Five officers of the Nigeria Police Force reportedly died on Tuesday following a tragic road accident that occurred on the Zaria-Kano Road.
Reports obtained by OrituMedia revealed that the security personnel were part of police officers deployed to Edo State during last Saturday’s governorship election in the state.

Giving an update on the incident, the spokesperson for the Kano State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), CRC Abdullahi Labaran, in a statement made available to the media, confirmed that the deceased officers were returning from the recent governorship election held in Edo State.

Labaran reported that the accident took place early Tuesday morning at Karfi Village, near the Trailer Park along the Zaria-Kano Road.

“The crash, reported by the Kura Local Government Police Division, involved two vehicles – a trailer and a Toyota Hummer Bus with registration number 14B101KN belonging to Kano line.

“The accident, which took place at approximately 0115 hours, involved a total of fifteen individuals. Sadly, five lives were lost, and ten people sustained varying degrees of injuries.

“The victims were identified as members of the Nigeria Police Force returning from a special assignment in Edo State, where they had been deployed for election monitoring,” Labaran said.

Labaran stated that preliminary investigations conducted by the FRSC indicated that the accident resulted from excessive speeding, causing the driver of the Hummer bus to lose control and crash into a stationary trailer.

The Sector Commander, ACM Ahmed Tijjani Mohammed, expressed his sincere condolences to the Commissioner of Police in Kano State, the Nigeria Police Force, and the families affected by this tragedy.

He also conveyed his wishes for a swift recovery to those injured.

Emphasizing the importance of compliance with traffic laws, CRC Labaran cautioned against excessive speeding, overloading, and other violations of traffic regulations.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson has claimed that Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool have what it takes to win the English Premier League this season.
After analyzing the 2-2 draw between Manchester City and Arsenal for Sky Sports, Paul Merson highlighted the “togetherness” of certain teams as a key factor for winning the league title this season.

Merson specifically mentioned Arsenal and Manchester City as possessing the unity required to mount a serious title challenge.

He emphasized the significance of togetherness in winning the Premier League, noting that Arsenal, in particular, exudes this quality, which has been absent for the past 21 years.

He also included Liverpool, now under the management of Arne Slot, as a team that possesses the necessary cohesion to be competitive in the title race.

In contrast, Merson expressed doubts about the togetherness within Manchester United, suggesting that this could hinder their title ambitions, as he stressed that Arsenal are well-positioned to be a strong contender for the title this season.

Paul Merson said: “Arsenal have a togetherness and you have to have a togetherness to win leagues. They have got that in abundance and so do Manchester City.

“I think Liverpool has it as well but – and I don’t want to pick on one team – I don’t see that at Manchester United, for example.

“It’s what you need to win league trophies, and Arsenal are firmly in the running this season.”

As the National Assembly reconvenes today, Tuesday, Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele has announced that both chambers are anticipating the presentation of the 2025 budget, along with the new Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper from President Bola Tinubu.
In a statement signed personally by Bamidele, he emphasized the critical importance of the MTEF, stating, “The consideration of MTEF occupies a prime place on the rung of our legislative agenda. This is simply because MTEF must be ready before the 2025 Appropriation Bill can be laid before the National Assembly.”

The MTEF is a legal framework providing the budget template and is typically submitted to Parliament before the President’s budget presentation.

The Senate and House of Representatives embarked on their annual recess on July 17 and are set to resume plenary activities today.

Bamidele also highlighted the ongoing efforts to review the 1999 Constitution, which began with the inauguration of a dedicated committee.

He noted that the committee, chaired by Deputy Senate President, Jibrin Barau, will hold retreats, strategy sessions, and zonal meetings to gather input on the constitution’s proposed amendment sections.

“This exercise promises a truly federative approach that will redefine and reinvent public governance in this country,” he added.

Additionally, Bamidele indicated that a joint committee would be inaugurated to investigate allegations of oil theft, addressing a pressing issue that had previously been managed by separate ad hoc committees in the Senate and House of Representatives.

Bamidele said, “As we return fully to the parliamentary sessions on Tuesday this week, the National Assembly will, without ambiguity, revisit its decision to decisively address challenges in the petroleum industry.

“The industry is not optimal in its performance. This may not be unconnected to crude oil theft, endless turnaround maintenance of public refineries, importation of substandard petroleum products, and fuel supply disruption, among others.

“Contrary to some media reports, the Senate never suspended its Ad Hoc Committee to Investigate Alleged Economic Sabotage in the Nigerian Petroleum Industry, but postponed its public hearing due to the need to address issues that border on the Rules of the National Assembly.”

He said both chambers of the National Assembly would resolve the issues and possibly constitute a joint committee that would continue the investigation from where the ad hoc committee stopped.

Meanwhile, President Bola Tinubu has issued a fresh directive to security agencies in the country to go after cyber criminals and other organized crime groups.

President Tinubu said security and law enforcement agencies — including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), and the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), must intensify efforts in cracking down on individuals in possession of and trafficking in stolen vehicles.

He stressed that Nigeria is not a destination for stolen vehicles or other ill-gotten wealth.

The President made the declaration in a statement on Sunday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, while reacting to the recent handover of 53 vehicles and $180,300 by the EFCC to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), on behalf of two Canadian citizens who were victims of cybercrimes perpetrated by Nigerian nationals.

Due to Nigeria’s worsening economy, many beggars now stay out late into the night to meet their daily targets. Once reliant on generous donations, they now receive significantly less as Nigerians prioritize family needs over alms.

Hauwa Garba, a mother of three, shared that the highest amount she received in a day was just N100, a stark contrast to previous years. The decline in giving has forced beggars like Hauwa and others to extend their begging hours, struggling to survive in an increasingly tough economic climate.

The Federal Government has approved the prohibition of money rituals and the glamorising of vices in Nigerian films.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Executive Director and CEO of the National Film and Video Censors Board, Shaibu Husseini disclosed this at a National Stakeholders Engagement on Smoke-Free Nollywood held in Enugu on Wednesday.

The event was organised by the NFVCB and Corporate Accountability and Public Participation Africa.

Movie producers, directors and actors drawn from different parts of the country, as well as leaders of various guilds and associations in the Nigerian film industry were present at the event.

Husseini said that today, we are facing an industry emergency requiring bold and ambitious actions from all parents, guardians and stakeholders.

“When my predecessor approached the former Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Muhammed on the need to make a subsidiary legislation to curtail the display of smoking in Nigerian movies, he saw the need to include money rituals.

“Others included in the regulation are ritual killings and glamorising other crimes to further sanitise the film industry.

“Today, I am delighted to announce to you that the Minister of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, pursuant to section 65 of the NFVCB Act 2004 has approved the regulation.

“The minister has approved the Prohibition of Money Ritual, Ritual Killing, To***co, To***co Products, Ni****ne Product Promotion and Glamorisation display in Movies, Musical Videos and Skits” Regulations 2024.”

“We have also forwarded the approved copy to the Federal Ministry of Justice for Gazette,” he said.

Husseini said the sensitisation programme was to educate stakeholders on the danger inherent in the consummation of smoking in Nigerian movies.

According to him, besides the health implications, glamorising smoking in films poses a negative influence on teens and young adults who constitute the largest segment of Nigerian movie viewers.

He said that the board was set to undertake detailed enlightenment programmes in secondary schools, tertiary institutions, local communities, faith groups and other institutions.

“As you all know, the film industry occupies a central position in the entertainment and creative sector, and we must continue to place the highest premium on the progress of the film industry.

“The NFVCB supports smoke-free movies and smoke-free Nollywood, and we, therefore, seek your collaboration to develop creative content that discourages smoking and promotes positive health messages.

“After a series of engagements, the NFVCB in collaboration with the CAPPA decided to do a ‘subsidiary regulations’ to cater for smoking in movies since this aspect was not expressly spelt out in the extant Law.

“The NFVCB is well prepared to take leadership in this regard and has planned and begun implementing innovative ways to achieve its mandate,” he said

NAN reports that the Board must register all film and video outlets across the country, and keep a register of such registered outlets among other functions.
