Published

No fewer than three people were killed by hoodlums known as Kalare boys in the Bolari area of Gombe State.

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Commandant, Muhammad Bello, clarified during a press briefing on July 31, 2024, that the killings were unrelated to the ongoing protests.

Bello stated, “The Kalare boys killed three at Bolari, but it had nothing to do with the protest. They had a misunderstanding within their ranks which led to clashes.”

He emphasized that the NSCDC is prepared to protect lives and property, deploying 600 officers across the state.

Bello also urged collaboration with other security agencies and the return of officers currently on break to ensure public safety.

Veteran Nollywood actor and filmmaker Richard Mofe-Damijo, famously known as RMD, has advised Nigerians to focus on providing solutions to the country’s problems rather than simply criticising them.

He advised that Nigerians can do more than criticise, as they can also contribute to solving problems and helping to improve the country.

RMD made the remarks at the 2026 Pivot Nigeria Conference in Lagos, themed “The Reputation Dividend: Who Pays for Nigeria’s Perception?”

“There are problems, but we need to fix them. Don’t stand and just criticise and propose no solution, Just remember who you are. You are an ambassador, not just for yourself, your parents or your school, but ultimately for your country,” he added.
