BREAKING: Tinubu Suspends Minister, Betta Edu

President Bola Tinubu has suspended the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, from office with immediate effect.

News ToGo reports that previously, the Presidency had disclosed an ongoing investigation into financial irregularities involving the transfer of N585.189 million by the Minister. Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, stated that appropriate action would be taken after the investigation.

About N585.189 million, earmarked for vulnerable groups in Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Ogun, and Lagos states, was reportedly diverted into a private account, sparking public outrage and demands for Edu’s dismissal and prosecution.

A leaked document, signed by Edu and directed to the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, revealed the disbursement of the funds into a private account belonging to Bridget Mojisola Oniyelu. Edu, in response to the criticism, maintained that the payment followed due process, as stated in a statement by her Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Rasheed Zubair.

BREAKING: Tension As Gunmen Kidnap Top Rivers Official, Fubara

Gunmen have kidnapped Aribibia John Fubara, a senior director with the Rivers State Board of Internal Revenue Service, in Port Harcourt.

News ToGo reports that the abduction occurred at the Marine Base area of the city, where six armed men arrived by speedboat, fired several shots into the air, and forcibly took Fubara, who is also a Knight of Saint Christopher in the Anglican Communion, to an unknown location.

Emmanuel Fubara, the victim’s brother, confirmed the incident and stated that the family has reported it to the police. The Rivers State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, also confirmed the kidnapping.

As of now, details about the kidnappers’ demands or Fubara’s whereabouts remain unclear. The state’s Commissioner of Police has directed tactical units to ensure Fubara’s safe release and launched a manhunt to apprehend the perpetrators. Iringe-Koko stated, “The command is aware of the incident, and the CP has directed tactical units to ensure the victim is released unhurt. A manhunt has been launched to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice.”

BREAKING: Bangladesh's Prime Minister Flees As Angry Protesters Storm Her Palace

Protesters jubilantly stormed the residence of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday after she fled, capping over a month of violent anti-government demonstrations.

News ToGo gathered that crowds, waving flags and some dancing atop a tank, broke into Hasina’s official residence in Dhaka. Channel 24 in Bangladesh aired footage of the crowd entering the compound and waving to the cameras in celebration.

An insider revealed that Hasina, 76, had relocated to a “safer place.”

Army chief Waker-Uz-Zaman was set to address the nation on Monday afternoon, according to a military spokesman.

Before the breach, Hasina’s son urged security forces to prevent any overthrow of her 15-year rule.

“Your duty is to protect our people, our country, and uphold the constitution. Do not allow any unelected government to seize power, not even for a minute,” said her US-based son, Sajeeb Joy, in a Facebook post.

Security forces had supported Hasina’s administration throughout the unrest, which initially began over civil service job quotas and escalated into broader demands for her resignation. However, protesters defied curfews and violent crackdowns.

On Sunday, the deadliest day of the unrest, at least 94 people were killed, including 14 police officers. Clashes between protesters and government supporters involved sticks and knives, and security forces opened fire.

Since the protests began in early July, at least 300 people have been killed, according to an AFP tally based on reports from police, government officials, and doctors.

Army chief Waker assured officers on Saturday that the military “always stood by the people,” according to an official statement.

The military had previously declared an emergency in January 2007 after widespread political unrest, leading to a military-backed caretaker government for two years.
