Bandits attack Governor Matawalle’s local government, killing 42 people.
Bandits killed 42 farmers in five communities in Faru, Maradun Local Government Area, Zamfara State. They shot indiscriminately at the people and set fire to their homes and stores, a local resident said. The bandits raided the village after the arrest and killing of two of their members last Wednesday. The police were unable to reach the affected communities in a timely manner, Shehu said. Police are working “tirelessly” to apprehend the bandits, he said.
Their bodies were taken to Faru town and buried there, according to him. The bandits have been killed.
On Thursday evening, bandits killed 42 farmers in five communities in Faru, Maradun Local Government Area, Zamfara State. Governor Mohammed Bello Matawalle is a local government official.
Tsauni, Gudan-Baushi, Gidan-Adamu, Wari, and Gudan-Maidawa are among the communities affected.

Malam Buba Faru, a local resident, claimed that the bandits, who rode over 100 motorcycles, stormed the communities a few kilometers east of Faru town.
According to Buba, the bandits shot indiscriminately at the people and set fire to their homes and stores.
“They were shooting at people they came across in the five communities on a sporadic basis. They also attacked farmers who were cultivating their crops on their farms. Security and volunteer groups in the area have recovered 42 dead bodies so far.”
In a telephone interview yesterday, another village resident, Ahmed Lawali, confirmed the deadly invasion, saying the bandits, numbering up to 70, stormed the village at around 4.30 p.m., when most of the victims were working on their farms.
He explained that the marauding bandits who were on a vengeance mission to the village followed the farmers to their farms and began shooting sporadically, killing 39 people, mostly men, on the spot.
According to him, the bandits raided the village after the arrest and killing of two of their members last Wednesday along the Mafara-Faru road by a vigilante group known as Yan’sakai, who nabbed them with two AK-47 rifles.
“Bandits armed with sophisticated weapons attacked Faru Village yesterday (Thursday) around 4:30pm while some of us were still working on our farms,” he said. They (bandits) killed 39 people and injured many more on their farms.
“They (bandits) attacked the village because Yan’sakai arrested and killed two bandits with two AK-47 rifles along the Mafara-Faru road last Wednesday. It was a mission of retaliation.
”We buried all the dead bodies this morning (Friday) after Friday prayer, in accordance with Islamic rights. We are requesting assistance from security agencies so that we can return to our farms, as farming is our primary source of income here (in Faru).”
While confirming the incident, Zamfara State Police Public Relations Officer SP. Muhammad Shehu stated that 35 people died as a result of the bandit attack in the village.
He went on to say that a joint security task force consisting of military, police, and the NSCDC had been dispatched to the area, and that “normalcy has been restored right now.”
Their bodies were taken to Faru town and buried there, according to him.
Shehu stated that due to the road network, the police were unable to reach the affected communities in a timely manner when they were informed of the bandits’ attack.
“When the police received information that the bandits were present, they tried their hardest to reach the affected communities, but they were unable to do so due to bad roads,” he said.
The “police are currently working tirelessly” to apprehend the bandits, he said.

Keeping schools open amid a second wave of Covid19
The lockdown against coronavirus has been severe, and easing of restrictions to guard against the spread of the virus has been troubled.
As the country goes through a phase of reopening and restoring livelihoods, the new reality has emerged of a second wave of the pandemic.
It comes as new cases of coronavirus infections, which had earlier levelled off, began tipping up a second time.
It also comes at a time when businesses and places of worship had to reopen—and children who had been locked out of school for months, nearly losing an entire academic year, had to return to the classroom.
The big question Nigerians are having to answer is how to keep children safe in school.
How will social distancing, hand-washing, mask wearing, and all the other restrictions be introduced to help check the spread of COVID-19, and to be maintained in a school, an environment where children typically spend nearly half a day together, five days a week?
What students need to stay in school
What schools need are facilities for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), according to a needs assessment by the Victims Support Fund’s Taskforce on COVID-19.
Three schools in Enugu in late March were among the latest schools to receive a consignment of facilities for water, sanitation and hygiene: Girls Secondary School, Ngwo; Boys Secondary School, Agbani; and Community Secondary School, Ugbene Ajima.
Each school got a solar-powered borehole, four hand wash stations, 2,000 reusable face masks, 20 litres of hand sanitiser, 120 bottles of 500ml handwash, and five cartons of bleach.
The VSF chairman Gen TY Danjuma (rtd) had in March last year set up a taskforce on COVID-19 to facilitate the intervention.
As the country eases back into a semblance of normalcy, such donations have become necessary for life in the new normal.
Providing the materials needed to restrict the spread of COVID-19 in schools is a mandate VSF has taken up. It has a mandate to provide the materials across a total 54 schools in 18 states.
Enugu’s commissioner for education, Uche Eze, received the donated items from Sunday Oibe and Alkasim Abdulkadir, members of the VSF Task Force on COVID-19 chaired by Toyosi Akerele-Ogunsiji in a symbolic handover.
Eze commended the fund for its “kind gesture” and said the state would ensure the facilities were “protected and maintained”.
From north east concerns to hygiene
So far the donations have gone to three schools each in Enugu, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Kaduna, Jigawa, Osun, Ondo, Oyo, Plateau, Nasarawa, Abia, Bauchi, Kebbi, Bayelsa, Edo, Borno, Taraba and the FCT.
It is the third phase of the task force’s distribution of food items and personal protective equipment, costing approximately N1 billion in a marked expansion of the VSF’s mandate from focusing on internally displaced persons and victims of disasters to other vulnerable communities in other parts of the country beyond the northeast.
In its larger distribution, each state gets 10,000 bottles of 250ml hand sanitisers, 5,000 standard face mask, 20,000 reusable face masks as well as a minimum of 1,174 each of hazmat suits, goggles, pairs of boots and pairs of latex gloves.

Beyond schools and their needs to observe prescribed restrictions, food items have gone to vulnerable communities in respective states to help them combat hunger – with an average of 5,000 households in each of the 19 states across the six regions of the country receiving food palliatives of 10kg of rice, 10kg beans, 10kg maize, 4-litre container of oil and 2kg of salt.
It is the protective equipment that have been most elevating for schools as they continue to navigate the vagaries of keeping children safe, preventing spread of coronavirus and teaching children with the prospect of new restrictions and possible lockdowns constantly hanging in the air.
Yusuf Usman is the chairman of the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) at Government Junior Secondary School, NAF Base in Kaduna. He met the donation presented to the school on behalf of parents of the school.
“We really, deeply appreciate it,” he said. “You do your search [for schools in need] without lobbying. If it were lobbying, we are nobody. We thank the coordinators for the exercise,” he said on the day the school took delivery of the donations.
A similar donation in Oyo has been made to communities in which the three chosen schools are located, especially the solar-powered borehole.
“We will make judicious use of this water to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and it will be beneficial to the surrounding community,” said Amina Atere, permanent secretary of Oyo State Education Ministry at the handover of WASH facilities to schools in the state.
She officially opened the borehole in February. For accountability and visibility, the items were handed over to the state’s department for planning, research and statistics.
“Research shows Oyo is viable for the donation,” said Akerele-Ogunsiji.
“We want the world to see the faces of people who receive these items on the side of the school. When they are holding the VSF accountable, they are also holding you accountable on the side of the school.”
Osubi Airport Re-Opens For Flight Operations 17months After Closure
Osubi Airport near Warri in Delta State re-opens for normal flight operations after it was officially shut down in February 2020 under a new management of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) yesterday with it hosting its first plane, AirPeace Hopper with registration number 5N-BUZ touching down at 8.40am.
Speaking at a brief reopening ceremony, RT. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Speaker, DeltaState House of Assembly (DTHA) expressed happiness over the re-opening of the Airport in his Community of Okpe local government area of Delta State.
In his remarks at the re-opening ceremony of the Airport shut down seventeen months ago, the Speaker described the moment as one of his happiest days on earth.

Rt. Hon. Oborevwori, who represents Okpe State Constituency in the State House of Assembly said, “today is one of my happiest days and indeed a great pleasure to make this remarks”.
RT. Hon. Obrevwori added, “we are here to witness the re-making of history. I say this because on the 17th of April, 1999 when the Osubi Airport was commissioned. It was the first of its kind in the State. It attracted headlines as a major breakthrough in air transportation in the State. Unfortunately, following controversy involving aviation service providers and management of the Airport, it was closed in February, 2020.”
According to him, “one year and five months after the shutdown, we are here gathered to witness the reopening of the Osubi Airport by the Federal Government. To me, this is a milestone for the State and Okpe Local Government Area in particular.”
He appreciated Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for making the reopening of the Airport a priority by engaging the Federal Government and for keeping with his promise.
“His Excellency provided and installed all the safety requirements which include all procedures, practices and COVID – 19 protocols. His Excellency also provided an ambulance and made provisions for maintenance for the takeoff of the reopening of the Airport. Your Excellency sir, we are grateful to you. Our special appreciation also goes to the Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, for granting the approval for the reopening”.
Pan- Yoruba group accuses southern governors of overheating the polity: 2023 Presidency
A pan-Yoruba advocacy group, Yoruba Appraisal Forum (YAF) on Friday, claimed that the position canvased by Southern Governors ahead of the 2023 election is tantamount to “overheating the Polity” and called for caution over the ongoing national debate on which part of the country will produce President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor.
The Southern Governors at their meeting in Lagos earlier this week insisted that the presidency must rotate to the South in the coming dispensation, a position YAF claimed is generating needless tension between the North and South.
YAF said that the tension being generated by the resolutions of the Southern governors’ meeting with the rest of the country has become a cause for concern amongst all Nigerians.

Already, Northern governors and elders, youths as well as various groups have rejected the position of the Southern governors, particularly on power shift and other demands made by them last Monday in Lagos.
The Yoruba coalition alleged that some powerful politicians and individuals have leveraged on the issues to mobilize traditional rulers and groups from different ethnic nationalities to agitate in support of the position of the governors.
Comrade Adeshina Animashaun, YAF National Coordinator in a statement noted that the utterances of some of the civil society groups already recruited by these powerful politicians, creating tension across some of the Southern States is not promoting peaceful coexistence of various tendencies.
Wike warns gubernatorial candidates against blackmail
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, warned blackmailers and those seeking to sow discord in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday that such behavior will not earn them the party’s ticket for the 2023 governorship election.
Wike insisted that he would only support someone with the vision and political clout to champion the cause of the state gradually as his successor in 2023.
He made the remarks at the inauguration of the official residence of Rivers State House of Assembly Speaker Ikuinyi-Owaji Ibani at the Old GRA in Port Harcourt.
He stated that he was more concerned about the state’s future progress after his tenure, adding, “I cannot support anyone who cannot move Rivers State forward.” I will stand by those who care about the state and have the courage to continue to support the party.”
Wike emphasized that no serious politician focused on winning elections in Rivers State could ignore the electoral strength of the Obio-Akpor Council, arguing that as governor from the council with the most electable voters, anyone aspiring to the governorship position would require him.
He reaffirmed the Speaker’s position, stating that anyone plotting to depose him would be fighting against the party and should be prepared to face the consequences.
He clarified that he never said that all national or state lawmakers were conspiring against him, and he urged newspaper columnists and other public commentators to demonstrate a good understanding of their expressions in their conversations.
“I never said all of the legislators were plotting against me, but I am aware of what they are doing. “There is a difference between all members of the National Assembly and some members, just as there is a difference between the state House of Assembly and some members,” he said.

Wike commented on Ibani’s new official residence, noting that the official quarters had been abandoned until he intervened, adding that the intervention was possible due to the cordial relationship between the state’s legislature and the executive.
He also denied reports that the state government was in debt to some commercial banks, emphasizing that his administration owed no bank and challenging anyone with contrary evidence to show it.
Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Austin Opara, who unveiled the official quarters, stated that the Wike administration had positively infused all arms of government, sectors, and the local government system.
FG cracks down on Arik and Bi-Courtney as their debts reach N37 billion
The Federal Government has stated its willingness to crack down on debtors in the aviation sector, where accumulated debt has reached N37 billion. Hadi Sirika, Minister of Aviation, stated yesterday at the weekly ministerial briefing that Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL) and Arik Airline are the largest debtors to various aviation agencies.
In a related development, the Federal Government has directed airline operators to reimburse passengers for the full cost of travel tickets after a two-hour delay.
Sirika stated in November 2020 that the total debt burden of local airlines to regulatory agencies stood at N22 billion. Unremitted Ticket Sales Charge (TSC) and Cargo Sales Charge (CSC) collected on behalf of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and its sister agencies totaled N19.37 billion and $6,993,284 million (N2.7 billion), according to a breakdown.
Yesterday, he said the debt had risen to N37 billion, causing concern among agencies and service providers to the sector. He stated that the government had used great discretion in handling the situation, but vowed that the authorities would not hesitate to pursue the debtors.
“In fact, service providers in our system have said, ‘These guys owe us, we should deduct the money from the money given as palliatives.’ We said no; President Buhari’s intention is to mitigate the impact on businesses. Let us figure out a way to survive, and they can take the money.
“This raises the issue of the money owed to the parastatals. They owe about N37 billion, with Arik being the main culprit. I’m aware that they owe us approximately N14 billion. You owe FAAN if you owe the government. As of the last count, Bi-Courtney owed approximately N14 billion. It has not paid a single dime since it began operating the terminal building. And we haven’t stopped providing him with things like electricity, water, and fire protection. He hasn’t paid anything in 13 years.
“And if we go to close his doors, the media and Nigerians will say we are killing businesses, but he is also killing our services. Because we need that money to provide for the toilet you’re looking at in Lagos International Airport. We’ll go after the cash.”
The BASL facility in question, Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal II (MMA2) in Lagos, is the subject of a lingering dispute between BASL and FG/FAAN over breaches of agreement, for which Bi-Courtney has also claimed N200 billion in compensation.
BASL, the operator of Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos Terminal Two (MMA2), denied any debt to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) in a statement issued by its spokesman, Mikail Mumuni. “On the contrary, it is FAAN that owes Bi-Courtney over N200 billion by depriving it of its legitimate earnings over the past 14 years,” he said in a statement Thursday night.
This, he claimed, arose as a result of FAAN opening and operating the General Aviation Terminal (GAT), thus competing with BASL for government funds in the operation of the Domestic Terminal, a clear violation of the concession agreement.
“In accordance with the dispute resolution process outlined in the agreement, BASL received an arbitration award in its favor. It also received a High Court decision, six Court of Appeal decisions, and a Supreme Court decision, all of which were in its favor and upheld the monetary award,” he said.
Mumuni emphasized that the courts ruled that any debt alleged by FAAN against BASL should be deducted from the credit judgement after proper verification.
He went on to say that “the N14 billion debt mentioned by the Minister is completely inconsistent with the demand by FAAN, the body that has been liaising with BASL.” Their most recent demand was for N1 billion, to which BASL promptly responded, stating unequivocally that there was no such debt.”
“We believe that Minister was not properly briefed by FAAN because we also pay our electricity bills on time,” Mumuni said. We also provide elaborate security at the terminal, which has received praise from stakeholders. ”
In response to multiple flight delays and cancellations, Sirika stated that consumers have rights that airlines must start respecting. “On domestic flights that are delayed for more than one hour, the carrier should provide refreshment as well as one phone call, SMS, or e-mail. They should send you an SMS, email, or call to apologize for the one-hour delay.
“In the event of a delay of more than two hours, the carrier must reimburse passengers for the full value of their tickets.” In the event of a delay between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m., the carrier must provide hotel accommodation, refreshment, a meal, two free calls, SMS, email, and airport transportation.”
The Minister, who stated that his ministry has begun sanctioning some airlines for violating consumer rights, urged passengers not to be disruptive at airports.
The Minister went on to say that the Federal Government will develop a “simple policy” to govern the use of drones for both private and commercial purposes. He believes that a lack of regulation for drones could lead to “disaster” in the civil aviation space. Sirika, on the other hand, did not specify how or when the government or the relevant agency, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, would begin regulating drone users.
Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles that are piloted remotely from the ground by aviators or their owners. “There are now remotely piloted aircraft and unmanned beings or aircraft as it is, or drones as you may call them,” the Minister told journalists. They’re becoming their own phenomenon. Everyone is now flying drones. They are for good purposes; you now fly drones to find pipeline vandalism or breakage or to conduct integrity tests; you now fly drones to many places to order pizza, send birthday gifts, and so on and so forth.
“Very soon, we will find our airspace dotted with all of these craft, and managing them alone will be a huge challenge because they will be operating within the airspace and someone will need to control them.
“As a result, we decided to develop a policy. When I last spoke about drones, I mentioned a friend of mine who was flying about three miles away from the (Aso) Villa. He was flying it at about 500 feet above ground level, towards the airport on the west side of town, at a speed of about 65 kilometers per hour.
“These drones are now carrying loads weighing 5kg, 10kg, or more. If this gentleman (a friend of mine) is simply flying this drone around and there is an inbound or taking off plane, it could collide with the plane, get ingested in the engine, and cause a disaster. And don’t think for a second that it won’t happen.
“As a result, we decided to create a policy for remotely piloted aircraft in order to organize and regulate them. We are policymakers, and our policies will keep our country safe and secure. The policy will be very simple: you will be able to walk in and buy drones while also adhering to the rules and regulations, even if you are an enthusiast,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) Nigeria released probe reports on an accident and seven serious incidents that occurred between 2010 and 2019, while preliminary reports on the crash of a military plane that killed the late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, and ten others will be ready in a week.
The reports issued yesterday were accompanied by nine safety recommendations addressed to the regulatory body, affected airlines, and the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), among others.

According to Akin Olateru, Commissioner and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) commissioned them to assist in the investigation, which is ongoing, and whether NAF makes that public is not AIB-call. N’s Olateru went on to say that the reports were the largest in a series and were part of efforts to improve air safety.
“The release of eight aircraft accident reports to the public at the same time is the largest haul since the establishment of AIB,” Olateru said. Since its inception in 2007, the bureau has issued a total of 67 reports and 220 safety recommendations, with 48 reports and 139 safety recommendations issued during the current administration.”
Among the findings released is a report on a serious incident involving a B737-500 operated by Air Peace Limited with the nationality and registration marks 5N-BRN that occurred on June 22, 2019 at Port Harcourt Airport, Omagwa, Rivers State.
