Tinubu Breaks Silence on Food Stampedes
President Bola Tinubu has condemned the recent fatal stampedes in Ibadan, Anambra, and Abuja, blaming the organisers of the palliative distribution events for the tragedies.
The stampedes, which occurred while residents were trying to collect groceries, resulted in the loss of over 60 lives, including children.
Tinubu, in a media chat last night at his Bourdillon residence in Lagos, described the incidents as a “very grave error” on the part of the organisers.
He emphasized the need for better planning and crowd control measures to prevent such disasters in the future.
He disclosed that he has been giving to the less privileged at Bourdillon for the past 25 years, and has never experienced a stampede.
“I see this as a very grave error on the part of the organizers “Condolences to those who lost a family member, it is good to give.
“I have been giving out foodstuff, commodities etc in Bourdillon. If you know you don’t have enough to give do not publicize it.”
The High Court Judge abducted in Kebbi State one week ago, Hon. Justice Faruku Hassan Bunza, has regained his freedom.
A family member confirmed the release to our correspondent on Monday, saying the judge arrived home a few hours ago.
According to the family member, relatives are jubilant and full of gratitude to God for the safe return of the abducted judge. He said the family expressed appreciation to all those who stood by them during the ordeal.
As of the time of filing this report, the Kebbi State Judiciary and security agencies had not released an official statement.
Justice Bunza’s abduction last week drew widespread concern across the state, with calls for his immediate and safe release.
……says Smoke Caused by Fire Suppression System
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has clarified that there was no fire at Terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos following an incident that prompted an earlier advisory.
Preliminary findings show that the smoke observed in the affected area resulted from the discharge of the terminal’s FM-200 fire suppression system. The cause of the system’s activation is still under investigation.
Normal operations have since resumed at the terminal. Detailed investigations are ongoing to establish the exact cause of the incident.
FAAN thanked passengers, airlines, airport users and other stakeholders for their understanding and cooperation, and reaffirmed its commitment to the safety and security of all airport operations.
A fire has broken out at a terminal of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, according to reports.
The incident is expected to cause flight delays, with passengers reportedly stranded outside the affected terminal as emergency responders work to contain the blaze and restore normal operations.
Further details on the cause, extent of the damage, and impact on flight schedules are still emerging. Airport authorities and emergency services are on site.
