Two yet-to-be-identified persons lost their lives in an accident on Saturday night along the Sagamu-Ikorodu Expressway. PUNCH Online gathered from a traffic update by the Commandant General of the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency, Seni Ogunyemi, that several people were injured in the crash. According to Ogunyemi, a DAF truck suffered a brake failure, causing it to hit two cars from the rear. The impact of the collision caused the cars to ram under another truck ahead of them. He said, “A reported case of a fatal road traffic accident just occurred at Ogijo, in front of Ile Oba, on the Sagamu-Ikorodu Highway, inbound Sagamu, involving a DAF truck, a Mack truck, a Solara jeep, and a Toyota Camry. “The DAF truck suffered a brake failure, hitting the two cars from behind and forcing them under a moving Mack truck. In the process, many were injured, and two were presumed dead. “The presumed dead were taken to the General Hospital morgue in Ikorodu, while the injured were rushed to the Health Centre in Ogijo.” Ogunyemi noted that the accident had caused heavy traffic in the area while stressing that emergency responders were working to clear the scene. “Traffic is seriously affected. TRACE operatives and Papa Oscar (police) are on the ground managing the situation. Tow services have been contacted for the quick evacuation of the accident vehicles,” Ogunyemi concluded.

~1.5 mins read
A 41-year-old ex-convict and Malaysian returnee, Ndubuisi Udatu, also known as Richard, has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency while attempting to traffic 2.7kg of methamphetamine concealed inside two giant music speakers headed for distribution in Yola, Mubi, and across the border into Cameroon. Ndubuisi, who confessed to returning to Nigeria to continue his drug trafficking operations after completing a jail sentence in Malaysia, was intercepted on Monday, April 7, 2025, by NDLEA operatives at a checkpoint in Namtari along the Ngurore-Yola road in Adamawa State. A statement on Sunday by the agency’s spokesman, Femi Babafemi said the suspect was travelling in a commercial transport bus when officers discovered the four parcels of meth and a monetary exhibit of N22,300 hidden in the speakers. “In his statement, he claimed he returned to Nigeria to continue his illicit drug trade after serving out his jail term in Malaysia where he had been arrested, convicted and sent to prison for drug trafficking offences, “ Baba Femi added. In a separate operation at the Mfum border in Cross River State, Babafemi said NDLEA operatives, working alongside Customs officers, apprehended another trans-border trafficker, 35-year-old Odoh Peter Ikechukwu, with 8,740 ampoules of opioids weighing 395kg. He added that the seizure included 1,080 ampoules of fentanyl injection, 2,160 of morphine sulphate, 3,010 of phenobarbital sulphate, 2,160 of pethidine, and 330 of midazolam. “In Kano, NDLEA operatives on Friday 11th April 2025 arrested 27-year-old Aliyu Ibrahim with 20 ATM cards and 25,600 pills of tramadol 225mg and 250mg at Bachirawa area of Kano, while 48-year-old Gambo Lawan was nabbed in a follow-up operation at Wazobia motor park, Gwagwalada FCT Abuja following the seizure of a consignment of 8,960 pills of tramadol by NDLEA officers on routine check along Gwagwalada expressway on Monday April 7.” In Niger State, Babafemi said operatives seized 124kg of skunk—an especially potent strain of cannabis—packed in 11 jumbo bags from a Lexus vehicle driven by 58-year-old Ademiluyi Adedapo Collins along the Mokwa-Jebba road. Babafemi said the Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (retd), lauded the agency’s officers across Adamawa, Cross River, Kano, Niger, and the FCT, urging continued vigilance and commitment to combating drug cartels while strengthening preventive advocacy.

I Am So Much Older Than Wike. He Should Apologise To Me For Saying I Should FCT Senator Ireti Kingibe Tells Nyesom Wike
~1.3 mins read
Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ireti Kingibe, has reacted to statements by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, threatening to unseat her in 2027.
The duo have been at loggerheads since they assumed their respective offices. It should be recalled that while Wike was speaking at the Flag-off of the Mabushi Bus Terminal in Abuja earlier this month, the minister said the FCT senator would lose the support of residents in the nation’s capital in the 2027 general elections.
Wike said it was disheartening that instead of collaborating with the FCT Administration, Kingibe was instead angry that residents were praising the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
Wike also told the senator to h@ng herself on a transformer if she was unhappy with his performance in FCT.
Reacting, Kinigibe said Wike does not understand the concept of leadership in FCT, and courtesy demands that the Minister should not speak to her in such a manner.
In an interview on Channels TV’s Political Paradigm, the LP senator said Wike should apologise to her as she was far older than him.
She said, “He doesn’t obviously understand the concept of the FCT. If he did, it is nothing personal. He says, ‘I don’t want to be her friend.’ How does governance translate into friendship?
I’m actually willing to do everything to work with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory as long as he apologises first for saying I should go and h@ng on a transformer.
Once he does that, it is all over. We can start afresh but until then, everybody stays in your lane. With all due respect, I am so much older than him. Even courtesy demands he should not speak to me like that.”
