Governor Adeleke slashes workdays for Osun civil servants

The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has approved the rescheduling of work days for civil servants in the state.

The directive which affects various categories of civil servants in the state is in response to high transportation costs.

Governor Ademola also approved an extension of payment of palliatives for public servants for the next two months.

The approval was contained in a circular from the Office of the Head of Service, Samuel Aina Ayanleye and issued in a statement by Olawale Rasheed, the spokesperson of the Osun State Governor on Tuesday.

The circular stated that the action was in pursuance of Governor Adeleke’s commitment to the well-being of workers, and a response to the present economic situation in the Country.

“By this Circular, therefore, and until another directive is given, the working day schedules for Public Servants in the state have been approved as follows:

“Public Servants on GL.01 to GL.10 – Three days a week. Public Servants on GL12 to GL.17 – Four days a week.”

The Circular further noted that the arrangements exclude those on essential duties such as medical personnel, security officers, political office holders and Accounting Officers.

“It is also important to note that arrangements as to which days each public servant in the above categories will be at work shall be arranged by the Accounting Officers in Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government.

“The Governor has also graciously approved the continuation of payment of the agreed palliatives to public servants in the state for the next two months pending the commencement of the new minimum wage.

“All Accounting Officers of Ministries, Departments and Agencies of
governments, including local governments, were further directed to comply.”

Nnamdi Kanu’s trial continues today

Barring any last minute changes, the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, will continue today, Tuesday, at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The Biafra agitator has been on trial since he was rearrested and repatriated back to Nigeria from Kenya in 2021.

He is facing trial for charges bordering on terrorism levelled against him by the Nigerian government.

A notice from Kanu’s lead Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor reads: “PUBLIC NOTICE: As was previously scheduled, the hearing of MAZI NNAMDI KANU’s case will be held TODAY (24th Sept) at 10AM instead of 12 noon as was done before.

“Venue is the same Federal High Court, Abuja. As usual, #MNK will be in attendance. This hearing is crucial.”

US judge rules on Prince Harry’s American visa application

A United States, US, judge, Carl Nichols has ruled against making public the American visa application of the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry.

Judge Nichols ruled that Harry’s US visa application should remain private despite him admitting taking drugs in his memoir.

In his memoir released in January 2023, the British Prince wrote of using marijuana, cocaine and psychedelic mushrooms.

A lawsuit from the conservative Heritage Foundation, sought to compel the US government to release Harry’s Immigration records to show if he disclosed using drugs.

Ruling on Monday, Nichols held that “the public does not have a strong interest in disclosure of the duke’s immigration records.

Nichols said the public’s interest in the disclosure of Harry’s immigration records is “outweighed by the duke’s privacy interest”.

The judge added: “Like any foreign national, the duke has a legitimate privacy interest in his immigration status.”

Judge Nichols said the public’s interest in disclosure of Prince Harry’s immigration records is “outweighed by the duke’s privacy interest”.

Prince Harry moved to the US in January 2020 after announcing that he and his wife, Meghan Markle, would step back from royal duties.

Many injured as explosion rocks Abuja

A tanker carrying fuel exploded in Maitama in Abuja on Monday night, leaving many injured and causing widespread panic.

The incident happened along Shehu Shagari Way and also affected passengers in a commercial vehicle.

Amid the chaos, emergency responders showed up at the scene, and nearby hospitals were quickly alerted.

The driver of the tanker is believed to have fled the scene after the truck tipped over, leading to the explosion.

The exact cause of the incident is still under investigation.

The explosion also resulted in a significant traffic gridlock in the area, further disrupting movement in the busy part of the federal capital city.

Iranian-backed militias in Iraq claim further attack on Israel

Iranian-allied militias in Iraq have claimed to have targeted a Golani Brigade observation base in Israel using drones on Monday morning.

The claim is coming a day after they said they had hit an “important target” with cruise missiles and drones.

The Israeli army said it intercepted a drone sent from Iraq in the southern part of the Golan Heights.

Since 2023, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group for pro-Iranian militias, has repeatedly claimed responsibility for targeting sites in Israel as a response to the war in Gaza.

Anthony Joshua speaks after stunning defeat to Dubois

In the aftermath of his devastating knockout loss to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium, Anthony Joshua has broken his silence, sending a defiant message to his supporters.

Despite the shattering defeat, the former two-time heavyweight champion said he remains resolute in his determination to reclaim the world title again.

In a video statement posted on his X page on Monday, Joshua expressed his gratitude to his fans, saying, “We came up short, but look, we have to focus on all the positives. That’s the mindset, and that’s the perspective we need to adopt — a positive one.

“Look at what we’ve achieved in the space of 11 years; it’s phenomenal, and I want to thank every single one of you who has been riding with me. What a rollercoaster journey, but you know what? The problem is that it’s far from over yet.”

Reflecting on his career, Anthony Joshua acknowledged the challenges he has faced, stating, “You know we’ve done it once, we’ve done it twice. Doing it a third time hasn’t been easy, but I believe it’s something I can achieve.”

However, he remains undeterred, asserting, “It’s about making the right steps forward, working hard, improving, and it has to come from within more than anything; it can’t come from any external voices or influences; it’s got to come from here.”

Despite the setback, Joshua’s unwavering spirit shines through as he declares, “It’s only been a day, but when I sit back and think, I know I’ve got a lot of this man. I know I’ve got a lot of this, so yeah, just a video to say thanks for your support.

“Thanks for being on this rollercoaster journey with me. Keep your seatbelts tight because deep down, I know we’ve got a lot more to bring — a lot more to bring to the game, and long may it continue. British boxing, I appreciate you; we rise together. Let’s go.”

This loss marks Joshua’s second career knockout defeat and casts doubt on his hopes of regaining a world title for the third time. However, the former champion has vowed to show his resilience and determination.

EFCC warns skit makers against unauthorised use of paraphernalia

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has issued a warning to skit makers who use the Commission’s official paraphernalia without permission.

This comes after an old video titled ‘EFCC and Army Wahala’ started making the rounds again on social media.

In a statement on its official X handle on Monday, the anti-graft agency expressed deep concerns over how their operatives are represented in skits.

The statement reads in part, “This, once again, compels the EFCC to reiterate its warning to skit makers and other social workers to desist from using the operational accouterments of the commission illegally and irresponsibly.”

The Commission described the video as a “caricature” of its actual etiquettes.

The anti-graft agency further decried the manner in which its operatives are portrayed as bullies, which it said is far from the truth.

“Operatives of the EFCC are not bullies. They are trained as refined modern law enforcement officers rich in decency, civility, and respect for members of the public, including suspects of economic and financial crimes,” the statement added.

Hippopotamus kills Emir of Yauri’s guard in Kebbi

A mother hippopotamus that is nursing a baby has killed Malam Usman Maigadi, a guard at an orchard owned by the Emir of Yauri in Kebbi State, Dr Muhammad Zayyanu-Abdullahi.

According to reports, 60-year-old Maigadi was attacked by the hippopotamus while he was fishing in Yauri River at Tillo Village in Yauri LGA on Sunday, September 22, 2024.

There were speculations that the animal may have perceived Maigadi as coming to harm its baby, hence the attack in self- defence.

The Chairman of Yauri Local Local Government, Alhaji Abubakar Shu’aibu and the Kebbi State Government confirmed the incident.

“Maigadi has been buried, according Islamic rites in Yauri, after a funeral prayer,” Shu’aibu said in a statement.

On his part, the Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Ahmed Idris, condoled with the Yauri Emirate and the family of the deceased.

The governor prayed to Allah to forgive the deceased’s shortcomings and grant him Jannatul Firdaus.

Iran-bound drug mule excretes 76 wraps of cocaine at Kano airport

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have arrested a 38-year-old alleged drug mule, Okafor Ifeanyi Anthony at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), Kano State.

The spokesperson of the agency, Femi Babafemi, who disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, September 22, 2024, said the suspect was nabbed while attempting to board a Qatar Airlines flight to Iran via Doha with 76 wraps of cocaine in his stomach on September 15.

“After three days in excretion observation, Okafor excreted the 76 pellets of the ingested cocaine weighing 1.267kg,” the statement read.

Meanwhile, in Kogi state, NDLEA officers on patrol along Okene-Lokoja-Abuja expressway on Tuesday 17th September recovered 700,000 pills of exol-5 coming from Lagos for distribution in Kano and Kaduna, while a suspect Udemefuna Chibuike, 23, was arrested by operatives on Friday 20th September along Mokwa-Jebba road, Niger state, in possession of 49,000 tablets of tramadol, 20,000 tablets of diazepam, 100 ampoules of tramadol injection and 50 bottles of cough syrup with codeine.

Gas explosion kill four family members in Italy

Four members of the same family, including two young children, were killed in a gas explosion that caused their home to partially collapse in southern Italy.

The tragedy occurred in the town of Saviano, near Naples, where a two-storey house was destroyed by the blast early Monday morning.

The victims include a boy and a girl, their mother, and their grandmother.

Italian firefighters, the Vigili del Fuoco, said the father and a newborn baby were rescued alive from the rubble.

The father remains in serious condition at a hospital in Naples, while the baby’s injuries are not life-threatening, according to local media.

“The parents and their three children lived on one floor of the house, while the grandmother lived on the floor above,” the Vigili del Fuoco said in a statement.

Rescue teams worked throughout the day and into the night to recover the victims, eventually locating the mother at 16:45 and the grandmother after midnight.

The explosion occurred at around 07:00 local time (06:00 BST). The exact cause is still under investigation, but preliminary theories point to a gas explosion as the cause of the collapse.

Drone footage from the scene showed large holes in the building’s roof, with much of the structure reduced to rubble.

Over 60 civil protection volunteers were involved in the rescue operation, which continued for hours with the assistance of sniffer dogs.

The fire service shared images of rescue teams working into the night, carefully sifting through debris to avoid further collapses.

China urges citizens in Israel to leave

China has urged its citizens in Israel to leave “as soon as possible”, as tensions between Israel and Lebanon’s Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah escalate.

“Currently, the situation along the Israel-Lebanon border is extremely tense, with frequent military conflicts,” China’s embassy in Israel said in a statement on Sunday.

“The security situation in Israel remains severe, complex, and unpredictable,” the statement added.

The embassy urged Chinese citizens in Israel to “return home or relocate to safer areas as soon as possible”.

Israel and Hezbollah threatened on Sunday to escalate their cross-border attacks despite international calls for both sides to step back from the brink of all-out war.

An Israeli air strike in a densely populated Hezbollah stronghold in southern Beirut Friday killed the head of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force, Ibrahim Aqil.

It came after a series of coordinated communications device blasts on Tuesday and Wednesday across Lebanon that killed 39 people and wounded almost 3,000, and which were blamed on Israel.

China last month asked its citizens in Lebanon to leave after an Israeli strike in the country killed a senior Palestinian militant.

Ukraine President in US to explain war plan to Biden, Harris, Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday arrived in the United States for a crucial visit to present Kyiv’s plan to end two and a half years of war with Russia.

Zelensky will present his proposals — which he calls a “victory plan” to President Joe Biden, as well as presidential hopefuls Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

The visit comes after a summer of intense fighting, with Moscow advancing fast in eastern Ukraine and Kyiv holding on to swathes of Russia’s Kursk region.

It also comes as Kyiv has for weeks pressed the West to allow it to use long-range weapons to strike targets deep inside Russia — so far to no avail.

When they meet at the White House on Thursday, Zelensky is expected to try to convince Biden to change his mind.

On the first leg of his US visit, Ukraine’s president visited a factory in Pennsylvania on Sunday that produces badly needed 155mm artillery shells.

“I began my visit to the United States by expressing my gratitude to all the employees at the plant,” Zelensky said Sunday in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

The post included photos of him shaking hands with workers at the plant, where he said production had been ramped up.

“It is in places like this where you can truly feel that the democratic world can prevail,” he wrote.

He will next travel to New York and Washington.

Zelensky said the coming weeks would decide how more than 30 months of fighting that has killed thousands would end.

“It is now being determined what the legacy of the current generation of states leaders will be. Those in the highest offices,” he said.

In comments before his trip, Zelensky said the United States and UK have not given Ukraine permission to use the long-range weapons as they fear escalation, but hinted he had not given up hope.

“We have had some decisions in the history of our relationship with Biden — very interesting and difficult dialogues,” Zelensky said earlier this week, adding: “He later changed his point of view.”

Moscow has said it considers such a go-ahead as NATO countries being “at war” with Russia.

A close adviser to Biden said this month that the US leader would use his remaining time in office to “put Ukraine in the best possible position to prevail.”

No details on Ukraine’s plan have been made public.

Zelensky said Biden would be the first foreign leader to see the plan “in full” — saying it will then also be presented to “all leaders of our partner countries.”

Zelensky plans to present the proposals to the US Congress, Harris and Trump. The White House has said he will meet with Democratic Vice President Harris separately from Biden, and Zelensky has said he expects to meet with Republican Trump on Thursday or Friday.

Harris has indicated she would continue Biden’s policies on Ukraine, while Trump has been hugely critical of Washington’s massive aid packages for Kyiv.

Zelensky said earlier this week that the plan envisages that “war will not return to us again in an even bigger wave” in years to come.

He has said Kyiv plans to hold meetings throughout autumn and that the “entire plan” will be ready by “early November.”

The proposals, he told the media Friday, envisage “quick and concrete steps by our strategic partners.”

One of those steps, he said, is “related to strengthening Ukraine’s weapons capabilities” while another demands a “clear place for Ukraine in the world’s security architecture”.

Zelensky has also said he plans to invite Russia to a possible second international peace summit in November.

But Moscow this weekend said it would not attend and referred to President Vladimir Putin’s conditions to enter talks: that Ukraine surrender four of its regions.

“I think both are still betting on the possibility of a military victory,” UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres told CNN Sunday.

Russian attacks on Ukraine killed six people — including two children — this weekend, while a strike on the city of Kharkiv wounded 21 people in a residential neighbourhood.

Ukraine said it struck two arms depots in Russia, with Kyiv’s army saying it hit a key ammunition storage base important to the Russian army’s logistics for its invasion.

CNG saves 70% in vehicle maintenance – Experts

Some automobile experts have said that cars using Compressed Natural Gas save 70 per cent in maintenance and running expenses compared to those running on Premium Motor Spirit.

They made the assertion during separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja.

Speaking on the benefits of converting cars from using petrol to CNG, the experts noted that beyond fuel efficiency, CNG is environmentally friendly, improved engine performance and extends its longevity

The Director-General, Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology, Mr Bayero Farah, told NAN that using CNG cars will save 70 per cent on running expenses compared to cars that run on petrol.

He said there would be an extension of service duration, engine performance and emission close to international standards while using CNG cars over those that use petrol.

According to him, CNG will have a stable price for a long period of time because it is not dependent on exchange rates and production challenges like the PMS and diesel.

The NITT boss, however, said that the disadvantage was just the initial cost of conversion which is very high at the moment.

“Other considerations are the availability of gas and technical expertise for repair and maintenance which the current administration and NITT are working to bring fast solutions to.

“NITT, by its mandate is working to provide adequate technical manpower through the Presidential CNG Initiative (PCNGI) that will deliver the entire value chain of the CNG.

“The PCNGI is establishing conversion facilities across the country to provide conversion, repairs and maintenance services.

“It is creating awareness on the benefits and consequences of using CNG and integrating relevant stakeholders in the CNG value chain,” he said.

National President, the Amalgamated Union of Motor Mechanics and Technicians, Mr Oseni Suleiman told NAN that CNG cars guaranteed cheaper maintenance costs than petrol-powered cars.

He said CNG burns more cleanly than petrol, reducing wear and tear on engine components and its combustion produces significantly lower emissions compared to PMS and diesel.

“CNG is cheaper and cleaner to use. It is cost-effective as it burns slowly in emission and consumption than petrol.

“But the availability of its refill stations in Nigeria as of today, is not encouraging.

“The spread of petrol and diesel stations across Nigeria is more, even when the products may be scarce most at times.

“Also, petrol seems to have been adulterated severally, such that it has lost its early quality which is now responsible for its quicker emission and loss of power and value,“ he said.

Suleiman added that CNG is safer than other fuels in the event of a spill.

“CNG storage systems undergo rigorous safety testing and are designed to withstand various conditions.

“Its gaseous nature disperses quickly, minimising the risk of fire and explosion,” he said.

He underscored the need for more Nigerian artisans to be trained in the conversion of petrol-using vehicles to CNG-running ones.

Suleiman said AUOMMATON had initiated the process of achieving the training and asked the government for support.

Also speaking with NAN, Mr Julius David, a car dealer, the Chief Executive Officer, Prince Autosin Abuja said some of his patrons had been demanding CNG vehicles.

He noted the buyers were getting to realise the greater benefits in the use of CNG cars.

“The unpredictability of the petrol market often leads to scarcity of petrol. During these times, petrol is usually sold at a very high price and this directly increases the cost of transport, and of every other thing indirectly.

“This makes it more difficult for Nigerians to cope. So, CNG is an alternative.

“CNG produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants than petrol and diesel.

“CNG is generally cheaper than petrol and diesel. Natural gas is abundant and widely available. CNG vehicles require less maintenance than petrol and diesel vehicles,“ he said.

Some CNG vehicle owners who spoke with NAN also affirmed that the design was cost-effective and easy to maintain.

“My own is factory fitted. When I bought the car some years back, I did not know the advantages, I was running on petrol because the gas stations are not available.

“it was challenging entering some public places because of the cylinder in the trunk. There was a time I wanted to dismantle it, but my mechanic advised me against it.

“But now, I am enjoying it. If I fill the cylinder for N4000, it takes me more than one week to exhaust it, and I go to work from Kubwa to Garki daily,” Mr Joseph Oluebube said.

NAN reports that the distance from Kubwa to Garki in FCT is about 34 kilometres.

Some other car users, however, expressed concerns about the cost of converting their petrol cars to CNG which they said it is between N700,000 to N1 million

They stressed the need for the government to open more conversion centres and CNG filling stations across the country.

The motorists also called on the government to offer incentives for using CNG vehicles to encourage more Nigerians to enjoy the new development in the country.

Vandals destroy TCN tower along 330kV Gombe-Damaturu-Maiduguri

The Transmission Company of Nigeria says its tower T372, along the Gombe-Damaturu-Maiduguri 330kV transmission line, was brought down by vandals on Saturday at about 1:44 a.m.

Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s spokeswoman, said this in a statement on Monday.

TCN said the development had thrown Damaturu in Yobe and Maiduguri in Borno out of power supply.

It added that the vandals cut off all four tower footing, resulting in the tower’s collapse, and were discovered by TCN’s linesmen deployed on emergency patrol.

According to the statement, Maiduguri town will be fed by the Maiduguri Emergency Power Plant (MEPP).

“Following the destructive attack, effort is ongoing by TCN’s engineers in the interim to back-feed Damaturu through a 33kV transmission line from Potiskum. Meanwhile, work will commence immediately to dismantle and evacuate the collapsed tower for reconstruction and restoration of the transmission line,” said the organisation.

Oleksandr Usyk reveals Anthony Joshua’s major problem after Daniel Dubois loss

Ukrainian boxer, Oleksandr Usyk has revealed Anthony Joshua’s major ‘problem’ following his shock defeat to Daniel Dubois on Saturday night.

Dubois defended his IBF heavyweight title in front of 96,000 fans at Wembley and defeated Joshua in five rounds.

The defeat means Joshua has now suffered four defeats in his professional career.

Speaking after the fight, Usyk, who has beaten Joshua on two occasions, believes the biggest flaw in his defeat to Dubois was his poor movement with his footwork in the ring.

“Not shocked [that Dubois defeated Joshua] because it’s boxing. Daniel Dubois today was better,” Usyk was quoted as saying by Metro UK.

“Anthony had one problem because this position [leaning back] is dangerous – if you want to step back, do it like this [by moving your feet], not like this [leaning], this is dangerous.”

Dubois reveals ambition after beating Anthony Joshua

British boxer, Daniel Dubois has revealed that he wants to get to the top level of the game and reach his full potential after beating his compatriot Anthony Joshua on Saturday night.

The 27-year-old destroyed Joshua’s dream of becoming a three-time heavyweight world champion with a fifth-round knockout to retain his IBF belt at Wembley Stadium.

“l have only got a few words to say: Are you not entertained?” declared Dubois said at

“I’m a gladiator, I’m a warrior to the bitter end. I want to get to the top level of this game and reach my full potential.

“I have been on a rollercoaster ride. This is my time, this is my redemption story, and I’m not going to stop until l reach my full potential.”

Israel shuts schools over insecurity

Israel’s civil defence agency on Sunday ordered all schools in the country’s north closed following rocket fire by the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah and intensifying cross-border violence.

The military’s Home Front Command said schools and other educational institutions and activities would not be permitted in the north until at least Monday at 6:00 pm (1500 GMT).

Meanwhile, the death toll from an Israeli air strike that targeted Hezbollah military commanders in Beirut’s southern suburbs this week has risen to 45, Lebanon’s health ministry said Sunday.

“The number of dead has risen to 45 people,” a ministry statement said, updating an earlier toll of 37 from the Friday attack.

It said, “Work continues to remove the rubble for the third day in a row,” and that DNA sampling would be used to determine the identities of some of the bodies.
