To protect Kirawa and other nearby areas that border the Cameroun Republic and the Gwoza local government area, Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South, has urged military officials to send troops.
Following Friday’s Boko Haram attack along the Kirawa-Pulka route at approximately 3 p.m., which resulted in the death of one Civilian Joint Task Force (Name withheld) and numerous injuries to drivers and passengers, he made this plea.

In response to the event that occurred in his district, Ndume bemoaned the lack of a military presence in Kirawa on Saturday morning. He also mentioned that the few tenacious hunters, vigilantes, and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force are always overburdened with the task of protecting the area.

“It was very discouraging to hear that some armed Boko Haram terrorists ambushed drivers and passengers along Kirawa-Pulka road yesterday,” he said. A few members of the Civilian Joint Task Force escorted the victims because there was no military escort available because Camerounian forces stationed in Kirawa were dislodged last month.

Many people are still missing as I write this, and regrettably, one of our Brave Civilian Joint Task Force members was murdered during the gunfight in the ambush. The incident resulted in the burning of at least six vehicles, including three lorries, a bus, and two Golf Volkswagen Saloons.

The families of the fallen Civilian Joint Task Force members have my condolences. As we offer prayers for the speedy recovery of the injured and the safety of the unaccounted-for, may his soul rest in peace.

“Let me also urge the military authorities to send troops, even if it is just a platoon, to protect Kirawa and its citizens, as my people are now constantly afraid after Camerounian troops based there were driven out last month.”

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) was filled with jeers on Friday as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized nations that had just voted to recognize Palestine as a state.
During his speech, Netanyahu reportedly denounced nations that have chosen to accept Palestinian independence, calling their actions “shameful, sheer madness, and insane.”

Such measures, he contended, would only give terrorism more confidence worldwide.

However, his remarks caused some audience members to disagree, leading to a walkout by several of the delegates. The protest went on until a UN representative had to request silence before the Israeli prime minister could continue.

According to Netanyahu, acknowledging Palestinian statehood would be equivalent to supporting terrorism against Jews and innocent people everywhere.

After Hamas’ October 7 attack, Netanyahu likened the quest for Palestinian statehood to the offer made to al Qaeda for a state close to New York City following the September 11 attacks.

Israel would not permit countries to “shove a terror state” down their throats, Netanyahu declared.

“Terrorism against Jews and innocent people worldwide will be encouraged by your shameful choice. It will be a disgrace to all of you.

Intolerant zealots who carried out and encouraged the Sabbath massacre are receiving the ultimate reward as a result of your actions.

“It would be equivalent to giving al Qaeda a state one mile from New York City after September 11 if the Palestinians were granted a state one mile from Jerusalem after October 7.”

Because you lack the will to confront hostile media and antisemitic mobs calling for Israel’s blood, he declared, “We will not commit national suicide.”

World leaders are being influenced by “biased media, radical Islamist constituencies, and anti-Semitic mobs,” the Israeli prime minister continued, denouncing the war in Gaza.

Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia’s Principal Special Assistant on Youth and Media Mobilization, Atu Terver, has responded to a claim made against him by social media activist and critic Martin Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, VDM.

A car dealer allegedly vanished following a N1.2 billion transaction with the Benue Government, according to a video that VDM shared on his Facebook page on Friday.

The critic claims that the Benue government failed to pay the suspected missing dealer N1.2 billion for nine automobiles.

“To the executive governor of Benue State, the car dealer for whom your government owes 1.2 billion naira for nine vehicles that your government seized appears to have vanished.”

He informed me during our most recent conversation that he had been summoned to a meeting in an Abuja hotel by one of your cabinet members.

“Please release him if you are holding him, Rev. Fr. Alia. On his Facebook site, VDM posted a video that went viral with the question, “What is his crime?”

The governor cannot “stoop as low as abducting someone,” according to Atu, also known as Krayzeetee, who refuted the abduction implication in a comment beneath the article.

Many people won’t agree with me because, as he remarked, “a lot of things here don’t actually add up but it’s dragging a governor.”

“You mentioned that he was called by a cabinet member, but who is that cabinet member? And what about the number he called?

You mentioned the previous day that other government officials were urging him to make a payment without naming anyone.

You should learn a lot from Ahmed Isah of the Berekete family, in my opinion. He would have tried to get in touch with the governor if this situation had been brought to his attention, but he didn’t. You’ll be fine as long as it generates traffic and a lot of comments criticizing the governor.

“As a devout man, Governor Alia is incapable of descending to the level of kidnapping someone. Always get in touch with both parties before taking action in the pursuit of justice.

Just let me give you some advice. If you have followers, you are not God.

During his coronation ceremony, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, the 44th Olubadan, called for the establishment of the state of Ibadan.
According to reports, former Kano State Governor Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former Osun State Governor Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi, former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke, and Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III attended the coronation ceremony.

Speaking to the people of Ibadan after being given the staff of office by Governor Seyi Makinde, Ladoja said that the people’s top priority was for President Bola Tinubu to create Ibadan State before 2027.

“My people sent me a message to Mr President,” the monarch declared in Yoruba. They stated that the establishment of Ibadan State is their top objective, Mr. President.

In the meantime, Oba Tajudeen Ajibola, the Balogun of Ibadan-designate, has clarified why Oba Rashidi Ladoja, the Olubadan-designate, will be crowned in a civilized and orderly manner.

In contrast to the disputes that followed the rise of the late Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, Ajibola told Punch on Thursday that the events preceding Ladoja’s accession to the throne had brought the kingmakers together.

When Oba Olakulehin was being chosen, Ajibola, who was Otun Balogun at the time, recounted that he had resisted the procedure, arguing that the late king should be given more time to become suitable for the throne.

Dangote Refinery has verified that the dismissal of numerous Nigerian employees who joined the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN) has had a little impact on workers.
According to reports, Dangote Refinery fired all of its Nigerian employees less than twenty-four hours after ninety percent of them joined the PENGASSAN.

The personnel were fired for repeated acts of sabotage that have impacted operational efficiency and caused safety issues, the company stated in a statement posted on its 𝕏 account on Friday.

According to the petroleum refinery, despite the current reorganization, more than 3,000 Nigerians are still employed by the corporation.

“The Dangote Petroleum Refinery wishes to clarify recent reports concerning the ongoing reorganization within its facility,” the statement said. This is not an arbitrary exercise. The refinery has to be protected from recurring acts of sabotage that have compromised operational efficiency and generated safety concerns.

The aforementioned decision was made in the refinery’s best interest due to sporadic instances of sabotage in its various units, which had serious safety implications and detrimental effects on human life.

“We continue to be aware of our internal processes and weaknesses in order to guarantee the long-term stability of this vital national resource. Protecting the refinery is essential for the benefit of Nigerians, our African partners, and the thousands of people whose livelihoods depend on it.

At the moment, more than 3,000 Nigerians are still employed full-time at our petroleum refinery. Since we are still hiring, just a very tiny percentage of our team was impacted.

Through our numerous graduate trainee programs and skilled hiring procedure, we are able to find Nigerian talent.

The freedom of every worker to choose whether or not to join a union is one of the globally recognized labor values that we acknowledge and respect. Our dedication to the rights of workers is unshakeable.

“Africa’s energy independence is strengthened, good, long-term jobs are created, and Nigerians are served by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery. We will keep collaborating with our stakeholders, employees, and regulators to maintain the greatest levels of accountability, transparency, and safety.
