Osun monarch, Oba Haastrup warns traders against price hike

The Owa Obokun Adimula of Ijesa land, Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup, has cautioned traders against arbitrary increases in the prices of goods and the sale of counterfeit products.

The monarch gave the warning when members of the Eze Ndigbo in Ijesaland, led by their leader, Eze Ifeanyi Achiever, paid him a courtesy visit at his palace on Wednesday.

Oba Haastrup, who also reaffirmed the hospitality of his people towards non-indigenes, stressed that Ijesaland remained a welcoming home to all residents regardless of origin.

The Ijesa paramount traditional ruler also commended the Igbo community in the area for their harmonious coexistence with his subjects and urged them to continue fostering unity and peace.

“The people of Ijesaland value peaceful cohabitation. I commend you for the cordial relationship with our people and encourage you to sustain it,” the Owa Obokun stated.

He, however, condemned the formation of parallel associations and titles within the Igbo community, calling for reconciliation and unity among the different groups.

Addressing traders specifically, the monarch warned against exploiting consumers through excessive price increases or engaging in the sale of fake goods, which he described as detrimental to both buyers and sellers.

“You must not take advantage of the people by inflating prices or selling substandard products. Fairness in trade is essential for trust and lasting relationships,” he cautioned.

In his remarks, Eze Ndigbo, Ifeanyi Achiever pledged the loyalty of the Igbo community in Ijesaland to the throne of the Owa Obokun Adimula.

Lauding Oba Haastrup’s leadership, Eze Achiever noted that peace and rapid transformation had characterised Ijesaland since the monarch’s installation and enthronement.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has announced that airstrikes carried out by Operation Hadin Kai neutralised more than 15 terrorists in Borno State.

NAF spokesman, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, disclosed this in a statement, which revealed that the mission was executed on September 3, 2025.

According to Ejodame, the operation followed credible intelligence and surveillance which revealed a newly identified terrorist enclave west of Zuwa in the Sambisa general area.

“A carefully planned and executed air interdiction mission struck the hideouts harboring fighters and commanders responsible for recent hostilities around Bitta,” the statement read.

He added that the strikes destroyed key structures critical to the terrorists’ operations, crippling their capacity to launch further attacks.

Ejodame further stressed that the successful air interdiction serves to support efforts of ground troops in joint counter terrorism operations aimed at dismantling terrorist networks in the North-East.

Yobe State Government plans to establish four remand homes in some local government areas of the state aimed at reducing overcrowding in the existing custodial and correctional centres.

The State Commissioner for Sports, Social and Community Development, Barma Shattima, who stated this, also said that the four additional remand homes and custodial centre for child suspects who are awaiting trial would be established in Damaturu, Nguru, Gashua and Geidam towns.

He noted that the Potiskum remand home was the only functional home in the state as the ones in Nguru and Gashua were dilapidated.

He added that the proposed remand homes would offer inmates access to education, vocational training and other resources to help them become productive citizens upon release.

The commissioner lamented that the state government is spending over N14 million annually on the maintenance of the Potiskum remand home.

Insecurity: Declare national emergency – Northern Elders tell Tinubu

The Deputy Director General, Northern Elders Forum, Salisu Mohammed, says the State of insecurity in the North and Nigeria as a whole is at a point where president Bola Tinubu should declares a national emergency.

Mohammed made this call on Thursday, while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.

He stated that insecurity in the north has now drained into insecurity in Nigeria, adding that the best way to tackle it is to take the it as a national emergency that requires drastic handling.

“The position of Northern elders in the state of insecurity in the North and especially the whole country, is such that Mr President should declare national emergency, not just in the North.

“What we are saying is that insecurity in the North has now metastasized into insecurity in Nigeria, and therefore the best way to tackle it should be a declaration of National emergency that requires more drastic handling.

“This will require all societal approach, the engagement of citizens, not just Armed Forces, police and security apparatus, because the security architecture of the country has been overwhelmed,” he said.

Wike distribute fertilizers at subsidized rate to FCT farmers

Farmers from the six area councils of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, will enjoy 50 percent subsidy on fertilizers.

This was disclosed by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike during the distribution of fertilisers to farmers.

On Thursday in Abuja, 550 metric tonnes of fertilisers ranging from conventional NPK, granular urea, NPK gel, to urea gel fertilisers were distributed to farmers by the minister.

The distribution was done by Wike’s Chief of Staff, Chidi Amadi, on behalf of the minister.

“This initiative underscores our firm commitment to food security, agricultural revitalisation, and the welfare of our people. As the FAO has emphasised, food insecurity threatens dignity, stability, and peace.

“In view of this, and in alignment with Mr President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, the FCTA has institutionalised this annual support scheme to ease production costs and enhance yields.

“The timing of this exercise is deliberate – coinciding with the farming season – to ensure that farmers can access inputs when they are most needed,” he said.

With the commencement of the distribution, the Minister cautioned against diverting the fertilizers because it must get to the real farmers who will help boost food production and security in the area councils.

Stressing that fertilizer distribution to farmers was not enough, the Minister disclosed that the FCT Administration will collaborated with international bodies to enhance agronomic practices.

He disclosed that the FCTA would collaborate with International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, the Japan International Cooperation Agency, the Leventis Foundation, and the World Bank for capacity building.

Tinubu’s Europe vacation proof he shouldn’t be re-elected – Sam Amadi

Former Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s trip to Europe for a ‘working vacation’.

Amadi said it demonstrates the President lacks the stamina for the demands of the presidency.

DAILY POST reported that the Presidency, in a statement signed by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced that Tinubu departed Abuja on September 4 to begin a 10-day working vacation in Europe as part of his 2025 annual leave.

According to the statement, the president will spend the period between France and the United Kingdom before returning to Nigeria.

In a post on X on Thursday, Amadi said the President and his team were making a case against his re-election.

“The president and his team continue to make a strong case why he should not be reelected.

“He has no strength for the hard work required for that office now. He loves, and probably needs, a lot of rest,” Amadi wrote.
