Some angry Nigerians have taken to the streets in Abuja to protest over two bullion vans spotted at Bola Tinubu residence in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial city. AMP recalls that an image of two bullion vans heading into Tinubu’s Bourdillon residence surfaced online prior to the 2019 general elections. Tinubu’s Bourdillon residence is in Ikoyi, Lagos state. Reacting to the development at the time, Tinubu, who is the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party, had said he was neither a government contractor nor a worker with any government parastatal and that there was no iota of truth in the allegation that he had bullion vans in his house distributing money. Tinubu had said: “I am not a government contractor, and I don’t have bullion vans because I don’t store ballot papers. If I may ask, where am I voting now? This is not my house. I don’t work with any government agencies and let anybody come out to say that I have taken contracts from the governme...

The Federal Ministry of Education has said Nigerian secondary final year students will not be participating in the upcoming West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations. The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, who disclosed this to State House Correspondents on Wednesday after the seventh weekly virtual Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, also said there is no date for resumption of schools in the country yet. He said he would prefer that Nigerian students lose an academic year than to expose them to dangers, appealing to state governments that had announced reopening of schools to reconsider their decision for the sake of the students’ safety. Speaking on the effect the decision to keep schools closed could have on final year secondary school students, due to write the WAEC, Adamu said Nigeria would not open the schools yet, not even for the WAEC, which is a regionally control programme. He, however debunked an earlier report, which claimed that the Minister of Sta...

The missile-armed USS Michigan is set to join an incoming group of warships led by aircraft carrier Carl Vinson. North Korea is celebrating its army's 85th founding anniversary on Tuesday. It marked the event with a large-scale firing drill, South Korea said. Tensions have risen in the area in recent weeks, with the US and North Korea exchanging heated rhetoric. Experts fear Pyongyang could be planning more tests - it has marked some key anniversaries in the past with nuclear tests or missile launches. However, South Korea's defence ministry said "no unusual development had been detected". Instead, the North conducted a large live-fire drill around the city of Wonsan, South Korea said.

The first civilian governor of Osun and serving senator, Isiaka Adeleke, is dead. He died in the early hours of Sunday at a private hospital in Osogbo after succumbing to a protracted ailment. Adeleke was 62. At the residence of the former governor in Ede, the atmosphere was tense as his corpse was brought in at about 1:10 p.m, preparatory to the Islamic burial rites at 4pm. A crowd of sympathisers and family members were seen weeping uncontrollably on sighting the corpse of the late flamboyant politician and socialite. A two-term senator, Adeleke had won the Osun West senatorial seat on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in 2007. He, however, defected from the PDP in the build up to the 2015 general elections and had won again on the platform of the All Progressives Congress. SOURCE: PUNCH

Minister,  seems to understand President Muhammadu Buhari’ mindset as far as fighting graft is concerned and is effectively broaching measures that have warmed the President’s heart.
