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.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
