    He wrote, “He acted in accordance with the teachings of Islam, which uphold the sanctity of human life, where saving a single life is regarded as saving all of humanity. May Allah grant him Jannah al-Firdaus. Ameen!”

    Imam Abdullahi is survived by 19 children, made up of 12 boys and seven girls.

    In June 2018, during deadly faith-based clashes that swept through 10 villages in Barkin Ladi, the late imam hid 262 Christians in a mosque and his private residence until the violence subsided, preventing them from being killed.

  • Foreigners cannot free us from bandits but ourselves – Shehu Sani

    Foreigners cannot free us from bandits but ourselves – Shehu Sani

    Activist Senator Shehu Sani has said that foreigners cannot free the North from  the siege of bandits but  the people themselves.

    Sani challenged the people to free themselves from the shackles of banditry by standing up for themselves. 

    Sani said the people must be fully involved in the battle against banditry. 

    He spoke in Abuja on Thursday at the unveiling of his two books “Perilous path to Europe: the Sahara odyssey and the Councillor.”

    Shehu said time has come for the people to organise themselves to confront the reality of insecurity, which is the central message of the drama from another of his works, “the village and vigilante”, which is aimed at sparking up the light of resistance in the hearts of the people.

    He said: “In the northeastern part of Nigeria, you have ISIS, you have Boko Haram, you have Ansar, and now we are having the Mongrel and Lakurawa terror cells in northern Nigeria. 

    “But I can assure you that if people are united and enlightened and supported by state apparatus, they can defeat those who feel that they own the land and can use the force of arms to subdue everyone. 

    “We should not think that a foreign power will come here and free us from these bandits. We are to do it ourselves.

    “We have a track record of restoring peace and order in other nations. Today, banditry and terrorism is the reality of our time. America will not solve our problems. We are to solve our problems ourselves. And we can do it.

    “We are a nation of 230 million people, and if you put the summation of all these bandits and terrorists, they are not more than 5,000. People should be encouraged, people should be mobilized to stand in the defense of their freedom, and to stand in defense of their dignity and sanctity as human beings. 

    “From Zamfara, to Katsina, to Kebbi, parts of Kaduna State, Niger State, we have seen how bandits have unleashed a regime of hell on our people.They kill our people, they kidnap for ransom, they raze down villages, they displace millions of our people. This was not our life 20 to 30 years ago. 

    “Your security, your peace, and your survival is dependent not just on what the government can do, but how you are able to organize yourself within your own locality and stand up to these bandits and terrorists.”

    Sani said the literature work was part of his contribution towards addressing the security challenges bedeviling the country, especially the north east and north west.

    T”he village and the vigilante is a dramatization of a typical situation in Northern Nigeria. So that is what it’s all about,” he stressed. 

    He said the play, the Village and vigilante will be staged across the northern part of the country to help awaken the spirit of the people and give them hope.

    According to him: “And the idea of coming up with a play that will be staged as a drama on stage, that will inspire and encourage communities under the siege of banditry and terrorism, not to lose hope, but to stand firm, organize themselves, and confront the reality and the danger that is threatening their life, their existence, and their survival as a people. 

    “The village and the vigilante is a stage play that will explain the various roles played by the stakeholders in a typical rural area in northern Nigeria. We have the traditional rulers, we have the people, we have the vigilantes, we have the security agencies, all representing different characters.

    “The village and the vigilante, we hope, will send a clear message to the people of our country that the situation which we find ourselves in today is a face in the life of our nation. It’s not going to be with us forever.”

     The book on the Perilous journey to Europe, the Sahara Odyssey, is a documentation of the ordeal faced by our young people that have dreams of greener pastures in Europe.

    He said “They end up in the hands of human traffickers who collect large sums of money, taking them through the Sahara to Libya where they end up as slaves. In Libya, they spend months and years before taking the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean. The island of Lampedusa in Italy has become a camp for many of our young men who believe that life will be better in Europe than it is here.

    “The message to each and every one of us is that if the Indians and the Chinese are moving to Europe like the way we are, they couldn’t have built their own nations. It is for us to know that there are opportunities in your country. Crossing the Sahara, risking your life in the Mediterranean Sea is not the solution. 

    “There is no dream for you to realize in Europe. Your dream can be realized here in your country. 

    He is also of the belief that the book will help in reducing or bringing an end to this dangerous, irregular migration across the Mediterranean Sea.”

  • Onuigbo lauds unveiling of Nigeria’s carbon market framework

    Onuigbo lauds unveiling of Nigeria’s carbon market framework

    Nigeria’s champion of climate change, Sam Onuigbo has hailed the unveiling of Nigeria’s Carbon Market Framework at the ongoing Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW).

    Onuigbo said the approval of the carbon market framework shows that Nigeria was ready to attract the much-needed investment into green sectors of the economy.

    According to him, Nigeria’s participation in the ongoing Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) was not only a great opportunity to consolidate on its gains, but also a crucial step towards advancing the country’s climate action agenda.

    Onuigbo, a two-term federal lawmaker, who sponsored Nigeria’s signature Climate Change Act in 2021, praised President Bola Tinubu’s continued participation in the sustainability dialogue, stressing that the President’s engaging interest has helped in strengthening international partnerships and accelerating sustainable development.

    Onuigbo, who is attending the ADSW, said that the global event, apart from being one of the world’s leading sustainability platforms, provides Nigeria with such a rare opportunity to align its national priorities with global climate solutions.

    Dismissing the suggestion in some quarters that the event was not worth Nigeria’s attendance, Onuigbo, who is a member of the North East Development Commission (NEDC), maintained that ADSW 2026 is not just another international conference for Nigeria stressing that it is a strategic space where climate ambition meets real investment, innovation, and action.

    He stated: “Nigeria’s presence signals our readiness to transition to a greener economy while addressing energy poverty, unemployment, and climate vulnerability.

    “Nigeria’s participation is boosted by the physical presence and address by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu both in 2025 and 2026. It is heartwarming that the President in his speech mentioned Nigeria’s readiness to partner with the rest of the world and even extended an open invitation to them.

    “Not that alone, the President signalled Nigeria’s firm commitment to a green and inclusive transition, declaring that the country is aligning climate action with energy access, economic goals and social development.

    “I want to commend Mr. President for announcing that Nigeria will co-host Investopia with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Lagos in February as part of efforts to attract global investors and accelerate sustainable investment inflows into the country.”

    Onuigbo disclosed that Nigeria’s attendance will strengthen its influence in global climate and sustainability discussions

    He added: “As Africa’s most populous country and largest economy, Nigeria’s development choices have far-reaching implications for the continent.

    “Participation at ADSW allows our country to clearly present its climate challenges ranging from flooding and desertification to energy access gaps while contributing African perspectives to global policy conversations.”

    According to him, the investment potential of the event is huge, saying: “Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week attracts global financiers, development partners, and technology providers focused on renewable energy, climate-smart agriculture, water security, and green infrastructure.”

    He added: “Nigeria’s engagement creates direct pathways for funding solar and wind energy projects, waste-to-energy initiatives, and sustainable transport systems. At a time when Nigeria is pushing for an energy transition that leaves no one behind, ADSW provides access to investors who are actively seeking bankable green projects in emerging markets and this can translate into jobs, improved power supply, and sustainable economic growth.”

    Nwoko urges APC members to embrace e-registration for party renewal

    Senator Ned Nwoko has described the ongoing electronic membership registration and revalidation exercise of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a crucial opportunity for reflection and renewal within the party.

    He also said new members who believe in the APC’s mission of national renewal and economic reform must step forward and formally take their place, stressing that history rewards participation, not hesitation.
