Presidency Rules Out Betta Edu’s Return to Tinubu’s Cabinet
The Presidency has confirmed that former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Betta Edu, will not be returning to President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet. Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga made the announcement on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday, October 27, 2024.
Edu was suspended by President Tinubu in January following public outrage over an alleged ₦585 million scandal. The president subsequently ordered an in-depth investigation into the alleged fraud within her ministry, vowing to take firm action against any individuals found guilty of misconduct.
Onanuga clarified that Edu’s position has now been permanently filled by Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, a former governorship candidate from Plateau State. He stated, “Betta Edu is gone. Her position has been taken over by someone else — that’s the man from Plateau, who is now assuming the role. For this government, there is no place for her in the cabinet.”
This decision underscores the administration’s commitment to accountability in response to national concerns over alleged financial mismanagement
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
