 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.

 YouTube to pay $24.5 million to settle Trump lawsuit, court filing shows


YouTube has reached a $24.5 million settlement with President Donald Trump and several other plaintiffs who sued the platform after Trump’s suspension in 2021, according to a court filing. The agreement resolves a dispute that had been ongoing for years following the former suspension of Trump’s account in the aftermath of the January 6 Capitol attack.

The settlement allocates $22 million toward Trump’s planned construction of a White House State Ballroom, with the funds being placed in a tax-exempt entity known as the Trust for the National Mall. The remaining $2.5 million will be distributed among other plaintiffs in the case, including the American Conservative Union, Andrew Baggiani, Austen Fletcher, Maryse Veronica Jean-Louis, Frank Valentine, Kelly Victory, and Naomi Wolf. The filing emphasized that the settlement is not an admission of fault by YouTube but a way to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation.

Trump’s lawsuit argued that YouTube’s decision to indefinitely ban his account violated his right to free speech by restricting his ability to communicate with the public. YouTube had initially removed him from the platform, citing its policy against incitement to violence, but reinstated his channel more than two years later, saying it wanted voters to hear from all major political candidates.

This settlement follows a series of legal resolutions between Trump and major social media companies. Earlier this year, Meta agreed to donate $22 million to Trump’s presidential library and cover $3 million in legal fees, while X settled a similar lawsuit by agreeing to pay roughly $10 million.
