The Zazzau Emirate has prohibited district heads from holding dual positions or receiving two salaries while serving as traditional rulers.

His Royal Highness, the Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Ahmad Nuhu Bamalli, announced this on Tuesday morning during a Sallah homage visit by the district heads.

The Emir stated that the Kaduna State Government has issued a directive requiring all district heads who also hold positions in government agencies to choose one – either resign from their government job or relinquish their traditional title.

He emphasized that non-compliance with this order would result in disciplinary action, including the return of any salaries previously received from the government.

Furthermore, the Emir of Zazzau urged district heads and village chiefs to remain vigilant on security issues. He noted that although there has been a decline in security challenges, particularly in local government areas like Igabi, due to the Kaduna State Government’s peace negotiations with bandits, continuous monitoring of community affairs remains essential.

In his address, Kaduna State Governor Malam Uba Sani, represented by the Jarman Zazzau, warned district heads against unauthorized allocation of government lands. He stressed that the government would no longer tolerate such practices.

The meeting was attended by approximately 80 district heads from the Zazzau Emirate, along with other prominent figures from the Emirate.

Trump signs executive order targeting ticket scalping

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order clamping down on ticket touting and live event pricing, with American entertainer Kid Rock at his side.

The order is said to have sought to prevent unscrupulous middlemen from profiting off reselling tickets for concerts and other events at an enormous mark-up.

It mandates the US Attorney General and the Treasury Secretary to use all legal means to stamp out soaring price gouging, and calls on the Federal Trade Commission to ensure price transparency at all
stages of the ticket-purchase process, including the secondary ticketing market.

“You can buy a ticket for $100. By the time you check out, it’s $170,” Kid Rock said.

The “Born Free” singer, who appeared with Trump on the presidential campaign trail in 2024, added that due to “bots” tickets were being re-listed for sometimes a 400-500 per cent mark-up.

The administration of Joe Biden also targeted touts, suing concert booking website Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation Entertainment last year over monopoly allegations.

In a statement, Live Nation, which has denied monopoly allegations, said it supports Trump’s order, and called for enforcement.

An Israeli airstrike on Tuesday killed four people in Beirut’s southern suburbs, including a Hezbollah official.

The Israeli military identified the deceased official, Hassan Bdeir, as both a member of Hezbollah’s military wing and Iran’s Quds Force. They stated he had been assisting Hamas militants in planning what they described as “a significant and imminent terrorist attack against Israeli civilians”.

Hezbollah confirmed Bdeir’s death, noting he was killed alongside his son, who was also a member of the organisation.

A Lebanese security source told Reuters that Bdeir served as a mid-ranking commander with particular responsibility for Palestinian affairs.

Hezbollah parliamentarian Ibrahim Moussawi, who visited the bombed site, condemned the attack as “a major and severe aggression that has escalated the situation to an entirely different level”. He urged the Lebanese government to “activate the highest level of diplomacy to find solutions”.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar maintained that Bdeir represented “a real and immediate threat”, adding: “We expect Lebanon to take action to uproot terrorist organisations operating within its borders against Israel.”

Natasha: Akpabio, Yahaya Bello’s conspiracy has run into problem – Odinkalu

Former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Professor Chidi Odinkalu, has suggested that the alleged conspiracy between Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello has hit an insurmountable obstacle.

Odinkalu, in a post on his X handle, claimed that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has become a significant problem for Akpabio and Bello.

The statement came after Akpoti-Uduaghan received an overwhelming welcome from supporters in Kogi State on Tuesday – despite an existing government ban on rallies and processions.

Supporters from Kogi Central’s five local government areas gathered early in Ihima, Okehi LGA, to welcome the embattled PDP lawmaker.

Reacting to the massive crowd that turned out for the Kogi senator, Odinkalu stated that Akpoti-Uduaghan achieved electoral success without resorting to rigging.

He said: “In Kogi State, the criminal conspiracy of @Senator_Akpabio & @OfficialGYBKogi has run into an irrepressible problem. The name of that problem is @NatashaAkpoti. This woman won an election without rigging, something that neither Akpabio nor Yahaya Bello can do. You see!”
