The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Dr Abdulahi Ganduje, has condemned the murder of the Plateau State Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Slyvanus Namang, and tasked the security agencies to go after the perpetrators and bring them to book.
Dr Ganduje, who spoke through the Deputy National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Bukar Dalori, when the party paid a condolence visit to the party in Jos on Thursday, said the death was a rude shock to the party at all levels considering the contributions of the deceased to the party in Plateau State.
“We are here for condolence visits. We are representing our national chairman, His Excellency Abdullahi Ganduje, and the national working committee of our party. We are devastated by the news of his death; everybody is shocked and silent.
“We know him; he was not new to the party; he has been working for the party; it was a shock the way they killed him. On behalf of the National Chairman of our party and other stakeholders, accept our condolences,” he said.
Also speaking, the Deputy National Chairman, South-South, Hon Emma Eneukwu assured that the party will do all it can to unravel the cause of his death and collaborate with the security agencies to bring the perpetrators of the dastardly act to book.
“And the only thing our great party and the government in place can do is make sure that we assiduously look into the remote causes of his death and bring to book those behind the act. If he was assassinated, if it was a political assassination, whatever it was, the government must bring the culprits to justice.
“I want to assure you that the party will leave no stone unturned in making sure that we apprehend, or rather, we get the people that assassinated our brilliant person,” he said.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has officially been sworn in for a seventh consecutive term after securing victory in the country’s disputed January elections, extending his nearly four-decade rule.
Tight security was observed across Kampala ahead of the inauguration ceremony, with armoured vehicles and security operatives deployed around key areas. Authorities said the measures were put in place to maintain order during the event.
Museveni, 81, was declared winner of the presidential election with more than 70 percent of the vote and is expected to remain in office until 2031. His main challenger, Bobi Wine, rejected the outcome, alleging widespread electoral malpractice including ballot stuffing. Electoral officials denied the accusations and maintained that the poll was credible.
Bobi Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, later fled Uganda, claiming he feared for his safety and accusing the government of targeting opposition figures.
Museveni first took power in 1986 after leading a rebel movement and has since remained one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders. Analysts believe this latest term could potentially be his last, although he has not publicly indicated any plans to step down.
Attention has also turned to Museveni’s son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is widely seen as a possible successor. However, the military chief has faced criticism over controversial social media posts directed at opposition politicians.
At least 100 civilians were killed in a Nigerian military airstrike on a crowded market in Tumfa, Zurmi Local Government Area of Zamfara State, northwest Nigeria, Amnesty International said on Tuesday.
The strike hit the remote market on Sunday, May 10, 2026, with many victims reportedly being women and girls.
This is now the second deadly airstrike on a crowded market in northern Nigeria within the past one month, following a similar incident in April that reportedly killed more than 100 people.
Amnesty International has called on Nigerian authorities to immediately open an independent and thorough investigation into the incident.
Nigeria has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Jordan on defence cooperation and intelligence sharing.
According to the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, the agreement was signed in Amman, Jordan, during a meeting with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Jordanian Armed Forces, Major General Yousef A. Alhnaity.
Matawalle said that the partnership is aimed at strengthening collaboration between both countries in tackling evolving security threats, especially crimes and attacks that are asymmetric and cross-border in nature.
He added that the agreement reflects the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to promoting peace, security, and stability across the country through strategic
