Civil Disturbance


Edo : Academic activities at the University of Benin (UNIBEN) in Edo State suspended indefinitely following intense student protests.


Advisory : It is crucial for university management and student representatives to engage in open dialogue to address the concerns leading to protests. Establishing a conflict resolution panel could help mediate these issues and restore normalcy.


⚠️ Fraud


Lagos : The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) raised an alarm, saying it uncovered 3,000 fake graduates in possession of illegal certificates across Nigeria.


Advisory : There's a need for stricter verification processes during admissions and recruitment to curb the proliferation of fake credentials. Educational institutions should work closely with certification authorities to enhance the security features of academic certificates.


⚠️ Theft


Lagos : The Lagos State Government arrested the miscreants who were seen charging people N100 to use a makeshift crossover bridge at the Trade Fair area of the state.


Advisory : The government should ensure that public infrastructure is accessible and properly maintained to prevent exploitation. Community policing can also help identify and deter such opportunistic crimes


🗡 Homicide


Delta : Residents of Obodougwa-Ogume in Ndokwa West Local Government Area of Delta State were on Wednesday gripped with fear as a community leader, Anselm Oyibo, was found dead.


Advisory : Immediate and thorough investigation is required to bring the perpetrators to justice. Enhancing community safety measures and local police presence can help deter such violent acts.


Transportation Accident


Lagos : Operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, on Thursday, rescued a truck driver with broken legs and two others with serious head injuries from an accident scene around Ajegunle bus-stop, heading towards Toll-gate, Sango.
