FG Orders NAFDAC To Suspend Sachet Alcohol Ban Immediately

Image
The Federal Government has directed the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control to suspend all enforcement actions relating to the proposed ban on sachet alcohol and 200ml PET bottle alcoholic products. The government also warned the agency to immediately stop sealing factories and warehouses over the issue. The directive was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja by the Special Adviser on Public Affairs to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Terrence Kuanum. Kuanum said the order followed a joint intervention by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Office of the National Security Adviser, which raised concerns over the security implications of continued enforcement in the absence of a fully implemented National Alcohol Policy. “Accordingly, all actions, decisions, or enforcement measures relating to the ongoing ban on sachet alcohol are to be suspended pending the final consultations and ...

Image
Newly unsealed Epstein-related court documents reviewed by the Miami Herald include details from a 2019 FBI interview reportedly of former Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter, in which he describes a 2006 phone call where President Donald Trump said of Jeffrey Epstein, “Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” even though the president has repeatedly said he didn’t know about Epstein’s alleged crimes at the time they were happening. Key Facts Trump told Reiter that Maxwell was Epstein’s “operative” and said “she is evil” and that authorities should “focus on her,” according to statements cited in the document that were reported by the Miami Herald.

Again, Gunmen invade Benue Church in Ado Abduct 9 Worshippers during night vigil

Image
Yet to be unidentified gunmen have abducted nine worshippers of Saint John’s Catholic Church, Ojije, Utonkon District of Ado Local Government Area of Benue State.  The worshippers were reportedly whisked away on Sunday during a vigil in the church premises. A former councillor representing Ukwuenyo Ward in the Ado local government legislative council, Emmanuel Udah, confirmed the incident on Monday. In a telephone conversation with Channels Television, Udah described the abduction as “a targeted and planned crime against the Church, when innocent worshippers were at the most sacred ground, a place of worship, a place for peace, and refuge, only to be abducted, while praying, vulnerable and unarmed”. He explained that people of the area were traumatised by the incident, adding that they no longer feel safe. Udah, therefore, asked the authorities to beef up security and nip the continuous attacks in Benue State in the bud. He lamented what he described as the growing sens...

ONLY THE FULANI JIHADIST–IMPERIAL AGENDA FEARS A UNITED MIDDLE BELT

Image
Barr. John Apollos Maton  9th February 2026  A REBUTTAL TO A SAD JOKE MASQUERADING AS POLITICAL ANALYSIS I don't know who the recent Fulani stooge Cham Faliya Sharon is, but his/her writeup "IS THE CONFUSION OF THE MIDDLE BELT COMING FULL CIRCLE TO BITE THE MIDDLE BELT" is such a ridiculous piece I was ashamed for the writer when it opened with a quote from Thomas Paine. I mean, it takes a special pompous type of clown to not only go through writing this but even have it reshared on public platforms by the Fulani Immigrants Nigeria should be sending packing.  The joke of an article under review is not analysis but performance—an exercise in ideological ventriloquism by a writer who mistakes obedience for insight. It reads like a brief written to order, not a position arrived at through honest inquiry. Like Judas Iscariot, the author appears to have concluded that selling one’s intellectual integrity for proximity to power is a rational transaction. History, ho...

How Off-the-shelf Drones Are Changing Jihadist Warfare In West Africa

Image
Jihadist groups are increasingly carrying out drone strikes in West Africa, raising alarm that they are building the capacity to wage a "war from the skies". A leading violence monitoring organisation, Acled, has recorded at least 69 drone strikes by an al-Qaeda affiliate in Burkina Faso and Mali since 2023, while two Islamic State (IS) affiliates have carried out around 20 - mostly in Nigeria, which has been battling numerous insurgent groups for almost 25 years. The latest drone attack took place in Nigeria's north-eastern Borno state on 29 January, when jihadists carried out a two-pronged assault - with multiple armed drones and ground fighters - on a military base. The military said nine of its soldiers were killed in the attack by the Islamic State of West Africa Province (Iswap) - identified by Acled as the "most prolific" IS African affiliate in "drone warfare". The jihadists tended to carry out strikes with "commercially availa...
