<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Former Vice‑President Atiku Abubakar has responded sharply to criticism from the Lagos chapter of the APC, urging them not to fixate on his recent move to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), but rather to scrutinise the true age and identity of their own leader. He described the Lagos APC’s remarks as “hollow, ill‑considered” — labelling them hypocritical and intellectually lazy.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">In a statement, Atiku’s media team said his political and personal history — including age, parentage and education — are fully on record and transparent, which sets him “miles ahead” of those whose records remain unclear.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">He argued that the focus should instead be on issues like Nigeria’s struggling economy and rising insecurity, rather than “attacks” on his character or political choices. According to Atiku, his decision to work with ADC stems from conviction and a desire for national rebuilding — not desperation.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Gunmen suspected to be bandits stormed Gidan‑Bijimi village in the Kawu ward of the Bwari Area Council, FCT, Abuja, on Wednesday night, kidnapping seven residents — six girls and a 16-year-old boy.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">According to local sources, the armed attackers entered two houses at around 9:53 pm, opened fire, then abducted their victims. Panicked villagers reportedly fled into the bush for safety as neighbours tried but failed to confront the heavily armed group.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The attack has sent shockwaves through Gidan‑Bijimi and surrounding communities, many of whom have begun relocating in fear of further violence.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">This incident comes just hours after the government declared a nationwide security emergency — underscoring the depth and urgency of Nigeria’s security crisis.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Inspector‑General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun has announced a formal investigation into the recent confrontation between Nyesom Wike — the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory — and officers of the Nigerian Navy, following a land‑dispute in Abuja. Egbetokun said he was not present during the incident, but has ordered that police examine the matter thoroughly and promised the findings will be made public.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">According to reports, the clash occurred when Wike and land‑control officials attempted to access a plot said to belong to a former navy chief — a move that was blocked by naval personnel. The stand‑off escalated, and the exchange between the minister and the officers was captured on video, sparking nationwide debate over civil‑military boundaries and land‑use law.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The IGP’s decision to probe is seen as a bid to restore order and clarify chain‑of‑command issues, while reinforcing that irrespective of rank or background, adherence to law and institutional process remains mandatory.</span></p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400">A woman lost her life after gunmen opened fire on a convoy belonging to a former Anambra State governor as she attempted to record the assault with her phone. The attack happened along Nkpor–Nnobi Road in Idemili North Local Government Area.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The assailants, believed to be disguised in police or military uniforms, also shot a policeman in the pilot car — seizing his weapon — and wounded a shop owner who rushed to the scene. Both have since undergone treatment, and the police say a manhunt for the attackers is underway.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Authorities have confirmed the tragic death, offering condolences to the woman’s family and declaring intent to bring the perpetrators to justice. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The former president touched down in Nigeria this evening — his arrival captured in a post shared on Nairaland — igniting renewed chatter online about what his visit might signal for the nation’s political future.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Some on the forum speculated his homecoming could be connected to the ongoing calls for a political comeback ahead of the 2027 elections. Others wondered whether his return is linked to recent developments with the People's Democratic Party (PDP).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">A section of users also expressed hope his re-entry could reinvigorate national politics — though many remain sceptical, recalling the controversies that marked his tenure.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">He was criticised by some netizens, with one writing:</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">&gt; “He sold a house that would have worth 150m in 3 to 5 years for 60m to relocate to UK of all places.” </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Others defended his choice, pointing to reasons such as insecurity, inflation and worsening living conditions in Nigeria as justification for the move abroad. </span></p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400">According to an online report, operatives of the DSS have detained all CJTF members involved in the shooting death of a 60‑year‑old man, Alhaji Ibrahim Nagode — the father of a known bandit leader — in the Malumfashi area of Katsina State. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The incident reportedly occurred amid heightened security alerts and operations intended to prevent regrouping by suspected bandits — but escalated when the elder Nagode was shot during the patrol. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The arrests signal the government’s effort to ensure accountability for security‑force conduct while the region braces for possible backlash as tensions rise. </span></p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400">According to a post on the forum Nairaland, a trailer truck travelling on ABU Road in Zaria reportedly “spilled a sack of bullets” opposite Everyday Restaurant in Dogon Ice, Samaru. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Eyewitnesses say residents and passers‑by scrambled to collect the scattered ammunition — raising serious questions about who was transporting the bullets, whether the transport was licensed, and what their intended destination was. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Many fear the occurrence could be tied to the widespread insecurity affecting northern Nigeria, including banditry and kidnappings, and are calling for urgent investigation by security authorities. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">As of now, there’s no official confirmation from the police or army about the incident or the fate of the ammunition. <br /><br /><br /></span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Designers across Nigeria keep reinventing lace, blending tradition with fresh trends to create a variety of looks — gowns, straight‑fit dresses, mermaid cuts, mini‑skirts, maxi dresses, jumpsuits and more. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Some of the standout lace‑work includes: flowing gowns for mature or formal settings; body‑hugging mermaid dresses perfect for evening events; straight‑fit lace dresses for a modest yet stylish vibe; mini or hip‑high lace dresses for youthful, casual outings; and combinations with bold colours like emerald‑green, wine, mustard yellow or soft pastels. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">For traditional occasions, weddings or ceremonies, elaborate lace designs with bell sleeves, off‑shoulder cuts, cascading hems, ruffles or wrapper‑style cuts remain go‑tos. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Some fashion‑savvy women also experiment by combining lace with other fabrics (like Ankara), or opting for lace jumpsuits and high‑low layered dresses — blending heritage with contemporary flair. </span></p>
