Verydarkman Urges State of Emergency and Fuel Price Cut Amid Escalating FCT Protests
Capital Territory (FCT). As demonstrations grow increasingly intense and disruptive, concerns are mounting about the potential for further violence and instability.
The situation has prompted urgent calls for a decisive response from the highest levels of government. Verydarkman has called on the President to take immediate action by declaring a state of emergency.
This step, he argues, is crucial for regaining control and ensuring the safety and security of the citizens affected by the unrest.
By invoking emergency powers, the government would be able to implement measures more swiftly and effectively to address the crisis.
In addition to declaring a state of emergency, Verydarkman recommends that the President convene a high-level meeting with the service chiefs.
This meeting would be an opportunity to evaluate the current situation, develop a coordinated response strategy, and deploy resources where they are most needed.
The collaboration of security forces and other relevant authorities is deemed essential for restoring order and preventing further escalation.
Another critical aspect of the response proposed by Verydarkman is addressing the economic grievances that may be contributing to the unrest.
To alleviate some of the public discontent, he suggests reducing fuel prices to N150.
This measure, he believes, could help ease the financial burden on the average citizen and potentially reduce the level of frustration fueling the protests.
By lowering fuel costs, the government could provide immediate relief to the populace and help stabilize the broader economic environment.
Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia has assured that the state is ready to handle any potential flooding from the release of water from Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam. After meeting with President Bola Tinubu, Alia stressed that while they hope the flood won’t happen, they are well-prepared. He noted that the state is focusing on prevention, such as river dredging, and is actively informing residents about flood risks.
The upcoming release of water from the dam has raised concerns, especially after recent severe floods in Borno State. Alia emphasized that his administration is taking proactive steps and is working with emergency teams to manage any challenges. He also defended the transparency of his local government nominations, encouraging candidates to accept the outcomes of the October 5 elections.
The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) has alerted Nigerians residing in flood-prone areas to relocate, following the release of water from Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam into River Niger and River Benue.
The release, which began on September 18, 2024, poses flood risks to 11 states, including Adamawa, Kogi, Benue, and Bayelsa.
NIHSA urges individuals to clear drainages and avoid floodplains. This comes days after severe flooding in Borno killed over 30 people.
Israel admitted to initiating a “new era” of war after two consecutive days of explosive attacks targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon.
On Tuesday, pager explosions killed several, including children, and wounded over 2,800. A second wave on Wednesday, involving walkie-talkies and phones, killed at least 20 and injured 450.
One explosion occurred during a Hezbollah funeral, with reports suggesting Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit was heavily impacted. Israel believes the death toll is higher than officially reported.
