Governor Uba Sani has settled $247,235.84 (about ₦408 million) in unpaid tuition fees owed by Kaduna State-sponsored students at foreign universities.

Payments went to institutions including the Medical University of Havana ($164,010), Debrecen University (UK/Hungary) ($51,400), University of Wollongong in Dubai ($13,827), and KIU/IUIU Uganda ($17,998).

APC Defends Betta Edu’s Inclusion in 2027 Campaign Council Amid Unresolved EFCC Probe

The APC has defended former Humanitarian Affairs Minister Betta Edu’s appointment as Director of Women Mobilisation in President Tinubu’s 2027 Presidential Campaign Council, unveiled on 22 August 2026.

Edu was suspended in January 2024 over a memo directing the transfer of about ₦585 million meant for vulnerable groups into a private account. The EFCC investigated, recovered over ₦30 billion linked to the ministry, and examined dozens of accounts, but has not publicly released its final findings or charged her. She denies wrongdoing and has not been convicted.

APC Deputy National Chairman (South) described her as innocent and highlighted her grassroots networks as a campaign asset. Critics, including the ADC, called the council a “rehabilitation centre” for those with unresolved corruption questions and demanded clarity on the status of her case.

Plateau Governor Declares Hisbah Activities Illegal

Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has ordered security agencies to immediately halt the activities of a group operating as Hisbah in parts of Jos North Local Government Area, declaring them illegal, unauthorised and unacceptable.

The directive, announced on Sunday by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Dr Gyang Bere, followed reports of intimidation, harassment, extortion and the imposition of unauthorised rules on residents.

Mutfwang warned those involved to desist or face arrest and prosecution under Nigerian law. He stressed that Plateau has one Constitution, one legal system and one legitimate authority, and that no individual or group may assume powers not granted by law.

Security agencies have been directed to identify, investigate, and, where evidence exists, prosecute those involved, as well as anyone promoting, sponsoring, or aiding the activities.

The governor clarified that the order is not targeted at any religion, ethnic group or community, and that all residents remain entitled to equal protection under the law.

INEC denies replacing NDC candidates in Anambra

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has rejected claims by the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) that it removed the party’s nominated candidates for the 2027 elections and substituted them with unauthorised names in some Anambra State House of Assembly constituencies.

INEC’s Chief Press Secretary, Adedayo Oketola, said the commission has no legal power to nominate candidates or replace those validly submitted by a political party. He emphasised that candidate nomination is the exclusive responsibility of parties under the Constitution and Electoral Act.

The NDC had alleged that about nine or ten “strange names” unknown to the party appeared on INEC’s published list for Anambra constituencies.

BBNaija star Tacha (Natacha Akide) is reportedly under arrest by the Nigeria Police Force.

Movie producer Seun Oloketuyi claimed on Instagram that she was picked up early Sunday morning (30 August 2026) at her Ajah, Lagos residence after ignoring three invitations from the NPF National Cybercrime Centre (NCCC) between May and August.

The invitations are linked to a March 2026 X (Twitter) post in which she accused a man of r**e; reports say the allegation cost him brand deals and a job abroad, and police are said to have asked her to produce victims.

As of Monday morning, her manager told P.M. News he could not confirm the arrest and had been unable to reach her. Official police confirmation and full details remain pending.
