Blaming opposition for hunger is ‘delusion’, Atiku tells Tinubu Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused President Bola Tinubu of blaming the opposition for the country’s economic hardship. He said the President was trying to evade responsibility for his administration’s policies. Tinubu had earlier on Saturday blamed his political opponents for hunger and poverty in the country while speaking at the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna. “I hear my opponent talking about hunger, poverty. Who created it? They did! They created the hunger, they created the poverty. We are trying to eradicate it,” the President said. Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, said Nigerians were entitled to demand answers from the APC-led government over rising living costs, poverty, insecurity and questions surrounding public expenditure. In a statement issued on Saturday by the Director of Strategic Communication of the ADC Presidential Ca...

 ISIS claims responsibility for festival knife attack that left three dead


ISIS has claimed responsibility for the knife attack that killed three people at a festival in Germany.


Eight others were wounded when the attacker started stabbing people at random in Solingen, near Dusseldorf, on Friday night.


A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of being linked to the rampage but the knifeman is still on the loose.


Witnesses heard the attacker – said by police to have targeted victims’ throats – telling the teenager ‘I’m going to stab everyone’, according to local reports.


Hendrik Wuest, premier of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, described Friday evening’s attack during a festival in the city as an act of terror.


‘This attack has struck at the heart of our country,’ he told reporters.


Interior minister Nancy Faeser said authorities were doing all they could to catch the assailant.


The so-called Islamic State group said in a statement on its Telegram account that the attack was carried out by one of its members ‘in revenge for Muslims in Palestine and everywhere’.


It did not immediately provide any evidence for its assertion and it was not clear how close any relationship between the attacker and ISIS was.


The attack took place in the Fronhof, a market square in Solingen where live bands were playing as part of a festival marking the city’s 650th anniversary.


Police tape is set up following an incident.

Police believe the attacker stabbed people in the neck at random.

Festival goers shock as organiser tells crowd: 'Keep calm, keep your eyes open, the perpetrator is on the run'


A police official, Thorsten Fleiss, said the assailant appeared to aim for his victims’ throats.


Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in a post on X: ‘The perpetrator must be quickly caught and punished to the fullest extent of the law.’


Police cordoned off the square on Saturday and passers-by placed candles and flowers outside the barriers.


‘We are full of shock and grief,’ Solingen Mayor Tim-Oliver Kurzbach told journalists.


German musician DJ Topic described being told about the attack but instructed to keep playing ‘to avoid causing a mass panic attack’ in a post on Instagram.


He was eventually told to stop, and ‘since the attacker was still on the run, we hid in a nearby store while police helicopters circled above us’, he wrote.


Authorities cancelled the remainder of the weekend festival.


The government said earlier this month it wanted to toughen rules on knives that can be carried in public by reducing the maximum length allowed.


In June, a 29-year-old policeman was fatally stabbed in Mannheim during an attack on a right-wing demonstration. A stabbing attack on a train in 2021 also injured several people.
