 Atiku pledges scholarship to viral Niger teen miner Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday said his “heart breaks” each time he watches a viral video of a teenage artisanal miner, Yusuf Aliyu, speaking at a mining site in Niger State after the deaths of 37 miners in the state. Atiku, in a statement posted on his X handle, said he was prepared to support the boy’s education, describing him as a child whose intelligence and confidence should be nurtured in a classroom rather than by working at a mining site. “I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks. A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty. “I cannot look at him and see an ‘illegal miner.’ I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him.

DSS ARRESTS FAKE NGO LEADER IN ABUJA. (PHOTO)


 Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday apprehended Kennedy Tabukoi in Abuja for allegedly leading an unregistered NGO, the Niger Delta Development Initiative (NDDI), in a scheme to blackmail government officials.


According to security sources, Tabukoi targeted officials with demands for money or contracts, threatening to organise protests against them if they failed to comply. One such protest took place on Thursday morning at the National Assembly gate, where Tabukoi led a demonstration accusing lawmakers of stalling a probe into the petroleum sector.


“Tabukoi had been boasting to his associates about using his alleged Niger-Delta activism to intimidate officials into doing his bidding,” a security source revealed.


“Ironically, those he sought to exploit were the ones who tipped us off, confirming he was running a sham NGO for personal gain.”


Investigations revealed that Tabukoi had no legally registered NGO and was using intimidation tactics to solicit funds and contracts.


During questioning by DSS operatives, he admitted to the allegations, explaining that he intended to register an NGO to emulate others who had profited from similar schemes.


The DSS has emphasized its commitment to curbing acts of blackmail and impersonation, warning against the misuse of activism for personal enrichment.


Further investigations into Tabukoi’s activities are continuing.
