Angry Benue youths on Sunday staged a protest and blocked the Abuja-Makurdi highway, expressing outrage over the continued killings in the state.

The demonstrators, dressed in black attire and carrying palm fronds and placards with various inscriptions, barricaded the ever-busy road, disrupting vehicular movement and demanding immediate action to end the bloodshed.

It was observed that the protesters prevented vehicles from passing, causing gridlock and panic among commuters.

The protest comes barely 24 hours after suspected armed herdsmen launched a deadly attack on Yelewata community in Guma Local Government Area, where over 200 people were reportedly killed.

The Benue State Government had earlier issued a warning against unlawful gatherings and confrontations, particularly by youths, in the wake of escalating tensions across affected communities.

Despite the appeal for calm, the youths said they feel abandoned and are demanding concrete security measures and justice for the victims of the attacks.

Security men storm Abia PDP meeting over unapproved gathering.

Join our WhatsApp group

There was drama in Obingwa LGA of Abia State on Friday as a meeting organised by members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at a community square was abruptly relocated to another venue.

The relocation followed the sudden arrival of operatives from the Abia State combined security outfit, Operation Crush, at the scene.

Although the Operation Crush personnel neither arrested nor molested any PDP member, their silent presence caused the crowd to disperse in various directions before regrouping at a private location where the meeting resumed.

It was gathered that the PDP meeting was a fallout of a solidarity visit paid to the former Governor of the State, Okezie Ikpeazu, by his former appointees a day earlier.

A senior official of Obingwa LGA, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated that PDP did not obtain the necessary approval to hold the meeting in a public space, thereby posing a potential security risk.

Lagos PDP

He recalled that a regulation introduced by the immediate past administration had prohibited any political gathering in a public place without prior approval from the government.

However, the chairman of PDP in Obingwa LGA, Aham Egbulefu, insisted that his party had obtained approval before convening the disrupted meeting.

Meanwhile, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Alex Otti, Ukoha Njoku Ukoha, remarked that the organisers of the meeting “did not mean well for Abia State” but were merely engaged in “content creating auditioning.”

“I’ve never been good at debunking. Since everyone has the right to their own viewpoint, I would rather let amateurs and lazy, unemployed minds think and share whatever they want.

However, I chose to speak up for myself because I have a family, children, and people who look up to me. My narrative can’t be told by anyone. It is not your tale; it is mine. I am the only one who can tell you what is going on in my life.

Air Peace becomes first Nigerian airline to land in St. Kitts & Nevis

Nigeria’s largest airline, Air Peace, has become the first-ever Nigerian carrier to land a flight in St. Kitts & Nevis as it launches its maiden trip to Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport in Basseterre.

The airline said that it became the first Nigerian dateline on the arrivals board of St. Kitts and Nevis when it brought a Boeing 777 to the airport on Thursday, June 12, 2025.

The statement reads: “The milestone service, arranged for a Pan-African business conference in the Eastern Caribbean, carried delegations from Nigeria, thereby underscoring the airline’s growing trajectory and strategic foray into the global market.

“The St. Kitts & Nevis flight is the airline’s third foray into the Caribbean in five years. On December 21, 2020, the carrier operated an 11-hour flight from Lagos to Montego Bay, establishing the first nonstop link between Nigeria and Jamaica, and showcasing the long-range potential of Air Peace’s then-new triple-seven fleet. On 5 August 2023, another Boeing 777 carried investors and carnival-goers from Lagos to V.C. Bird International Airport in Antigua & Barbuda, earning Air Peace the distinction of being the first Nigerian airline to land in the twin-island state. Now, with the 12 June 2025 service to St. Kitts & Nevis, the airline has completed a triad of firsts, establishing direct access to three key Caribbean territories.

“The flight relied on one of Air Peace’s two Boeing 777 aircraft, which also sustain the airline’s daily Lagos–London Gatwick schedule launched on 30 March 2024—another historic achievement for a private Nigerian carrier. Chairman and CEO, Dr. Allen Onyema, has hinted that more long-haul aircraft are on the way. In April 2024, he told Arise TV that the airline is finalising acquisitions that will underpin the Abuja–London route, as well as planned services to Houston and New York.”

Democracy: Nigeria has a long way to multi-party system – Agbakoba

Olisa Agbakoba, a Nigerian Senior Advocate, praises Nigeria’s 26 years of continuous civilian leadership but laments that the nation still has a long way to go before achieving multi-party democracy.

The SAN revealed this while featuring as a guest on Channels Tv politics today

A multi-party democracy with a clearly defined role for the opposition is required to replace the current system, in which nearly everyone aspires to be a member of the ruling party, according to the former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).

“The fact that we have done 26 years uninterrupted, I would like to look at it as half-full glass. I like to be optimistic and say that it is a long journey and that we have come a long way from the days of the military,” Agbakoba said on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday.

“It is not perfect. There is a lot that still needs to be done. Democracy still needs to be consolidated. Even in the president’s broadcast at the joint session at the National Assembly, he alluded to the fact that we have a long way to go; we don’t have a strong multi-party system of democracy.

Dr-Olisa-Agbakoba

“We still have a situation of just one party where everyone wants to join the national elite party. Whether it’s the PDP, APGA or APC, the manifestoes are not different. So, we still got a long way to go to achieve multi-party democracy where you have a clearly defined opposition and a clearly defined ruling party.”

Agbakoba also urged Tinubu to provide local government councils the political authority to run their regions, claiming that the July 2024 Supreme Court ruling only goes half the way towards giving them financial autonomy.

Strike looms at national hospital Abuja as NMA issues ultimatum

The management of the National Hospital in Abuja has been given a 14-day warning strike notice by the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) branch, in response to the termination of three medical consultants.

At the association’s Ordinary General Meeting (OGM), which took place on June 11 at the Federal Medical Centre in Abuja, a decision was made to go on strike.

national hospital

The NMA FCT sent a letter to the Chief Medical Director of the National Hospital in Abuja, announcing the strike, calling for the doctors’ immediate reinstatement and characterising the doctors’ dismissal as “selective victimisation” and “scape goating.” The letter also accused the hospital management of failing to provide a valid reason for the dismissal of the 27 other doctors who were allegedly casualized as locum consultants for three years.

The letter, jointly signed by the chairman and assistant secretary of the NMA FCT, Dr. Ayogu Emeka and Dr. Usman Hafiz, was titled “Notice of 14 days strike ultimatum for vehemently refusing to reinstate our disengaged members.” It explained that attempts to resolve the issue through high-level advocacy, including visits led by the National President of the NMA, Dr. Bala M. Audu, and senior officials of the FCT chapter, had not been successful.

The disengagement coincides with a deterioration of the brain drain in the healthcare industry, making already overburdened resources even more vulnerable to mental health issues and financial instability among surviving staff, according to the NMA FCT.

According to the statement, doctors stationed at the National Hospital, Abuja, will commence a strike from June 15 to 29, pending a total and indefinite strike from June 30, with the entire NMA FCT membership set to join after seven days if the sacked doctors are not reinstated within the timeframe.

Reports state that Ashafa had not been seen in public for a long, and that his younger brother, Waliu Ashafa, and his chief of staff handled the majority of the council’s tasks that needed his involvement.

Ashafa is the council’s chairman for a second term. He served as the APC Chairman in Otto-Awori LCDA before to being appointed council head.

Ashafa rose to prominence in 1997 during the late General Sanni Abacha’s military rule when he was elected Chairman of the old Ojo Local Government in the zero-party election.

Since then, he has been involved in Ojo axis politics, working his way up to become the local APC chairman and eventually the substantive council leader.

In the last 12 months, the APC has lost roughly four council chairs.

June 12: MKO Abiola’s family demands N45bn contract debt details

0
MKO Abiola
The late Chief Moshood (MKO) Abiola’s family has requested information about the N45 billion that the Federal Government is allegedly owed.

The call came after former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido made a recent remark in which he urged President Bola Tinubu to provide the Abiola family with compensation as a sign of justice and national reconciliation.

Join our WhatsApp group

Lamido demanded that the Federal Government provide the business tycoon’s heirs almost N45 billion, reviving a dispute over money purportedly owing to the late MKO Abiola.

Late MKO Abiola

During the May 2025 premiere of his biography, “Being True to Myself,” in Abuja, Lamido informed guests that MKO Abiola’s business, International Telephone & Telegraph, had fulfilled significant communications contracts for the military government in the 1970s but had never received full payment.

According to him, MKO Abiola privately verified the amount when Lamido paid him a visit just before his incarceration in 1994, and a former president of state, Murtala Muhammad, recognised the debt prior to his 1976 assassination.

The unpaid payment was presented by Lamido as “double punishment,” claiming that Abiola was first denied the president following the annulment of his June 12, 1993, election victory and then denied the contract money he was entitled to.

He contended that resolving the issue will show President Bola Tinubu’s dedication to justice for pro-democracy leaders and provide moral and symbolic closure to Nigeria’s protracted June 12 saga.

“Abiola kept faith with this country; paying what is owed will close the chapter decently,” Lamido told the audience, which included Information Minister, Mohammed Idris, whom he asked to relay the appeal to the President.

Court of Appeal clears ex-NIMASA DG, Akpobolokemi of N754.8m fraud case.

lagos

Join our WhatsApp community

The Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, has discharged and acquitted former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Patrick Akpobolokemi, of alleged fraud involving N754.8 million.

In a unanimous judgment delivered on Friday, the appellate court upheld Akpobolokemi’s appeal and overturned the ruling of the Ikeja High Court, which had earlier dismissed his no-case submission.

The court quashed the 12-count charge filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The EFCC had initially accused Akpobolokemi of conspiracy, stealing, and forgery in connection with purported illegal transfers from the account of the VIMSAS Committee.

While he was initially arraigned alongside several others, the charges were later amended to focus solely on him and one co-defendant.

Justice Raliatu Adebiyi of the trial court had previously held that the EFCC had established a prima facie case against the defendants and directed them to open their defence.

Akpobolokemi, through his counsel, Ogbonna and Kunle Gbolahan, challenged the ruling, arguing that the prosecution had failed to establish any direct link between him and the alleged offences.

EFCC

The appeal pointed to the reliance on inadmissible evidence and uncorroborated testimonies of prosecution witnesses, including PW9, PW10, and PW11, as well as Exhibits P59 to P61.

The appellate court found merit in the appeal, holding that Akpobolokemi was neither a member of the VIMSAS Committee nor a signatory to any of its accounts.

It also held that he did not authorize or sign any withdrawal instructions or internal memoranda related to the transactions in question.

The court emphasized that trial courts are bound to act only on legally admissible evidence and noted that the evidence relied upon in this case should have been excluded, regardless of whether objections were raised during trial.

By striking out the charges and entering an acquittal, the Court of Appeal brought the protracted legal proceedings against Akpobolokemi to a close.

During the trial, Akpobolokemi’s defence consistently argued that the EFCC had not substantiated its case, while the prosecution, led by Rotimi Oyedepo, maintained that the testimonies of 12 witnesses supported the charges.

Presidency clears the air on Tinubu’s national honour to Aisha Yesufu.

Tinubu

Join our WhatsApp community

The Nigerian presidency said on Friday it never awarded any national honours featuring the name of popular activist Aisha Yesufu.

Temitope Ajayi, Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Publicity, stated this on Friday.

It was reported that President Tinubu conferred honours on many Nigerians and rights activists on Thursday.

One of the recipients of the President’s honours include Shehu Sani, a popular Nigerian activist and former parliamentarian.

Meanwhile, activists Aisha Yesufu does not support the All Progressives Congress, APC, and has frequently said that Tinubu is not her President.

She has remained an ardent follower and supporter of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi.
Yesufu believes that the ideologies being championed by Peter Obi are what Nigeria needed for a better country and has openly criticized the current administration at any given opportunity.

apc
President Tinubu

She is even of the opinion that the 2023 presidential election was won by her candidate, Peter Obi but was allegedly rigged in favour of the APC and its candidate, Bola Tinubu.

For these reasons and more, there was confusion over one Aisha Yesufu whose name featured in the honours list, with an X user calling the attention of the Bring Back Our Girls activist, saying, “It’s your own Aisha Yesufu. It is a reward for years of supporting the APC. You have Tinubu to thank. Buhari ignored you despite voting and supporting him. But Tinubu has rewarded you. Thank him and stop being an ingrate.”

Aisha Yesufu responded saying, “God forbid!

“It can never be this Aisha Yesufu. Thank you”

Providing clarification to the viral list of an extended awardees, Temitope Ajayi, wrote on X, “The story on a viral list of national honours featuring the name of Aisha Yesufu and others credited to the Leadership newspaper is fake news. It should be ignored.”

He went on to explain that President Tinubu did not award fresh honours to Nigerians apart from the ones contained in the President’s Democracy Day speech at the National Assembly.

Tragedy struck Yelewata on Friday night as suspected armed herdsmen launched a deadly attack around 10:00 pm, leaving several people dead and many others injured.

According to early reports received around 4:00 am Saturday, at least 16 individuals sustained varying degrees of injuries in the assault.

The exact number of fatalities is yet to be confirmed, as authorities continue to gather information from the scene.

“These brave men paid the ultimate price in service to our people. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten,” a community source stated, mourning the fallen security operatives.

Survivors of the attack are currently receiving treatment at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH) in Makurdi. Medical personnel have made an urgent appeal for blood donations to save the lives of the injured.

Citizens and humanitarian organizations have been urged to provide immediate support to the victims, especially through blood donations and medical assistance.

My heartfelt condolences go to the families of the victims, especially our fallen heroes in uniform,” said a concerned resident, who also refrained from sharing graphic images from the scene out of respect for the victims and community standards.
