 NUT Protest : Wike Warns Against Politicising Insecurity The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has warned against politicising insecurity amid protests by the Nigeria Union of Teachers, FCT wing, over the killing and abduction of school staff and children in Oyo State. Teachers stormed the FCTA Secretariat in Abuja to condemn the killing of Michael Oyedokun and to demand the release of abducted pupils and teachers from Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle in Oriire Local Government Area. The FCT minister addressed the protesters on Tuesday, saying the federal government is on its toes working to secure the rescue of the schoolchildren and their teachers. Wike urged protesters to avoid turning the tragedy into a political issue and to give security efforts time to produce results.

 Israeli forces kill four aid workers near Gaza City, hospital, and witnesses report

Israeli forces killed four Palestinians seeking aid on Sunday while traveling through a military zone south of Gaza City, according to a hospital and eyewitnesses. The area is frequently used by residents attempting to reach food distribution points.

The deaths underscore growing humanitarian concerns as parts of Gaza face famine and Israel prepares for an offensive in the city’s northern districts. A U.N.-backed assessment recently declared famine in Gaza City, warning it could spread without a ceasefire or eased aid restrictions, though Israel disputes the findings. Witnesses said the four were shot as troops opened fire on a crowd approaching a site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Survivors described indiscriminate gunfire, with some people falling after being hit.

The incident is part of a wider pattern at aid distribution sites, where hundreds of Palestinians have been killed while seeking food or medical assistance. The Hamas-run Health Ministry reports more than 62,000 deaths overall in the conflict, including nearly 290 malnutrition-related deaths, with children among the casualties. Half of those killed are reported to be women and children.

Residents in Gaza City and surrounding areas described nonstop explosions and widespread destruction as Israel intensifies operations ahead of a potential offensive. Many displaced families remain in densely populated shelters despite ongoing airstrikes and military activity. Witnesses reported seeing homes razed and neighborhoods flattened, with some alleging efforts to forcibly remove civilians.

The looming operation threatens the lives of hundreds of thousands of residents in northern Gaza, an area Israel considers a Hamas stronghold. The conflict began after Hamas-led militants attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 people and abducting 251, with roughly 50 hostages still in Gaza.
