500-LEVEL UNIVERSITY STUDENT ARR£ST£D FOR POURING H0T WATER ON ROOMMATE AFTER DISAGREEMENT IN BENUE

A 200-level Political Science student of Rev. Fr. Moses Orshio Adasu University (MOAUM), Rose Adikwu, has been hospitalised in Makurdi after she was allegedly sc@lded with a hot mixture during a disagreement with her cousin and co-tenant, Agbo Felicia.

Felicia, a 500-level Chemistry student, was arrested by the police following the incident, which occurred on Friday, August 28, 2026.

According to Adikwu, the disagreement between her and Felicia had lasted for some time and worsened over personal matters, eventually prompting her to ask Felicia to leave their apartment.

She alleged that after packing her belongings, Felicia went to a neighbour’s room, boiled water and mixed it with pepper, salt, onions and seasoning before returning and pouring the h%t mixture on her. Felicia allegedly locked the door and left her inside as she cried for help.

Neighbours reportedly heard her cries, intervened and rescued her, while Felicia was intercepted as she attempted to leave the area. Adikwu was subsequently taken to a private hospital, where she is receiving treatment for severe b¥rns.

Benue State Police spokesperson, DSP Peter Aondongu, confirmed the incident and arrest, saying preliminary information showed that the two students lived together before the disagreement. He said an investigation was ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

BREAKING NEWS: OGONI DIALOGUE COMMITTEE DENIES ROLE IN 40 NNPCL JOB SLOTS AND CONTRACT AWARDS

Image
The Ogoni Dialogue Committee, ODC, has denied claims that it influenced the allocation of 40 job slots at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, or played any role in the award of government contracts. Speaking at a press conference in Port Harcourt, ODC Chairman, Professor Don Baridam, said the 40 employment opportunities were proposed as part of confidence-building measures in the Ogoni dialogue with the Federal Government. He, however, stressed that the committee neither selected nor recruited the beneficiaries, saying NNPCL relied on its existing recruitment database to identify qualified Ogoni applicants. Professor Baridam acknowledged that some ODC members submitted names for consideration but said the nominations did not determine the final selection. The committee also rejected claims of involvement in government or NNPCL contract awards, saying such matters were outside its mandate.

Image
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has revealed that she felt unexpectedly lonely and sad after her staff eliminated cockroaches from her official residence in Tokyo. Takaichi shared the unusual experience on X on August 22 while responding to a question she frequently receives about whether she had encountered the ghosts reportedly said to haunt the prime minister’s official residence.

Image
Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), has warned the United States against releasing documents allegedly linked to past dr@g-tr@fficking investigations involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying such a move could amount to foreign interference in Nigeria’s affairs and influence the 2027 elections.  Buratai made the remarks in a paper titled “Nigeria First: A Case for Protecting National Sovereignty and Dignity – A Patriotic and Non-Partisan Perspective,” published on his verified Facebook page.  He argued that the controversy should not be viewed solely as an issue concerning Tinubu, stressing that its implications could extend to the country’s image, sovereignty and political stability.  “This is not merely about Bola Tinubu; it is about 250 million Nigerians whose national pride, economic prospects, and global standing hang in the balance,” he stated.  Buratai questioned why an issue dating back about 33 years was being revived,...

WHATSAPP TO START CHARGING NIGERIA BUSINESSES FROM OCTOBER 2026

Image
Businesses using Meta’s WhatsApp Business Platform will begin paying for certain customer messages from October 1, 2026, following a new pricing structure announced by the company. The new policy applies primarily to organisations that use the WhatsApp Business Platform, formerly known as the WhatsApp Business API, to handle customer communications at scale.

Under the revised pricing model, fees will vary depending on the type of message businesses send to customers. Utility messages, such as payment notifications, order confirmations and other service-related updates, will cost approximately $0.0101 per message. Marketing messages, meanwhile, will attract a higher charge of about $0.062 per message.
