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.

THREE MASQUERADERS ARRESTED OVER VIRAL ASSAULT VIDEO, AS ENUGU CP CONDEMNS ABUSE OF CULTURAL CELEBRATIONS


Police operatives of the Enugu State Command attached to the Nsukka Urban Division, in synergy with law-abiding members of the community, on June 23, 2025, at about 3:30 p.m., arrested three male suspects in connection with the physical assault of members of the public by the Oriokpa Masquerade group on June 22, 2025, in Nsukka, as seen in a viral video.


The suspects, along with others still at large, took advantage of the Oriokpa Masquerade celebration to assault several innocent members of the public, inflicting bodily injuries. One of the victims was hospitalised for treatment due to injuries sustained during the attack. The masqueraders initially resisted police arrest and fled the scene. However, with the assistance of law-abiding community members, the three suspects were later identified and apprehended.


The Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, psc, has ordered a thorough investigation into the case to ensure that justice is served. He emphasised that masquerade celebrations are a sacred and symbolic aspect of our culture but decried the actions of those who exploited the occasion to commit criminal acts.


Consequently, CP Giwa has warned against the use of cultural festivities as a cover for fomenting trouble and committing crimes against fellow citizens, as perpetrated by the Oriokpa masqueraders, assuring the public that all those involved will be brought to justice.
