Operatives of the Department of State Services and troops of the Nigerian Army on Wednesday foiled a major attempt by members of the outlawed Eastern Security Network to kidnap scores of students writing the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination in some Southeast states.
The targeted schools for the abductions were located in Enugu, Anambra and Imo states.
According to a statement released on Thursday by the DSS, operatives of the secret police and soldiers acted on credible intelligence and raided an ESN armoury in the Agbani axis of Enugu State.
The statement added that intelligence revealed that ESN members planned to launch the attacks while wearing National Youth Service Corps uniforms.
“If they wail at you Bola Tinubu, don’t worry. They’re wailing because you defeated them and you always defeat them. They are jealous of your Presidency…..”
Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, in USA, Year 2000.
The true test of sustainable governance is the ability to pass the baton to proven hands, guided by minds that see the future clearly.
Today, I present a ticket that reflects the strength, diversity, and future of our great state.
Dr. Obafemi Hamzat has proven himself to be a dedicated public servant, a dependable partner in governance and a steadfast advocate for progress.
Joining him as his running mate is Princess Damilola Sonayon-James, a respected leader, sustainability professional, and grassroots champion whose commitment to community development and youth empowerment reflects the aspirations of many Lagosians.
Together, they bring the experience, competence, and energy needed to build on our achievements and move Lagos forward.
As we prepare for the forthcoming gubernatorial election, I invite party faithful, stakeholders, and all Lagosians to support this team as we continue our shared mission of building a Greater Lagos.
Today, I opened West Africa’s first multi-technology industrial additive manufacturing facility in Lagos.
By producing industrial components and spare parts here in Lagos, Arridex is helping to reduce our dependence on imports, strengthen critical industries and support economic growth.
I commend the Arridex team for their vision and commitment to building solutions that serve not only Nigeria but the wider African continent.
Lagos will continue to support investments that create opportunities, grow local capacity and position our state as a hub for innovation and industry.

"You are as foolish as your Peter Obi, who can't stand the truth. Tinubu is criticised, Atiku is criticised by Obi’s mad dogs. None of them sued people because they recognise that we are in a democracy and people are free to express themselves. Obi has sued Deji Adeyanju, and I heard he has written his wretched letter to Kenneth Okonkwo. If he has such a thin skin against criticism as an ordinary citizen, he will certainly kill all Nigerians with the guns of the state if he ever nears any position of office, God forbid, because Nigerians love to express themselves. We need a tolerant democratic President, not an Obi who does not know his left from his right. Go and get a job and a life."
