 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.

MINNESOTA BORDER AGENTS SEIZE 100,000 ILLEGAL E-CIGARETTES FROM CHINA . (PHOTO).


 Minnesota border agents seize 100,000 illegal e-cigarettes from China 

U.S. border agents in Minnesota seized a shipment containing more than 100,000 illegal e-cigarette products from China, valued at roughly $1.47 million, that was headed to a California nicotine wholesaler.

Customs and Border Protection officers in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area intercepted the pallets, which included around 90,000 illicit Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems and 75,000 refill cartridges. Officials said the products violated federal law under the FDA’s Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act due to a lack of required marketing authorization, and were deemed “adulterated” and “misbranded.”

The shipment included popular vaping flavors such as Blue Razz, Iced Lush, Blue Lightning, Gum Mint, Turkish Tobacco, and Classic Tobacco. LaFonda D. Sutton-Burke, field operations director at CBP’s Chicago office, credited intelligence sharing for helping officers identify and stop the illegal shipment, emphasizing the potential risks these products pose to public health.

Federal authorities noted the seizure is part of ongoing efforts to combat illicit e-cigarette trafficking. Last month, officials conducted their largest sting to date, confiscating nearly $90 million in illegal vaping products, and joint operations with the FDA have resulted in more than 2 million units seized from distributors and retailers across seven states. Sutton-Burke said CBP will continue working with consumer product safety partners to identify and remove unsafe and illicit goods from U.S. markets.
