The Northern Elders Political Development group has commended the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, and the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, for their efforts in enhancing security across the North West region.
In a statement released in Kaduna on Tuesday, the group’s Secretary, Dr. Adamu Giwa, noted that most towns and villages in the region celebrated Eid-el-Fitri peacefully, with only isolated cases of unrest reported in parts of Sokoto and Zamfara.
The commendation follows the success of Operation Fansa Yamma, which has dismantled several bandit enclaves, significantly improving travel and trade along key routes, including Sokoto-Gusau-Kano.
The group also acknowledged the military’s sacrifices, lauding Minister Matawalle’s unwavering support for troops, which has boosted their morale.
Furthermore, they praised General Musa’s leadership in coordinating military operations to maintain peace in the region.
The elders recognized President Bola Tinubu’s backing of security forces, which has contributed to a decline in kidnappings and attacks in Zamfara, Katsina, and Sokoto states.
However, they raised concerns over sporadic attacks in parts of Sokoto, Katsina, Kebbi, and Zamfara, urging continued vigilance.
Despite these concerns, the group expressed confidence in ongoing military efforts to sustain peace and stability in the region.

Strikes on Iran would’ve catastrophic consequences – Russia warns US after Trump’s threat
Russia on Tuesday warned the United States that any military attack on Iran’s nuclear sites would have “catastrophic” effects.
Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov issued the warning while calling for peaceful negotiations.
This comes after United States President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iran unless the Asian country comes to an agreement with the US on its nuclear activities.
“If they [Iran] don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” Trump said.
Speaking on the development, Ryabkov raised concern over the matter.
“Threats are indeed being heard, ultimatums are also being heard,” Ryabkov said in an interview with the International Affairs journal on Tuesday.
“We consider such methods inappropriate, we condemn them. We consider them a way for [the United States] to impose its own will on the Iranian side.
“The consequences of this, especially if the strikes are on nuclear infrastructure, could be catastrophic for the entire region.”

Embattled Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Tuesday declared that nobody can stop her from coming home.
Natasha stressed her connection to her root, saying she’s not afraid of anybody trying to stop her from coming home.
She made the assertion while addressing her followers who gathered to welcome her in Okehi Local Government Area.
The senator said, “Nobody and nothing can stop me from coming home. I’m an Ebira woman; this is my land. I’m the daughter of the late Jimoh Abdul Akpoti. I know my roots; I’m not a bastard, and I’m not afraid of anybody.”
DAILY POST reports that the Kogi government had banned rallies and public gatherings across the state ahead of her homecoming, citing security issues.
The government also stopped fishing and other activities, lamenting that fishing activities resulted in the loss of two lives in Kasemiya, Katubo and Umozu Ette, all in Kogi LGA in Kogi West.
Similarly, the Kogi State Police Command also issued security alerts urging the suspended lawmaker to shelve the planned rally.
The chairman of Okehi LGA, Amoka Monday, declared a curfew in the area.
Despite the move to stop large gatherings, hundreds of supporters welcomed Natasha as she arrived her hometown.
The senator was recently suspended from the Senate following her clash with Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, who she accused of sexual harassment.
Natasha was suspended for six months for alleged misconduct during plenary.

Volcano erupts in Iceland, tourists, residents forced to evacuate
A volcano erupted in the south of Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, on Tuesday.
The eruption has spewed lava and smoke, leading to the evacuation of tourists and residents although air traffic continued as normal.
“Warning: An eruption has begun. The total length of the eruptive fissure is now about 1,200 metres (3,937 feet) and continues to extend southward,” the Icelandic Meteorological Office said in a statement on Tuesday.
Iceland, which is widely referred to as a land of ice and fire, has now witnessed 11 volcano eruptions south of the capital since 2021.
The most disruptive incident in recent times was in 2010, when the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted, sending huge clouds of ash into the atmosphere and disrupting transatlantic air travel for months.
The eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula on Tuesday so far has not directly affected Reykjavik and has not caused significant dispersal of ash into the stratosphere, avoiding air traffic disruptions.

Yobe residents slam YEDC over discrepancy in power supply
Electricity consumers under Band C in Yobe State have berated the management of Yola Electricity Distribution Company, YEDC, over an alleged discrepancy in electricity supply within the Damaturu metropolis.
One of the consumers, Malam Mohammed Umar Ali, who vented his frustration noted that customers under Band C are supposed to enjoy 12 hours of electricity supply daily but alleged that they barely receive 6 hours.
He wrote to the YEDC management that “We, the residents of Band C (Gashua Road, Damaturu), are compelled to voice our frustration over the persistent disrespect and injustices we are facing.
“Despite our patience for the sake of peace amidst the fragile situation in our town, your continued neglect of our needs is unacceptable.
“We were promised 12 hours of electricity, yet we are barely receiving 6 hours. This discrepancy is not what we agreed upon, and we feel deceived and disrespected”.
Ali demanded immediate action to rectify the situation.
Another consumer, Shuaibu Mohammed also added his voice saying that the persistent issue is uncalled for and should be addressed immediately.
“Indeed this should be looked into. The barely 6 hours that is being supplied to us has not only been untimely but with a low voltage that doesn’t support Most of our needed appliances e.g. Refrigerators”, he said.
When contacted for comment, one of the YEDC’s senior officials Sagir Madu said the Distribution Company is working to ensure that there is sufficient power supply to all customers.
“Please bear with us, things will get better. Rest assured that our management is working tirelessly, day and night, to ensure a steady and sufficient supply for our valued customers”, Madu said.

Why we can’t accept Trump’s Ukraine peace plans – Russian Minister, Ryabkov
Sergei Ryabkov, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, has vowed that the Kremlin “cannot accept” American peace to end war with Ukraine proposals as things stand, Newsweek reports.
He said the United States is not taking into consideration Russia’s “main demand” to secure peace in its war on Ukraine.
DAILY POST reports that US President Donald Trump is attempting to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine to end the ongoing war.
The US President has so far secured partial ceasefires in the Black Sea and against energy infrastructure.
In an interview with Russia’s International Affairs magazine on Tuesday, Ryabkov said “We have not heard from Trump a signal to Kyiv to end the war.
“All that we have today is an attempt to find a certain scheme that would first allow us to achieve a ceasefire, as it is conceived by the Americans.
“And then move on to some other models and schemes, in which, as far as we can judge, today there is no place for our main demand, namely, the solution of problems related to the root causes of this conflict.”
