SECURITY OPERATIVE IN LAGOS PRAISED FOR RETURNING CUSTOMER'S MISPLACED $9,100


A security operative, Adebanjo Samuel, has received widespread commendation after returning $9,100 mistakenly left behind by a customer at a First City Monument Bank (FCMB) branch in Marina, Lagos.

The incident occurred on May 25, 2026, while Adebanjo was on duty. His employer, Proton Security Service Limited, praised his honesty, describing the act as a reflection of the discipline, professionalism, and ethical values expected of its personnel.

To recognise his integrity, the company announced plans to host a special civic reception where Adebanjo will be formally honoured in the presence of colleagues, family members, industry stakeholders, and media representatives.

The Managing Director of Proton Security, Odebunmi Adekunmi, said Adebanjo’s conduct exemplifies the organisation’s core values, noting that true professionalism involves doing the right thing even when no one is watching.

Speaking on the recognition, Adebanjo said his decision to return the money was guided by principle rather than the amount involved. He explained that honesty and integrity were values instilled in him from a young age and should never be compromised under any circumstance.

Also reacting, the company’s Director of Business Development and Strategy, Olabisi Familusi, said the gesture goes beyond individual recognition, adding that it sends a positive message about integrity and reinforces trust in Nigeria’s private security industry.

According to him, Adebanjo’s actions serve as a reminder that character and honesty remain among the most valuable qualities a person can possess.

OGONI YOUTH EMBASSY F!RES BACK AT DR. FABEKE DOUGLAS, DEFENDS ENVIRONMENT MINISTER AND SUPPORT OGONI CLEAN-UP

Image
The Ogoni Youth Embassy, Babbe District in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State, has rejected calls by the Ogoni Liberation Initiative (OLI) for the resignation of the Honourable Minister of Environment over the ongoing Ogoni Clean-up Programme. In a press statement issued on Thursday, the group described the demand for the minister's resignation as "misplaced" and said it does not represent the views of many Ogoni youths and community members who have witnessed progress in the implementation of the clean-up exercise. According to the group, the Ogoni people have waited for environmental restoration for decades, and despite existing challenges, there are visible improvements through environmental remediation projects, water schemes, livelihood programmes, and institutional reforms. The Ogoni Youth Embassy argued that these achievements should be strengthened rather than undermined by what it described as campaigns capable of distracting those responsibl...

PRESIDENT TINUBU DIRECTS EFCC TO VACATE COURT ORDER FREEZING OSUN STATE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTS

Image
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to immediately approach the court to vacate the order freezing the accounts of the Osun State Government and to discontinue related actions. He stated that he felt “deeply embarrassed” not by the EFCC’s exercise of its mandate under a court order, but by the timing of the action. “Every action taken by an institution of State, especially at the Federal level, is always credited to me, as the President, even when I may not have had any prior knowledge of the action,” the statement read. President Tinubu reaffirmed his longstanding position that anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies must operate independently, professionally, and without political interference. He noted that he has deliberately refrained from directing or interfering in the operational activities of the EFCC or any other investigative agency. However, he said the timing was “inauspicious” because Osun State is ...

OSUN ELECTION. PREPARE TO SIGN YOUR UNCLE AS A DANCER IN YOUR MUSIC BAND AFTER HIS EXPECTED LOSS - GOV UZODINMA REPLIES DAVIDO

Image
Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has responded to Afrobeats star Davido after the singer urged an unnamed politician from Imo State to allow a free and fair governorship election in Osun. Davido, who is leading the youth campaign mobilisation for his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, had alleged that an Imo politician planned to interfere in the election and urged the individual to allow Osun residents decide their leader peacefully. Reacting through his Senior Special Assistant on Electronic and Creative Media, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, Uzodimma said: “It is rather pedestrian for Davido to direct such an appeal to the Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum simply because his wife is from Imo State. Instead, his appeal should be directed to the people of Osun State, who will ultimately decide the election’s outcome through their votes.” He added that he remains committed to “a peaceful, free, and credible election” and said the APC would continue to canvass support for its g...
