Wike Vows Severe Punishment for Electricity Vandals in Abuja
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has issued a stern warning to electricity vandals in Abuja, urging them to stop their criminal activities.
In a media chat on Sunday evening, Wike expressed his anger over the destruction and theft of transmission cables, which led to widespread power outages across the city. He vowed that those responsible would face severe consequences.
The Minister confirmed that several suspects have been apprehended in connection with the vandalism. However, he made it clear that the charges would not simply be theft, but economic sabotage.
“These vandals have caused more than 60% of Abuja to be plunged into darkness. This is pure sabotage.
Thankfully, our security agencies are fully on top of this,” Wike said. “Those involved will face the full weight of the law, and we will ensure they stay in litigation until convicted.
We won’t settle for theft charges. We’re going after them for economic sabotage.”

Isaac Fayose Criticizes Government Over Taxation and Insecurity
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
