He commended the people of Borno for their resilience and support for security agencies, assuring them of his administration's continued investment in security and community-based vigilance.

"WHEN A WICKED PERSON D!ES, PEOPLE REJOICE NOT BECAUSE OF DEATH ITSELF, BUT BECAUSE THE OPPRESSION HAS ENDED." - TAMBARI JACOB, TO LATE SENATOR BARRY MPIGI

Social media commentator Tambari Jacob has come under heavy criticism following a controversial post he made shortly after news broke of the death of Senator Barry Mpigi. In the post, which quickly sparked widespread reactions online, Jacob made remarks suggesting that people often rejoice when the wicked die — a statement many interpreted as a reference to the late senator. The comment triggered backlash, with several users describing it as insensitive and disrespectful, especially given the timing. Critics accused him of lacking empathy and failing to show proper regard for the deceased. Tambari Jacob, known for his outspoken and often polarizing views, has previously faced public scrutiny over his commentary style and the strong positions he frequently takes on national issues.

A Ugandan pastor, David Ochieng has abandoned his ministerial work after hitting a huge sum of money through sports betting. Local media reports that he won 100 million UGX (N21 million) and decided to shutdown his church thereby leaving members in disbelief and confusion. When he realised that he is now 100 million shillings richer, he closed down the building and left members of his congregation stranded when they came for midweek service. Members of the church who visited the premises were shocked when they saw that the gate was locked and did not know what to do. The clergyman was contacted and he confessed that the reason he chose to work in the vineyard of God was strictly to earn income to survive and not because he was called. Ochieng further described the winning as a blessing from God and a swift way to get him out of poverty he was in because he could not sustain himself with money from his poor congregation.
