  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. She confirmed that efforts are ongoing to free the remaining abductees and bring the perpetrators to justice.  The incident follows earlier intelligence warnings of potential coordinated attacks in Kwara South, prompting deployment of military, paramilitary, an...

NOWRUZ CELEBRATIONS DISRUPTED AS IRAN WAR AND INTERNET BLACKOUT LEAVE FAMILIES CUT OFF. (PHOTO).

 Nowruz celebrations disrupted as Iran war and internet blackout leave families cut off

Nowruz, the Persian New Year, is traditionally a time of renewal and family gatherings. This year, however, many Iranians will be unable to celebrate with loved ones. Ongoing conflict in the country has limited travel, and a continuing internet blackout has left families unable to connect.

The blackout has been in effect for three weeks, and only a few workarounds remain operational, as authorities tighten restrictions on satellite connections and virtual private networks. For Iran’s population of more than 90 million, the shutdown prevents them from receiving messages, sharing greetings, or staying informed about current events.

“The lack of accurate information and the absence of collective, immediate communication have made us feel trapped and isolated,” said Saeed Souzangar, a tech entrepreneur and digital rights activist based in Tehran.

Iran has previously restricted internet access, including a nationwide shutdown in January aimed at suppressing anti-government protests. The current restrictions further isolate citizens, blocking vital information while officials seek to maintain control amid the conflict.

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said in an interview that the shutdown was necessary for security reasons and described it as an urgent measure “for the sake of war.”

Alp Toker, director of NetBlocks, noted that this is the first time such a prolonged internet blackout has coincided with Nowruz celebrations. He added that the shutdown is on track to become the most severe in the world.

The restrictions have fueled anger both within Iran and among the diaspora. Observers have criticized officials who appear to retain internet access while ordinary citizens are cut off.

“Internet shutdowns during Nowruz prevent people from fulfilling a basic need: connection,” said Amir Rashidi, a cybersecurity expert. “At a time when families should be sharing joy across distances, they are instead left isolated and uncertain.”
