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 ...

 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...

By Hotgist9ja News Desk | Breaking News | Nigeria Photo Credit: Punch Newspaper The Ozoro festival story just took a major new turn — and it is one that is going to divide Nigerians opinion all over again. When videos of women being stripped, chased and assaulted during the Alue-Do festival in Ozoro, Delta State went viral last week, the narrative was clear and the outrage was immediate. Social media erupted. Rights groups condemned it. Lawyers called for arrests. Nigerians demanded justice. The hashtag #StopRapingWomen trended for hours. Now the Delta State Police Command has stepped forward with a statement that complicates the picture significantly — and raises questions that neither side of the debate is going to find easy to answer. Police spokesperson SP Bright Edafe appeared on Channels Television's The Morning Brief on Monday morning and said something that stopped many Nigerians mid-scroll, SP Bright said: none of the four victims interviewed by the police...

By Hotgist9ja Entertainment Desk Photo Credit: Guinness World Records When people talk about Nigerian talent, they usually mean music. They mean Burna Boy selling out arenas. They mean Wizkid conquering Apple Music. They mean Davido breaking streaming records. But sometimes — every now and then — a story comes out of Nigeria that has nothing to do with music and everything to do with the sheer, breathtaking, impossible-to-ignore brilliance that this country produces in almost every field it turns its attention to. This is one of those stories. Meet Chinonso Eche. A young man from Warri, Delta State. A football freestyler. A holder of not one, not two, but five Guinness World Records. And the boy who recently walked onto the stage of Italy's premier records television show — Lo Show Dei Record — and left the audience completely speechless. Nigeria, we need to talk about this young man. Because not enough people know his name. And that needs to change. 🇳🇬 Who...

By Hotgist9ja News Desk Okay so this one hit different. Videos started surfacing on Nigerian social media — and people couldn't believe their eyes. Young women being chased down the street. Clothes being torn off their bodies. Mobs of young men laughing, celebrating, filming. One lady on a motorcycle dragged to the ground. Another woman running for her life as her dress was ripped off her. Another victim screaming, trying to shield herself from a crowd. This was not a movie. This was not a rumour. This happened in Ozoro , headquarters of Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State — in broad daylight, during what was supposed to be a community festival called Oramudu — and Nigeria has not recovered from the shock since. The videos went viral. The hashtags started trending. The outrage exploded. And by the time the dust began to settle, five people — including the festival organiser himself — had been arrested by the Delta State Police Command. But the bigger c...
