 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).

DISNEY NAMES VETERAN PRODUCER ALMIN KARAMEHMEDOVIC PRESIDENT OF ABC NEWS. (PHOTO).

 ABC has appointed Almin Karamehmedovic, executive producer of the top-rated World News Tonight with David Muir, as the new president of its news division, according to a report by New York Post. The decision comes as a “surprise choice” after a three-month period of uncertainty following the resignation of former ABC News president Kim Godwin in May.

The announcement was made by Debra OConnell, president of ABC News Group and Disney Entertainment, on Monday. The decision ends weeks of speculation about whether the network, currently undergoing cost-cutting measures, would hire from within its ranks.


Karamehmedovic will now oversee day-to-day operations across the news division, including the network’s flagship programmes, World News Tonight and Good Morning America.


While the move has raised some eyebrows within the network, due to Karamehmedovic’s reportedly polarizing reputation, others have applauded the decision. “He’s very bright and knows how to drive ratings by delivering what viewers want,” said a source familiar with the internal dynamics. However, another insider described him as a “bit of a bully,” citing his less favourable reputation among some colleagues.


Notably, Karamehmedovic’s career at ABC hasn’t been without controversy. In 2015, he made headlines after an incident at an ABC holiday party where he fell and knocked himself unconscious after a night of heavy drinking, leading to a hospital visit.

Despite mixed opinions, some insiders are relieved by the decision, noting it resolves growing impatience for a successor to Godwin. “It took so long for [OConnell] to make this decision that it weakened her as a leader,” said one insider.


Karamehmedovic has led World News Tonight since 2014, helping the program become the most-watched newscast for eight consecutive years. His previous experience includes serving as executive producer of Nightline and other ABC programmes like 20/20 and breaking news specials.


In a statement, Karamehmedovic expressed gratitude for his new role. “I approach this role with great respect and humility… for the colleagues whose tireless contributions fuel the unflinching and unbiased reporting of ABC News, and for the viewers we serve.”


OConnell praised the decision, saying, “Almin has devoted his career to ABC News, mastering every role and elevating excellence in journalism.” She added that the network is confident Karamehmedovic will lead ABC News to “new heights” under his leadership.


The timing of the decision is crucial as ABC prepares to host its first presidential debate next month, placing added pressure on Karamehmedovic’s leadership. ABC News has not commented on the appointment beyond the internal announcement.

  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...
