The Oyo State Police Command has officially refuted claims that a pastor was apprehended for providing arms, ammunition, or logistical support to the bandits responsible for the Oriire school abductions. In a formal press release, the state command characterized the viral rumors circulating on social media as entirely false, misleading, and unfounded.  Social media posts and broadcast snippets suggested that a local cleric was caught engaging in gunrunning and smuggling operational equipment through checkpoints.

Olatunji Disu, Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police (IGP), expressed his intention to impose a complete ban on tinted vehicles across the nation if it were solely within his authority. He contended that fully tinted windows present significant security threats and are often misused by kidnappers, armed robbers, and 'one-chance' operators. The IGP made these comments in Abuja while addressing concerns brought forth by Afam Osigwe (SAN), the President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA). The NBA president specifically criticized the commercialization and renewal process for tinted glass permits, although he recognized that the police should continue to oversee their general usage. This position highlights the ongoing stringent regulations regarding the use of tinted glass on vehicles within the country. Every vehicle equipped with tinted glass in Nigeria must possess an official tinted glass permit issued by the police. The Nigeria Police Force has previously implemented a dig...

As of June 2026, the eastern-based parallel government of Libya has prohibited the entry of nationals from Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia. This decree entirely restricts citizens from these four Sub-Saharan African nations from accessing eastern Libyan territory through all land, sea, and air ports.

  *Audio  - https://www.infographicsdailynews.com/2026/06/keir-starmer-announces-resignation-as.html Thank you. Thank you. Walking up this street two years ago was the proudest moment of my life. A new Labour government. The first in 14 years. A page in our country's history turned after years of disappointment and despair. The chance to change the lives of millions of people for the better. That's what I came into politics for. The journey to that point was not easy. Six years ago, I inherited a Labour Party that was politically, financially and morally bankrupt. I was told, time and time again, that my party was finished. That we were consigned to history, that a majority at the general election, let alone a landslide majority, was impossible. But we proved those people wrong because we changed our party. Ripping out the poison of antisemitism, restoring trust on the economy, defence, and national security. And becoming a party that, once again, stood proudly with, not again...
