New research reveals alarming calls for Donald Trump, Elon Musk’s assassination

A new study conducted by the Network Contagion Research Institute, NCRI, has revealed a sharp rise in violent political rhetoric, including calls for the assassination of public figures—most notably President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

The report alleges that such assassination rhetoric is becoming increasingly normalised within the United States, particularly among individuals aligned with the political left. According to Fox News, the NCRI report found that a growing number of Americans are now willing to justify the killing of public figures.

Joel Finkelstein, the lead author of the report, told Fox News Digital on Monday that “what was formerly taboo culturally has become acceptable”.

“We are witnessing a clear shift: glorification, increased attempts, and changing norms are all converging into what we define as ‘assassination culture’,” he said.

The NCRI study traces the phenomenon back to the assassination of Brian Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of UnitedHealthcare, by Luigi Mangione in December 2024. What followed, according to the researchers, was a viral wave of memes that transformed Mangione into a folk hero.

The study contends that these memes have inspired copycat behaviour, with new threats now targeting other individuals associated with wealth and conservative politics.

DAILY POST reports that the Trump administration continues to face staunch opposition owing to policies perceived as unfavourable by its critics. A nationwide protest took place on Saturday, during which demonstrators demanded that President Trump relinquish control of the nation’s affairs.

Tuface’s lover Natasha Osawaru replaced as Deputy Leader after shake-up in Edo Assembly

Blessing Agbebaku and Maria Edeko on Monday retained their positions as the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker of the Edo State of Assembly after a minor leadership shuffle.

DAILY POST reports that the duo who are members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, retained their positions following the implementation of a letter sent to the House by the state leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Agbebaku who read the letter addressed to him by the acting state chairman of APC, Jarret Tenebe, however, announced a minor change in the principal officers of the House.

Charity Aiguobarueghian, PDP, Ovia North-East I, Natasha Osawaru Irobosa, PDP, Egor, and Yekini Idaiye, PDP, Akoko-Edo I, were removed as the Majority Leader, Deputy Leader and Chief Whip of the House, respectively.

Natasha Osawuru is the lover of singer Tuface.

The trio were replaced with Ibhamawu Jonathan Aigbokhan, APC, Esan West as Majority Leader, Addeh Emakhu Isibor, APC, Esan North-East I, and Lecky Hussein Mustapha, APC, Etsako West I as Deputy Leader and Chief Whip of the House, respectively.

The position of the Deputy Chief Whip earlier given to Richard Edosa, Oredo West constituency, was eventually cancelled as there was no such position in the legislature.

The letter dated April 7, 2025, titled ‘Nomination of Principal Officers of the Edo State House of Assembly’, was signed by Tenebe, state acting chairman of APC and Lawrence Okah, the secretary.

Parts of the letter read: “We write to refer you to our earlier correspondence dated 14th March, 2025 to your office notifying you of the majority status of our party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the Edo State House of Assembly.

“Consequently, we hereby forward to you the party’s nomination of principal officers’ position in the House.

“Majority Leader, Hon Ibhamawu Jonathan Aigbokhan, Esan West constituency, Deputy Majority Leader, Hon Emakhu Addeh Isibor, Esan North-East I, and Chief Whip, Hon Lecky Hussein Mustapha, Etsako West constituency.”

The majority leader and deputy majority leader are from Edo Central Senatorial District while the Chief Whip, Lecky Hussein Mustapha, is from Edo North Senatorial District.

Recall that Richard Edosa was the only lawmaker elected on the platform of the Labour Party but he recently defected to the APC.

The Speaker, Agbebaku disclosed that the PDP would also bring its list of nominees of principal officers to the House.

He noted that his position as the Speaker and that of the Deputy Speaker were not guaranteed in the ongoing leadership change in the House.

One dead, houses razed as Warri boils following INEC’s delineation of constituency

Following the recent delineation of Warri Constituency by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, hoodlums have shot one person dead and razed several houses.

The incident occurred on Sunday night on Odion Road, Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State, DAILY POST reports.

Our correspondent, who has been monitoring the situation in the town, reports that soldiers, police, and other security operatives have been deployed to the area to prevent further breakdown of law and order.

There have also been protests by some Itsekiri youths who feel they have been politically shortchanged by INEC.

A prominent Itsekiri chief, Eyewuoma, in a statement this morning, vowed that the Itsekiri people would seek redress using every legal means at their disposal.

According to the delineation by INEC, the Itsekiri appear to have lost out significantly, and this has not been well received.

The delineation was concluded following a Supreme Court ruling.

With the new political arrangement, the Urhobos of Warri and the Ijaws seem to have benefitted more politically.

There are fears that this political settlement may cause further crises between the Ijaws and Itsekiris, as it seemed that the man killed was an Ijaw man. On the other hand, it may also lead to another crisis between Urhobos and Itsekiri.

DAILY POST recalls that INEC presented its report on the delineation of wards and polling units in the Warri Federal Constituency, Delta State, to the Urhobo, Itsekiri, and Ijaw ethnic nationalities last Friday.

The report was presented to community representatives by the State Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC, Sir Etekamba Udo Umoren, at a stakeholders’ meeting held in Asaba, the state capital.

The report was received on behalf of the Urhobo, Itsekiri, and Ijaw ethnic nationalities by Chief Victor Okumagba, Dr. Andrew Igban, and Dr. Joe Bisina, respectively.

INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, who spoke during the ceremony, noted that this was the fifth engagement meeting with stakeholders since the Supreme Court ruling delivered on 2 December 2022, which mandated INEC to carry out the delineation of wards and polling units in the three local government areas of the federal constituency.

Professor Yakubu, represented by INEC’s National Commissioner supervising Cross River, Delta, and Edo States, Professor Rhoda Gumus, said that the presence of the stakeholders demonstrated their commitment to democratic principles and their belief in INEC as an unbiased body.

“We recall that in our last engagement meeting on the 8th of July, 2024, in Warri Federal Constituency, we concluded all discussions with stakeholders and promised to commence the fieldwork of the wards in the constituency. The Commission carried out the exercise between the 10th and 27th of July, 2024,” he said.

“The entire people of Warri Federal Constituency played their role as committed citizens,” he added.

He also expressed gratitude to the Governor of Delta State for providing the enabling environment for the exercise.

In his remarks, the State Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC, Sir Etekamba Udo Umoren, described the event as significant because it reflected the determination, resilience, and unity of purpose of all concerned to move beyond the Supreme Court ruling of 2nd December 2022 to the present stage.

“The Report of the fieldwork is a critical cornerstone towards the implementation of the Supreme Court-ordered delineation of wards and polling units in Warri Federal Constituency, Delta State,” he said.

Umoren added that before arriving at this point, several stakeholders’ meetings had been held, including one on the 15th of February, 2023, followed by an expanded stakeholders’ meeting in Asaba on the 21st of March, 2024, and another in Warri on the 8th of July, 2024, before the Commission commenced the fieldwork exercise from the 10th to the 27th of July, 2024.

A source from the ethnic nationalities disclosed the results of the report, stating that in Warri North, the Ijaws have 10 wards while the Itsekiris have 8; in Warri South West, the Ijaws have 15 wards, while the Itsekiris have 4; and in Warri South, the Ijaws have 3 wards out of the 20 wards, with the Urhobos of Warri having the majority.
