Six persons, including members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), were burnt to death following a motor accident that occurred on Wednesday along the Narehi area of the Girei-Song Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

A statement by the spokesman of the Adamawa Police Command, Suleiman Nguroje, said the “unfortunate incident involved a military Gun truck travelling from Gombi towards Yola and a commercial Hummer bus conveying five (5) passengers from Yola to Mubi”.

“Preliminary findings reveal that both vehicles were involved in a head-on collision, resulting in the commercial bus flipping over and bursting into flames,” Nguroje said.

“Tragically, all five passengers aboard the Hummer bus were burnt to death after the vehicle caught fire following the collision,” the statement read in part.

Preliminary identification revealed that four of the deceased were serving members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) posted to Adamawa State.

They were identified as Suleuman Juliet and Usman Shuaibu, who are both indigenes of Kaduna State. But the remaining are yet to be identified, the police said.

Police authorities confirm that one military personnel attached to the military vehicle lost his life as a result of the crash.

“The corpses have been evacuated to the Specialist Hospital, Yola, while efforts are ongoing to identify the remaining bodies and locate their families,” the police said.

Nguroje quoted the Commissioner of Police in Adamawa as expressing his heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased, the Nigerian Armed Forces, the National Youth Service Corps, and all those affected by this tragic incident.

Dear Adeyanju Deji 

It is unfortunate and disappointing that in civilized countries, activists are known for speaking the truth and holding oppressive governments accountable. But the opposite is happening here.

If I didn’t know better, I would think Peter Obi is the president of Nigeria because of how often you mention his name, even though he has chosen not to respond to you.

You abuse him, insult him, and humiliate him as if he did something terrible to you personally.

We have a government that is corrupt and pushing citizens to the point of suffering, yet our so-called activists are focused on someone who is not even in government, but only a former presidential candidate.

This is why many Nigerians believe you work for the APC. Otherwise, what does Peter Obi have to do with the current problems in the country?

I thought the goal of activism was to fight for justice in Nigeria.

Deji, stop calling yourself an activist. You sound more like a political thug who uses Peter Obi’s name to make money on social media. Apart from mentioning Peter Obi, you hardly get attention.

Peter Obi has become like a bank for you — you cash out by insulting him.

Many Nigerians don’t know how much social media pays you for the comments and engagement you get from attacking Peter Obi. But money made this way will not last.

Right now, you are worse than the politicians you claim to criticize.

The way you insult Mr. Peter Obi many people would think he slept with your daughter, wife or mother.

Activism is not $tupidity.

Remove yourself from actvist and take your position on content creators list .

Right now you are the same with sabinus. Comedian actvist

The Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has said the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, never protested under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Suleman clarified that Adeboye and other preachers were directed by the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, to embark on a prayer walk due to the hardship and insecurity issues during Jonathan’s administration.

The response followed growing bashing of Pastor Adeboye by a cross section of Nigerians and members of RCCG over what they claimed is an attempt to stop them from protesting against the surging insecurity in Nigeria by Pastor Adeboye 

They claimed the same Pastor protested again the government of Goodluck Jonathan over same issue 

They described his current stand as hypocritical

Former England defender, Kyle Walker has expressed his concerns regarding Thomas Tuchel’s choice to exclude three significant players from the FIFA World Cup roster.

He asserts that Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, and Morgan Gibbs-White ought to have been included in the squad traveling to the United States this summer.

In an interview with The Sun, Walker remarked that Tuchel’s selection process appears somewhat perplexing, as it omits several top performers.

He specifically highlighted Manchester United players Maguire and Shaw as key individuals who deserved a spot on the team, stating, “Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw have likely had the most impressive seasons for Manchester United in quite some time, yet they are not participating in the tournament. I firmly believe that Luke Shaw should have been on the plane, and I also think Harry Maguire should have been included.”

Walker further expressed that his primary worry for England this summer lies within the defense. He is uncertain whether all the selected defenders can maintain their fitness and commented:

He said, “The defense… I believe there are several players who may not have performed exceptionally well or are dealing with injuries, raising doubts about whether they can be fully relied upon throughout the tournament. This is where I have reservations about some of them, but ultimately, I am not the manager.”

The Burnley player also mentioned Gibbs-White as another unexpected omission from the squad, adding, “I likely would have included Morgan Gibbs-White. He has been outstanding for Forest.”

In addition to this trio, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Phil Foden, and Cole Palmer have also been left out of England’s FIFA World Cup squad.

Israel and Lebanon have reached a conditional agreement to implement a ceasefire, contingent on a complete cessation of fire by Iran-backed Hezbollah.

This is contained in a joint statement released after US-led talks in Washington on Wednesday.

The both nations also committed to creating pilot zones in southern Lebanon, where the Lebanese armed forces will exercise exclusive control, excluding all non-state actors.

The agreement comes following the ongoing hostilities.

According to the Lebanese health ministry, Hezbollah reported targeting Israeli troops, while Israeli strikes killed at least ten people in southern Lebanon, including four Syrians, two Palestinians, and three paramedics.

Meanwhile, a few hours after the announcement, northern Israel sounded air raid alarms after identifying a suspicious aerial target, though no casualties were reported.

The Israeli military said it intercepted a hostile aircraft and two projectiles crossing from Lebanon.

Hezbollah, in turn, claimed it had fired rockets and deployed drones targeting Israeli positions in southern Lebanon, including near Chqif Castle and the town of Al-Qantara, stating that the attacks were in response to Israeli violations.

The talks in Washington were the fourth round of direct diplomacy since March 2, when Hezbollah renewed attacks on Israel in support of Iran.

The Federal Government has received the report of an independent investigative panel set up to examine allegations of corruption, abuse of power, torture and other forms of misconduct within the Nigerian Correctional Service.

The development was disclosed by the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in a statement posted on his official page.

According to the minister, the panel, chaired by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani, concluded its assignment after 18 months of investigation following its inauguration in November 2024.

Tunji-Ojo said the findings of the panel would serve as a guide for reforms aimed at improving correctional facilities across the country.

“The findings will serve as a strong foundation for transforming our correctional facilities from mere places of incarceration into true centres of rehabilitation, reformation, restoration and reintegration,” he stated.

The minister also highlighted ongoing rehabilitation programmes within correctional centres, noting that the number of inmates who returned to custody after release had reduced significantly in recent years.

According to him, the number of recorded cases of recidivism dropped from 11,616 inmates in 2023 to 1,382 inmates in 2025.

He further disclosed that 62 inmates are currently pursuing postgraduate studies, while 261 are enrolled in undergraduate programmes. He added that 1,125 inmates are engaged in ongoing educational studies, while 9,582 others are participating in vocational and skills acquisition programmes.

“As a government, we are committed to ensuring that no Nigerian, whether free or in custody, is left behind,” the minister said.

Tunji-Ojo stated that the government would move towards implementing the panel’s recommendations through monitoring and evaluation frameworks designed to strengthen correctional administration.

“Our goal is clear. Never again should our correctional centres be associated with dehumanisation, corruption, or discrimination,” he added.
