IBBU Lapai Student Stabbed to Death During Robbery Near Campus
The Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University (IBBU), Lapai, was thrown into mourning after an undergraduate was stabbed to death during a robbery near the campus in Niger State.
The incident happened in the early hours of Monday when armed men stormed a student lodge in the Ndakatabu area, just outside the school gate. The victim, identified by fellow students as Jafar, a 200-level Education student, was attacked and stabbed in the neck. He was rushed to the General Hospital in Lapai but sadly did not survive.
News of his death spread quickly across the university community, leading to protests by students who blocked the busy Agaie–Lapai highway. They demanded justice for their colleague and called for stronger security both within and around the school environment.
“We can’t keep living in fear every night,” one angry student said. “The government and school authorities must act before more lives are lost.”
The Niger State Police Command confirmed the incident, with Commissioner of Police Adamu Elleman ordering a full investigation and a manhunt for the attackers. Police spokesman Wasiu Abiodun said tactical teams had been deployed and assured students that those behind the crime would be caught.

Peter Obi Raises Concerns Over Nigeria’s Hunger Index Ranking
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.

“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”

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.”
