A tragic incident unfolded at the popular Oil Mill Market in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, leaving two persons dead following alleged police gunfire.

According to eyewitness accounts, the crisis began after a disagreement between a wheelbarrow pusher, identified simply as Mallam, and a trader at the bustling market. The altercation reportedly escalated when Mallam’s brother allegedly stabbed the trader in the chest, throwing the area into chaos.

In a bid to restore calm and disperse the growing crowd, police officers at the scene were said to have fired warning shots into the air. However, in the process, two innocent bystanders were reportedly struck by bullets, resulting in their deaths.

The incident has sparked tension within the market community, with traders and residents calling for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Authorities are yet to release an official statement on the matter.

Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has revealed that he is unsure about securing the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 general elections. Obi spoke candidly about the uncertainties surrounding his political journey and ongoing coalition discussions. He noted that while many have questioned his chances within the ADC, there are no guarantees. “I’ve been asked how certain I am that the ADC will give me the ticket. The truth is, I cannot be sure. What matters most is our commitment to a shared cause,” he said.

This decision upholds Morocco's appeal following the chaotic events in the match.

Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match. Morocco is therefore crowned Africa’s 2025 champion on green tapis (3–0)

Jehovah’s Witnesses have introduced a notable shift in their long-standing stance on bl+od transfusions, now allowing members to use their own stored bl+od during medical procedures. Under the updated policy, members can have their bl+od removed, preserved, and later reinfused, particularly in planned s¥rgeries. However, the religious group maintains its strict prohibition against receiving bl+od from others. Gerrit Lösch, a member of the group’s leadership, said the decision reflects personal responsibility, noting that “each Christian must decide for himself how his bl+od will be used in medical and s¥rgical care.” Jehovah’s Witnesses, known for their door-to-door evangelism, say their core belief remains unchanged, citing biblical teachings that instruct followers to “abstain from bl+od.” The group has around 144,000 members in the UK and about nine million globally. Despite the adjustment, critics, especially former members, argue the change falls short. Mitch Melo...
