Edo Govt Demolishes Properties Linked to Cultism in Uromi
…15 Arrested With Illicit Drugs in Separate Raid

The Edo State Government has begun demolishing properties allegedly linked to cult activities in Uromi, Esan North-East Local Government Area, as part of intensified efforts to curb kidnapping, cultism and other criminal acts across the state.

The action followed a major security raid on 17 November 2025 by the State’s Special Security Squad, conducted in collaboration with the Nigerian Army and other security agencies. During that operation, 31 suspects were arrested at various hideouts, while leaders of the Black Axe and Eiye confraternities—accused of orchestrating the violent clash in Uromi on 16 November—were given a seven-day ultimatum to surrender.

With the ultimatum expired and no compliance from the wanted cult leaders, the government moved to pull down buildings where officials said incriminating evidence had been uncovered. Authorities described the demolition as a clear signal of the administration’s resolve to stamp out criminality.

The operation was led by the Principal Security Officer to Governor Monday Okpebholo, supported by the Divisional Police Officer in Uromi, local vigilante groups, the Esan North-East Anti-Kidnapping Committee and personnel of the Nigerian Army.

Idemudia Noah, coordinator of the security outfit codenamed Operation Flush Out Kidnapping and Cultism, said the demolition became necessary after the suspects failed to take advantage of both the ultimatum and an extended grace period.

“This demolition exercise should serve as a warning to landlords and property owners in Uromi to properly profile their tenants. These houses were demolished because incriminating evidence was found in them,” he said.

According to him, the affected properties will now be taken over by the Edo State Government for use as operational bases.

Noah reaffirmed the commitment of the Okpebholo administration to eliminating cultism, kidnapping and all forms of criminality. “We are serious about this exercise. We want Edo State to be crime-free. No one is above the law,” he stated.

In a separate operation based on credible intelligence, the squad raided the Hausa quarters in Uromi, arresting 15 persons after illicit drugs were discovered in their possession. The suspects have been transferred to the Uromi Divisional Headquarters for profiling, further investigation and eventual prosecution.

Noah explained that drug peddling in the area had become a magnet for hoodlums, cultists and kidnappers. “We received information from our colleagues in Uromi on the ongoing illicit drug trade, which promotes nefarious activities. We swung into action and arrested both sellers and buyers,” he said.

One of the arrested suspects, a ma*****na dealer identified as Tajudeen Lawal, admitted to selling drugs alongside two others in the Hausa quarters.

"The Filtered Reality: How Social Media Impacts Student Self-Esteem".

By Fauziyyah Muhammad Hadi

Living in a world full of curated posts and perfect snapshots can be tough especially for students. Every day, we scroll through images of peers flaunting achievements, travels, and ideal relationships. It’s easy to feel left behind, even when we know the “perfection” is filtered.

Why Social Media Hits Confidence Hard

Social media encourages comparison. Students often measure themselves against the highlight reels of others, creating feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. The constant need for likes and validation can lead to anxiety, FOMO, and even depression.
Even when we understand logically that social media shows only the best moments, emotionally it’s hard not to compare ourselves.

The Hidden Toll

For many students, this comparison game becomes a daily struggle:
Obsessively checking likes and comments to validate self-worth
Spending hours editing photos to meet impossible beauty standards
Feeling excluded when friends post photos from events they weren’t invited to
Over time, these habits chip away at confidence and mental wellbeing.

Breaking Free

Regaining control over social media is possible. Students can:
1. Curate Your Feed – Follow accounts that inspire, not trigger insecurity. Unfollow negativity.
2. Limit Screen Time – Track usage with apps like Screen Time or Digital Wellbeing.
3. Focus on Reality – Spend time with people who value you offline.
4. Practice Gratitude – Write down three things you’re proud of each day.

The Takeaway

Social media isn’t inherently bad it’s how we let it influence us that matters. True confidence comes from embracing your unedited, authentic self. Next time you feel left behind scrolling, remember: what you see online is only a filtered reality.

"The Economics of Campus Hustle: How Student Vendors Power University Life".

By Fauziyyah Muhammad Hadi

On Nigerian campuses, vending is no longer just a side activity it has become a central part of student life. From snacks and fashion to cosmetics and phone accessories, students are not only earning but building small businesses that sustain both themselves and their peers.
Rising living costs and limited financial support from home have turned vending into a necessity. At Bayero University Kano (BUK), student vendors play a crucial role in the campus economy. Sally, a wares vendor, explains:

“WhatsApp lets me post products and chat directly with buyers, Instagram helps me attract customers with pictures, and TikTok makes my items stand out.”

Vending benefits the campus community beyond profit. Students like Nafisah, a regular customer, find peer-sellers more affordable and convenient:

“I buy most of my things from student vendors because their prices are fair and it saves me transport fare.”

Yet, running a business while studying is no easy feat. Students struggle with balancing classes and customer orders, especially during exams. Rasheeda, a fashion designer, shares:

“I weigh the pros and cons. If it’s a regular class, I attend to my business, but during tests or exams, I focus more on my studies.”

Competition is another challenge. As more students enter the vending space, vendors must stand out through pricing, packaging, and customer service. Sally adds:

“Competition is normal, but I focus on good service and quality products. Customers trust me and keep coming back.”

Despite these hurdles, campus vending teaches practical life skills: financial discipline, negotiation, customer relations, and resilience. Some student ventures even grow into formal businesses after graduation, offering a path to entrepreneurship in a country with high youth unemployment.
Campus vending is more than trade; it is a testament to survival, solidarity, and determination. For students navigating academic pressures and financial uncertainty, the hustle is not just a means to earn it is a way to thrive.
