Tinubu Promises to Track Down All Wrongdoers and Make Nigeria Safe for Everyone
President Bola Tinubu has promised that Nigerians who engage in harmful activities will face severe legal consequences.
He stressed that his administration would not tolerate misconduct or threats to the nation’s peace, whether these offenders are within the country or operating from abroad.
Speaking through the National Security Advisor (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, during the graduation ceremony of the Executive Intelligence Management Course 17 at the National Institute for Security Studies (NISS) in Abuja, Tinubu made it clear that justice will catch up with anyone endangering Nigeria’s security.
“If you are causing harm to Nigeria, no matter where you are, we will find you.
You will be held accountable for your actions,” Ribadu stated, reiterating the President’s unwavering resolve to maintain law and order.
The ceremony, which marked a significant milestone for senior security officials completing their advanced training, also saw remarks from the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Adeọla Ajayi.
Ajayi stated the importance of cooperation among Nigeria’s various security agencies in tackling the country’s challenges.
He emphasized, “Collaboration is key. We are witnessing an unprecedented level of synergy between the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) and the NSA, which is driving a more unified front against insecurity.
When we work as one, no threat can defeat us.”
Ajayi expressed optimism about the nation’s future security, assuring citizens that progress is underway.
“Soon, Nigerians will sleep peacefully, without fear.
This is the direction set by the President, and we’re fully committed to delivering on this promise.”
He also conveyed gratitude for his appointment, pledging loyalty and dedication.
“I thank President Tinubu for the trust placed in me. I am committed to upholding this responsibility and ensuring our collective safety.”
The Chairman of Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State, Torseer Yina, has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in the ancient town.
The curfew takes effect from Thursday, October 8, 2026, following unrest and violent protests in the area.
According to reports, the action was taken to contain the unrest and violent protests by members of BEMOA following the death of one of its members by unknown gunmen.
The protest, which was reportedly hijacked by hoodlums, turned violent after an angry mob burnt two vehicles belonging to the Benue State Civil Protection Guards.
The Gboko council chairman said the curfew takes effect immediately and warned that anyone caught flouting the order or breaching public peace would be decisively dealt with.
Nine people have died in a fatal road crash along the Ijebu-Ode-Benin Expressway in Ogun State.
The crash occurred on Monday at about 4:55pm around the Bethel area along the Ijebu-Ode/Ore axis of the expressway. It involved a white Toyota Hiace commercial bus belonging to Delta Line and a white Sino truck operated by Bill Gas Solution Ltd.
According to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), all nine people involved in the crash, comprising three males and six females, died in the incident.
The FRSC said the crash occurred while it was raining and the road was wet, with preliminary investigations identifying speed violation as the probable cause.
The FRSC rescue team arrived at the scene shortly after receiving the report, while the bodies of the victims were taken to the General Hospital Morgue in Ijebu-Ode.
The Ogun State Sector Commander, Oludare Ogunjobi, urged motorists, especially commercial drivers, to obey speed limits and exercise extra caution when driving in the rain.
Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, speaks on the role and importance of teachers in the world to celebrate Teachers’ Day today.
He spoke on technology and its advancement and shared that while it is going well, teachers can never be replaced.
“These tools can help teachers reach learners and tailor instruction, but the judgement, encouragement and human connection of a skilled teacher remain indispensable,” he said.
“Every doctor, engineer, scientist, entrepreneur and public servant has benefited from a teacher and could not have become what they are today without teachers,” the minister said.
“When we honour teachers, we honour the people who make every other profession possible.”
