The Defence Headquarters released dramatic footage showing how security forces secured the release of the Ogbomoso school children and teachers after 56 days in captivity.

Governor Seyi Makinde said some security personnel died during the rescue operation, and although the victims are now free, many are still coping with the psychological impact of their ordeal and need continued support for their recovery.

Meanwhile, presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for remaining silent for 18 hours after the rescue despite previously highlighting the abduction, while giving Peter Obi a qualified compliment for calling for thanksgiving.

Atiku, through his spokesman Phrank Shaibu, questioned the timing of the rescue, criticized President Tinubu for not addressing the nation, while many Nigerians urged politicians to stop politicizing the children's ordeal and focus on celebrating their safe return.

It comes as Governor Seyi Makinde suggested the kidnappings may have been politically motivated because they occurred shortly after he decided to run for president, adding a new political dimension to the crisis.

Communities across Oyo State celebrated the safe return of the rescued schoolchildren and teachers, while also mourning the two teachers and security personnel who lost their lives during the abduction and rescue operation.

In Kogi State, suspected kidnappers reportedly intercepted a funeral convoy, abducted the body of FRSC Deputy Commander Augustine Ikwue along with several mourners and are demanding ₦50 million for the release of the remaining captives.

A public dispute erupted after Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo accused Peter Obi of violating Abuja airport parking rules.

Keyamo demanded an apology and ₦25,000 fine while releasing CCTV footage to refute Obi's claims of political persecution, sparking widespread debate online.

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu sparked widespread debate after urging Burna Boy, Davido, and Asake to use their wealth to support vulnerable Nigerians.

A number of critics pushed back, arguing that tackling poverty should primarily be the government's responsibility.

Under milestones, July 13 marks exactly one year since Nigeria lost former President Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away in London at the age of 82.

In another milestone, we celebrate the 92nd birthday of Professor Wole Soyinka as one of Nigeria’s foremost playwrights and fearless advocates.

Ugandan Army Chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba went viral after publicly demanding that Jay-Z give him Beyoncé in marriage and threatening a solo protest to prove his love, prompting a mix of amusement and concern given his powerful political and military position.
