Man Electrocuted During Attempted Theft of Electric Cables
FAAN, The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria reveals that a middle aged man was electrocuted while trying to steal electrical cables. The Managing Director, Mrs Olubunmi Kuku, confirms the incidents and assures that a tighter security will be kept in place to stop unauthorized persons from entry. She also reported incidents where intruders breached airport perimeter fences and stole airfield lighting equipment.
Addressing the newly inaugurated security personnel, Kuku emphasized the importance of their role within a specially selected unit, expressing hope that their firearms would not need to be used. He stressed the necessity of close collaboration with other airport security agencies to maintain a safe and secure environment. Kuku highlighted ongoing cooperation with various agencies, including the Air Force. The FAAN managing director underscored the continued commitment of President Bola Tinubu, Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo, and National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu to enhancing airport security.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
