 Christmas: Fear spreads among northern churches over fresh bomb attacks Barely three days to Christmas and New Year celebrations, many Christians living in the northern part of the country have expressed fear of terror attacks in states plagued by violence and terrorism. Sunday PUNCH gathered that the situation had dampened the festive spirit of some northerners, forcing many families to reconsider their plans for the season.  Recall that multiple bomb explosions had killed three persons, including a child in the Bassa community of the Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State last Thursday. The explosions were believed to be landmines as they went off while children played on their way to the farm. Also, in early December, bombs exploded in two separate locations in the Dansadau district of Maru LGA of Zamfara State, killing several people as well as leaving many injured. While the tragic incidents happened on Friday, December 6, 2024, 12 people were reportedly killed two...

THE PUNCH NEWSPAPER’S OBSESSIVE ANIMOSITY AGAINST PRESIDENT BUHARI.#STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE.

-
Image
       The Presidency dismisses the wicked and unfounded conclusion by a media house that President Muhammadu Buhari is sympathetic to the activities of violent herdsmen, and has been indifferent to their atrocities. We reject The Punch newspaper's September 4th, 2018, editorial which alleged that President Buhari had sympathy for criminality perpetuated by a misguided group. The editorial was not only disrespectful of the President and his office, but was also reckless, thoughtless, inflammatory and totally irresponsible. It is steadily becoming clear from the views, news and opinions of this newspaper that it will explore every opportunity and twist every fact to declare every Nigerian and ECOWAS member with Fulani blood a terrorists, who must be stripped of their rights as citizens, or worse subjected to ethnic cleansing. We believe and strongly insist that criminality perpetrated by some miscreants should not be used to demonize other responsible and ...

RESISTANCE AGAINST ANTI GRAFT WAR FRIGHTENING.-MAGU.{PHOTOS}.

Image
      The Acting Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has described the resistance against the ongoing anti-graft war by the corrupt elements in the country as  frightening. He said though no one would expect the fight against corruption to be smooth, the resistance had assumed frightening dimensions with political motives inputed into most of the activities of the Commission, especially as the next general election approaches. Speaking during a meeting with media executives in Lagos on Wednesday, September 5, 2018, Magu added that it had become fashionable for anyone being investigated for corruption to “scream political persecution.” He said: “Corrupt officials of state governments are pleading immunity not ascribed to them by the Constitution. “Some governors have also extended the frontiers of their constitutional immunity by claiming that anti-corruption agencies cannot even investigate them.” Ma...

ATIKU'S ALLEGATIONS: YES, PRESIDENT BUHARI UNCOMPROMISING AGAINST CORRUPTION; POWER DRUNK? NO! – PRESIDENCY.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

-
Image
      Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, was quoted by a foreign news medium as accusing President Muhammadu Buhari of being "very uncompromising, also power drunk; (and) who will not be ready to leave power without a fight." Rather than use the name of President Buhari to buoy his bid to get the presidential ticket of a party, whose flag has been flying at half-mast since it got roundly trounced at the polls in 2015, the former Vice President needs be told that the President is truly uncompromising, but only when it comes to looting the common patrimony of Nigerians, and squandering their riches. President Buhari is uncompromising in the quest to restore probity and accountability to public office. He is uncompromising in cleaning the rot Nigeria was consigned into pre-2015, thus the war against corruption is being fought without fear or favour. The President is equally resolute in the determination to ensure that Nigeria is no longer a mono-economy, depend...
