Micah Aude, the youth leader of the community, confirmed the incident, describing it as a sudden outbreak of violence that shattered the peace previously enjoyed by residents.
During his address to the community, Senator Katung commended the bravery of the locals for apprehending one of the suspects involved in the attack.
“I commend your community for the courage shown in apprehending one of the suspected attackers. I also call on security operatives to leave no stone unturned in identifying those who orchestrated this unprovoked attack and bringing them to justice,” stated Katung.
He also issued a stern warning against any community members colluding with attackers, emphasizing that justice would prevail.
Meanwhile, Mr. Amos extended prayers for the deceased and announced that he, alongside Senator Katung, would cover the medical expenses of the injured to aid in their recovery.
Additionally, Mr. Amos pledged to advocate for the re-establishment of a military camp in the area to enhance security and restore confidence among local farmers, aiming to encourage them to return to their fields for a productive agricultural season.
In response to the tragedy, the House of Representatives has urged Kayode Egbetokun, the Inspector-General of Police, the Department of State Services, and other relevant security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation into the killings and ensure those responsible are held accountable.
Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) presidential candidate and former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke, has called on opposition parties to form a united front to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections. In an interview with Symfoni TV, Duke cautioned that Tinubu is an exceptional and formidable political opponent who cannot be defeated individually.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Emphasizing that the political framework inherently favors the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) because they control state power and law enforcement apparatuses, Duke warned that division and ego among opposition figures effectively work against their own interests. Using a striking analogy, he described taking on the incumbent as trying to fight a lion that has been given horns using only a knife and fork, concluding that the opposition would end up as “dinner” without a cohesive, unified approach.
The Federal Government has issued an urgent flood warning through the National Flood Early Warning Systems Centre, cautioning that 915 communities spread across 19 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) face severe flooding risks from August 27 to September 9, 2026. In addition to these critical-risk zones, the centre flagged 429 communities in seven states as high-risk and 656 communities across 13 states under a moderate flood-risk watch.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The 19 states categorized under the critical-risk threat are Kogi, Benue, Rivers, Edo, Delta, Cross River, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo, encompassing major cities like Lokoja, Port Harcourt, Lagos, Ibadan, and Onitsha. According to Usman Abdullahi Bokani, Director of the Erosion, Flood and Coastal Zone Management Department, this impending threat is driven by factors such as continuous rainfall, saturated soils, rapid surface runoff, strained drainage networks, and swelling river levels. Residents in these vulnerable areas have been strongly advised to ready themselves for potential emergencies and identify secure evacuation routes.
African Action Congress (AAC) 2027 presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has cautioned citizens against falling for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s stance on reversing the fuel subsidy. Atiku, who is running under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), previously pledged to restore the subsidy if elected, arguing that the current administration’s removal of the policy has brought no advantages to the country.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In response via an X post, Sowore rejected Atiku’s remarks, asserting that the AAC remains the sole political party that has steadfastly opposed the subsidy removal from the outset. He accused Atiku and other establishment politicians of shifting their stances based on political convenience and foreign capitalist interests, stating that they should not be permitted to rewrite history or masquerade as genuine opposition figures. Sowore further claimed that it was the AAC’s unwavering position at the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt that actually rattled the Tinubu government, rather than any actions from Atiku’s camp.
