Abdulrazak Umar, the WhatsApp Terror Lord, Used "The Oneness of Allah Is the Foundation of Peace" to Turn Ordinary Men into Cold-Blooded Kidnappers

Abdulrazak Umar, also known as Abu Khalifa, has been exposed as the mastermind behind the Oriire school abduction. The Federal Government has unmasked him as a terrorist trainer who used a WhatsApp group with the deceptively peaceful name "The Oneness of Allah is the Foundation of Peace" to radicalise, train, and incite his followers to commit acts of terror. Behind the pious title, the group was a breeding ground for violence, where Umar orchestrated the abduction of 46 innocent pupils and teachers, who endured 56 days of torture before their rescue.

The charges against him reveal a chilling pattern: he did not just plan the kidnapping; he groomed others to carry out the atrocities. His WhatsApp group was a virtual boot camp for terrorists, where he dispensed instructions, issued threats, and fueled a campaign of terror that shook Oyo State to its core.

Yet, the same religion that preaches peace and compassion has been twisted into a weapon of war. While millions of Muslims practice their faith in peace, extremists like Umar continue to hijack the name of Allah to justify unspeakable crimes. The irony is deafening: a group named "The Oneness of Allah is the Foundation of Peace" became the very foundation of terror.

Umar, along with his co-conspirators Yunusa Musa and Shamsu Adamu Sani, is now facing the full wrath of the law. But the question remains: how many more groups like his are hiding in plain sight, waiting to strike?

Tobe Nwigwe’s tribute to Pharrell Williams is one of the most insanely creative tributes I’ve ever seen in my life. Absolutely brilliant.

Only Akpabio led Senate has rejected a motion for an independent probe to the fake agency issue twice.

Only Akpabio led Senate has rejected an independent probe to the circumstances surrounding the Oyo abduction incident.

Only Akpabio led Senate Approved the Rivers State of Emergency with a voice note.

Only Akpabio led Senate approved massive external borrowing, including a $6 billion loan request processed in under three hours, as well as a $516 million syndicated facility from Deutsche Bank for the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway.

Only Godswill Akpabio led Senate approved every appointments that has ever come from the executive without proper scrutiny.

Only Godswill Akpabio led Senate approved the ambiguous provisions regarding the electronic transmission of election results, thereby creating loopholes to undermine electoral transparency.

Now tell me, is there anything Akpabio led Senate cannot actually do to please the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led Executives?

The only thing left for Akpabio to approve is the head of John the Baptist for Tinubu.

Pathetic!!

I have followed with deep sorrow and mounting concern the reports surrounding the death of Miss Mary Habila, a 26-year-old Nigerian from Nok, Southern Kaduna, who died on June 27, 2026, within the private residence of the Honourable Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, in Uburu, Ebonyi State.

First, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Habila family. No family should have to mourn a daughter taken in the prime of her life while also fighting simply to learn the truth of how she died.

But condolences are not enough. Nigerians deserve answers, and it is on this score that the Tinubu administration has failed, comprehensively and disgracefully.

Consider the facts that are not in dispute. A young woman died in the residence of a serving Federal Minister. For nearly two weeks, neither the Minister, nor the police, nor any arm of government said a word to the Nigerian people. It took the courage of Sahara Reporters to bring this death into public view. Three weeks after her death, no autopsy has been performed. No cause of death has been established. The investigation remains domiciled in the very state where the Minister served two terms as Governor and where his influence is beyond question.
And through all of this, silence from the Presidency. Silence from the Federal Executive Council. Silence from the Inspector-General of Police. Silence from the National Assembly. Not one word. Not one directive. Not one gesture to assure Nigerians that the life of Mary Habila matters to this government.

Instead, the Minister has been permitted to manage the narrative of a death that occurred under his own roof: issuing statements through his personal aides, deploying his private lawyers to correspond with the police, and continuing his official duties as though nothing has happened, while civil society groups, youth organisations, and the family’s own community cry out for an independent inquiry.

Let me be clear: I make no pronouncement on anyone’s guilt or innocence. That is precisely the point. Only a credible, independent, and transparent investigation can establish the truth, and it is the refusal of the Federal Government to guarantee such an investigation that constitutes the scandal before us.

A government’s first duty is the protection of life. Where a life is lost in circumstances touching a high official of state, the burden on government to act transparently is at its heaviest.

President Tinubu’s administration has instead treated this tragedy as an inconvenience to be waited out. If the death of a young Nigerian woman in a Minister’s residence cannot stir this government to act, then Nigerians must ask: whose life, exactly, does this government value?

I therefore demand the following: One, President Bola Tinubu must direct the Honourable Minister of Works to step aside immediately, pending the conclusion of investigations. This is not a punishment; it is the minimum standard of public accountability in any serious democracy. No official under this cloud should preside over a federal ministry as though it were business as usual.

Two, the Inspector-General of Police must immediately transfer the investigation from the Ebonyi State Command to Force Headquarters, with the involvement of independent forensic experts. No investigation conducted in the shadow of the Minister’s home-state influence can command public confidence.

Three, a full, independent, and internationally credible autopsy must be conducted without further delay, with the findings made public. The stalemate over the post-mortem, three weeks after this young woman’s death is an indictment of every institution involved.

Four, the family of Mary Habila must be protected from any pressure, inducement, or intimidation, and must be guaranteed unfettered access to the facts of their daughter’s death.

The Three Tiers of Government Keep Budgeting What They Want to Loot – Obiaraeri

When the current EFCC chairman was sworn in, over N2.9 trillion was discovered to have been stolen through over-invoicing at the federal level alone, and it happened across all 3 tiers of government.

The director of Signs took a $5 million loan against his own house 12 years after this movie came out. Hollywood had stopped returning his calls.

It's hard to overstate the peak. The Sixth Sense made $672 million on a $40 million budget. Signs made $408 million on $72 million. Newsweek put him on the cover. At 32, M. Night Shyamalan was averaging nearly $400 million per film and getting called the next Spielberg.

Then the collapse. Lady in the Water barely broke even. The Last Airbender killed a would-be franchise. After Earth lost so much money Will Smith called it the most painful failure of his career. By 2013, in Shyamalan's own words, "nobody was calling, nobody wanted to make a film with me."

So he borrowed $5 million against his 125-acre Pennsylvania estate and shot a found footage horror movie with no studio, no stars, and no distribution deal. He showed the rough cut to every studio in Hollywood. All of them passed.

He went back to the editing room and, as he later told Drexel graduates, "just made one scene better, just one moment better." Universal eventually bought it. The Visit grossed $98 million, nearly 20x its budget.

Then came the part almost no director does after getting burned. He kept refusing studio money. He put $9 million of his own cash into Split: $278 million. He stacked those earnings plus more collateral on his house for Glass: another $247 million.

Hollywood's most bankable director became unbankable, bet the house, and won everything back with his own money.

He still self-finances every film.

[Ife Salako @ifesalakooffice]

Investigation of mysterious death of a person cannot be determined by the person’s family. What if the family is involved in the crime?

In fact, that the family is trying to sabotage the investigation means the @PoliNG must look into this matter seriously.

For once, let human lives matter in this country.

1. Former Accountant General Ahmed Idris was charged with diverting ₦109.5 billion.

2. Former Minister of Power Saleh Mamman has been convicted over the criminal diversion of ₦33.8 billion.

3. Former Attorney General Abubakar Malami has forfeited 48 properties worth ₦212 billion.

4. Malami is also facing a 16-count charge of conspiracy and money laundering involving an alleged ₦8.7 billion, alongside his wife and one of his sons.

5. Just imagine, among the assets forfeited by Malami was a mosque in Kebbi State built with proceeds of illicit wealth. He doesn't have the fear of Almighty Allah.

6. Former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele is facing multiple criminal prosecutions over diversion of ₦154.39 billion.

7. Emefiele has also forfeited 753 housing units to the Federal Government.

How this nation continues to survive such monumental looting across virtually every sector is mind-blowing. Until we fundamentally overhaul our criminal justice system and impose severe penalties for grand corruption, public office will remain an irresistible gateway for those who treat the public treasury as a private vault, while ordinary Nigerians continue to bear the brunt.

This “blue” wash used to be so common at some point in Nigeria and then it seemed to just disappear.

How disappointing. Some people are always eager to harvest where they never planted.

A Mozambican woman running a salon in Melmoth reportedly refused to leave and demanded R100,000. When she started removing and destroying items inside the salon, she was portrayed as the problem.

But were they expecting her to simply walk away and leave everything behind for someone else to occupy and take over her salon?

The Obidient Predator: How the Movement Shielded a Rapist

The mask is off. And it is ugly.

Ifeanyi Ogbonna, the self-styled "Odogwu of Asaba," was one of the loudest voices in the Obidient movement. He campaigned for Peter Obi. He preached about accountability. He shouted about justice and a "New Nigeria." But behind the noise, he was a predator.

The same man who demanded the rule of law is now in custody for allegedly raping a 20-year-old woman who later committed suicide. The same man who called for a better Nigeria was busy destroying lives. He used the movement as a shield, believing his political alignment would protect him from the consequences of his actions.

This is the face of the Obidient movement. Loud. Arrogant. And full of predators hiding behind the promise of a "New Nigeria."

The movement has spent years attacking everyone else, calling out corruption, demanding accountability. But when one of their own is exposed as a rapist, where is the outrage? Where are the demands for justice? Where are the cries for accountability?

Nowhere. Because the Obidient movement is not about justice. It is about power. It is about silencing critics while protecting their own. It is about using the language of revolution to cover the tracks of criminals.

Ifeanyi Ogbonna is not an isolated case. He is a symptom of a movement that has no moral compass. A movement that will defend anyone as long as they wear the Obidient badge.

The mask is off. And Nigerians should not forget what they saw.
