Keyamo condemns Obi’s Benue blockade, calls for media neutrality The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has called on the media to end what he described as partisan narratives in reporting political confrontations, following the reported blockade of the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, in Benue State. Keyamo, in a statement sent to our correspondent on Wednesday, condemned the incident, saying politicians should be allowed to move freely and campaign without intimidation or violence.

 Transgender woman imprisoned for falsely accusing six men of rape in the UK A 26-year-old transgender woman, Khloe Simmonds, has been sentenced to prison after admitting that she falsely accused six men of rape over a seven-year period in the United Kingdom. On Monday, September 7, 2026, Harrow Crown Court sentenced Simmonds to seven and a half years’ imprisonment after she pleaded guilty to eight counts of perverting the course of justice. The court was told that between July 2018 and January 2026, Simmonds made at least 12 false allegations.
