Police have brought Benjamin Best Nnayereugo back to Nigeria to face murder charges. The suspect, nicknamed Killaboi, ran away after allegedly killing Miss Onuwabhagbe last July. The 21-year-old victim studied at Lead City University before her death at his Lagos home. Nigerian police spokesperson Olumiyiwa Adejobi announced the extradition on Saturday. Killaboi had been hiding abroad for almost two years.
The fugitive broke out of prison in Sierra Leone before traveling through many countries. He used fake identities to make his way across West Africa, East Asia, and the Middle East. He settled in Qatar this January, calling himself Toure Abdoulaye. He lived there with a fake Guinean passport and worked illegally until authorities...
Borno State welcomed home 230 former Boko Haram fighters who finished their government rehabilitation program in Gombe State. These ex-insurgents completed the Deradicalisation, Rehabilitation and Reintegration program at Malam Sidi camp. They make up part of the 390 people who gave themselves up to Nigerian soldiers. This happens as Governor Babagana Zulum recently shared worries about losing ground against terrorism in the region.
Operation Safe Corridor leader Brigadier-General Yusuf Ali praised the teamwork between different agencies that made the program work. He asked local communities to help these former fighters rejoin society. The ex-insurgents spent six months learning new job skills, receiving mental health support, and...

The IPOB group says President Tinubu keeps unfair policies against Igbo people, just like Buhari did before him. They want better security across Southeast areas. The group demands freedom for their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, after his long jail time. They asked for American officials to lead a world team looking into who really causes trouble in Igbo areas. IPOB believes newsgroups help hide the truth about what happens there.
The government needs to stop treating referendum requests as terrorism since people have the right to ask for a vote. IPOB wants other countries to make Nigerian leaders answer for human rights problems. They believe Nigerian officials and the British government worked together against Kanu. The group thinks releasing...
A family says Lagos State University Teaching Hospital failed to care for Margaret Akinduntire, who died recently. They believe doctors delayed her surgery because of Ramadan fasting. Her problems started back in 2013 when surgeons took out her right kidney. She felt pain later around that area. Doctors found they left a needle inside her from the first operation when they checked without giving her pain medicine.
The woman needed more help this year for fibroids that caused serious health issues. The hospital made her wait until after Ramadan ended despite her worsening condition. Her body swelled up badly as she lost weight fast during the delay period. The family looked elsewhere when she became worse, but other places couldn't help...
The Arewa Youth Council says Adams Reuben is not connected to their group. They reject statements against Atiku Abubakar appearing in newspapers on April 18. Ambassador Dogo Shagari confirmed that Reuben never held any position with them. The real council leaders want police to arrest this fake representative for lying about their organization.
Media companies should check who speaks for national groups before printing stories. The council stays focused on helping young people across northern Nigeria and avoids creating problems between different parts of the country. Security agencies must investigate this person claiming leadership roles he never had. People need to trust only official messages from actual Arewa Youth Council officers.

A terrible accident happened when a wooden boat caught fire on the Congo River. About 148 people died after the boat flipped over on Tuesday. The vessel carried nearly 500 passengers before it capsized. Many women with children traveled on this boat.

Officials took hurt survivors to local hospitals for burn treatment. Other survivors stayed at the town hall building.
