SENATOR DENOUNCES PLATEAU KILLINGS, CALLS ON NATIONAL ASSEMBLY TO TAKE ACTION

Senator representing Plateau North, Pam Dachungyang, has condemned the recent killings in some parts of his constituency, particularly in Jol, Rim, and Jebu villages, by gunmen.

The senator described the attacks, which have claimed over 30 lives, as “an indictment on all of us” and called for urgent action to stop the violence.

In a statement on Tuesday by his media aide, Eric Dung, the Senator noted that the situation in Jebu village is akin to a war situation, with innocent villagers being targeted.

He expressed concern that the attacks are affecting the livelihoods of the people, particularly farmers, and urged the National Assembly to take practical steps to address the issue.

The present happening, especially in Jebu last night, is like a war situation and stands to be condemned by all. Our people, whose main preoccupation is farming, are being affected, and this will certainly affect their livelihood”, the senator said.

He said he had reached out to the leadership of the National Assembly, pushing for a practical approach to dislodge the terrorists from the state once and for all.

Dachungyang also emphasised the need to reinvigorate the present security architecture in the state, particularly the Special Military Taskforce structure, to guarantee the security of lives and property.

He condoled with those who lost loved ones in the attacks and called for collective action to bring the perpetrators to justice.

OLUBADAN SUCCESSION: LADOJA POSTPONES RETURN UNTIL OLAKULEHIN’S MOURNING ENDS

The Olubadan-designate, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has postponed his return to Ibadan, Oyo State, until July 28, following the 21-day mourning period for the late Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin.

Oba Olakulehin, the 43rd Olubadan, died on Monday, July 7, after a brief illness at a private hospital in Jericho, Ibadan. In line with longstanding Ibadan tradition, a 21-day mourning period began on Tuesday, July 8.

A palace source told journalists on Sunday that Ladoja opted to remain away out of respect for the late monarch, emphasizing the need to mourn before any form of celebration.

“He believes if he’s around, it may trigger premature celebrations, which would be inappropriate during this time of mourning,” the source said. “He wants to honour the departed Olubadan fully before making his presence felt.”

In the interim, Ladoja has instructed the Ekerin Olubadan, Oba Amidu Ajibade, and the Ekerin Balogun, Akeem Adewoyin, to reopen the Olubadan Palace at Oke-Aremo to receive mourners on his behalf.

When contacted, Ladoja’s media aide, Adeola Oloko, said he was unaware of the specific date of the Olubadan-designate’s return.

SHETTIMA, GBAJABIAMILA LAND IN LONDON TO RECEIVE BUHARI’S REMAINS

Vice President Kashim Shettima and President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, arrived in London on Monday to receive the body of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away on Sunday, July 13, 2025.

The duo is leading a Nigerian delegation following President Tinubu’s directive for a dignified repatriation and burial of his predecessor. The delegation was received in the UK by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar; Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum; and other officials.

Buhari died in a London hospital at about 4:30 p.m. on Sunday after a prolonged illness. Although the exact nature of the illness was undisclosed, the former president had battled health issues since 2017, when he spent months receiving treatment in the UK.

Just last week, his spokesman, Garba Shehu, stated that Buhari was in "recovery mode" and doing better, though still hospitalised. “Each day, he gets better,” Shehu had said, noting that Buhari remained active, health-conscious, and strong at 82.
President Tinubu has ordered all national flags to fly at half-staff in mourning and expressed his condolences to the Buhari family and Nigerians at large.

Tributes have continued to pour in from across the nation, with many remembering Buhari who ruled Nigeria as military head of state from 1984 to 1985 and later served as a two-term civilian president as a man of integrity and unwavering discipline.
