The Sokoto State Police Command has arrested about 20 persons over a protest demanding the release of detained Islamic cleric, Dahiru Barewa, which allegedly turned violent in parts of Sokoto metropolis.

The protesters were arrested after some youths reportedly blocked roads, staged demonstrations and allegedly attacked security personnel while demanding Barewa’s release from custody.

The spokesperson for the Sokoto State Police Command, DSP Ahmed Rufai, confirmed the arrests on Tuesday, saying the suspects had been charged to court.

‘About 20 persons were arrested in connection with the protest, and they have been charged to court,’ Rufai said.

The protest followed a court order directing the re-arrest and remand of Barewa, also known as Mai Barewa, over allegations that he threatened to kill Islamic scholars Sheikh Musa Ayyuba Lukuwa and Malam Murtala Bello Assada.

The allegations reportedly stemmed from videos circulated on social media in which Barewa was allegedly seen making threats against the two clerics.

Barewa was said to have linked his alleged comments against Sheikh Lukuwa to remarks attributed to the cleric concerning the parents of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), while also expressing disagreements with some authorities.

Assada had earlier reported the alleged threats to security agencies, claiming Barewa had repeatedly threatened him and Lukuwa in different videos.

Police said security operatives intervened after the protesters allegedly became unruly and attempted to forcefully remove Barewa from custody.

The command urged residents to remain calm and law-abiding, stressing that grievances should be addressed through lawful means.

The federal government’s fight against corruption, economic and financial crimes took a whole new dimension from Thursday, October 19, 2023 when Ola Olukoyede took over the reins of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s leadership.

Right from the outset, the past 34 months have continuously witnessed reforms and a realignment of the Commission’s operations in sync with its mandate for enhanced professionalism and better enforcement and preventive outcomes.

Within this period, EFCC’s efforts, pursuant to its mandate have strongly taken root in the deployment of the anti-graft fight to catalyse the national economy, enthrone transactional credit system, amplify preventive strategies, drive enforcement on the wheels of the rule of law and reinvent the country’s image.

Olukoyede’s work plan towards the actualisation of the Commission’s mandate translated to resilient enforcement, institutional reforms, enhanced prosecution, better preventive frameworks, massive asset recovery, restitutions to fraud victims, stronger collaboration on both the local and international fronts and standout upshots on all fronts.

For starters, the Commission broke its 23 years monetary asset recovery record in both national and foreign currencies in just 34 months of Olukoyede’s leadership. The same in fixed assets.

Recovery in naira hit a record high of ?1, 233,612,040,411.11, (One Trillion, Two Hundred and Thirty-three Billion, Six Hundred and Twelve Million, Forty Thousand, Four Hundred and Eleven Naira, Eleven Kobo).

In dollars, it hit an all-time high of $684,478,457,32, (Six Hundred and Eighty-four Million, Four Hundred and Seventy-eight Thousand, Four Hundred and Fifty-Seven Dollars, Thirty-two cents).

In Pound Sterling, the recovery hit £373,905.78, (Three Hundred and Seventy-three Thousand, Nine Hundred and five Pounds, Seventy-eight Shillings) while it rose to pound 9,343,803.66 (Nine Million, Three Hundred and Forty-three Thousand, Eight Hundred and three Euros, Sixty-six Cents) in euros.

Out of the naira recovery, approximately ?397.26billion, representing 33 percent was made for the federal government, while the larger chunk of ?836.34billion, representing 67 percent was made for ministries, departments and agencies, state revenue services, corporate entities, Nigerian and foreign victims of fraud.

In setting another record, the Commission secured the forfeiture of 10,053 fixed assets under interim and final court orders within the period. These included 8,198 electronic items, 1,177 real-estate assets, 370 automobiles, 251 plots of land, as well as schools, factories, hotels, shops, oil rigs, barges, machinery, ocean-going vessels and aircraft. And also a forfeiture of 102 tonnes of solid minerals.

On prosecution, the Commission broke yet another of its institutional record, securing 10,872 convictions out of 14,476 cases it filed in court, reflecting a measurable conviction-to-filing ratio of 75.1 per cent. In the first half of 2026 alone, the Commission recorded 1,370 convictions from 1,889 filings.

Faces to the convictions include former minister of power, Saleh Mamman, jailed 75 years for N33.8 billion fraud, former Managing Director, Nigerian Import Export Bank, NEXIM, Robert Orya, jailed 490 years for N2.4 billion fraud and Chukwunyere Nwabuoku, a former acting Accountant General of the Federation, jailed 72 years for N868.4 million Fraud.

Evidential to the Commission’s pursuit of complex and high-profile matters is that it is at the moment prosecuting about 45 high calibre individuals, consisting nine former governors, five former ministers, sixteen former heads of agencies and 13 private sector players for corruption.

The clear message from this, is that in 34 months, the Commission through enforcement and prosecution delivered a huge cleansing of the fiscal space, strengthened federal and sub-national revenue, returned working capital to institutions, companies and citizens, supported financial-market integrity, protected the extractive and digital economies, denied the corrupt and the fraudulent the enjoyment of the proceeds of their unlawful activities and burnished Nigeria’s image.

Beyond the numbers, the EFCC has demonstrated that recovery is only truly meaningful when its value is channelled to public good or returned to victims of fraud and indeed that the national impact of recovery is best felt when proceeds of crime are converted to productive social investment.

This found application in the conversion of the former NOK University, forfeited to the federal government to a Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, Kaduna State, resulting in a total of 1,909 students’ enrolment in the school in December 2025. Apart from opening up the space for more affordable tertiary education, the local economy of the university’s host community will be better energised for it. The news gets even cheerier as another high net worth private university has recently been forfeited to the federal government, through the EFCC. As the federal government has indicated, it will finish the outstanding infrastructure on the over 753 housing units the Commission handed over to it on May 20, 2025 and offer them for sale to the public. The forfeiture of the estate on December 2, 2024, situated on 150,500 square meters in Lokogoma District, Abuja, stands as the EFCC’s largest single asset recovery since its inception in 2003.

In line with Olukoyede’s pitch upon his confirmation by the Senate on October 18, 2003, that a transactional credit system was imperative for the country to stem the tide of corruption and lessen the negative impacts of cash-based economy and its physical currency dominance, the EFCC made a key contribution in the federal government’s establishment of Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CREDICORP) alongside the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) in August 2024. Both agencies had their start-up capital of N50 billion apiece, drawn from proceeds of crime, recovered by the EFCC. Further funding of the two agencies was subsequently approved in 2026 at also N50 billion each from recovered proceeds of crime by the Commission.

Again, beyond the numbers, NELFUND has disclosed that it has disbursed over N322 billion in loans to more than 1.6 million students, while the CREDICORP said it has disbursed over N37 billion in consumer credit to more than 200,000 civil servants.

The work of the Commission within the period equally contributed to improving the integrity of Nigeria’s financial space. The sustained enforcement in money laundering, terrorist financing, asset freezing, virtual assets and other higher-risk sectors within the period, formed part of Nigeria’s wider national effort at implementing the Financial Action Task Force, FATF, Anti-money Money Laundering and Counter- Terrorism framework that led to Nigeria’s removal from FATF’s Grey List in October 2025.

Olukoyede’s reform and restructuring that repositioned the EFCC in the past 34 months include new guidelines on arrest and bail, a review of the Commission’s sting operations, the establishment of the Department of Fraud Risk Assessment and Control, (FRAC), Security Department, Immigration and Visa Fraud Section, the EFCC 97.3 FM and Cybercrime Rapid Response Centre, (E-C2R2). The E-C2R2 is equipped with hotlines for 24hours uninhibited telephone access for members of the public to fill the Commission in on cyber-enabled financial crimes in both real time and static reporting. At the moment, nearly 60 percent of processes and operations of the EFCC have been digitized.

The Fraud Risk Assessment and Control, (FRAC), deserves a special mention. It is Olukoyede’s shot at corruption and financial crime prevention, which instantly become the Commission’s silver bullet in the examination of the systemic vulnerabilities that allow corruption to fester in MDAs.

The department identifies gaps and vulnerabilities that promote fraud in MDAs, assesses and analyses the identified gaps. It sets a threshold to mitigate the identified gaps and ensures that MDAs take proactive steps at preventing the occurrence of the identified risks through an effective project management mechanism.

It now implements the aspects of the Commission’s Corruption Prevention Strategies that deal with risk-based approaches in the fight against corruption, economic and financial crimes. It drives the Commission’s corruption and financial crime preventive measures that are tailored for budget monitoring and implementation in MDAs.

It focuses attention on the budgets of the three arms of government with real time monitoring and tracking of their allocations. With FRAC, the EFCC goes into MDAs and monitors in real time the implementation of their budgets and follows the trail of their allocations as the money is being released. With FRAC, the EFCC is no longer reactionary to incidences of corruption in MDAs. It blocks them from happening.

As part of his promotion of proactive deterrence, Olukoyede catalysed action on the establishment of Cybercrime Research Centre in the Commission’s New Academy in Giri, Gwagwalada Area Council of the FCT. The drive anchors in his desire to redirect the youth onto the path of ethical values and further entrench integrity in Nigeria’s financial space.

As a hub for advanced research, training, and capacity building in the fight against cybercrimes, the Centre will focus on the three key areas of Advanced Fraud Detection and Prevention; Youth Empowerment and Capacity Building and Technological Advancement and Resource Facility.

In the period under review, Olukoyede commissioned the Enugu and Ilorin directorates and established new directorates in Ekiti, Anambra and Katsina states, which has significantly improved Nigerians’ access to the Commission.

Collaboration is central to Olukoyede’s successes. Locally, he prioritised partnership and synergy with other law-enforcement agencies, regulators, the judiciary, MDAs, and state revenue authorities.

At the sub regional level, he is currently a two-term President of the Network of National Anti-corruption Institutions in West Africa, NACIWA. As the rallying point of all anti-corruption institutions in the sub-region, NACIWA has become a crucial platform for regional dialogue on asset recovery, money laundering, other financial crimes enforcement and institutional strengthening in West Africa.

Beyond Africa, the EFCC under Olukoyede has forged strong bonds with the US, Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, foreign embassies, United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, INTERPOL and other international law-enforcement agencies.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Cross River Sector Command, says it has intensified preparations to ensure safer roads and reduction in road traffic crashes during the 2026 Ember Months.

The Sector Commander, Corps Commander Innocent Etuk, said this in a statement made available to newsmen in Calabar on Tuesday.

Etuk said that the command had deployed strategic measures to address increased vehicular movement, congestion and road user indiscipline during the period.

He said the command has also strengthened special intervention patrols along major highways, traffic corridors, crash-prone black spots and other strategic locations across the state.

According to him, patrol teams have also been strategically deployed to enhance monitoring, enforcement and prompt responses to emergencies throughout the Ember Months.

‘The command will focus its enforcement activities on dangerous driving, overloading, speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, use of mobile phones while driving and non-use of seat belts. Other infractions targeted include tyre-related offences, mechanically deficient vehicles, number plate violations and other unsafe practices capable of endangering lives on the highways,’ he said.

The sector commander said the command has equally strengthened collaboration with the state government, transport unions, security agencies, emergency responders, traditional institutions and local authorities.

He said that the partnership would enhance coordinated traffic management, intelligence sharing, emergency response and effective intervention during the festive period.

‘The command will intensify public enlightenment campaigns through radio, television, social media, motor parks, town hall meetings, road shows and other platforms,’ Etuk said.

He added that personnel would be deployed to strategic intersections, entry and exit points, busy traffic corridors, motor parks and other locations expected to witness increased vehicular activities. I charge personnel to remain professional, disciplined, civil and responsive because our operation is aimed at saving lives, preventing crashes and ensuring seamless movement. Motorists are also advised to plan journeys, avoid night travel where possible, rest adequately before long trips and report dangerous driving by calling the FRSC toll-free line, 122,’ he said.

Etuk urged motorists and other road users to comply with traffic regulations and exercise caution throughout the Ember Months to ensure safer journeys across the state.

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have foiled an ambush by suspected Boko Haram terrorists and dismantled several makeshift camps in Biu Local Government Area of Borno State.

The Acting Military Information Officer, Headquarters Joint Task Force North East, Capt. Mohammed Goni, confirmed the operation in a statement on Monday.

Goni said troops of 27 Task Force Brigade, Sector 2, encountered the terrorists while conducting a routine patrol along the Buni Gari-Buratai axis on Monday.

He said the troops responded decisively to the ambush, forcing the terrorists to withdraw from the area in disarray.

According to him, reinforcements were subsequently deployed to clear the ambush site and search the surrounding area.

‘During the operation, troops discovered and dismantled several makeshift camps assessed to have been used by the terrorists as temporary staging and hideout locations,’ Goni said.

He disclosed that the troops recovered a motorcycle, bicycles, a magazine, ammunition and rocket-propelled grenade bombs during the operation.

Goni said no soldier was killed or injured in the encounter, although some military vehicles sustained damage.

‘Notwithstanding the damage, the troops remained operational and successfully completed the mission,’ he said.

The military spokesman said the operation demonstrated the troops’ determination to deny terrorist elements freedom of movement and disrupt their activities across the theatre.

He said the security situation in the area remained calm but unpredictable, as troops continued aggressive patrols and coordinated security operations.

Goni urged residents to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious persons, movements or activities to security agencies.

He stressed that timely information from members of the public remained critical to efforts to detect, disrupt and neutralise terrorist activities in the North-East.

Governor Hyacinth Alia has described allegations by Mr Peter Obi that he was prevented from accessing victims of the 2025 attack on Yelewata as a desperate attempt to drag the governor and the Benue Government into what could be an internal political matter within the NDC.

Alia said this while dismissing claim by Obi who is the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) that he was blocked from accessing Yelewata by thugs working for the state government.

The chief press secretary to the governor, Mr Tersoo Kula, made the government’s position known in a statement issued on Tuesday in Makurdi.

Kula described Obi’s allegation as a desperate attempt to drag the governor and the Benue Government into what could be an internal political matter within the NDC.

He said the state government had no knowledge of the alleged incident and questioned whether Obi actually visited Makurdi, citing what he described as his antecedents of making untrue claims against the state.

The CPS said Obi was not a threat to Alia, adding that even if he were, security agencies were responsible for handling security concerns, rather than thugs.

According to him, Alia is a peace-loving clergyman who is opposed to thuggery and whose administration does not engage, patronise or deploy thugs as instruments of governance or security.

He said the administration remained committed to the rule of law and relied on recognised security agencies to maintain peace and order across the state.

Kula also questioned the failure to formally inform relevant security authorities about Obi’s movement, saying such a visit ordinarily required coordination with the Commissioner of Police and other security agencies.

He urged Obi to resolve any disagreement or internal political challenge within the NDC rather than attributing such issues to the state government.

‘The Alia administration will not be distracted by attempts to manufacture political controversies where none exists,’ Kula said.

He said the government’s attention remained focused on good governance, strengthening security and improving the welfare of Benue residents.

Kula urged the public to disregard allegations linking the state government to any incident involving Obi.

‘Benue remains open to legitimate visitors, political actors and all Nigerians who come in peace,’ he said.

The legal team representing the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has rejected a petition filed before the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal challenging Governor Ademola Adeleke’s victory in the August 15 governorship election.

A senior member of the legal team, Adekunle Adegoke, said the petition was not authorised by the APC governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, or the party.

Adegoke disclosed on Monday that the legal team had advised Oyebamiji against challenging the election outcome after reviewing the circumstances surrounding the poll.

He said the lawyers met with Oyebamiji and other party leaders shortly after the election to assess possible legal options but concluded that approaching the tribunal was not the best course of action.

‘Right from the second day after the election, the legal team, led by about four Senior Advocates of Nigeria, advised our client that, in the circumstances, the best course of action was not to go to the tribunal,’ Adegoke said.

He explained that the decision was taken despite the team’s knowledge of possible grounds that could have been used to challenge the result.

‘It is not that the election was entirely free or that there were no malpractices. There may have been valid grounds to challenge the result, but we decided to allow the populace to rest,’ he said.

Adegoke also questioned the legitimacy of any petition filed in Oyebamiji’s name, saying the APC candidate had already congratulated Adeleke after the election.

‘Our client willingly, without pressure or duress, congratulated Governor Adeleke. Do you now think it would be legitimate, or honourable, for Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji to turn around and authorise the filing of a petition?’ he asked.

The lawyer described the tribunal document as unauthorised and accused individuals behind it of presenting themselves as APC lawyers without approval from the party or its candidate.

‘I want it to be on record that the APC legal team has denounced the bundle of papers filed by some individuals masquerading as APC lawyers. It was not authorised by the APC as a party or by its candidate,’ he said.

Another APC chieftain, Adebayo Adedamola, also denied involvement in any petition against Adeleke’s victory, saying he had already endorsed the governor.

The controversy followed the display of two petitions at the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Osogbo on Monday.

One petition, marked EPT/OS/GOV/01/2026, listed Oyebamiji and the APC as petitioners against Adeleke, the Accord Party and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The second petition, marked EPT/OS/GOV/02/2026, was filed by Adebayo Olugbenga Adedamola against Adeleke, INEC and the Accord Party.

Former Ekiti State Governor and ex-Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Kayode Fayemi, has accused African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar of using his fuel subsidy promise as a political strategy ahead of the 2027 election.

Fayemi made the claim during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time, where he compared Atiku’s subsidy proposal to the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket strategy in the 2023 election.

According to him, the promise to restore subsidy was designed to appeal to Nigerians who have been affected by rising fuel prices and the cost-of-living crisis rather than being based on an economic framework.

‘My take on that is that Atiku’s proposal of subsidy is politically equivalent to our own Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2023. It’s a political strategy. It’s not an economic construct,’ Fayemi said.

However, Fayemi admitted that the proposal could gain support among Nigerians struggling with the impact of subsidy removal, noting that many citizens are more concerned about survival than the technical arguments surrounding subsidy policy.

He said vulnerable Nigerians are focused on issues such as the cost of food, transportation, education and healthcare.

Fayemi maintained his support for fuel subsidy removal, saying he had advocated for the policy for years, including during his time as chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum.

‘I was and I remain an advocate of fuel subsidy removal. As chairman of the governors’ forum, I spent four years in this battle,’ he said.

The former governor also said President Bola Tinubu inherited groundwork on subsidy removal from the previous administration but criticised the manner in which the policy was implemented.

According to Fayemi, state governors had earlier worked with the Federal Government and the World Bank on a safety-net strategy aimed at protecting vulnerable Nigerians from the effects of subsidy removal.

He argued that Atiku was capitalising on the hardship Nigerians are currently facing.

‘I believe that’s what Vice President Atiku is taking advantage of. The vulnerable segment of the population is still hard done by,’ Fayemi said.

Fayemi added that poverty and inequality remain major drivers of insecurity, saying political leaders must focus on policies that improve the living conditions of ordinary Nigerians.

The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has announced that, beginning next week, persons found buying goods from traders operating illegally on roads, medians, setbacks, walkways and other unauthorised public spaces will be arrested and prosecuted in accordance with section 151 subsection 2 of the Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection Law 2017.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, disclosed this at the Authority’s headquarters on Tuesday.

He said the measure formed part of a renewed enforcement strategy to curb illegal trading, indiscriminate waste disposal and the obstruction of public infrastructure across Lagos State.

Gbadegesin explained that enforcement would no longer focus only on illegal traders as people who sustain such activities by purchasing goods from them would also be held accountable under the relevant provisions of the Law.

‘The law does not only prohibit illegal street trading. It also makes it an offence to buy goods exposed or offered for sale in prohibited places. From next week, anyone found buying from traders operating on roadsides, medians, walkways, setbacks or other unauthorised spaces will be arrested, alongside the traders, and prosecuted in accordance with the law,’ he said.

He added that a person convicted of the offence could be liable to a fine of N90,000, imprisonment for six months, or both.

Gbadegesin said that illegal roadside and median markets frequently generate waste that is dumped in drains, on roads and in other public spaces, thereby obstructing drainage channels, worsening traffic conditions and creating risks to public health.

‘Our objective is to stop the cycle that allows illegal trading and indiscriminate waste disposal to return after enforcement operations. Traders occupy public spaces because people continue to patronise them. Buyers must understand that their actions sustain the problem and that they are also accountable under the law,’ he said.

The LAWMA boss noted that the Authority was simultaneously strengthening waste collection in inner streets and communities surrounding previously cleared dumping hotspots. He stressed that identified service gaps would be addressed, while deliberate dumping, redumping and patronage of illegal markets would attract enforcement.

He urged residents and businesses to patronise recognised markets and use approved waste collection channels, noting that personal convenience must not come at the expense of public health, environmental sanitation, road safety and the orderly use of the city’s shared spaces.

Gbadegesin reaffirmed LAWMA’s commitment to sustained enforcement, stakeholder engagement and improved waste collection services as part of the drive to eliminate open dumping and achieve a cleaner Lagos.

Thousands of Nigerians seeking routine United States visa services will now have to process their applications through Lagos after the US Embassy in Abuja stopped handling routine visa applications.

The change, which took effect on August 1, 2026, means that routine visa services are now available only at the US Consulate General in Lagos.

The US Embassy, in a fresh advisory, said applicants who already had appointments scheduled in Abuja would still be attended to, although some appointments could be moved to new dates.

Applicants affected by the adjustment have been advised to check their emails for updated appointment information.

The embassy stated that those with valid and unused Machine Readable Visa (MRV) fee receipts can use them to schedule new appointments at the Lagos consulate.

The advisory read: ‘Routine visa services are only available at Consulate General Lagos. Effective August 1, 2026, U.S. Embassy Abuja no longer processes routine visa applications.’

The development means Nigerians outside Lagos who previously relied on the Abuja embassy for routine visa interviews may now have to make additional travel arrangements to complete their applications.

However, the embassy clarified that existing appointments would be honoured, although some applicants may receive revised appointment dates.

The move affects routine visa categories, while applicants have been directed to consult the official US visa appointment platform for updated information on services, locations and operating hours.

The US Consulate General in Lagos now becomes the primary centre for routine US visa processing in Nigeria.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Osun Sector Command, has sought collaboration with traditional rulers and community leaders in the state to reduce road accidents.

The Sector Commander, Mr Sunday Adebayo, stated this during his visit to the Olufi of Gbonganland, Oba Adetoyese Oyeniyi, on Monday in Gbongan.

Adebayo, who was accompanied by the Gbongan Unit Commander, Dr Jude Odinfono, said traditional rulers have a significant role to play in influencing public behaviour and promoting safety within their communities.

He said that 220 road traffic accidents were recorded in the state last year involving 300 vehicles, with 60 persons killed and several others injured.

The FRSC commander attributed many of the accidents to dangerous driving, speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, distracted driving, route violation and overloading.

‘We are appealing to traditional chiefs and members of the Olufi-in-Council to use their influence to discourage dangerous driving practices and promote a culture of safety among road users.

‘We are equally advising passengers to speak up when drivers conveying them drive recklessly, speeding excessively or suspected to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

‘Passengers should insist that such drivers discontinue the journey and promptly report the matter to the nearest FRSC patrol team or the police for appropriate intervention,’ Adebayo said.

He reiterated the corps’ warning that ‘speeding thrills but kills faster,’ while urging motorists to prioritise safety over speed and convenience.

Adebayo, however, said collective responsibility and community-based intervention were critical to reducing road traffic crashes and saving lives on the roads.

In his response, Oba Adetoyese Oyeniyi, the Olufi of Gbongan, acknowledged the importance of the corps’ road safety mandate, pledging the institution’s support towards promoting road safety and protecting lives within Gbonganland and its environs.

Oyeniyi, represented by the Balogun of Gbonganland, Chief Quasim Onikepe, noted that the visit would further provide opportunity to strengthen the relationship between the corps and traditional institution.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a mini library was inaugurated by the sector command for officers in Gbongan Unit Command, an initiative of Dr Jude Odinfono, Gbongan Unit Commander.
