The women were reportedly travelling to Victor Attah International Airport in Uyo aboard an Akwa Ibom Transport Corporation bus to join Governor Umo Eno in welcoming the President when their vehicle collided with a security Hilux van along Oron Road.

The collision left both vehicles badly damaged, with several occupants requiring emergency medical attention.

A video of the accident scene shared online by Nsikakabasi Akpan showed bystanders and emergency responders working to rescue injured passengers trapped in the wreckage.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Akwa Ibom State confirmed the incident through its spokesperson, Paul James, who disclosed that a rescue team had been deployed to the scene.

However, James said the command was yet to establish the number of casualties or determine the circumstances that led to the crash.

Although there were concerns that the accident might have resulted in fatalities, no deaths had been officially confirmed as of the time this report was filed.

Meanwhile, Tinubu, accompanied by his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, was later received at the Uyo airport by Governor Eno and other prominent dignitaries.

During the visit, the President inaugurated the airport’s newly constructed terminal building, a development expected to pave the way for the commencement of international flight operations in Akwa Ibom State.

Nigeria’s Ambassador to South Africa, Femi Fani-Kayode, has distanced himself from the Senior Counsel of Nigeria (SCN) title reportedly awarded to him by the Nigerian Law Society (NLS).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The former Minister of Aviation maintained that he neither authorised nor approved the acceptance of the designation.

In a statement issued on Friday through his Special Assistant on Media, Lizzy Okoji, Fani-Kayode explained that representatives from his office attended the society’s event following an invitation extended to him.

He, however, clarified that he was not personally involved in the decision to accept the title and had no intention of giving the impression that he endorsed the designation.

The statement read, “His Excellency wishes to categorically state that he did not personally authorize or approve the acceptance of the said designation and hereby formally disassociates himself from the purported conferment.

“The circumstances surrounding the representation and subsequent communication of acceptance were regrettable and arose from an unfortunate administrative misjudgment, without any intention whatsoever to misrepresent His Excellency’s personal position or professional convictions.

“As a legal practitioner of over 41 years standing, His Excellency would be the last person to knowingly engage in any act that violates the law, undermines the integrity of the legal profession, or brings the profession into disrepute.”

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) vice-presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, has blamed former President Olusegun Obasanjo for his children’s decision to pursue their education outside Nigeria.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Amaechi said the decision was influenced by the political crisis he encountered during Obasanjo’s administration.

The former Rivers State governor made the disclosure during an interview with News Central Television on Friday, November 6, 2026.

He recounted how Obasanjo allegedly worked against his ambition to become Rivers State governor in 2007, despite emerging victorious in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primary in 2006.

According to Amaechi, the disagreement escalated to the point where the former president allegedly threatened to have him arrested, forcing him to leave the country.

He disclosed that he spent about 10 months outside Nigeria while pursuing legal action over the political situation.

Amaechi added that the crisis also affected his wife and children, who were reportedly forced to move from one residence to another to avoid possible trouble.

He explained that the unstable situation made it difficult for his children to continue their education in Nigeria, prompting the family to send them abroad to ensure their safety and uninterrupted schooling.

Speaking during the interview, Amaechi said:

“President Obasanjo tried to stop me from being a governor but you will see that I did not go to sleep, I went to court and when he threatened arrest, I left the country.

“My children did not go to Nigerian school because Obasanjo chased us out of Nigeria. My wife and children were running from one house to another. They had to go to school outside the country to stay alive and to keep learning.”
