Supreme Court Restores David Mark As ADC Chairman, Voids Status Quo Order As Obidients Warn "It Is Peter Obi Or Nothing" Ahead Of 2027

By -

  A ruling from Nigeria’s highest court has shaken up opposition politics as the 2027 vote draws closer. One after another, judges agreed - five of them, headed by Justice Mohammed Lawal Garba - wiping away an earlier appeal court instruction that froze things inside the African Democratic Congress. That old order had locked leadership in place, blocked David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola from being listed by INEC, then tangled the party’s primary elections in uncertainty. Now, movement returns. David Mark sits again as national chairman under ADC banners. Primaries are allowed once more. Recognition by INEC follows where the top court points. Now comes a chance for the alliance forming behind Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, clearer than any moment since the ADC conflict started. Yet inside today’s court ruling lies something subtle - something every follower of Obi, each critic of the current power, needs to grasp fully. Victory at the Supreme Court fixes one fight, but another str...

NPF Just in seventy-two (72)  hours following footage that spread fast online - showing a police bullet take the life of a 28-year-old in Effurun - the top police acted unlike any moment before in recent memory. Not waiting weeks, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu  gave approval: one ASP named Nuhu Usman gets fired, plus every officer tied to Mene Ogidi's unlawful death on April 26, 2026 faces court. Behind closed doors, the disciplinary panel finished their look into it. Their decision now sits with the Police Service Commission, awaiting official sign-off. Once the paperwork finishes, those fired officers go straight into court on murder charges. Not moved somewhere else. Not waiting at home. Fired they are, then charged too. Could mark real change in how Nigeria polices its police. Or maybe just looks like change, best show of justice lately. Truth comes out only when judges speak What caught attention here was how fast things moved. Usually, Nigerian police accountability drags on ...

Sowore Demands Removal Of Entire Delta Police Command After Officer Shoots Dead Unarmed 28-Year-Old Mene Ogidi In Effurun

By -

 One moment it was just another day in Effurun. Then gunfire cracked across the street. A man named Mene Ogidi, twenty-eight years old, fell lifeless near a market stall. No weapon found on him. What followed came fast - phone cameras rolling, clips spreading online, anger building block by block. Officers watched too. So did neighbors. Nobody stepped in before the shot rang out. Later came names: the shooter identified as ASP Nuhu Usman, leading a local squad under Delta State command. His actions caught frame by frame under harsh sunlight. Not shadows. Not rumors. Clear visuals. Enough for officials to call it what it was - execution outside legal process. Reaction arrived swiftly. Authorities took Usman into custody within days. Moved him far north, straight to federal grounds in Abuja. Charges loom ahead. Internal reviews now underway. Public trust rattled but demanding answers still. For activist and former candidate Omoyele Sowore, just arresting one officer falls short. On X...

Gunfire broke out between him and federal officers; he fell before making it inside. An agent took a hit but had protective gear on - recovery likely. Neither the President nor the First Lady suffered harm. Later tonight, plans changed. Still, across the United States, people face another moment of reckoning - each time shaking trust further after a third attempt on the leader’s life within twenty-four months Huddled under chandeliers, reporters mixed with politicians inside the Washington Hilton. Not every ...

Netanyahu Reveals He Was Secretly Treated for Prostate Cancer — Hid Diagnosis During Height of Iran War

By -

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu  Friday morning, April 24, 2026, brought something few expected. Silence broke when Netanyahu spoke - after months of hiding what doctors found. Prostate cancer showed up in tests, though nobody outside inner circles knew at the time. Radiation followed, then healing, all done quietly, far from headlines. Only once cleared did he say anything, choosing that day to release details. His office issued the yearly health summary right as he posted online. X became the place where leaders now speak directly - no intermediaries, no delays. He wrote it plainly: dates, steps taken, how long it lasted, outcome included. No briefing room, no cameras rolling live, just text appearing mid-morning. A single update spread fast, backed by an official file dropped at the same hour. Control mattered more than speed; timing looked planned down to minutes. The way it unfolded revealed habit - not panic, but calculation. Medical facts shared, yes - but framed en...

MTN Begins Airtime Compensation to Subscribers Over Poor Service — Here Is Everything You Need to Know

By -
Image
Punch  MTN started sharing data and airtime around Nigeria.These weren’t ads or alerts about data bundles expiring. Instead, they said accounts had been topped up with credit. Not because someone won a prize. Not due to some flashy campaign. Because regulators stepped in after too many broken promises. For months, voices faded mid-sentence on calls. Internet crawls replaced speeds promised in fine print. Payments vanished into digital silence during crucial moments. Frustration built until it simmered in every pocket where phones sat useless near waterways. Then came this moment - one carrier finally answered differently. MTN Nigeria initiated refunds disguised as airtime credits. No fanfare. Just recognition that service fell short for far too long. This time, profits didn’t overshadow people struggling daily just to connect. The headlines could have repeated old patterns. They did not. A different narrative crept in through tiny screens nationwide Someone didn’t just decide to pa...

  Photo Credit: Punch  APC adjusts dates for president and state hopefuls under a new plan tied to 2027 votes. Though meant to steady the process, timing shifts ripple through candidate plans without clear pause. Fresh off the gathering in Abuja, Duro Mesoko - party deputy in charge of publicity - shared updates Thursday following the 186th National Working Committee session. Now set for May 23, 2026, the presidential primary moves from its original May 15 and 16 plan. Slotted two days earlier, the governorship contests take place on May 21 that year. Meseko said changes were needed so the party's plans would match the new schedule from the electoral body. That update came after officials set a window - April 23 to May 30, 2026 - for all parties to hold candidate selections. “We now have a new revised timetable in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), the Electoral Act 2026, and the INEC revised timetable for the 2027 general e...
