Kwam 1: Unlike Ibom Air, ValueJet Did Not Press Charges Against Fuji Singer — NCAA

The Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Mike Achimugu, has clarified the agency’s role in two recent passenger incidents, saying the authority only intervenes where necessary and within its mandate.

Speaking on Tuesday’s edition of Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, Achimugu said in the case involving Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde, better known as K1 De Ultimate.

“The airline [in the singer’s case]did not activate its right to take the passenger to court. As a result, the NCAA petitioned relevant authorities to prosecute the passenger, issuing an advisory to the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) to have the passenger banned,” Achimugu said.

However, in the Ibom Air case, where a passenger ass@ulted the airline’s staff member, he explained that the carrier immediately exercised its right to take up the matter in court.

“Maybe because their staff had been ass@ulted, the airline immediately activated its right to take up the matter, and it went to court, so the NCAA is not involved in the case of the Ibom Air passenger,” he said.

EFCC Now Operates Like A Department Of The APC, Targeting Oppositions – ADC

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of turning the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) into a political weapon against opposition politicians.

In a statement on Monday, the ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, alleged that the EFCC’s recent actions, including reopening old cases and summoning opposition members, were politically motivated.

The ADC claimed that the anti-graft agency had abandoned impartiality and now functioned like “a department of the APC, deployed to fight government critics and opposition figures.”

It also accused the EFCC of dropping investigations involving APC allies while relentlessly pursuing opposition leaders.

According to the ADC, the perceived partisanship was damaging the credibility of both the EFCC and Nigeria’s anti-corruption fight.

‘A Thousand Goodluck Jonathans Can Not Fix Nigeria’ – Farotimi

Human Rights Activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, has dismissed suggestions that former President Goodluck Jonathan could return to the political frontline, insisting that Nigeria’s problems require deep structural reforms rather than another change in leadership.

Farotimi was reacting to recent reports hinting at Jonathan’s possible re-emergence ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to him, the belief that bringing back Jonathan, or any other former leader, would solve Nigeria’s challenges is misguided.

He recalled how Jonathan was once heavily criticised and removed from office amid promises of a better Nigeria, yet the same problems persist a decade later.

The activist stressed that Nigeria’s crisis goes beyond personalities and warned that removing the current President Bola Tinubu without systemic reforms would simply perpetuate the cycle of failure.

Presidency Speaks On Tinubu’s Health Status Amidst Alleged Absence From State Functions

The Presidency has dismissed speculations about the health of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, following reports that he was bedridden and being considered for urgent medical evacuation abroad.

The International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR) had quoted sources alleging that the President had been indisposed for several days, resulting in his absence from key state functions. Vice President, Kashim Shettima has represented him at some official engagements in recent days.

The report further claimed that several of Tinubu’s scheduled activities were cancelled, with the remainder of his weekly agenda cleared to allow his medical team to closely monitor his condition.

However, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, described the claims as baseless.

“People just tell you all kinds of rumours that have no basis at all. He was in his office yesterday (August 5). I was with him. I went to see him. He came to work,” Onanuga told ICIR.

Speaking later to Daily Trust, he insisted nothing was wrong with the President.

“There is nothing wrong with the president, he is okay. He can choose to work from home. He can choose to work from anywhere. I tell you nothing is wrong with the president,” he said.
