 Over 25 million phones stolen in one year – FG The Crime Experience and Security Perception Survey report of the National Bureau of Statistics, a Federal Government agency, shows that Nigeria recorded 25.35 million phone theft cases between May 2023 and April 2024. According to the report, this was the most common type of crime within the period under review. The report read, “The number of crimes experienced by individuals in Nigeria was analysed over a period of time. The results show that theft of phones (25,354,417) was the most common crime experienced by individuals, followed by consumer fraud (12,107,210) and assault (8,453,258). However, hijacking of cars (333,349) was the least crime experienced by individuals within the reference period.” It also noted that most phone theft cases occurred either at home or in a public place, and about 90 per cent of such cases were reported to the police.

TATTOOS CAN TRIGGER CANCER (LYMPHOMA),NEW RESEARCH REVEALS.(PHOTO)..(PHOTO).

 Potential long-term health risks of tattoos -- Possible association between tattoos and lymphoma revealed.


A new study by researchers at Lund University has shown that an association exists between tattoos and lymphoma, making the former a risk factor for the lymphatic cancer. Their findings were published in the journal, eClinicalMedicine.


Using population registries, the investigators analyzed results from 11,905 people in total, of whom 2,938 subjects had been diagnosed with lymphoma, when aged between 20 and 60 years old. These people were then matched with a control group of the same sex and age, but without that malignant diagnosis. Subjects with and without tattoos were identified by questionnaires. From that lymphoma group, 289 (%) had been tattooed, while 18% (735) of the control group, without lymphoma, had tattoos. After adjustment for other factors, like sex and age, they found that the risk of lymphoma was 21% greater among the tattooed subjects.


While the initial hypothesis was that the diagnosis of lymphoma would correlate with the size of the tattoos, that turned out to be irrelevant, though the scientists still do not know why. They speculate that any tattoo, irrespective of its size, may trigger a low-grade systemic inflammation, which may be the trigger for the cancer. It is known that tattoo ink is a foreign substance which stimulates the immune system and a large portion of the initial ink injected is transported to lymph nodes, where it remains. Future research will focus on whether there are any associations between tattoos, other inflammatory diseases, and other cancers. If people wish to continue getting tattoos, we should be certain that they are safe. If you have had one (or more), you should know that they can affect your health, you must be aware of any symptoms that may be related, and be medically evaluated if you

 do.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
