Deputy Commissioner of Police DCP

Alumiwa Adaji has officially announced
1:10
the appointment of Chief Superintendent
1:12
of Police, CSP Benjamin Hyundai as the
1:15
new public relations officer of the

former police force spokesperson was
1:22
promoted, reassigned, and redeployed to
1:24
Delta State as the deputy commissioner
1:26
of police in charge of operations. A
1:29
sensitive position that has generated
1:31
massive reactions from members of the
1:33
public, especially those who widely
1:35
believed the DCP Alumi used his office
1:38
as force spokesperson to suppress
1:40
freedom of speech by arresting and
1:42
detaining people on grounds of alleged
1:45
cyber talking and violence instigation
1:47
against the Nigeria Police Force. While
1:50
many accused him of abandoning the main
1:52
security challenges affecting Nigeria
1:55
and created more time for himself to be
1:57
reading through comment sections on
1:59
social media to harass innocent young
2:02
Nigerians over mere comments. And the
2:04
new posting may offer DCP Alumini where
2:07
the opportunity to always lead a team of
2:10
combat joint security squads to
2:12
battlefields where he may have direct
2:15
contact with some of the deadly and
2:17
well-armed gunmen in the south south and
2:19
southeast geopolitical zones. Like he's
2:22
expected to lead offensive and defensive
2:24
operations against militants and armed
2:26
robbers who have killed several
2:28
policemen, sometimes in mass numbers in
2:31
recent years in the oil rich Delta State
2:34
where his new job function required him
2:36
as the police field combat commander of
2:38
the state to develop combat strategies
2:41
to address cases of oil bunkering,
2:43
kidnapping, and more strategies to

confront and push back Bafra

secessionist armed groups widely

believed have good positions and camps.

6:30
the Nigeria Police Force that the two
6:32
trucks involved in the accidents were

7:29
The Anugu State Police Command in a

September 2025 along the Azala four
7:43
corner axis of the jewel carriage Enugu
7:48
The crashes claimed 10 lives and left 10
7:51
others hospitalized. The first incident,
7:54
a multiple vehicle crash, happened at
7:56
about 9:00 a.m. on the Enugu inwardbound
7:59
lane. A hollow truck inscribed Visco
8:02
Investment Global and laden with bags of
8:04
white cement was on route Abuja from
8:06
Abba Abby estate when it collided with a
8:09
Toyota Corolla car that was attempting
8:11
to overtake another truck on the same
8:13
route. A Photon bus and a Dhatsu Hyjet
8:17
Mini bus, both driving one way, were
8:20
also caught in the collision. Sadly, the
8:23
truck head and the Toyota Corolla car
8:25
went up in flames with five occupants of
8:27
the car burning to death. A passenger in
8:30
the mini bus was equally confirmed dead

families of the deceased has directed
9:20
the state motor traffic department to
9:22
carry out a diligent investigation into
9:25
the circumstances surrounding the
9:26
accidents. The CP describes the crashes
9:29
as avoidable and strongly cautioned
9:31
drivers to exercise utmost care,
9:34
especially during these ember months
9:36
when road traffic usually increases and
9:38
accidents are more frequent. He reminded
9:41
motorists that no journey is worth the
9:43
loss of lives, urging them to shun
9:45
recklessness, obey traffic rules, and

prioritize safety over speed to prevent
9:51
further tragedies. SP denial in Dukquay.
9:54
The police public relations officer
9:56
Enugu state command stated in a
9:59
statement signed by its management on
10:01
Wednesday. Dangote group said the
10:04
vehicle with Dangote inscription was
10:06
operated by a third party. We are
10:09
engaging with the appropriate agencies
10:11
to find out why the truck was carrying
10:13
our logo when it is not part of our
10:15
fleet. Going forward, we will apply more
10:18
scrutiny to the unauthorized use of our
10:20
brand identity, especially the misuse of
10:23
our logo on vehicles not linked to the
10:25
group. Ordinarily, it is our policy not
10:29
to comment on individual cases, but the
10:31
spread of misinformation linking these
10:33
incidents to the Dangote group without
10:35
evidence has compelled us to respond. We
10:38
call on the public and the media to
10:40
avoid spreading unverified claims, the
10:43
statement partly read. We are committed
10:45
to cooperating fully with the relevant
10:47
authorities and insist that
10:49
investigations should be allowed to run
10:51
the course without interference. We
10:54
strongly reject attempts to exploit
10:55
tragedies like this for malicious or
10:57
financial gain. The Dangote Group stated
11:00
and the company maintained that it
11:02
remains committed to the highest
11:03
standards of corporate responsibility,
11:06
safety and integrity. We had reported
11:09
that a well-known human rights activist
11:11
and a humanitarian Martins Vincent aka
11:15
Vid Darkman has apparently threatened
11:17
the media especially those he referred
11:19
to as bloggers not to use his video
11:21
contents on their page and if they do he
11:24
would report the video to the management

11:38
stated this on Tuesday noon in a 9
11:41
minutes video wherein he accused the
11:43
media, especially those he referred to

this month passed on exactly 6:30 hours
14:06
bringing you the news in a more digital
14:10
Nigeria President Bola Ahmed Tonubu has
14:13
said that the West Africa country has no
14:15
fear over whatever the president of the
14:17
United States Donald Trump is doing.
14:20
Although the Nigeria president did not
14:22
give details what the US president is
14:25
doing that the nation has no fear of.
14:28
But President Anubu at a meeting with
14:30
political leaders at the state house in
14:32
Abuja on Tuesday said that the country
14:35
has met its revenue target for 2025 from
14:38
non-oil revenue sources saying if
14:42
Nigeria as of August has already met
14:44
revenue target from non-oil products the
14:47
country has no fear of whatever the
14:49
president of the United States US is
14:51
doing adding that the economy of the
14:54
country is now stabilized saying the nar
14:57
currency is now performing well in the
14:59
foreign exchange market with a claim he
15:02
met dollar exchange rate at 1,900 naira
15:05
per $1 on May 29th, 2023 when he took
15:10
over as the president of the West Africa
15:12
country, praising himself that he has
15:14
worked hard to reduce the foreign
15:16
exchange rate from 1,900 naira to 1,450
15:21
naira per $1. A claim we fact check to
15:25
be very incorrect. We observed that
15:27
President Boler Tonubu on May 29th 2023
15:31
met foreign exchange rate at 461 naira
15:35
per $1. On the day of his inauguration,
15:38
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu issued a
15:40
policy statement directing the central
15:42
bank of Nigeria to ensure a unified
15:45
exchange rate. a policy statement that
15:47
made the exchange rate to increase from
15:50
4561 naira to 853 naira per $1 at the
15:55
end of 2023. After the president Boler
15:58
Ahmed Tanubu officially pegged and
16:00
increased the foreign exchange rate from
16:03
461 naira to 750 naira per $1 in his
16:08
2024 budget which made cost of food
16:12
stuffs and other cost of living in the
16:14
country to increase more than 200% and
16:17
while presenting the 2025 budget
16:20
president Bola Ahmed Tonubu pegged and
16:23
increased the foreign exchange rate from
16:25
750 naira to 1,500 naira per $1. This
16:30
policy action of the president has since
16:33
made cost of food stuffs and other basic
16:35
necessities in Nigeria to increase
16:37
outrageously more than 700% with no
16:40
reduction till date like a sache water
16:44
that used to be sold for 5 naira is now
16:46
sold between 20 naira to 50 naira in
16:49
some locations in Nigeria. Details of
16:53
some of President Bola Ahmed Tonubu's
16:55
statements as presented by the
16:57
presidential spokesperson Beao Onanuga
17:00
reads verbatim below. President Bola
17:02
Ahmed Tonubu said on Tuesday in Abuja
17:05
that the revenue target for 2025 was
17:08
achieved in August following economic
17:10
reforms focused on stimulating the
17:12
non-oil sector. He said that the bulk of
17:15
the revenue came from the non-oil
17:17
sector. The president assured Nigerians
17:20
that the renewed hope agenda is firmly
17:22
anchored on building critical
17:24
infrastructure, improving health
17:26
facilities, ensuring food sovereignty,
17:29
and providing security. He spoke at a
17:32
meeting at the presidential villa with
17:33
the founding members of the defunct
17:35
Congress for progressive change and the
17:37
Boohari Organization led by the former
17:40
governor of Nasarawa State, Umaru Tanko
17:43
Al- Makura. President Tonubu said that
17:46
the economy was heading in the right
17:48
direction. The economy is now
17:50
stabilized. Nobody is trading pieces of
17:53
paper for foreign exchange forex
17:55
anymore. The economy is now predictable.
17:59
You do not need to know the CBN Governor
18:02
Yi Cardoso to obtain foreign exchange or
18:05
import goods. What we need now is
18:08
building the ship and the vessels for
18:09
the export of our goods and creating
18:11
more jobs for our people, the president
18:14
noted. He said the federal government
18:16
will establish agricultural
18:18
mechanization centers in all regions of
18:20
the country to build capacity, expand
18:23
cultivation and harvest, and guarantee
18:25
food sovereignty. We are going to have
18:28
trainees. That program is our path to
18:31
food sovereignty. Quote, reflecting on
18:33
his long-standing relationship with the
18:35
CPC, President Tonubu described the
18:38
political journey and merger as a sweet
18:41
memory and expressed gratitude to the
18:44
group for their support. When I see
18:46
people like you, I am determined to work
18:48
harder. President Tonubu assured the
18:51
delegation that the legacies of former
18:53
President Muhammadu Buuhari would be
18:55
sustained and immortalized with the
18:57
Bukhari House, adding that more members
18:59
of the old CPC would be given
19:01
opportunities to participate in the
19:03
government. Thank you for your patience
19:06
until now. But first of all, we must
19:09
cure the economy and bring hope to the
19:11
people, which is what we stand for.
19:14
Thank you for believing in me. He said
19:17
the speaker of the house of
19:18
representatives right honorable Tajuin
19:21
Abbas thanked President Tonubu for his
19:23
statesmanship and magnanmity towards the
19:25
people and government of Katsina state.
19:28
Abbas thanked the president for his
19:30
vision and broad-mindedness in
19:31
accommodating all political
19:33
stakeholders. The leader of the
19:35
delegation and former governor of
19:37
Nasarawa state, Al-makura said members
19:40
of the former Congress for progressive
19:42
change are committed to the success of
19:44
the APC government. Al- Makura thanked
19:47
the president for his extensive
19:48
participation in the final rights for
19:51
President Buhari. You not only buried
19:53
President Buhari but also honored him
19:56
and ensured a befitting state burial
19:58
with full military honors. Above all,
20:01
your presence throughout the ceremony
20:02
was comforting as it was reassuring,
20:05
al-makura stated. He assured President
20:08
Tonubu of the group's loyalty and
20:10
support. This is to assure you that we
20:12
believe in your administration and that
20:14
will be our focus and commitment to
