Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has approved N8b for the payment of the backlog of liabilities in pensions and gratuities for retired primary school teachers and other civil servants that have worked with the government.
The N8b will clear liabilities accrued from 2019 to 2021.
Zulum announced the approval on Wednesday at the council chamber of the government house in Maiduguri.
The governor released N3b in June and September 2019, to clear gratuities of 1,684 retirees that left the civil service between 2013 and 2019 and disbursed over N12b in 2020 for retirees that left both the state and local government civil service between 2013 and 2017.
“Since I took over in 2019 to date, we have paid about 25 billion naira for the settlement of gratuities for those that have worked with local and state governments,” Zulum said.
Meanwhile, Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has assured that his administration will settle the backlog of gratuities and pensions before the end of his tenure in 2027. He said, “Insh’Allah, I will clear all the backlog of gratuities before I leave office in 2027.
Victoria Goodwin, the wife of a popular American actor who hired an assassin to kill him has been arrested.
She is the wife of American actor, Aaron Goodwin.
She allegedly hired a hitman to kill the actor barely two years after their wedding.
She was arrested on March 6 on charges of solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder after she allegedly plotted to have her husband killed, according to a TMZ report.
An arrest report obtained by the outlet said that Victoria Goodwin has denied the allegations.
The report cited a text message from Victoria Goodwin to an inmate in a Florida prison.
“Am I bad a person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce,” she allegedly said in the text.
The plot was allegedly hatched in October 2024 and only discovered when correction officers seized the Florida inmate’s contraband phone.
Police said Victoria provided the whereabouts of her husband, who was filming ‘Ghost Adventures’ at the time in California, to the inmate via text, according to TMZ.
Victoria was going to pay the alleged hitman $11,515, police said, with an upfront payment of $2,500.
According to police, she admitted the pair were having “marital problems” but attributed the alleged exchanges with the inmate “daydreaming or fantasizing about being without her husband.”
The couple wed at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion in 2022.

Tokyo police are investigating the tragic killing of a 22-year-old female influencer who was fatally stabbed during a live stream on a public street.
The horrifying incident, which unfolded in real time, left viewers in shock as they witnessed the attack before the screen went dark.
According to local media reports on Wednesday, the suspect, a 42-year-old man believed to be a longtime follower of the influencer, was arrested at the scene. Investigators found multiple stab wounds on the victim’s body, including injuries to her head and neck.
Eyewitnesses reported that the influencer was engaging with her audience when she suddenly screamed for help. Moments later, sirens could be heard in the background as emergency responders arrived.
