Kebbi APC Youths Berate Zamfara PDP Over Reckless Comments On Kidnapped Students ****Urge security agencies to investigate opposition's role in insecurity





The Kebbi APC Youth Forum has condemned the Zamfara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for sabotaging the ongoing rescue of 24 female students kidnapped from Government Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, in the Talata-Mafara area of Kebbi state.

The youths, in a statement signed by their Chairman, Comrade Nasiru Maga, and circulated to newsmen in Birnin Kebbi, described the Zamfara PDP’s recent press statement criticizing the deployment of Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Mohammed Matawalle, to coordinate the rescue as “heartless, wicked, and tantamount to giving comfort to terrorists.”

“While our daughters are spending another terrifying night in the bush, Governor Dauda Lawal and his media thugs are busy typing press releases to frustrate the rescue mission just because the man leading the operation is their political enemy,” the statement read. 

“This is no longer politics; this is dancing on the blood of innocent children.”

The group reminded Governor Lawal of his 2023 campaign promise to end banditry in Zamfara within two months, adding that two years later, the state has become “the undisputed capital of kidnapping, mass murder and highway robbery in the North-West.”

“Dauda Lawal has abandoned the people he swore to protect. His only achievement is turning Zamfara into a no-go area while he and his cabal loot the treasury,” the youths charged.

The forum specifically accused the governor of repeatedly plotting to have President Bola Tinubu sack Matawalle out of “sheer jealousy and bitterness,” and said the latest press release was the governor’s revenge for failing to remove the minister.

The Kebbi APC Youth Forum urged the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigerian Army, the Police, and the National Intelligence Agency to immediately open an investigation into “Governor Dauda Lawal’s open romance with bandit elements and the treasonable conduct of his media team.”

“Criticising a rescue operation ordered by the President and executed by security forces while schoolgirls are still in captivity is a national security offence. We demand that Governor Dauda Lawal, his spokesman, and every PDP official who signed or endorsed that wicked statement be invited for questioning without delay,” they declared.

The youths praised President Tinubu for cancelling his trip to the G20 Summit in South Africa the moment he received news of the abduction, and expressed total confidence in Matawalle, whom they described as “the same man who crushed bandits when he was governor of Zamfara.”

“We are confident that within days, Dr Bello Matawalle will bring our 24 daughters home alive. No amount of distraction from failed politicians like Dauda Lawal will stop him,” the statement concluded.

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...

Court Cautions Police, Orders Proper Invitation of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Lagos State Magistrate Court has cautioned the Lagos State Police Command and directed that proper procedures be followed in the handling of the case involving Mr. Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran, in what is seen as a setback for individuals including Bashir Fakorede, Jide Akinloye, and Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Jimoh Moshood. Presiding over proceedings in the Ogba Magisterial District, Magistrate A. J. Odueke, in Charge No: MISC/126/2026, held that the police must formally invite Akanbi rather than declare him wanted. The Court further stated that an order for arrest would only be considered if he fails to honour such an invitation. The Court noted that it was mindful of previous proceedings in Charge No: MCIK/60A/2026, where a similar application had earlier been set aside by another Magistrate on March 23, 2026, on the grounds of illegality. Consequently, the Court declined to entertain what it described as a repetition of a defective process. ...
