on the neck of Nigerians is not mainly about what these politicians continue do to them but the deep rooted self-deceit, hypocrisy and self-denial of the majority when they are finally presented with the undeniable truth of Nigeria's fraudulent foundation and that it's unity must be renegotiated in order to make any meaningful national progress. This is why the problem lies with the people because they are the solution to the problem..... No matter how long the people may choose to dwell in self-deceit, Nigeria's eventual total dissolution or devolution is inevitable...... How bad will it get before this happens?
Sowore's arrest was based on judicial rascality, injustice and illegality but I guess you didn't know this... Read the excerpt below.....
On June 15, 2026, Omoyele Sowore appeared at the Federal High Court in Abuja before Justice Mohammed Umar for a ruling on his motion for the judge’s recusal, but the learned justice was not on seat. Sowore then informed the registrar of his scheduled travel to Lagos later that day and thereupon submitted a formal letter requesting fresh dates in July (specifically July 2nd, 3rd, 14th, 15th, 17th, etc).
Despite this, the court arbitrarily listed the matter for the very next day, June 16. Sowore, already in Lagos, could not attend, whereupon the Judge summarily revoked his bail and issued a bench warrant against him.
This sequence raises profound concerns about procedural fairness. It exemplifies how judicial discretion, when exercised without due regard for constitutional safeguards and equity, can undermine the rule of law. The Nigerian Constitution is unequivocal on fair hearing. Courts must afford parties an opportunity to adduce explanations for absence, before imposing sanctions like bail revocation or bench warrant.
Keep in mind that the causal chain in this saga started with the Judge’s absence in a hearing the Judge himself scheduled for June 15, and at which Sowore was dutifully present. Despite this glaring fact that the Judge himself was the first to default, his Lordship added insult to injury by totally discountenancing Sowore’s letter that clearly justified his absence from court the next day on June 16.
Issuing a bench warrant or revocation of bail is not automatic by the mere dint of a defendant’s failure to appear; it demands satisfaction that the defendant’s non-appearance was unjustified and that proper notice was given. In this very case, the notice of the next-day hearing was not even properly communicated other than by a vague text message sent to Sowore late on June 15.
In FRN v. Maishanu & Ors (2019), the Supreme Court addressed bail revocation, stressing that such actions must follow a community reading of relevant procedural provisions and occur only upon a clear breach. The Court underscored that this power be exercised with circumspection, as bail protects the presumption of innocence. Thus, revocation should only be a measured response to wilful evasion, not an absence formally notified to the court in writing beforehand.
To be sure, Sowore did not evade; he appeared on the scheduled date, documented his constraints, and proposed alternative dates. The Judge’s awareness of his letter made the next-day listing appear calculated to engineer non-appearance. This offends the principle that justice must not only be done but must manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done.
Bail is a constitutional safeguard for personal liberty pending trial. Revoking it summarily, especially in a politically charged case involving a vocal critic, risks perceptions of selective justice. Nigerian courts have repeatedly warned against using criminal processes to harass opponents. Sowore’s history of activism and prior encounters with the justice system does not justify bending rules; it demands stricter adherence to fairness to preserve public confidence in the judiciary.
The court could have adjourned, considered the letter formally and judiciously, or issued a proper hearing notice within the staggered dates suggested by Sowore. Instead, it opted for summary revocation and warrant - actions that portend severe implications for Sowore’s liberty, safety, and political activities as a presidential candidate.
Therefore, Justice Umar is hereby respectfully requested to - on his Lordship’s own motion - reconsider and vacate the bench warrant, restore Sowore’s bail, and ensure the recusal motion and trial proceed with scrupulous fairness. Anything less mocks the ideals of fair hearing and equal justice under the law.

budaatum: Perhaps like you he thought Nigeria was a lawless zoo, so its okay for him to behave like an animal and not turn up in court while on bail.
Now his in a cage he'd have sufficient time to evaluate.
Counterigbolies: u are calling Nigeria a zoo n no time now u will come out to tell us to vote your agulu packaged fraud right?
Since u are humans n u see others as animals, y do u want to rule them?
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Mr Fatai Tijani, has assured residents that a commercial area in Lagos, remains safe following a bomb explosion suspected to be an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), which triggered brief panic in the area.
Tijani gave the assurance on Monday while addressing journalists at the scene of the incident at the Shoe Materials Market in Mushin, after security operatives conducted a comprehensive sweep of the area.
According to him, the police received information about an explosion and immediately deployed Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operatives to cordon off and secure the area.
We promptly deployed our EOD team after receiving reports of an explosion. The area was cordoned off and thoroughly searched,” he said.
He explained that preliminary findings indicated that the explosion was caused by an Improvised Explosive Device planted under a vehicle.
Tijani said the device was placed beneath the passenger side of the vehicle and detonated when the engine was started.
“The IED was under the vehicle by the passenger side. It exploded when the vehicle was started,” he stated.
He explained that due to the sensitivity of the situation, he immediately contacted the Area Commander and other security authorities, who quickly mobilised officers to the scene.
According to him, dozens of police officers, about 35 operatives, were deployed to secure the area, while additional backup units were also drafted to ensure order and prevent residents from approaching the scene.
Faronbi said the swift response helped to calm tensions and prevent what could have escalated into panic within the community.
He added that security operatives later cordoned off the area and took control of the situation, moving in to assess the suspicious vehicle and safeguard residents.
He noted that the vehicle’s identity and ownership remained unclear, adding that residents were unable to confirm who had parked it or its purpose.
I came across the thread "Masked DSS Operatives Drag Sowore To Kuje Prison (Video)"....
It is pathetic watching the barbaric way lawless security agents forcefully dragged Sowore out of court. It is indeed a big shame what the zoo called Nigeria has become now....... If people do not rise up to demand justice for Sowore then it would be the highest betrayal as Sowore has sacrificed so much in the fight to rescue Nigerians from bad leaders. I've no doubt that Sowore won't get justice in the kangaroo court...... Zoo Nigeria is finished as a country, any sane sensible person should be demanding for a referendum towards total dissolution or total power devolution if the shameful country must continue to exist.
Just like Nnamdi Kanu and other freedom fighters unjustly incarcerated, Nigeria has failed Sowore.....
As it stands, no sensible person can vouch for fulani after all that their people did and continue to do to indigenous host communities around them. Let the good fulanis prove themselves by openly viciously condemning, exposing and staging massive public protests like other Nigerians against these atrocities done by their tribe men to show that they are not in any way complicit. I will once again reiterate, all fulanis are not terrorists but all islamic terrorists killing people are mainly fulanis. I did not at any point label all of them as bad but you constantly tried to twist my comment just to suite your narrative of justifying their occupation of your region. I'm not sure what you hope to gain from self-deceit but the fact remains that your region will bear the consequences of not doing enough to flush fulani bandits/terrorists out of your forest.
HacheNoire: So it’s all Fulani’s that live in forest?
I didn't say all but majority of forest dwellers scattered all over are fulanis.... You find them setup separate communities away from their hosts deep within the forest, is that normal to you?
As you keep trying to whitewash this behavior, I won't be surprised to read news of another abduction of your people or killing of your Oba tomorrow.....
HacheNoire: So it’s all Fulani’s that live in forest?
Is it normal to you that foreigners come into your region only to live in the forest, far away from where existing towns and communities reside? If you do not see that as a red flag then there is no need continuing this conversation.....
Why do fulanis prefer to live in the forest if they have no ulterior motives? Why don't they live with and participate in developing their host communities like how other tribes especially the igbos do? You can see the consequences of allowing that is already happening yet you still want to deceive yourself trying to compare it with South Africa xenophobia when it's not. Fulani migrated, expanded into geographical location we now call Nigeria mainly through conquest (Usman dan Fodio), they are not like other indigenous tribes....So as I said earlier, if you and your people are okay with them in your forest, gradually taking over your region, you are free to enjoy the ride....
HacheNoire: Like I stated earlier, even we Yoruba’s have our own criminals and no one has generalized us as criminals.
Bad element might be dominant in a tribe and it’s not enough reason to stigmatize a whole tribe!
We are after criminals in the West, not Fulani’s.
If Yoruba’s should use your logic as a baseline, only Yoruba’s will be in the West.
We not South Africans! We appreciate every contribution that makes the West great and a standard for all to follow.
We didn’t do that alone, we did it through the contribution of every tribe, ethnic groups and religions.
Hmm so eating beef and suya made by Fulani, buying madara from mushroom mami market business they run and BDCs are what you tag as massive economic benefit? Well I guess now that they have graduated to include terrorism and kidnapping to the list, hope you won't complain when you are directly affected since you want them to remain in your forest.....
HacheNoire: Let me educate you using Lagos has a case study. The Fulani’s contributed to the business robustness of Lagos more than you can ever think of.
Let’s go a deep dive to the 80’s where they brought trade to Lagos. They were the FIRST to partner with Yoruba’s in places like Agege, Ojo, Ikeja and Alimosho!
Do you know what was located in front of what you call Muritala international airport today? It was a BDC with Fulani’s, and Yoruba’s dominating currency trade.
I forgot to mention Ojota! Do you know how that location became a hub for agricultural produce?
Do you have any history how Agege became a hub for cows, goats and sheep’s? It was the long term cooperation of Hausa/Fulani’s and Yoruba’s.
Many legacy’s they had set long before even the South Easterners started investing in the West.
They brought massive trade and socio economic benefits.
You might want to attribute to military rule, but they were calm. Rare conflicts and love abound.
As a matter of fact, in those days, Agege was the best place to enjoy Sallah. Those Hausa/Fulani’s will mess everywhere up with beef!
You won’t even know we from different tribes!
Why do you think Yoruba’s tend to speak , understand and relate with Hausa’s/Fulani’s more than Igbo’s? It’s a decades old relationship.
APC vote vendors? I've said it here on several occasions that 2027 election is gone as nothing will change. Nigerians youths have lost it.... The few sane people left in the contraption who still value their future and self-respect must demand for referendum towards dissolution or regional autonomy to stand a chance of surviving and enjoying good governance in the near future.... As it stands, it is glaring now that there is nothing left, the contraption is finished.....
Politics › Video: Modu Sheriff Scared Of Peter Obi Separating The Wheat From The Chaff by truthera(op): 8:14pm On Jul 07*. Modified: 4:54am On Jul 08
