In distressing turn of events, terrorists launched a brazen attack on the Danhonu community within the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Saturday night. This incident, which has sent shockwaves through the region, involved the abduction of two journalists and their family members....Click Here To Continue Reading>>

The kidnapped journalists, identified as Abdulgafar Alabelewe of The Nation Newspaper and Abduraheem Aodu of Blueprint, were seized alongside their relatives in a terrifying raid.

According to eyewitness accounts and statements from the relatives of the abductees, the assailants infiltrated the community at approximately 10: 30 pm, unleashing a barrage of gunfire before forcibly taking their captives. The attack has left the community in a state of heightened fear and anxiety, as residents grapple with the trauma of the violent incursion.
The audacious nature of this assault underscores the persistent insecurity plaguing various parts of Kaduna State, particularly in the Chikun Local Government Area, which has frequently been a target of terrorist activities. The brazen nature of this attack, targeting high- profile individuals such as journalists, highlights the escalating threat posed by these criminal elements.

In the wake of the attack, security forces have been mobilized to track down the assailants and rescue the kidnapped individuals. Authorities have intensified their efforts, deploying personnel to comb the surrounding areas in a bid to locate the terrorists’ hideout and secure the safe return of the abducted journalists and their families. Despite these efforts, the whereabouts of the victims remain unknown, and the ordeal has further exacerbated concerns over the effectiveness of security measures in the region.

The region has been plagued by a series of kidnappings, armed robberies, and terrorist attacks, which have resulted in significant loss of life and property. Communities have been left vulnerable, with residents living in constant fear of the next attack.

David, who was the Head of the Department of Agricultural Economics, Extension and Rural Development, at the Federal University Dutsinma (FUDMA), was gunned down last week by bandits who abducted two of his children in Katsina State, northwest Nigeria....Click Here To Continue Reading>>

The bandits who murdered Dr. Tiri Gyan David, a senior lecturer, have reached out to his widow, demanding a ransom of N300 million in exchange for the release of their two abducted children.

David, who was the Head of the Department of Agricultural Economics, Extension and Rural Development, at the Federal University Dutsinma (FUDMA), was gunned down last week by bandits who abducted two of his children in Katsina State, northwest Nigeria.

SaharaReporters on July 2, 2024 reported the tragic incident and the abduction of the children.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday at his residence in Yarima Quarters, Low-Cost Estate in the Dutsinma Local Government Area of the state.

However, a friend of the family told SaharaReporters on Sunday that the terrorists contacted the lecturer’s widow and demanded the sum of N300 million to free her abducted boys.

The source said the terrorists “called Dr. David’s widow in the early hours of Sunday and his younger brother answered the call”.

“They demanded N300 million and his widow replied in the background telling them that ‘you’ve killed the person who may have probably been able to get something for you guys,’” the source said.

“I’m a widow and not a working-class type, how do you expect me to raise that kind of ransom?” she was quoted to have asked.

It was gathered that after hearing her voice, the terrorist on the phone asked, “Are you the woman whose two boys are here with us?”

According to the source, they ended the call and promptly switched off their phone, cutting off all further communication.

Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, Special counsel for the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has questioned why the IPOB leader has not been found guilty despite Nigerian government’s claims that he is guilty of terrorism-related charges....Click Here To Continue Reading>>

Kanu has been on trial since 2015.

Ejimakor explained that the trial is not a persecution rather than a prosecution.

Ejimakor made this known in an 18-minutes and 9 seconds video obtained by SaharaReporters on Sunday, stressing that the government knows that with the evidence available to it, Kanu’s conviction will be impossible.

He said, “His trial was making its way slowly at Abuja with all the several amendments the government was bringing, they walked away from treasonable felony, insulting the president, importation of equipment and terrorism, and that’s how it happened seven times, seven amendments.

“If Kanu was guilty, why is it taking so long to bring him to trial between 2015 and today, which is eight years?

“So what is undergoing? He’s not really a judicial trial, it’s trial by ordeal, trial by fire, imprisonment before conviction. They just want to get out many years of jail time out of him as possible, because they know that with the evidence available, conviction will be impossible.

“And that was made worse by the extraordinary rendition which I took also as a civil violation to a Federal High Court in Nigeria. And in October 2020, the court came down with a judgment, that extraordinary rendition was a violation of his constitutional rights, his fundamental rights and they awarded him N500 million, Nigerian Naira, that is about $800,000.

“So all round, everywhere that this matter has gone to including in July 2022 before the Human Rights Council at the United Nations, the Council came down with an opinion that what happened to Kanu in Kenya that brought him to Nigeria is a very grave violation of international law and directed that he should be released unconditionally.

“And of course the Court of Appeal in Nigeria did come down with a similar judgment in the same October 2022, discharging Kanu of all charges, and banned any further trial in any court in Nigeria, as a direct consequence of the extraordinary rendition.”

“So what more can you ask, for a man to deserve his freedom?” he added.

The governor’s generosity comes despite the prevailing economic difficulties and Ebonyi State’s struggles with poverty, as reflected in its low ranking on the poverty index....Click Here To Continue Reading>>

Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru donated 14 new SUVs to newly ordained priests of the Abakaliki Diocese, presenting the vehicles during their ordination at St. Theresa’s Catholic Cathedral in the state capital on Saturday.

The governor’s generosity comes despite the prevailing economic difficulties and Ebonyi State’s struggles with poverty, as reflected in its low ranking on the poverty index.

Governor Nwifuru explained that the donation of vehicles to the newly ordained priests was intended to support and facilitate their spiritual work, enabling them to effectively serve their flock and spread the word of God.

Last July, Governor Nwifuru showed similar generosity, gifting five vehicles to newly ordained priests, demonstrating his consistent support for the religious community in Ebonyi State.

Meanwhile, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, Ebonyi State ranks as the poorest state in Southern Nigeria, with a staggering 80% poverty rate, placing it fourth on the national poverty index. The state trails only Sokoto, Taraba, and Jigawa, all located in the Northern region of the country, in terms of poverty levels.

However, concerns are being raised about Governor Nwifuru’s priorities, as civil servants in Ebonyi State have recently expressed disappointment and frustration over the meagre N10,000 salary increment, which falls short of their expectations, sparking questions about the allocation of resources in the state.
