 Ortom Cancels 64th Birthday Celebration Over Benue Killings Former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has cancelled celebrations for his 64th birthday in solidarity with victims of recent violent attacks in the state. In a statement issued by his media aide, Terver Akase, Ortom cited the ongoing killings by suspected Fulani terrorists across Benue as the reason for his decision. “There will be no celebrations while our people are being massacred,” he said, expressing sympathy for victims and reaffirming his commitment to public service. Ortom urged prayers for the affected families and for national leaders, including President Bola Tinubu and Governor Hyacinth Alia, to find solutions to Nigeria’s security challenges.

 NERC: 112 Nigerians Killed in Electricity-Related Incidents in 2024


The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has reported 112 electricity-related deaths and 95 injuries in 2024, with wire snaps, unsafe conditions, and vandalism identified as major causes.


Despite a slight 2.6% drop in fatalities compared to 2023, the report shows distribution companies (DisCos) remain the primary source of safety lapses, accounting for over 90% of casualties across all quarters.


Ibadan, Eko, and Kaduna DisCos recorded the highest number of incidents, while NESCO and Yola DisCos maintained clean safety records in multiple quarters.


The Commission said it has launched investigations and concluded three compensation settlements for victims’ families, reaffirming its commitment to safety enforcement within the power sector.
