The Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, Gen. Christopher Musa, has welcomed the judgment of a Finnish court that sentenced Simon Ekpa to six years in prison for terrorism-related offences.

The Päijät-Häme District Court in Finland delivered the ruling, which Musa described as a significant step in the global fight against terrorism.

In a statement on Monday by the Director of Defence Information, Brig.-Gen. Tukur Gusau, the CDS said the verdict shows that individuals who incite or finance violence will be held accountable, regardless of their location.

He commended the Finnish authorities for ensuring justice and acknowledged the role of Nigerian security agencies, intelligence operatives, and diplomats in providing evidence that contributed to the conviction.

Musa pledged continued collaboration with international partners to dismantle terrorist networks and urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and support security agencies in the fight against insurgency and violent separatist movements.

Rivers: Atiku’s comments a call to anarchy – Felix Morka

The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Felix Morka has taken a swipe at former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar over his comments on the recent Rivers State local government polls.

Morka described the comments as reckless and a call to anarchy.

He stated this on Monday while responding to questions in an interview on Arise Television.

The APC spokesman dismissed Atiku’s claim that the election represented a travesty of democracy, insisting that his words carried no weight.

“It doesn’t hold any water because it’s simply a call to anarchy by a former vice president who is sulking, whose party showed nothing in that election, was a no show, didn’t perform, didn’t call out their members because they don’t have any members in that state,” Morka said.

According to him, Atiku’s words should not be taken seriously by the people of Rivers State.

Why Lagos should receive ‘exceptional’ infrastructure support from FG – Kalu Aja

Financial educator, Kalu Aja, has argued that Lagos State deserves special infrastructure support from the Federal Government.

Why Lagos should receive ‘exceptional’ infrastructure support from FG – Kalu Aja

Financial educator, Kalu Aja, has argued that Lagos State deserves special infrastructure support from the Federal Government.

Aja, in a post on his X handle on Tuesday, said Lagos holds more federal assets than any other state, including the Federal Capital Territory.

DAILY POST reports that President Bola Tinubu’s administration had on Monday released an infographic of the amount of projects spent per zone.

The administration claimed that no Nigerian is second class and that no region is left behind.

However, the government didn’t disclose the amount it spent on projects in Lagos, which is part of the southwest region, in its released infographics on project executed across regions.

Reacting in a post on X, Aja wrote: “I personally believe that Lagos State should receive exceptional infrastructure support from the Federal purse.

“Lagos State holds more federal assets than any other state, including the Federal Capital. If Lagos’ economy stalls, Nigeria’s GDP will also stall.

“I wouldn’t mind if 1% of the CAPEX is set aside to maintain these Legacy assets; it’s a rational argument that really is hard to counter. What is unacceptable is to seek to gaslight, confuse, and be downright childish.

“How can a president from Lagos State tell his citizens to ‘ignore Lagos’?

“I know the President didn’t say so, I know it’s his media aides again seeking to overdo.”

Rivers: Nigerian Judiciary aiding death of democracy – Fabiyi

Former Director, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential Campaign, Oladimeji Fabiyi, has said that Nigerian judiciary is aiding the death of democracy in the country.

Fabiyi made this allegation on Monday while responding to questions in an interview on Arise Television.

Reacting to the outcome of the just concluded local governments’ elections in Rivers State, Fabiyi said everything in the state, from the appointment of the Sole Administrator to the local governments’ elections, was completely illegal.

“First, I’d like to say that I am not in alignment with everything that happened in Rivers State.

“What happened in Rivers, you know, all these our entertainers. And you know, when there’s something they call script. It was a script.
“And then in PDP of today, we have two classes of people. There is a class of those who know what they are doing, and the class of those who don’t know what they are doing.

“We have to be serious in this country. Democracy is under serious threat. Everything in Rivers State in the last six months has been illegal, and we voiced it, we said it, that this is illegal.
“It’s just like when you lies, you need more lies to cover that lies. That’s exactly what’s happening in Rivers State.

“The illegality from the appointment of the Sole Administrator to what has happened. What happened in Rivers State was completely illegitimate and full of illegality,” he lamented.
