The xenophobic attacks in South Africa have claimed lives, displaced families, and exposed just how quickly Nigerian solidarity evaporates under pressure. We rage, we tweet, we move on and the cycle repeats.

This isn’t just about South Africa because it shows a pattern we keep refusing to name.

A new development has emerged in the abduction of pupils and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, with reports indicating that the kidnappers are demanding a ₦1 billion ransom and the implementation of Sharia law as conditions for the victims’ release.

According to reports, the abductors have also demanded two Hilux vehicles, food supplies, and the release of individuals allegedly linked to their network who are being held in detention facilities in Oyo State.

The ransom is reportedly to be paid into a bank account in neighbouring Benin Republic.

The victims were abducted after armed men attacked schools in Oriire LGA, sparking renewed concerns over insecurity and school safety in the state. Families of those still in captivity have continued to appeal for urgent intervention, expressing fears for the safety and wellbeing of their loved ones.

Nigerian food delivery platform Chowdeck has introduced a new Vendor Badges system and strengthened its vendor verification process following concerns over how businesses are onboarded.

The move comes after an investigation revealed that a fake restaurant was successfully registered on the platform using fabricated business details, including a false address, fake tax information, and images taken from an existing Lagos restaurant. The listing was reportedly approved and even fulfilled an order, raising questions about the company’s initial verification system.

Chowdeck said the new measures are aimed at improving transparency and rebuilding user trust as Nigeria’s online food delivery market continues to grow.

A Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced four men to death by hanging for their roles in the 2022 attack on St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State.

The convicts — Idris Abdulmalik Omeiza, 25; Al Qasim Idris, 20; Jamiu Abdulmalik, 26; and Abdulhaleem Idris, 25 — were found guilty of terrorism-related offences, including participating in the planning and ex*****on of the attack that killed more than 40 worshippers and injured about 141 others.

Delivering judgment, Justice Emeka Nwite held that the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, convicting the defendants on nine counts. The court also imposed life imprisonment on one count and 20-year prison terms on two others before issuing death sentences on multiple charges.

A fifth defendant, Momoh Otuho Abubakar, was discharged and acquitted.

Chowdeck has introduced a new vendor verification badge system aimed at improving trust and transparency on its platform, following recent concerns over fake and unverified restaurant listings.

This comes after a report and allegations involving non-existent restaurants raising concerns about vendor verification, food safety, and accountability within Nigeria’s growing food delivery industry.

According to Chowdeck, the new badges will help users easily identify verified vendors, giving customers greater confidence in the authenticity of the restaurants they order from. The company says the initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen quality control, improve customer experience, and maintain trust among its growing user base.

The verdict marks a significant development in the long-running quest for justice for the victims and their families, nearly four years after the tragedy.
