Tension gripped Uikpam village in Guma LGA, Benue State, after suspected Fulani herdsmen launched a deadly dawn raid on Thursday, July 24, 2025.

Eyewitnesses report that the attackers stormed local farms as residents slept. Farmer Gabriel Vandefan was killed and gruesomely beheaded while harvesting millet.

The atrocity sparked panic and outrage among villagers. Former media aide Jimin Geoffrey called it “yet another horrifying example” of worsening rural insecurity. He added that the assailants also severed one of Vandefan’s hands and carried it away.

Benue has suffered repeated assaults by armed herders. Just weeks earlier, militants killed over 200 people in a single night in nearby Yelwata community.

The Anambra State Police Command, in collaboration with Adamawa officers, carried out an intelligence-led raid in Uruagu, Nnewi on July 15, 2025. They arrested 43-year-old Uche Okoye, a suspected key player in an interstate child-trafficking network.

Officers rescued eleven children, aged three to six, who had been abducted from Adamawa. Investigators found that traffickers were selling boys for ₦1,500,000 and girls for ₦800,000 under the guise of adoption.

The rescued children are now with ACP Shuaibu Wara’s team for reunification with their families. CP Ikioye Uche Orutugu praised the joint effort and vowed to continue partnering with agencies nationwide to end child trafficking.

He warned would-be adopters to use only legal channels. The suspect is assisting with further investigations to dismantle the entire syndicate.

If these three had been Nigerian or simply African, they might have faced execution by now. Nigeria even accepts bribes for swift, painful sentences.

Phineas Ambrose Float, Jonathan Christopher Collyer and Lisa Ellen Stocker were stopped at Bali airport with nearly 1 kg of cocaine. Under Indonesia’s strict narcotics law, they faced the death penalty.

Their admission of guilt and polite behaviour in court led Judge Heriyati to reduce their sentence. Time served since February will count, so they’re expected to be released early next year.

This case highlights the stark privileges enjoyed by white nationals under harsh drug laws in Southeast Asia.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed the arrest of businessman Abdullahi Bashir Haske. He is a known associate of NNPCL GCEO Bashir Bayo Ojulari and son-in-law of opposition leader Atiku Abubakar. Haske faces charges of money laundering, corruption, and fraud.

Investigators allege he used complex financial structures and shell aviation firms to launder illicit funds. They say private jet flights and large cash transactions helped mask the movement of money. EFCC is also probing aviation contracts awarded through NNPC EnServe Ltd in the Upstream Directorate.

Sources indicate the inquiry may implicate Bashir Bayo Ojulari and probe links to Atiku Abubakar. The EFCC says it will pursue the case regardless of political influence. As of now, Haske remains in EFCC custody, and attempts to reach NNPCL or Atiku’s camp for comment have gone unanswered.

A speeding tipper lost control and ploughed into a crowd at the Chisco Park Junction in Amichi, Nnewi South LGA, Anambra State, around 9:30 pm on Friday, July 25. Witnesses say the out-of-control vehicle knocked down motorcyclists, a young girl, traders and other bystanders.

Video clips from the scene and CCTV footage show victims lying on the ground as residents and road users rush to offer rescue assistance. Some motorists escaped unhurt when they spotted the runaway tipper in time. Brake failure is suspected to have caused the crash.

Efforts to get casualty figures from FRSC Anambra Commandant CC Nnennaya Alexander have been unsuccessful. Spokesperson RC Margaret Onabe also promised a response but has yet to confirm details.

A Chief Magistrate Court in Abuja on Friday remanded social media influencer Ghali Isma'il to Keffi Correctional Centre. He was arrested by the DSS after posting videos that falsely claimed President Bola Tinubu died from a serious illness.

Isma'il uploaded the clips on his verified TikTok handle @bola_asiwaju. He faces two charges: publishing false news with intent to disturb public peace (Section 418, Penal Code Act) and inciting disaffection against the government (Section 416).

After arguments from DSS counsel and the defence, the judge denied bail. Presiding Judge Ekpeyong Iyang adjourned the case to August 19 for further hearing.

This incident echoes recent legal actions against online figures such as journalist Farooq Kperogi and separatist leaders Simon Ekpa and Nnamdi Kanu over allegedly inflammatory content.

Operatives of the Ondo State Security Network Agency, Amotekun, have arrested seven suspects and recovered stolen electronics and other goods valued at over N300 million.

The items, mainly phones and gadgets, were traced to a theft syndicate moving stolen goods from Lagos through Ojota Motor Park. Officers uncovered the scheme during a routine fuel stop and retrieved the cargo.

In a separate operation, two kidnap victims abducted along Itagbolu Road were rescued after 96 hours in the forest. No ransom was paid, and Amotekun credits community cooperation.

Other suspects include a local gang leader on the run for six months, a fugitive who jumped bail to Kano, and an individual tied to violent clashes with herders. Commander Adeleye says these actions have driven down kidnapping, robbery and cult-related crimes.

A TikTok video shows the moment nurse RaDonda Vaught was convicted for a medication error that killed a patient. The case sparked a debate on accountability and system failures in healthcare. 

Seventy-five-year-old Charlene Murphey was admitted for a subdural hematoma. Two days later, she was given vecuronium instead of Versed. The drugs were stored in an automated cabinet linked to hospital software. A glitch kept the correct drug from appearing on the nurse’s list.

During the trial, prosecutors highlighted Vaught’s use of the override function. Experts say overrides are common when systems lag. A Tennessee investigator blamed the hospital’s flawed setup but charged only the nurse.

The jury convicted Vaught of gross neglect and negligent homicide. She was acquitted of reckless homicide and received three years’ probation. This verdict has fuelled calls for stronger safeguards and shared accountability in healthcare.

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested three suspects for the stabbing death of a man known as Scoro during a public brawl on Lagos Island.

Police Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the arrests to PUNCH Metro. The incident followed a dispute over ownership of the Balogun Ultra Modern Market building. One party had won a court case, but their rivals refused to vacate the property.

According to anti-cultism group NaijaConfra, tensions rose between Idumota and Apongbon area boys. While searching for their rivals, three Idumota youths encountered Scoro, a transport union collector, and stabbed him to death. Scoro had no connection to the market dispute.

A local transport union leader and community elders quickly apprehended the suspects and handed them over to the police. The trio has since been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.

Last night, my pregnant wife and I were stopped by police officers without warning. They questioned me and asked who the woman beside me was. I told them she was my wife, but they demanded our marriage certificate or a wedding photo.

My wife confirmed we were married, yet the lead officer insisted on proof. They refused to let us go until I showed them a photo. I felt humiliated and was stuck at the station, causing me to miss an important appointment.

I want to know if I can sue the lead officer for damages. Is it possible to file a case for this unlawful detention and insult to my rights as a citizen?

Trusted sources at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) confirm the arrest of prominent businessman Abdullahi Bashir Haske. He faces allegations of money laundering, official corruption, and fraud.

Haske, who has close ties to NNPCL boss Bashir Bayo Ojulari and is son-in-law to opposition leader Atiku Abubakar, is accused of funnelling illegal funds through complex financial structures. Investigators say he misused public office and resources and set up both real and shell aviation companies for private jet leasing.

EFCC records indicate that private jet movements and large cash transfers were used to launder proceeds. The probe also examines aviation contracts awarded through NNPC EnServe Ltd under the Upstream Directorate. A network of fake firms is believed to conceal the true beneficiaries.

Sources stress that political connections will not derail the investigation. As of this update, Haske remains in EFCC custody. NNPCL and Atiku Abubakar have not responded to requests for comment.

Illegal baby factories are on the rise in Nigeria. Vulnerable pregnant girls are lured with care and then have their newborns sold. These infants end up with desperate couples, traffickers, or ritualists.

Government, religion, and culture have all failed to protect these mothers and children. Poverty and unemployment force people to choose desperate means. Women endure pregnancy only to lose their babies for meager fees and suffer lasting trauma.

To stop this trend, Nigeria needs stronger laws and strict enforcement. At the same time, we must create jobs and revive legitimate industries. Public education and community support will help end the ugly business of marketed babies.

Felix Michael Asam, a popular social media analyst and political critic, has praised content creator turned activist Stephen Umukoro, widely known as SK Records, for helping Nigerians who were allegedly scammed by Peter Odion, an associate of VeryDarkMan.

He criticized VeryDarkMan for focusing on a social media clash with Portable instead of helping scam victims recover their funds, which Asam argues is VeryDarkMan’s primary duty online.

This commendation comes after SK Records hosted Peter Odion on his TikTok Live session to resolve the dispute with affected clients.

Asam believes SK Records’ actions advance justice and accountability in the social media space and urges VeryDarkMan to take a more active role in resolving such issues, given the severity and the number of victims involved.

The Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the EFCC has secured final forfeiture of two tractors and two tricycles linked to Kayode Oyin-Zubair, a former Special Assistant on Community Intervention to the Kwara State Governor. Justice Haleema Saleeman of the Kwara State High Court dismissed his bid to set aside an interim forfeiture order, ruling that the assets were proceeds of unlawful activity.

Investigators traced the equipment to diverted funds from a transport empowerment scheme. Oyin-Zubair had sought N192 million from SEAP to buy 100 tricycles and 100 mini-buses for transport unions. Instead, N72 million in repayments was allegedly used to purchase the seized items in his name.

During proceedings, EFCC counsel Mustapha Kaigama presented bank records and witness testimony linking the misappropriated funds to the assets. The court granted final forfeiture of the properties to SEAP, concluding a case valued at N57.4 million.
