In Oyo State, outrage continues after terrorists attacked three schools in Oriire, Ogbomosho, abducting teachers and students, with reports confirming the killing of one kidnapped teacher, Michael Oyedokun.

As a result, Governor Seyi Makinde says arrests have been made as rescue operations continue, while President Tinubu condemned the attack as “barbaric”.

Politics was dominated by APC primaries, with former Delta governor Ifeanyi Okowa defeating Senator Ned Nwoko for the Delta North ticket.

It comes as a new video circulating online shows how Nwoko reportedly received just three supporters at one polling unit, sparking mixed reactions on social media.

Meanwhile in Kogi State, former Governor Yahaya Bello secured the APC senatorial ticket despite his ongoing EFCC corruption trial, as viral clips alleging irregular vote counting triggered fresh controversy online.

In a similar development, Senate President Godswill Akpabio emerged as the consensus candidate for Akwa Ibom North West.

Separately in Kano, Rabiu Kwankwaso trended after large crowds gathered at his residence, fuelling speculation about a possible 2027 alliance with Peter Obi.

In Abuja, Omoyele Sowore and Nasir El-Rufai sparked reactions after a viral exchange following El-Rufai’s N100 million bail over alleged national security charges, with his family later accusing the DSS of violating court orders.

Under Good News, Nigerian filmmakers Arie and Chuko Esiri earned acclaim at Cannes for their film “Clarissa”, starring Sophie Okonedo, David Oyelowo and Ayo Edebiri.
