BREAKING: Kanu Orders End Of All Sit-At-Home In Nigeria’s Southeast

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), today, ordered an end to all sit-at-home in the South-eastern Nigeria.
“I embarked on this movement to liberate our people not to enslave them.
“I despise and will despise any person or entity that wishes to inflict unnecessary hardship on our people, ” Kanu said in a handwritten letter authorised to his special counsel, Aloy Ejimakor.


The IPOB leader unequivocally stated that anyone henceforth engaging in any sit-at-home in the region is no longer his disciple.
Kanu, in the written declaration dated July 24, 2023, warned Ekpa to “desist from calling for any sit-at-home henceforth,” and “to make a public announcement to the effect that he (Ekpa) is in receipt of a direct order from him (Kanu) to cancel any pending sit-at-home in place at the moment”.
The statement read: “Simon, this is a direct order from me.
I hereby instruct you to desist from calling for any sit-at-home henceforth. Equally, refrain from antagonising governors or persons in political positions because you are not in a position to know what they are doing on my behalf.
I am ordering you to make a public announcement to the effect that you are in receipt of a direct order from me to cancel any pending sit-at-home in place at the moment.
” I have authorised Alloy to issue a press statement if you fail to make this announcement on your platform.
“Anybody still engaging in sit-at-home is not my disciple.
” Haters of Biafra and mindless murderers in uniform are hiding under the cover of combating enforcers of sit-at-home to unleash mayhem against the same people we swore to defend.
“I have sent countless messages to those purportedly enforcing sit-at-home that they are not doing so in my name.
I am not begging anybody to release me just that Nigeria should have the decency to obey their own laws.
“The main issue which our people should address their minds to is the unconscionable delays in hearing the govt’s appeal at the Supreme Court, which is a situation not amenable to any sit-at-home. Therefore, sit-at-home is a waste of time, resources and energy.
Genesis of the sit-at-home
“Those who may not understand the genesis of the sit-at-home should refer to my younger brother’s press statement on the eve of the commencement of the original order issued by the IPOB family.
My brother made it clear to the DOS that I was against the order for people to stay at home under whatever guise.
This caused a rift between my siblings and DOS till date
“Aloy should use the above contributions to form the main body of the press statement.
I want our people to know how this whole sit-at-home brouhaha started. Had DOS obeyed my direct instructions to cancel the first Monday sit-at-home, opportunistic scavengers would not have jumped on the bandwagon to wreak havoc on our people.
“You (Aloy) must release the press statement tomorrow with the screenshot of the handwritten note I gave to you unfailingly,” he said in the letter.

Lagos Insists Residents Patronise PSP Waste Operators or Face Prosecution with N250 Thousand Fines

Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tokunbo Wahab, said that the government has provided PSP waste operators across all the wards in the State to evacuate waste from all homes and neighbourhoods in the state for a fee.
He spoke on Thursday regarding the recent arrest of five persons arrested for having dumped refuse in the canal along Igando-Iba road Link Bridge.
They were arraigned and remanded in Kirikiri prison.
The Commissioner reiterated the resolve of the state government to punish people who engage in indiscriminate dumping of refuse.
He said that the State Government will ensure diligent prosecution of all the arrested people to serve as a deterrent to others.
He reminded all those with similar intentions to be wary because they risk three months’ imprisonment and a fine of N250,000.
In a statement signed byKunle Adeshina Director of Public Affairs MOE&WR said that the accused persons who were arraigned before a Magistrate Court sitting in Oshodi for dumping waste in a canal had their case adjourned till July 9.
They were identified as Quassim Jamiu, 44, from Kwara State, Ayo Jamiu, 18, from Kwara State, Alexander Innocent, 40, from Akwa Ibom, Oparinde Taiwo, 55- from Ogun State and Moses Adelowokan, 76 years old, from Osun State.
The men who were apprehended by a team from Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) and security men had conveyed the waste in a lorry and were in the process of dumping it into the canal when security men swooped on them.
These latest arrests are coming less than 48 hours after the State Government read the riot act to all those who engage in disobeying provisions of the State Environmental laws that if caught, they will face prosecution.

BREAKING: 20 suspects arrested over hacking of 2025 UTME results

The Department of State Services, DSS, and the Nigerian Police Force, have arrested at least 20 suspects over hacking of the 2025 computer-based test, CBT, Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.
The 2025 UTME was conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB.
According to reports, the suspects are part of a syndicate believed to have over 100 persons who specialise in hacking of the computer servers of examination bodies like JAMB and the National Examinations Council, NECO.
The report also confirmed that the suspects have confessed to sabotaging the CBT system in order to discredit JAMB and discourage students from using CBT for future examinations to be conducted by NECO and the West African Examination Council, WAEC.
“The syndicate would install an attacking software on the examination body hardware. The software, in turn, would remotely hack JAMB servers at any targeted CBT centre,” the source quoted one of the suspect as confessing.
The entire hacking process was to influence high scores for special candidates who paid between N700,000 and N2 million.
The report further added that preliminary investigations revealed that several members of the syndicate own private schools and colleges, and make huge sums of money from their special centres.
