 AAC SEEK FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO ON SOWORE IN EKITI The African Action Congress, AAC, has called for further investigation into the reported attack on Omoyele Sowore and other party members in Ekiti State, despite the arrest of eleven suspects. In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Rex Elanu, the AAC says new video footage has emerged which it believes could help identify more persons involved in the incident. The party has expressed concern over the handling of CCTV recordings from the restaurant where the incident occurred, and alleges that some stolen phones were traced to the governor's lodge in Ekiti State. It is seeking an independent investigation into these claims, the handling of recovered items and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The AAC has also called for the arrest and prosecution of any other persons found to have been involved, and demanded an investigation into the conduct of any security officers who may have acted unprofessionally.

 LASCOPA RAISES ALARM OVER PALM OIL ADULTERATION, URGES LAGOSIANS TO BE VIGILANT 


… Intensifies Market Surveillance


The Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency (LASCOPA) has raised alarm over increasingly sophisticated palm oil adulteration, urging consumers across the state to stay vigilant when buying the widely consumed product.


The warning followed a technical presentation at the Lagos State Food Safety Conference and Exhibition 2026, where Dr. Nurah Oseni, Senior Lecturer, Department of Food Technology, Auchi Polytechnic, presented a paper titled “Palm Oil Adulteration: Emerging Risks, Detection Strategies and Regulatory Control.”


According to Dr. Oseni, palm oil is particularly vulnerable to adulteration because of its high trading volume, consumers’ association of deep-red colour with quality, price differences, informal market practices, and challenges in detecting sophisticated adulterants


She identified several emerging risks, including the use of potentially carcinogenic Sudan and Azo dyes to alter colour, blending with recovered or recycled oils, including spent cooking oil, as well as multi-adulterant mixtures designed to evade basic quality checks.


The scholar also raised concerns over digital and traceability fraud, including falsified product labels and batch records, stressing the need for stronger surveillance and improved detection mechanisms across the supply chain.


Furthermore, Dr. Oseni advised consumers to use simple visual checks as an initial precaution. She explained that palm oil may separate into layers, with the lower layer typically appearing orange to red-yellowish rather than uniformly deep red. She cautioned, however, that visual checks alone can not confirm adulteration.


She advocated a tiered detection system involving risk-based screening, rapid physicochemical and spectroscopic tests, and confirmatory laboratory analysis, supported by proper sampling and chain-of-custody procedures.


Dr. Oseni further proposed a five-step Lagos surveillance framework: Risk Map, Sample, Screen, Confirm and Act - supported by an adulteration intelligence database and coordinated responsibilities among processors, traders, laboratories, regulators, researchers and consumers.


The General Manager/CEO of LASCOPA, Afolabi Solebo, Esq., reaffirmed the Agency’s commitment to protecting consumers from unsafe and substandard products, urging Lagosians to “shine their eyes” and report suspected adulterated palm oil and unscrupulous traders through the Agency’s official channels as market surveillance is intensified across the state.
