Professor Chidi Odinkalu, a well-known critic of Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, insists that what this government is doing to him is clearly unjust, and he wonders how these judges can sleep in good conscience.
6 life transforming Du'as:
You seems no way in your life?
Just Say " Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakeel "
Anxious, Depressed or Overthinking?
Just Say " La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah "
Tired or Need help?
Just Say " Rabbi inni maghloobun fantasir ".
Anything you need?
Just Say " Rabbi inni lima anzalta ilayya min khayrin faqeer ".
Want everything easy?
Just say "Allahumma yassir wala tu'assir. Rabbi tammim bi'khair."
Need blessings in your life?
Just say " Astaghfirullah wa atubu ilayhi ".
I have said this before and I will say it again, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai is a prisoner of choice, and a prisoner of conscience.
One or Two phone calls will get him out of this mess.
Just sell you out, and he is good to go!
Mallam is truly a better man than I am, because I don't think Nigerians deserves this sacrifice!
URGENT APPEAL: FULANI COMMUNITY IN BARIKIN LADI LG OF PLATEAU STATE CALLS FOR JUSTICE OVER ALLEGED DSS ABUSES
The cries of the Fulani community in Barikin Ladi Local Government Area deserve to be heard with fairness, compassion, and urgency. Allegations of rights violations by security operatives should never be ignored, they must be investigated transparently, impartially, and in accordance with the rule of law.
Every Nigerian, regardless of ethnicity or background, deserves dignity, justice, and protection under the law. We call on the relevant authorities to ensure that the truth is established, innocent lives are protected, and justice is served without fear or prejudice.
Silence in the face of alleged injustice only deepens pain. Let humanity, accountability, and the rule of law prevail.

OPINION: The Silence After Risku’s Murder Is Dangerous — Benue Must Speak Before Violence Speaks for It
By Zagazola Makama
Several hours have passed since the brutal murder of the Chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) in Benue State, Alhaji Ardo Risku, and his son, Ibrahim. Yet, what has echoed louder than the gunshots that ended their lives is the deafening silence from the Benue State Government. That silence is troubling.
According to multiple security sources, Risku was not just another community leader. He was widely regarded by security agencies as one of the most peaceful Fulani leaders in Benue State. A man who consistently stood on the side of dialogue rather than violence. He spent years encouraging restraint, persuading communities to embrace peaceful coexistence, and working closely with security agencies to prevent attacks and reprisals.
Ironically, he was murdered while returning from yet another peace meeting.If there is any definition of dying in the service of peace, this is it.Those who worked closely with him say his efforts played a significant role in keeping many parts of Benue relatively calm over the past several months.
At a time when the state had every reason to descend into another cycle of bloodshed, Risku remained one of the bridges connecting deeply divided communities. That bridge has now been targeted to be destroyed by the enemies of the state who benefits from crises.
Even more heartbreaking is the fact that Risku himself had repeatedly expressed fears that enemies of peace were after him. During previous peace engagements, he openly warned that there were individuals determined to eliminate him because of his commitment to reconciliation. On one occasion, he reportedly cancelled a peace meeting organised by a local government chairman in Benue after receiving credible security concerns about threats to his life.
Sadly, those fears became reality. One senior security official who knew Risku described his death as “disturbing, painful and entirely undeserved.” “He was a good man,” the officer said. “Throughout the years, he was never found wanting in any criminal activity. He never encouraged violence. He consistently supported every peace initiative. Ironically, peace became his death sentence,”
“This man spends years preaching peace. He convinces angry communities to embrace dialogue instead of revenge. He works with security agencies. He attends every peace meetings. He risks his own life trying to prevent bloodshed.Then he is murdered on his way home after honouring another invitation for peace talks.
In the end, his fears proved justified. The enemies of peace found him. But where were the voices of leadership? Still searching for the right press release? Or perhaps someone was calculating the political cost of condemning the murder of a Fulani man. Because these days, it appears that condemning the killing of an innocent citizen has become a political risk rather than a moral obligation.
Let’s ask the uncomfortable question. Would the condemnation have taken this long if the victim belonged to another ethnic group? That question alone should trouble every Nigerian.
Since when did ethnicity become the deciding factor in determining whose life deserves immediate sympathy?
Risku had lived in Benue for decades. He invested his energy in promoting peaceful coexistence. Security agencies trusted him enough to involve him in every peace initiatives.
Yet after his murder, official silence became louder than the bullets that killed him. What exactly are we telling other peace advocates?
Infact, hypocrites who tried to justify the killing are saying that he was killed by his own people in order to truncate the relative peace in the state.
Exclusive: Troops Rescue Wife of Retired General Rabe Abubakar in Katsina, Intensify Offensive Against Bandits
By: Zagazola Makama
Nigerian Army troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA have rescued Mrs. Abubakar, wife of retired Maj.-Gen. Rabe Abubakar, following a deadly encounter with armed bandits in Matazu Local Government Area of Katsina State.
Military sources exclusively told Zagazola that the operation, conducted under Operation CLEAN SWEEP III, followed intelligence-led offensives launched in Matazu and adjoining communities after the abduction incident involving the retired senior officer and his family.
According to the sources, troops made contact with the bandits at Tunga village during a search-and-rescue operation, forcing the armed group to flee after coming under heavy military pressure.
“The bandits shot her and fled when we made contact at Tunga village. We have rescued Mrs. Abubakar. She is bleeding, we have given her first aid and are moving her for urgent medical attention,” a military source said.
The source confirmed that the rescued victim was immediately stabilised by troops on the ground before being evacuated to a medical facility for further treatment.
Military authorities said follow-up operations have been intensified in the area, with troops sustaining a coordinated pursuit of fleeing bandits and suspected kingpins believed to be responsible for the attack and earlier abduction.
They added that the ongoing clearance operation under Operation CLEAN SWEEP III will continue until all criminal hideouts are dismantled.
Security sources assured that the military remains committed to tracking down those responsible and ensuring they are brought to justice.
The governor of Plateau State @CalebMutfwang said If farmland is destroyed, the security forces are at liberty to shoot the person.
What if cattle are killed?
What is the punishment for that offense?
If this guy is indeed 15 years old, as many people here have claimed, then how is he able to create such deep, mature tunes with so much wisdom? Is someone writing scripts for him, or is he actually an adult?
I’m honestly confused at this point.
Peter Obi’s exit is a major blow to Atiku’s 2027 presidential ambition. From a realist standpoint, securing 25 percent across southern states will become far more difficult to Atiku without Obi on his ticket. While Atiku will struggle in vain to make electoral inroads in the South, Obi will make incursion into Atiku’s northern turf, winning Plateau, Nasarawa, the FCT, and possibly Benue and Taraba. Obi will also make a good showing in other Northern states with significant Christian communities such as Southern Kaduna, Southern Borno, Southern Gombe and Southern Adamawa. Don’t downplay it. Obi’s absence has reshaped the electoral map, and Atiku is feeling the weight of it.
