A major power clash has erupted within the NURTW as Tajudeen Baruwa stormed the Abuja secretariat after court rulings reinstated him as National President, challenging Musiliu Akinsanya. Baruwa insists the takeover is backed by court judgments, but tensions escalated as supporters removed and defaced MC Oluomo’s portrait, with reports of violent clashes and injuries. The situation took another turn as Baruwa was later arrested alongside six others, with police saying over 300 armed supporters stormed the premises.

Meanwhile, fresh political tension is building as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission moved against properties linked to former Attorney General Abubakar Malami. The action came shortly after a visit by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who warned against what he described as moves toward a one-party state.

In Cross River, outrage is growing over a viral video showing young boys, known as “Skolombo,” tied up and threatened during an operation by the Calabar Urban Development Authority. Officials say the crackdown targets street crime, but critics have condemned the methods as inhumane, even as other videos highlight the dangers posed by the group.

Across the country, Nigerians continue to grapple with rising fuel costs, with prices hovering around ₦1300 per litre and transport fares surging. One viral clip shows a commuter’s fare jumping from ₦400 to ₦1500 overnight, underscoring the growing cost-of-living crisis. In response, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has approved a ₦10,000 monthly transport allowance for civil servants for over three months to cushion the impact.

Finally, under milestones, Nollywood icon Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and her husband, Matthew Ekeinde, are celebrating 30 years of marriage, marking the occasion with heartfelt messages reflecting on decades of love and commitment.
