  BANDITS STRIKE CHURCH IN KWARA: WORSHIPPERS ABDUCTED IN SHOCKING ATTACK Chaos erupted in Omugo community, Ifelodun LGA, Kwara State, as armed bandits stormed an ECWA Church during Sunday morning service, abducting worshippers and sending the congregation fleeing in terror. Sources report that at least seven people were kidnapped before security forces could intervene. In a swift and coordinated response, joint security operatives, including forest guards and local vigilantes, rescued three victims, though several remain in captivity. Bolanle Olukoju, Kwara State Commissioner for Communications, condemned the brazen attack, describing it as “cowardly and unacceptable,” and praised the rapid action of security agencies.

 Kansas governor signs statewide ban on student cellphones and personal devices during school hours

  

 Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has signed a law banning the use of cellphones and other personal electronic devices for students throughout the entire school day, prompting Kansas City-area school districts to revise their policies. The law, which takes effect this fall, applies to both public and private schools and covers class time, lunch, recess, and passing periods. Students will be prohibited from using phones, tablets, smartwatches, earbuds, and other personal communication devices, though exceptions are allowed for individualized education programs (IEPs), 504 plans, and physician-approved medical needs. School-issued devices and virtual learning are not affected.

Kelly described the measure as a “commonsense approach” aimed at reducing distractions and mitigating the impact of smartphones and social media on learning, academic performance, and student mental health. Local districts, including Shawnee Mission, Blue Valley, and Olathe, have expressed concerns about the law’s costs and logistical challenges, including how to collect, store, and return devices while enforcing the rules. Shawnee Mission spokesperson Kristin Babcock said the district will comply but warned that the policy could affect instructional time and impose financial burdens. Schools are required to adopt policies and certify them with the Kansas State Board of Education by September 1 to meet the new requirements. The move follows similar efforts in Missouri and more than 20 other states that have tightened rules on student phone use in recent years.
