 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday. The country music icon reflected on the past year, a year after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, saying she is “doing good” and has been working to rebuild herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically after grieving and dealing with health issues that kept her from touring.

 CLARIFICATION ON ALLEGED CASE OF MISSING NDA CADET: CADET STEPHEN KUBAMA GANI


The attention of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has been drawn to reports circulating across various online media platforms as regards the missing of Cadet Stephen Kubama Gani. The report alleged that the Cadet mysteriously went missing from the Academy without appropriate actions taken by NDA to ascertain his whereabouts. 


To set the record straight in the interest of accuracy and transparency, Cadet SK Gani was admitted into the Academy as a member of 76 Regular Course and reported for training on 26 August 2024. His training progressed without any hitch, but he was observed to have absented himself from the Academy with effect from 28 April 2025 without official permission. In accordance with established procedures and extant regulations guiding cadets administration in NDA, his parents were formally notified 3 days after his absence. Seven days after the occurrence, he was struck off strength following due administrative procedures. Meanwhile, feedback received later from his parents, revealed that his whereabouts could not be ascertained and it led to renewed investigative procedure by the Academy which is still ongoing. 


It is significant to reiterate that the training and administration of cadets in NDA are strictly governed by military laws, procedures and time-honoured traditions as spelt out in the Code of Conducts of the Academy. The NDA therefore calls on the general public to discountenance the claim that the institution is doing nothing about the Cadet's mysterious disappearance. 


While we continue to engage all parties in this matter to ensure a positive outcome, we wish to reiterate that the NDA takes the safety and wellbeing of all its cadets seriously. Adequate structures are on ground to ensure every cadet is accounted for through regular stop checks and physical inspections. 


The NDA remains a bastion of military and academic excellence, founded on the ideals of discipline, diligence, loyalty, honour and valour. The Academy continues to uphold the vision of its founding fathers by producing highly trained, dedicated and loyal officers for the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
