26-year-old Nigerian Man Stabbed to Death in UK

Posted on by admin50

 

A 26-year-old Nigerian man has been s#bbed to d3ath in the United Kingdom.

 

Ayowale Aledejana was k!lled in a home in south-east London, according to the Met Police.

 

It was gathered that officers were called to Monson Road, New Cross, at around 7.26pm on Saturday, August 2, 2025 after a man was found with st#b wounds.

 

Officers attended alongside paramedics and London Air Ambulance medics but Mr Aledjana, from South Norwood, Croydon, d!ed at the scene.

His family are being supported by specially trained officers.

 

The incident happened across the road from what was the Duke of Albany pub, which featured in the 2004 film Shaun Of The D3ad.

 

A forensics tent has been set up on the pavement, and flowers have been left outside the terraced house.

 

A 23-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of m8rder and remain in custody.

 

Detective Chief Inspector Lucie Card, who is leading the investigation, said: “Our thoughts are with Ayowale’s family and friends at this difficult time.

 

“I understand this incident will be concerning and we are carrying out a fast-paced and thorough investigation to establish the circumstances.

 

“I would encourage anyone who has not yet spoken to us to do so.

 

“Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 quoting reference 6271/02AUG

 

Saudi Arabia executes 17 people in 3 days

Posted on by admin50

 

Saudi Arabia has executed 17 individuals in just three days, according to reports from state media on Monday the country’s fastest rate of capital punishment since March 2022, when 81 people were executed in a single day.

 

The Saudi Press Agency confirmed that two Saudi nationals were executed on Monday for what were described as “terrorist crimes.” This came on the heels of 15 other executions over the weekend, mostly involving foreign nationals convicted of drug-related offenses.

 

Thirteen of them were convicted of smuggling hashish, and one was executed for trafficking cocaine.

This brings the total number of executions in the kingdom so far this year to 239.

 

The figure includes 161 executions for drug offences and 136 foreign nationals, based on an AFP tally of official data.

 

If the current trend continues, Saudi Arabia could surpass its 2023 record of 338 executions, the highest since public tracking began in the early 1990s.

 

Human rights organisations have expressed deep concern.

 

Jeed Basyouni of Reprieve noted that most of the recent executions involved foreign nationals and related to hashish smuggling.

 

She described the surge as alarming, especially at a time when many countries are moving toward decriminalising cannabis-related offences.

Analysts link the spike in executions to Saudi Arabia’s intensified “war on drugs,” which began in 2023. Many of those now being executed were arrested shortly after the campaign launched and have since completed legal processes.

 

After a three-year moratorium on executions for drug-related crimes, Saudi Arabia resumed the practice in late 2022.

 

Authorities insist the death penalty is carried out only after all appeals are exhausted and argue it serves as a deterrent to crime and helps maintain national security.

 

However, activists argue that the growing use of capital punishment contradicts the kingdom’s efforts to project a modern and progressive image under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s Vision 2030 reform programme.

Posted on by admin50

 

 

Five Nigerian women suspected of engaging in sex work have been apprehended by police during a coordinated raid aimed at curbing criminal activity in the Asokwa Municipality, Ashanti Region, Ghana.

 

The Asokwa District Police carried out the surprise operation in several known hotspots to preempt any criminal plots. In total, twelve individuals were arrested, including five women and seven men, at different locations.

 

During questioning, the five women admitted to engaging in prostitution as a means of survival. They were identified as Empress David (22), Sonia Isaac (24), Loveth Michael (18), Success Moses (21), and Victor Alice (23).

 

A police statement confirmed:

 

“On July 30, 2025, between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., the Asokwa District Command conducted a swoop within the Asokwa Municipality. Twelve suspects were arrested during the exercise.”

 

It further noted that the five Nigerian female suspects confessed to practicing prostitution at Sokoban Wood Village, while the other seven individuals were arrested at ghettos in Asago, known to be drug hubs.

 

The men were identified as Jacob Amaliba (30), Usif Awuro (39), Adu Kofi (22), Kwame Atobiga (39), Isaac Boamah (27), Emmanuel Boakye (29), and Pekazine Puakan (28).

 

Police added that although no incriminating items were found on the suspects during a search, investigations are ongoing. All those arrested remain in custody and are yet to be formally screened and profiled.

Lagos State Government Seals Vaniti Club House For Violations Of Traffic Regulations

..State Reaffirms Uncompromising Stance Against the Obstruction of Public Roadways and Endangerment of Communal Safety

 

In an unambiguous assertion of its steadfast dedication to preserving public order and ensuring the seamless mobility of persons and vehicles within the metropolis, the Lagos State Government, through the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), has sealed the premises of Vaniti Club House, strategically located on Adeola Odeku Street, Victoria Island, over protracted and deliberate infractions of the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018.

 

This resolute enforcement action, personally led by the General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, and meticulously executed by the Agency’s Rescue and Compliance Unit, follows the Club’s habitual and defiant infringement of established traffic laws particularly its persistent facilitation of illegal roadside parking and flagrant encroachment upon public highways. These actions have not only disrupted traffic flow but have posed substantial risks to public safety.

 

It bears reiterating that the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018, unequivocally proscribes any acts that obstruct vehicular movement or imperil the safety of road users, categorizing such conduct as a grievous statutory offence liable to punitive legal sanctions.

Despite a series of exhaustive sensitization efforts including sustained public enlightenment campaigns, direct stakeholder engagements, and multiple official warnings the management of Verniti Club House has remained intransigent, choosing to perpetuate acts that undermine the operational integrity of the State’s traffic ecosystem, particularly within the high-traffic corridor of Victoria Island.

 

Consequently, the State Government has invoked its full regulatory powers to seal the premises indefinitely. This directive shall remain in effect until the establishment unequivocally demonstrates total and verifiable compliance with all extant traffic laws and ancillary regulatory frameworks.

 

According to Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki “This enforcement initiative is not a one-off occurrence. It marks the beginning of a broader and sustained compliance campaign. We are actively monitoring other clubs, event centres, lounges, and recreational facilities particularly those that persist in impeding traffic flow by commandeering public roads and adjoining streets for private use.”

 

The Lagos State Government, via LASTMA, reiterates in the strongest terms its zero-tolerance policy toward any person, corporate body, or social enterprise that constitutes an impediment to traffic orderliness or endangers the commuting public.

 

Residents and commuters are therefore enjoined to report any errant event centres, lounges, clubs, or similar establishments that obstruct free passage or constitute a public nuisance to LASTMA through its dedicated toll-free emergency hotline: 0800-00-LASMA (080000527862).

 

The Lagos State Government remains unequivocally committed to fostering a safe, disciplined, and efficiently regulated traffic environment, in alignment with its broader vision of a world-class, livable urban landscape.

ICPC Chairman Calls for Fairness and Integrity in Recruitment, Meets with CDCFIB on Anti-Corruption Collaboration

Posted on by admin50
    In a renewed push to tackle job racketeering and systemic corruption in Nigeria’s public sector, the Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, has called for strengthened collaboration between government agencies to ensure fairness and transparency in recruitment processes. Dr. Aliyu made the appeal on Friday during a courtesy visit by the Executive Secretary of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), Major General Abdulmalik Jibril (rtd), and his team to the ICPC headquarters in Abuja.   The ICPC Chairman stressed the need for government institutions to uphold meritocracy and maintain a level playing field for all Nigerian job applicants. He warned that systemic irregularities in employment not only dampen national cohesion but also deter foreign investment.   – Advertisement –     “One area I have always raised concerns about is the area of employment. Many young Nigerians are challenged with job opportunities. Agencies of government should try to exercise fairness, try and foster a level playing ground for all, irrespective of where they come from,” Dr. Aliyu stated.   He reiterated that public sector leaders, particularly heads of agencies, must be intentional about equity in hiring to safeguard social stability. He noted that the Commission’s anti-corruption strategy hinges on a tripartite model: prevention, enforcement, and public enlightenment.   Dr. Aliyu further proposed formalizing a working relationship between ICPC and CDCFIB through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), aimed at enhancing intelligence sharing, joint training, and institutional capacity building.   Responding, Major General Abdulmalik Jibril (rtd) commended the ICPC Chairman for the warm reception and acknowledged the Commission’s pivotal role in promoting ethical standards in public service. He affirmed the Board’s willingness to partner with ICPC to deepen transparency and strengthen institutional credibility within the paramilitary recruitment processes.   The CDCFIB, originally formed via the 1986 Decree No. 14, supervises the Nigerian Correctional Service, Federal Fire Service, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and the Nigeria Immigration Service.   Newspot Nigeria commends this move toward cross-agency accountability and urges that proposed reforms be backed by tangible outcomes that restore trust in public service recruitment.

‘UK my true home’- Kemi Badenoch says she no longer identifies as Nigerian

Posted on by admin50

 

 

United Kingdom Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, says she no longer identifies as Nigerian and does not hold a passport for the country.

 

Badenoch, who spent much of her childhood in Lagos and is of Yoruba heritage, explained her stance during an appearance on the Rosebud podcast, noting that her sense of belonging now rests firmly in Britain.

 

“I have not renewed my Nigerian passport, I think, not since the early 2000s. I don’t identify with it any more, most of my life has been in the UK and I’ve just never felt the need to,” she said.

 

While stressing she remains connected to her roots, she said her home is defined by where her family is today. “I’m Nigerian through ancestry, by birth despite not being born there because of my parents, but by identity I’m not really. I know the country very well, I have a

lot of family there, and I’m very interested in what happens there.

“But home is where my now family is, and my now family is my children, it’s my husband and my brother and his children, in-laws. The Conservative Party is very much part of my family, my extended family, I call it.”

Badenoch was born in Wimbledon, South West London, in 1980, just before her parents returned with her to Nigeria. She was among the final group of children to automatically receive British citizenship before Margaret Thatcher’s government changed the law the following year.

Growing up in Lagos, she often felt caught between two worlds. “Finding out that I did have that British citizenship was a marvel to so many of my contemporaries, so many of my peers,” she said.

Her parents eventually encouraged her to move to the UK at 16, believing opportunities were limited in Nigeria. “I think the reason that I came back here was actually a very sad one, and it was that my parents thought, ‘there is no future for you in this country’.”

Badenoch recalled never feeling entirely at home in Nigeria. “I remember never quite feeling that I belonged there,” she said.

She has faced criticism in Nigeria for her frank comments about corruption and military rule during her youth, with Lagos politicians accusing her of tarnishing the country’s image. Last year, Nigeria’s vice-president remarked that she was free to “remove the Kemi from her name” if she felt no pride in her Nigerian heritage. Her office responded that she “stands by what she says” and is “not the PR for Nigeria.”

Reflecting on her arrival in Britain, Badenoch said she did not encounter significant racial prejudice. “I knew I was going to a place where I would look different to everybody, and I didn’t think that that was odd.

“What I found actually quite interesting was that people didn’t treat me differently, and it’s why I’m so quick to defend the UK whenever there are accusations of racism. I did not experience prejudice in any meaningful form. That doesn’t mean prejudice doesn’t exist, that it doesn’t happen, many people do. But I didn’t, not seriously.”

In describing her political life, Badenoch likened the Conservative Party to an “extended family with lots of drama.”

“I do see the Conservative Party as family, so much of what we do goes beyond party policy,” she said. “It’s instinct, we recognise each other, we have the same sort of squabbles and it’s why when people ask me about plots I just think, ‘eh this is extended family stuff’. Anybody who’s got an extended family with lots of drama will recognise that.”

Senate Minority Leader looses Local government as ADC Soar 

Posted on by admin50

 

By Dan Atayi

 

A major political shift appears to be unfolding in Benue South Senatorial District, as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) gains strong footing in Okpokwu Local Government Area of Benue State, which is the home base of Senate Minority Leader, Comrade Abba Moro.

 

The unveiling of the ADC in Okpokwu on Tuesday, July 30, 2025, by the state Chairman of the ADC, Rt. Hon. Terngu Tsegba, became a powerful political statement that might sweep the feet of the incumbent Senator. It was initially perceived as a quiet realignment but now grown into a visible movement attracting high-profile defectors from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

 

Among the notable political figures visibly seen were Group Captain Steve Adah (Retd), Hon. Barr. Jacob Ogwuche, former Okpokwu Local Government Chairman, Barr. Chris Iduh, former Labour Party Deputy Governorship Candidate, Dr. Ralph Otobo, Former Chairman of Benue State Councillors Forum and a Rights Activists, Hon. Comrade Daniel Atayi; the 2023 Labour Party Assembly contender for Okpokwu State, Hon. Caleb Idoko; Hon. Vincent Okoko Odo, Hon. Robert Obeta, Hon. Igoche Ameh, among others.

 

The presence of these political heavyweights signals a growing dissatisfaction with the current leadership and a rallying of support around the ADC as an alternative platform for change.

 

Observers said the event could mark the beginning of a significant political shift in Benue South, particularly as grassroots support appears to be eroding from Senator Moro’s feet.

 

“This is more than just a political event, it’s an exodus from PDP, LP and APC with no apologies” said Comrade Atayi.

 

It will be recalled that Senator Moro’s political godfather and long-time mentor, Senator David Mark, has since been appointed the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a development many believe has further weakened the senator’s grip on the local political structure.

 

With the ADC making visible inroads and enjoying growing acceptability across communities, the battle for dominance in Benue’s political landscape is clearly heating up!

 

Comrade Dan Atayi is a Political/Rights Activist; a one time Councillor of Ekeh Ward in Okpokwu LGA, & Doubled as the Chairman, Benue State Councillors Forum.

He is also an OAP for National and State political trends and Activism.
