President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to visit Jos today to offer condolences after the city’s deadly Palm Sunday attacks, following a security briefing from Caleb Mutfwang.

Meanwhile, the United States is closely monitoring the situation in Jos, with Riley Moore warning that it could intervene if Nigeria fails to quickly curb the violence.

In a similar vein, a disturbing viral video shows an unidentified young man being violently attacked near the University of Jos shortly after a 48-hour curfew was lifted.

In politics, the Independent National Electoral Commission removed key African Democratic Congress leaders including David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola from its portal over a court dispute, sparking widespread backlash and accusations of undermining democracy.

In Edo State, social media is reacting in shock after 52-year-old Titilayo Akindele, arrested by the NDLEA for selling cannabis, collapsed and died in court during her arraignment. Her family alleges she had been ill in custody and denied bail, with the NDLEA denying allegations of negligence on their part.

In another development, students at Ekiti State University report repeated armed attacks on their hostels, forcing them to form vigilante groups for protection as police investigate and authorities impose new restrictions.

In another story, heavy rainfall has triggered severe flooding across Lagos—badly affecting areas like Ikotun Market and Lekki—disrupting daily life and renewing concerns over the city’s flood management as the rainy season approaches.

In our milestone report, we celebrate the 90th birthday of Dennis Okoro as one of Nigeria's foremost educators and the pioneer of Nigeria's universal primary education scheme.

Under entertainment, Grammy-winning Afrobeats singer Tems captivated audiences on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon with a performance of "What You Need" from her EP Love is a Kingdom.
