At least four person have been reportedly killed, several women brutally tortured, and another declared missing following an attack by suspected armed herdsmen on Udei and Nzorov communities of Guma Local Government Area, LGA, of Benue State.

The attacks reportedly occurred when a group of displaced persons went to fetch firewood at Tse Nyamkume Village along the Yogbo-Udei Road, Monday evening. The victims were said to be returning to Udei, where they had sought refuge after fleeing earlier violence in their home communities.

Among those attacked was one Kenneth Gbayier, a native of Mbalagh, who had taken shelter in Udei after previous attacks forced him to flee his village. Gbayier was said to be in the company of another young man from Saawuan Gboodo Village and several women when they were ambushed by the armed assailants.

According to a community source, Gbayier was shot during the attack and repeatedly macheted on the legs and head, sustaining injuries that eventually led to his death.

“The attackers opened fire on them and then used machetes. Kenneth did not survive the brutal assault.

“The women in the group were captured and severely tortured by the attackers, while the second young man managed to escape into the nearby bush as the assailants chased him. He still remains missing, with no trace of his whereabouts as we speak,” he said.

He disclosed that the latest incident occurred just two days after another deadly attack along the Ajimaka Road, where two Tiv travelers and a security personnel escorting them were reportedly killed after armed herders laid an ambush.

According to him, another farmer was also allegedly macheted around the Ahentse axis of Nzorov Council Ward, also in Guma Local Government Area, within the same period.

He lamented that  armed herders had relentlessly invaded rural settlements and destroying farmlands of the people “and the situation is worsening food insecurity and deepening the humanitarian crisis in the state.

“We are therefore calling on security personnel to urgently intervene before the situation escalates further.

“Also residents of Udei and neighboring communities have been warned to exercise extreme caution, as movement along bush paths and rural routes have become increasingly dangerous due to the persistent attacks,” he stressed.

Contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent, DSP, Udeme Edet said she had not received reports of the incidents.

The Executive Secretary/CEO of the Nigerian Shippers Council (NSC), Dr Pius Akutah, on Wednesday said that no maritime sector can advance without a strong, knowledgeable, and committed media community.

Speaking in Lagos at the 10th Anniversary and Annual Seminar for Maritime Journalists, the NSC Boss said that the efforts of the maritime media have contributed to greater transparency, improved public understanding, and stronger accountability within the Nigerian maritime landscape.

Akutah said, “Today’s event is especially significant, not only because it marks a decade of consistent engagement, but also because it will unveil the distinguished individuals who will drive a platform to launch the Maritime Media and Capacity Development Centre.

Shippers decry excessive charges, delays at Lagos ports

“The theme of this anniversary ‘A Decade of Collaboration for Impact: Strengthening Maritime Journalism for the Future’, reflects the essential role of partnership in building a stronger maritime industry.

“Over the years, maritime journalists have worked closely with regulators, operators, policymakers, and stakeholders to illuminate the challenges and opportunities of the sector. Your work has contributed to greater transparency, improved public understanding, and stronger accountability within our maritime landscape.

“The Nigerian Shippers’ Council, in particular, under the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, has benefitted from your professionalism and sustained coverage of our regulatory interventions, reforms, and collaborative efforts to enhance efficiency and competitiveness in the port environment.

“This decade-long journey affirms a simple truth: no maritime sector can advance without a strong, knowledgeable, and committed media community.

“As the maritime sector grows more complex, driven by digitalisation, new trade realities, regulatory reforms, and global logistical shifts, journalism within this space must evolve accordingly.”

Earlier in his speech, the Convener of the Annual Seminar for Maritime Journalists and CEO, First Mediacon Network Limited, Mr Sesan Onileimo, explained that over the years, the Annual Seminar for Maritime Journalists has become a Key Performance indicator (KPI) of the PR Department of the NSC.

In his words, “I want to put it on record that the milestone that we are celebrating here today has been supported for 10 years by the Nigerian Shippers’ Council.

“We remember with deep appreciation, the then Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers’ Council, Barrister Hassan Bello and the Council’s Management. They keyed in to the dream of capacity building and manpower development for maritime journalists.

“Over the years, the ‘Annual Seminar for Maritime Journalists’ has become a Key Performance indicator (KPI) of the PR Department of the NSC. We are equally deeply grateful to successive heads of the PR Department of the Agency.

“We are equally grateful that successive CEOs of the Council did not throw the idea away. And that is why we have in our midst today, the esteemed presence of the incumbent CEO, Dr Pius Akutah. We thank you for your immeasurable support, sir.

“The ‘Annual Seminar for Maritime Journalists’ has grown to become a baby of the Nigerian maritime industry. This is why every year, we dwell on issues that affect the industry directly, cutting across sub-sectors.

“Each year, we gather like this to deliberate on issues that are central or germane to the Nigerian maritime industry.

“Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, in fulfilment of our pledge during the 9th Edition of the Seminar last year, we have added value to the yearly gathering. This morning, we shall be unveiling the icing on the cake, which is the Centre for Maritime Media &Capacity Development. The Advisory Board is made up of eminent personalities, who will also be unveiled.

“Journalism is a dynamic profession. Maritime journalists are therefore equally confronted with the need to upscale their knowledge, especially in this era of artificial intelligence, digitalisation and social media in general. All of these have combined to put journalists under intense pressure to push out factual details at all times, and also compete and be relevant.

“The Centre for Maritime Media and Capacity Development is our bold move to bridge this gap and also ensure that maritime journalists, irrespective of how young or old they are on the beat, will remain relevant.

“The Centre is open for partnership with interested corporate stakeholders. Our goal is collaboration for impact. Ultimately, the Nigerian maritime industry will benefit from this initiative.

“The eminent personalities sitting on the Board of the Centre are a pointer to the seriousness of the assignment and the determination to succeed.”

Also speaking, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Emeka Akabogu, said that harmonising the National single window for economic development is a subject which is at the core of the art of efficiency that Nigeria has been hoping to get to within.

“A lot of the challenge at our ports has arisen because importers, exporters, and Customs have not played their roles as effectively as they should be. A lot depends on ensuring that the human interface is removed from the entire process. This is why the National Single Window System, which will facilitate a platform that ensures that the formalities of the entire process of cargo clearance, which today still requires several submissions to several regulations and agencies, is achieved through one window, through one submission, and through one set of approvals.

“Customs has done very well by ensuring that the trade facilitation agreement of the World Trade Organisation, which Nigeria is a signatory to, is domesticated under the law. And that is the essence of the Nigerian Customs Service Act of 2023. That act, without more, has the potential of transforming the formalities process for Nigeria and putting Nigeria right at the top of cargo clearance formalities on the continent.

“However, that act cannot translate to reality with regard to what would facilitate that cost efficiency if customs is unable to do what is needed to ensure that it comes to life. That is why I’m very happy that it appears that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken the subject of single window very seriously in the last year and a half or so, appointing a special committee and a special coordinator for that purpose,” Emeka Akabogu stated.

The CrimsonBow Sickle Cell Initiative and the Rabiu Olowo Foundation on Wednesday in Lagos provided free medical care for about 400 carriers as part of activities marking the end of the year 2025.

Speaking at the event, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CrimsonBow, Ms Timi Edwin, said that the initiative provided general health talks, medical consultations, medication, vaccination, routine tests, genotype testing and counselling for persons living with sickle cell.

“Our outreach clinics are monthly, and about 400 warriors are here to see a medical doctor, get their routine tests, medications and therapy where necessary.”

“We have done 10 clinic outreaches this year now and more than 5,000 people living with sickle cell have benefited from our free monthly clinics and got their medications this year alone.”

“We all know how much medications cost right now, seeing a therapist and running laboratory services, because sickle cell is a burden,” Edwin said.

The founder, who noted that she had been running the foundation for almost 11 years, said that the challenges facing SCD carriers were numerous.

Calling for support from well-meaning Nigerians, Edwin said, “We are also asking the President and State Governments to please help us increase the budget for healthcare across the country.”

Also speaking, Mr George Oche, General Manager, Rabiu Olowo Foundation, said that the foundation’s intervention in sickle cell care was driven by the lived experience of its founder, also the current Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria.

Oche, representing the founder, said that the foundation—built on three key pillars: Health(sickle cell), Education and Community services- is committed to supporting patients and families affected by Sickle Cell Disease.

“As someone living with Sickle Cell Disease himself, our founder has the inspiration and motivation to support this population. We are very keen on collaboration and partnership. For today, this is our first free clinic with the CrimsonBow Sickle Cell Initiative. We are very proud and very excited to support this population.

“We are very keen on reducing, as much as we want to support warriors, the prevalence of people living with sickle cell disease in Nigeria. We all know that Nigeria holds the global burden. That is why we have rolled out an initiative called 10k GenoTest.

“We are reaching out to 10,000 young people to do free genotype testing and free genotype compatibility awareness.”

“Our main goal is to make sure that we can continue to reduce the prevalence of this disease as well as support people living with sickle cell disease,” Oche said.

The General Manager described living with sickle cell disease as challenging but purposeful, noting that his condition strengthens his resolve to make an impact through advocacy, care and community support.

He said that the foundation runs initiatives, including free genotype testing, free health insurance plan support for warriors and awareness outreach programmes, aimed at advocacy and improving the quality of life of patients.

According to him, the foundation’s 10K GenoTest initiative targeting youths with free testing and awareness will help reduce Nigeria’s high sickle cell birth prevalence.

Counselling patients not to give up on life, Dr Pamela Ajayi, Chairman, Bridge Clinic and host of “Doctors on Air,” said that the bone marrow transplant “is no longer something to be avoided and can now be done in Nigeria.”

Ajayi also emphasised the importance of pre-marital and pre-implantation genetic testing, saying that some important new treatments and initiatives are now available in Nigeria.

According to her, since these initiatives are expensive, there is a need for the government to establish special clinics and dedicated funds for SCD carriers.

Dr Ayodele Renner, a consultant paediatrician and child health advocate, described people living with sickle cell as “warriors,” praising their courage and resilience despite daily pain, lifelong medication and emotional challenges.

He urged Nigerians to prioritise genotype testing, warning that many adults marry without knowing their status, thereby increasing the risk of sickle cell disease among children.

Renner called for routine genotype and blood group testing for all children at age one, noting that late diagnosis often leads to severe complications, including anaemia and kidney failure.

He advised diagnosed patients to keep clinic appointments, take prescribed drugs regularly and avoid self-medication, stressing that early hospital care improves survival and quality of life.

Renner said that governments should expand health insurance, subsidise drugs such as Hydroxyurea, support blood services and strengthen sickle cell clinics to reduce financial burdens on affected families.

Beneficiaries, including a 31-year-old Miss Bashirat Oyelakin and an 11-year-old Hassanat Adewale, commended the commitment of the CrimsonBow initiative and Rabiu Olowo Foundation to easing the suffering of patients with SCD.

“This kind of gesture is much appreciated by all of us living with sickle cell, and we are grateful to Rabiu Olowo Foundation and CrimsonBow Initiative for being so caring about us.

“It is not easy living with sickle cell at all. We have seen doctors here and collected our routine drugs; we are very grateful,” they said.

The Federal Government, on Wednesday, disclosed plans to secure single-digit interest loans for fish farmers, a move aimed at boosting local fish production and reducing the country’s dependence on imports.

The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, made this disclosure at the 4th Quarter 2025 Citizens/Stakeholders’ Meeting in Abuja, stating that the initiative was part of the government’s efforts to support the growth of the fishery sector and promote food security.

The theme of the Ministry’s 4th Quarter 2025 Citizens/Stakeholders’ Meeting is “Positioning Nigerian Marine and Blue Economy for Investment, Innovation and Expansion”.

According to Oyetola, the Ministry is working with relevant financial institutions to facilitate access to affordable finance for fish farmers, with interest rates as low as single digits.

“This initiative is designed to expand access to affordable finance, empower artisanal and industrial operators, boost productivity, and support our broader efforts to combat illegal, unreported, or unregulated fishing in Nigerian waters,” he said.

He explained that the move was expected to benefit thousands of fish farmers across the country, who have struggled with high interest rates and limited access to credit, noting that with Nigeria’s fish production currently standing at 1.4 million metric tons, the government aims to increase production to meet the country’s annual demand of 3.6 million metric tons.

According to him, the single-digit interest loans are expected to enable fish farmers to invest in modern equipment, improve their stock, and increase their yields, and ultimately contribute to the growth of the sector and the country’s food security.

Speaking on the potentials of the Marine and Blue Economy, Oyetola said that the country had entered into a new era of growth and investment in Nigeria’s blue economy, highlighting significant progress in the sector and outlining plans for further development.

He emphasised the importance of the marine and blue economy sector in driving Nigeria’s economic diversification and growth, saying: “The marine and blue economy sector occupies a central place in Nigeria’s economic diversification strategy”.

The Minister reported that the Ministry had recorded tangible, measurable, and confidence-building milestones aimed at positioning Nigeria as a competitive maritime and blue economy destination.

He also emphasised the Ministry’s commitment to digital transformation, highlighting the launch of the Enterprise Content Management System, saying, “A digitally enabled Ministry is a more responsive Ministry”.

Also, speaking at the event, the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC), Pius Akutah, reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to positioning Nigeria’s marine and blue economy for increased investment, innovation and expansion, in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Akutah commended the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, saying that the engagement meeting was evidence of the consistency of the Minister and his team in implementing the President’s directives and advancing sector-wide reforms.

He stressed that the meeting’s theme— Positioning Nigerian Marine and Blue Economy for Investment, Innovation and Expansion was a reflection of the administration’s determination to move the sector to the next level following the adoption of key policies.

The Executive Secretary described the participation of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) at the meeting as a strategic move to deepen Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in the sector, stating that such collaborations are critical to attracting investment and accelerating growth.

He stated that stakeholders were renewing efforts to strengthen the marine and blue economy as a viable alternative to Nigeria’s long-standing dependence on oil revenues, even as the year is winding down.

Akutah hailed stakeholders for their commitment throughout the year, saying that the leadership of the Ministry had provoked innovation within the Nigerian Shippers’ Council, which would further enhance the Council’s effectiveness and contribute to the overall success of the Ministry.

Former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has claimed that his offices and residences have been raided by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Speaking via a statement issued on Wednesday by his office, he lamented that the anti-graft agency raided his offices and private residences in Abuja and Kebbi state.

He alleged that the raid was because of his recent reference to the Justice Ayo Salami report.

The statement signed by Malami’s Special Assistant on Media, Mohammed Bello Doka, disclosed that the raids occurred immediately after the ex-minister made a public statement referencing Chapter 9 of the Salami Judicial Commission of Inquiry Report.

According to the statement, the EFCC operatives allegedly targeted documents related to that chapter, without prior notice.

The statement described the action of the EFCC as “deeply alarming”, noting that they amount to intimidation and retaliation, following Malami’s call for the EFCC chairman’s recusal from his ongoing probe due to alleged bias stemming from the Salami Report.

Chapter 9 of the Salami report allegedly  contains findings implicating senior EFCC officials, including the current Chairman, Ola Olukoyede.

“We hereby place Nigerians and the international community on notice that any harm to our personnel or to Abubakar Malami, SAN, will be solely attributable to this pattern of conduct,” the statement warned.

Malami’s office urged the media and the public to question the timing and justification of the raids, as well as the long-standing contention over Chapter 9.

It called on the civil society, professional bodies and human rights groups to demand the full release of the Salami report for transparency.

This development follows ongoing EFCC investigation into allegations against Malami, including abuse of office, money laundering, and issues related to former military president Sani Abacha loot recoveries.
