 Mohbad's DNA case adjourned to November 16 as family raises concerns over testing process The court hearing on the DNA case involving late singer Mohbad has been adjourned to November 16, 2026, as a family seeking to join the suit raises concerns about the testing process. In an update on the case, a representative of the party seeking to join the proceedings said a new court-appointed officer had been assigned to address their concerns about the proposed DNA test. The representative expressed reservations about the centre expected to handle the process, particularly the role of its director, who he said had also been involved in an earlier DNA-related request.

 Total Blackout in Omagba Triggers Sharp Rise in Water Prices


By Uchechukwu Muolokwu


A total power outage in Omagba since April 30, 2026, has left residents struggling to access water, with prices doubling across the community.


The blackout has disrupted borehole operations, which many households depend on for daily supply. With electricity unavailable, borehole owners now rely on fuel and diesel to pump water, pushing costs higher for consumers.


Mr. Sylvester Nnabuike, a landlord and resident, said he uses electricity exclusively to run his borehole.  

“Now that there is no power, I cannot afford to buy fuel because the price is too high. It will cost me a lot,” he said. Nnabuike urged relevant authorities to intervene urgently.


Mrs. Nnoyelum Chika, another resident, said the cost of a gallon of water has risen from ₦50 to between ₦100 and ₦150.  

“I now spend almost ₦1,000 to ₦1,500 daily on water instead of ₦500,” she said. “Government should do something, at least by giving access to free water in Omagba.”


She noted that government-provided taps were once common in the 1980s and 1990s, and called for the restoration of public water supply systems.


Most borehole owners in Omagba use diesel, which is also costly, forcing many residents to trek from one borehole to another in search of affordable water.
