Bello Turji threw a big Eid party in Magira village of Sokoto State before he went on a killing spree. This bandit boss invited his criminal friends from the next-door Zamfara State to join him. They ate and celebrated together on Tuesday at Isa Local Government Area. After their feast ended, the real horror began.

Security expert Bakatsine shared this terrible news on Wednesday on X, the social media platform. He said the killers did these awful acts simply because they wanted to.
Nigerian authorities have hunted Turji for years because of his violent...

Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan claims Senate President Godswill Akpabio teamed up with former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello to end her life. She told this to her fans, who came out in large numbers when she returned home Tuesday. The suspended lawmaker mentioned she already told the police about these threats, though she kept them private until recently.
She explained how Akpabio started working to remove her from office. According to her story, Akpabio phoned Governor Ododo on March 13th around 10 PM, asking him to begin recall procedures. But Governor Ododo reportedly said this would fail because many people support her. Unhappy with that answer, Akpabio then reached out to former governor Yahaya Bello.

A youth watchdog team called Young Guardians of Accountability asked federal agents to check if Defense Minister Mohammed Abubakar Badaru broke any laws. The chairman, Adediran Raymond, sent letters to both the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and Independent Corrupt Practices Commission with serious claims about the minister. They believe he keeps running private businesses even though government officials should not do that.
The group says Badaru sits on boards for several companies at the same time he works as a minister. This breaks federal rules that block public servants from mixing government work with private money-making. They want investigators to look at his official paperwork where he had to list all his money and...

Kano police told everyone not to hold Eid-el-Fitr durbar events because they were worried about safety. The Emir Muhammad Sanusi II decided to keep the yearly Hawan Nasarawa tradition alive anyway. He changed things up by riding in cars instead of leading people on horses like they usually do. The ceremony happens on the third day after Ramadan ends.
The Emir still traveled from his palace to visit Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf at the Government House. This visit maintains an important custom where the Emir pays respect to the state leader during celebrations. Police Commissioner Ibrahim Bakori had announced the ban earlier, but the Emir found a way to honor traditions without breaking the rules completely. He simply avoided the horse...
