 PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES GOVERNOR HYACINTH ALIA ON HIS 60TH BIRTHDAY President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia,  Governor of Benue State, and an ordained priest on his 60th birthday. In a statement personally signed by President Tinubu, he says "I commend Governor Alia for his transformative efforts to industrialise the state and expand its road network. Benue State, famously Nigeria's food basket, now has tomatoes and fruit juice, beer, nylon and polythene factories, as well as a large-scale bakery, providing jobs for its people and adding value to its agricultural products. The iconic underpasses in Makurdi and Gboko have also eased traffic and improved urban life." It adds that Governor Alia's political journey is simply that of faith made manifest, ordained a Catholic priest in 1990 by Bishop Athanasius Atule Usuh of Makurdi Catholic Diocese.

'NO KINGS' PROTEST IN LOS ANGELES TURNS CHAOTIC AS DOZENS ARRESTED AFTER DAY OF MASS DEMONSTRATIONS. (PHOTO).


 'No Kings' protest in Los Angeles turns chaotic as dozens arrested after day of mass demonstrations


The “No Kings” protests in Los Angeles this past weekend highlighted how quickly a peaceful demonstration can shift into unrest. 


Thousands of people filled downtown streets as part of a global wave of coordinated events opposing President Donald Trump’s policies and the war in Iran. 


For much of the day, the atmosphere was calm, with chants and signs near City Hall and Grand Park. 


But by evening, tensions escalated near the Metropolitan Detention Center, where authorities declared an unlawful assembly.


Police reported that some protesters began throwing rocks, bottles, and chunks of concrete, injuring two federal officers. 


In response, law enforcement deployed tear gas, pepper balls, and bean bag rounds to disperse the crowd. 


Seventy-four people were arrested for failing to leave, including eight juveniles, and one person was detained for carrying a dagger. 


Witnesses like Navy veteran Andre Andrews Jr. emphasized that the majority of the march had been peaceful, blaming “bad actors” for the clashes that followed.


Despite the turmoil in Los Angeles, organizers stressed that the broader “No Kings” movement remained largely peaceful across the country and abroad. 


With more than 3,100 events worldwide, they described the demonstrations as “historic” in scale. 


Still, the confrontations in L.A. serve as a reminder of how fragile the line can be between peaceful protest and violent unrest, underscoring the challenges of maintaining order during mass mobilizations.
