81 DIVISION TROOPS INTERCEPT 792 PARCELS OF INDIAN HEMP Troops of 81 Division have foiled an attempt to smuggle Seven Hundred and Ninety-Two (792) parcels of illicit drugs suspected to be Cannabis Sativa (Marijuana) into Ogun State at a checkpoint along the Ilaro-Benin Republic Border following an intelligence-driven operation. The parcels of Indian hemp were concealed in a truck coming from the Volta Region of Ghana.

Move By Miyetti Allah To Form Armed Group May Cause Anarchy, Civil War, Southern Kaduna Peoples Union Warns The formation of an armed vigilance force by Fulani herders operating under the aegis of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore has been vehemently criticised by the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU). The National Secretary of Miyetti Allah Saleh Alhassan on Monday said the union had commenced plans to set up its own security outfit. According to the Fulani herders’ union, the creation of an armed unit will safeguard herders across the nation, particularly in Benue State.  He said, “All these vigilantes the state governors are creating are not helping the country. What they are trying to show is that there is a lack of confidence in the authority of the state to maintain law and order, so you now begin to create your own small army. “If the Fulanis decide, they will create their vigilantes, which our organisation have started working on. Do you know how many millions we will have? It...

EFCC Chairman Not in Any Deal With Tunde Ayeni The attention of the Commission has been drawn to a so-called “exclusive’’ news report making the rounds on social media to the effect that the EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa and former Chairman of the defunct Skye Bank, Mr. Tunde Ayeni, are travelling together, abroad, on a clandestine, self-serving mission. The story, which vainly tries to push a certain malodorous agenda, is absolutely FALSE. If it were not for its potential to confound and confuse the unwary, the Commission would have ignored the story. However, there is every need to set the facts straight. To start with, there was never a meeting and certainly no “plan” between the EFCC Chair and Mr. Ayeni to go anywhere together. Furthermore, while the EFCC Chairman is at this time on an approved mission abroad, Ayeni, whom the fiction-turned-news story says is on a clandestine trip with Mr. Bawa, is, from checks, right here in Nigeria. A cursory check would have confirmed that. I...
