Governor Dikko Radda says over 90% of bandits operating in Katsina are not outsiders but locals known to their communities.

“They are our people. We know their parents and where they come from,” he said on Tuesday.

The governor stressed that tackling insecurity requires involving locals. He said the state created a security outfit with youths from affected areas to help track informants and guide operations.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to send more weapons to Ukraine, drawing criticism from Russia.

Trump said Ukraine is “getting hit very hard” and needs defensive support. The pledge came days after Washington paused some aid shipments, causing concern in Kyiv.

The Kremlin warned the move would only prolong the war. Meanwhile, Russia claimed fresh gains in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region, as intense battles continue.

President Zelensky urged allies to fulfill their promises, saying air defence remains Ukraine’s top priority.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has pegged 150 as the minimum score for gaining admission into universities for the 2024/2025 academic session.

The new cut-off was announced on Tuesday during JAMB’s policy meeting in Abuja, led by the board’s Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede.

For other institutions, colleges of nursing now have a minimum cut-off of 140, while polytechnics and colleges of education remain at 100.

JAMB said the cut-off points were agreed upon by heads of tertiary institutions across the country and must be followed strictly.

The Federal Government has fixed 16 years as the minimum age for admission into Nigerian universities and other tertiary institutions.

Education Minister, Dr. Tunji Alausa, announced this on Tuesday during JAMB’s 2025 policy meeting in Abuja, warning that the rule is non-negotiable.

He said institutions must also use JAMB’s CAPS platform for all admissions, stressing that any process outside it is illegal.

Heads of schools found admitting underage candidates or bypassing CAPS risk facing sanctions, he added.

More than 100 people, including 27 girls and their counsellors, have died in devastating floods in Texas following days of heavy rain.

The worst-hit area was Kerr County, where the Guadalupe River rose rapidly, sweeping through homes and a summer camp. The river surged over 26 feet in less than an hour.

Rescue teams are still searching for the missing, with more rain expected. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has declared a state of emergency, while President Trump plans to visit the affected areas on Friday.

The disaster has sparked calls for better warning systems, especially in flood-prone areas like “Flash Flood Alley.” Experts say climate change is making extreme weather like this more frequent and deadly.

Supporters of the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, and the 16th Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II, clashed on Sunday at the Kofar Kudu Palace.

The unrest reportedly began when Bayero’s convoy passed near the palace. The gate was broken, guards injured, and police vehicles vandalised. Emir Sanusi was said to be away at the time.

A statement by Sanusi’s camp accused Bayero’s supporters of “unleashing mayhem,” while a member of Bayero’s entourage claimed they were attacked by hoodlums blocking the road.

The Kano police confirmed the incident and said investigations are ongoing.

Residents have voiced concern, calling on both camps to allow the courts to decide and avoid actions that could threaten Kano’s peace.

At least 70 vigilantes were feared dead after suspected bandits ambushed their team in Wase LGA of Plateau State on Sunday.

Locals said the vigilantes, drawn from Plateau and Taraba, entered the forest to confront armed gangs but were overwhelmed. Over 60 bodies were reportedly buried in Kukawa community.

A resident alleged the vigilantes had earlier raided homes, seized motorcycles, and accused villagers of harbouring criminals. Minutes after heading into the forest, gunfire erupted, and many were seen retreating.

Security agencies have yet to comment. A retired police officer, Bulus Ajiji, said the vigilantes lacked proper training and should not have gone alone. Civil rights activist Steve Aluko called on the government to support local security efforts to tackle banditry effectively.

A suspected diphtheria outbreak has killed four children and left five others infected in Kwarbai, Zaria City, Kaduna State.

A resident, Mallam Bashir Magaji Basharata, said he lost his daughter to the illness, and three of his other children are showing similar symptoms. “She had a swollen neck, couldn’t breathe or speak. We rushed her to ABU Teaching Hospital, but she didn’t make it,” he said.

Basharata added that other infected children have been taken to Kakaki Primary Health Centre in a nearby community.

Dr. Bello Jamoh, Executive Secretary of the Kaduna State Primary Healthcare Board, said Kaduna has been battling diphtheria for 10 months. Though unaware of this specific case, he promised to dispatch a response team immediately.

FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, says President Bola Tinubu is transforming Abuja into a capital city Nigerians can be proud of.

Speaking during a thanksgiving service in Abuja, Wike said the FCT had been stagnant before Tinubu’s intervention. “Before now, nothing was moving,” he said. “But Mr. President gave a clear directive to make Abuja reflect its status.”

He noted that while Abuja isn't fully transformed yet, visible progress is being made. “You can see the steps being taken to put the city where it should be,” he added.
