 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.

 Suspect in former Japanese prime minister’s killing pleads guilty

The man accused of assassinating former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pleaded guilty on Tuesday.

Tetsuo Yamagami, 45, appeared publicly for the first time since the killing and told Judge Shinichi Tanaka that he shot Abe because he held him responsible for the religious abuse he endured as a child. “Everything is true,” Yamagami said in court, adding, “there is no mistake that I did it.”

His attorneys have requested leniency, citing his troubled upbringing and the influence of his mother, a follower of the Unification Church, who is set to testify in the trial. Abe, Japan’s longest-serving prime minister since World War II, was allegedly targeted due to his perceived ties to the church, which was partly introduced to Japan by Abe’s grandfather, former Prime Minister Nobusuki Kishi, in 1954.

Yamagami reportedly used a homemade firearm to shoot Abe on July 8, 2022, while Abe was giving a campaign speech for a colleague during Japan’s Upper House election. Prosecutors said Yamagami had made six guns at home beginning in late 2020, producing around two kilograms of black powder and test-firing the weapons at multiple locations.

While his defense argues his childhood and personal history warrant a reduced sentence, prosecutors maintain that the assassination was an unprecedented act in post-war Japan and that leniency is not justified.
