Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has announced the implementation of a 24-hour curfew in the Jos North and Bukuru areas, effective from midnight on Sunday, August 4, 2024. This decision is part of a broader strategy to bolster public safety and maintain order within the state.

According to a press release issued by the Governor’s Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, the curfew is a direct response to recent disturbances caused by individuals who took advantage of the nationwide protest to commit acts of violence and theft.

These perpetrators, armed with dangerous weapons such as daggers and machetes, were involved in looting shops and restaurants along Bauchi Road and Zololo Junction, targeting foodstuffs and other valuable goods.

Governor Mutfwang, who consulted with state security agencies before making this decision, emphasized that the curfew is crucial for the protection of residents and the preservation of public order.

He stressed the importance of full compliance with this measure to ensure the safety and well-being of all inhabitants in the affected areas.

He called on all relevant security agencies to remain alert and proactive to prevent any potential disruptions to peace and order.

Furthermore, Governor Mutfwang expressed his appreciation to the citizens of Plateau State, particularly the clergy and religious leaders, for their steadfast support of government initiatives and adherence to directives during the nationwide protest.

He commended their peaceful conduct and urged everyone to continue fostering a culture of peace as they work together toward building a more united and progressive Plateau State.

In summary, the curfew is seen as a necessary step to address the recent security challenges and restore calm, with the Governor calling for continued cooperation from all residents to maintain tranquility and stability in the state.

An auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, recently testified before the coroner investigating the death of Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad. The hearing took place at the Magistrate Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, on Saturday, where Ogedengbe gave a detailed account of the events leading up to Mohbad’s death.

Ogedengbe explained that she completed her nursing training at Cornerstone Hospital in Akute, Ogun State, from 2014 to 2017. She worked at the hospital for a year before relocating. She stated that on September 11, 2023, a client named Ayobami Sodiq, also known as Spending, contacted her to treat a friend who had injured his hand. Spending suspected that a piece of glass was stuck in the wound.

Due to traffic, Ogedengbe couldn’t attend to the patient that day but went the next day, September 12, around 2:30 p.m. When she arrived at Orchid Estate in Lekki, she realized the patient was Mohbad. She met Mohbad, his wife, and Ayobami in a room.

Ogedengbe said Mohbad’s right hand was swollen. After confirming that he had an ulcer, she decided not to give him a diclofenac injection and instead administered 4ml of paracetamol and 1ml of water intravenously. She also gave him a diluted 10ml ceftriaxone injection for pain and to treat any bacterial infection.

While receiving the ceftriaxone, Mohbad said he felt like vomiting. Ogedengbe stopped the injection, and Mohbad went to the toilet to vomit. When he returned and sat on the floor, Ogedengbe noticed goosebumps on his body. Mohbad’s wife said this was a normal reaction and suggested pouring water on him to help.

His wife took him to the bathroom and began pouring water on his head. Meanwhile, Ogedengbe and Ayobami went to find a pharmacy to get hydrocortisone and saline infusion for the allergic reaction. The first pharmacy didn’t have the medication, but they found it at a second pharmacy around 3 p.m.

While at the pharmacy, Ayobami received a call saying Mohbad was convulsing. Ogedengbe told him to arrange for Mohbad to be taken to the hospital. By the time they returned to the house, Mohbad had been moved outside, and the hydrocortisone and saline infusion couldn’t be administered.

Since no vehicle was available, a neighbour offered to drive them to the hospital. Ogedengbe sat in the front with Mohbad’s wife, while Mohbad, Ayobami, and Mohbad’s brother, Adura, sat in the back. Heavy traffic slowed them down, so Mohbad was transferred to a motorbike while Ogedengbe ran behind it.

It took about 20 minutes to reach the first hospital, where the staff initially hesitated to treat Mohbad. They eventually performed CPR, but the doctor pronounced Mohbad dead. Ogedengbe informed the doctor about the medications she had given Mohbad.

Darosha, another friend, arrived and insisted on taking Mohbad to another hospital. Mohbad’s wife accompanied Darosha while Ogedengbe and Ayobami followed in an Uber. At the second hospital, the medical team confirmed there was no pulse. The doctor spoke with Ogedengbe and then consulted Mohbad’s family members, Darosha and Spending.

They stayed at the second hospital for about an hour before returning Mohbad’s body to the house around 8 p.m. Later that night, Ogedengbe, Ayobami, Mohbad’s lawyer, and Ogedengbe’s cousin went to the police station at Orchid Lekki to report the death and seek a death certificate. The police advised them to visit Ajiwe Police Station in Ajah for a police report.

Ogedengbe’s testimony was followed by a cross-examination from the lawyers representing Mohbad’s family, his wife, and the state government. The case was adjourned to March 21, 2025, for further hearing.

A corps member serving in Lagos State has raised the alarm after allegedly receiving threatening messages for criticizing President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

In a viral TikTok video, the corps member, known as @talktoraye, expressed frustration over the rising cost of living and economic hardship under Tinubu’s government. She openly called out the president, describing him as a terrible leader and questioning what steps the government was taking to address the country’s worsening economic situation.

She also complained about the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme, saying it hasn’t been helpful since she spends more than the allowance she receives.

“If more Nigerians speak up about what we’re facing, maybe things will change,” she said. “I don’t know if there’s any other president as terrible as you, but you are such a terrible president.”

She described how the cost of food and essentials keeps increasing every week, leaving her overwhelmed. “I went to buy foodstuff, and everything has gone up again. A crate of eggs now costs N6,500. It makes no sense because I remember when eggs were N800,” she said.

She also mentioned the rising cost of utility bills and transportation. “After shopping, I got home to find out the security and NEPA bills have doubled. It’s crazy. Every penny I make goes into paying bills. Even taking an Uber with a friend now costs N25,000. Why is everything so expensive?”

After the video gained attention, the corps member said she started receiving threatening messages, allegedly from NYSC officials. She later posted another video where she was reportedly on a call with an NYSC official who scolded her and demanded that she delete the video.

“Are you normal? Keep quiet and take down that video,” the official allegedly told her.

Manchester United has unveiled ambitious plans for a new £2 billion stadium, aiming to set a new benchmark in football infrastructure. The proposed 100,000-seat venue is designed by renowned architect Lord Norman Foster, known for iconic projects like London’s Wembley Stadium.

The stadium’s design features a vast umbrella-like structure that harvests energy and rainwater, symbolizing Manchester’s industrial heritage.

The exterior will be adorned with tensile fabric and triple masts inspired by the club’s logo, reflecting the city’s weather and urban spirit. The development includes a public plaza twice the size of Trafalgar Square, aiming to create a vibrant community space.

Planned adjacent to the current Old Trafford site, the new stadium aims to ensure continuity for fans and minimize disruption during construction.

However, the project faces logistical challenges, including the potential relocation of a rail terminal. Securing necessary approvals and integrating the stadium into the existing urban fabric will require careful planning.

Funding the £2 billion project presents significant challenges. Manchester United’s current debt levels raise questions about financing the stadium without compromising financial stability. Government support may be crucial to realize this vision, but the financial implications are complex and require thorough assessment.
