The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has strongly condemned the recent abduction of more than 20 medical and dental students from the University of Maiduguri and the University of Jos.

The students were taken by armed assailants on Thursday evening while en route to the Federation of Catholic Medical and Dental Students (FECAMDS) annual convention in Enugu.

The kidnapping took place around 5:30 PM in the Otukpo area of Benue State. The students, along with a House Officer, were ambushed during their journey, as confirmed by the State Police Command on Friday morning.

In a statement released on Friday, NANS Senate President Okunomo Henry Adewumi expressed grave concern over the incident and demanded the immediate and unconditional release of the abducted students.

The student association has called upon security agencies to ensure that the victims are rescued safely and unharmed.

NANS denounced the abduction as a grim indication of the increasing insecurity in Nigeria, drawing parallels with recent violent events such as the abduction and killing of passengers in Ondo State and the brutal murder of a farmer by herdsmen in Oba Akoko, Ondo State.

The student body extended its deepest sympathy and support to the victims and their families, urging the government to take urgent and effective action to address these senseless acts of violence and to prevent future incidents.

The statement highlighted NANS’s commitment to advocating for the safety and well-being of Nigerian students and reminded the government of its responsibility to ensure the right to education and national security.

NANS called for several measures, including the immediate rescue of the abducted individuals, increased security presence in vulnerable regions of Benue and Ondo States, improved intelligence gathering and sharing, and enhanced protection for educational institutions, medical facilities, and local communities.

Furthermore, NANS demanded that the perpetrators of these crimes and any accomplices within security forces, educational institutions, and government agencies be prosecuted.

Oyo Group Accuses Primate Ayodele of Using Prophecies to Manipulate Politicians for Money

The Oyo State Voluntary Campaigners (OSVC) have accused Primate Elijah Ayodele of using his so-called prophecies to manipulate politicians for personal financial gain. The group was reacting to Ayodele’s latest prophecy, where he claimed that Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu would not succeed in becoming the Governor of Oyo State in 2027 due to political challenges and rising tension in the state.

According to Ayodele, unrest is building in Oyo, with Muslims preparing for a major political shift and the Oke-Ogun region set to push back against Ibadan’s dominance—making it difficult for Adelabu to win. But OSVC isn’t buying it. In a statement signed by its chairman, Dr. Dele Atiba, the group described the Lagos-based cleric as a spiritual gambler who targets politicians in power with the hope of profiting from them.

They warned that Ayodele’s messages are nothing more than calculated attempts to get the attention of political figures and milk them financially. The group also pointed out inconsistencies in his past prophecies, such as claiming in 2022 that Bola Tinubu would lose the election, only to later endorse him for 2027.

Atiba said if Ayodele continues to spread what they described as blackmail disguised as prophecy, the group would not hesitate to take legal action and expose what they call evidence of manipulation and deceit. He urged the public to be cautious and not fall for what he termed “tricks” disguised as divine messages.

Peter Obi Stopped Atiku in 2023 and Will Do It Again in 2027, Deji Adeyanju Says

Activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has stirred fresh political conversation by referring to Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, as a stumbling block to Atiku Abubakar’s ambitions. Adeyanju believes Obi played a key role in preventing Atiku from winning the 2023 presidential election—and he’s confident history will repeat itself in 2027.

Back in 2019, Atiku and Obi were on the same ticket under the PDP but failed to unseat then-President Muhammadu Buhari. After that loss, Obi parted ways with the PDP and ran for president under the Labour Party in 2023, where he finished third.

Taking to X, Adeyanju shared his blunt view: “Obi is the weapon formed against Atiku. He blocked his path to the presidency before, and he’ll do it again. Stop championing people who won’t even lift a finger for themselves. Don’t overdo it—relax.”

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has lowered the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), or petrol, to N825 per litre, down from N835, as competition heats up in Nigeria’s fuel market.

This follows last month’s price reduction, when the 650,000 barrels per day refinery dropped the price from N865 to N835. The recent price change is aimed at providing more value to customers while strengthening Dangote’s position as a leader in the domestic market.
