 Atiku pledges scholarship to viral Niger teen miner Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday said his “heart breaks” each time he watches a viral video of a teenage artisanal miner, Yusuf Aliyu, speaking at a mining site in Niger State after the deaths of 37 miners in the state. Atiku, in a statement posted on his X handle, said he was prepared to support the boy’s education, describing him as a child whose intelligence and confidence should be nurtured in a classroom rather than by working at a mining site. “I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks. A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty. “I cannot look at him and see an ‘illegal miner.’ I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him.

Trump clemency order cancels Santos’s fines and restitution

Former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) will no longer be required to pay fines or restitution related to his criminal conviction, according to a clemency order made public Monday.

Santos was released from prison Friday after President Trump signed a commutation of his sentence. Santos had begun serving an 87-month term three months ago. The clemency order grants “an immediate commutation of his entire sentence to time served with no further fines, restitution, probation, supervised release, or other conditions.”

Santos had pleaded guilty last summer to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft as part of a plea deal. He was also sentenced to two years of supervised release and ordered to pay more than $370,000 in restitution. In a recent interview, Santos said he would follow whatever the law requires regarding repayment but appeared uncertain about his obligations.

Originally sentenced to seven years in prison, Santos was expelled from Congress after investigations revealed he falsified much of his resume and lied on campaign finance reports. President Trump noted that Santos had been mistreated in prison and announced the commutation on Truth Social, wishing him well. Santos’s attorney, Joe Murray, confirmed he was released late Friday evening.
