Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Nigerian Newspapers:
1. The Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), on Friday, said the FG was set to prosecute some high-profile Nigerians and businessmen for financing terrorism. Malami disclosed this in an interview with State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
2. A policeman, Akinsanya Akingbade, was killed on Friday during a clash between Ileogbo and Iwo communities in Osun State over a parcel of land. The Police Public Relations Officer for the State, Mrs Yemisi Opalola, while confirming the incident.
3. A former Nigerian Minister, Aisha Jummai Al-Hassan, popularly known as Mama Taraba died yesterday afternoon. President Muhammadu Buhari, in a statement on Friday, expressed shock over the death.
While saying that the recent coup scare was uncalled for, Akabueze said many Nigerians who experienced the brutality of the military are aware that a return to such days is not the prayer or desire of Nigerians.
“A Nigerian does not need to be a registered political party card-carrying member before speaking about the failing economy, the daily killings and kidnappings of students, older men and women; babies and infants; people being killed in IDP camps and even in their homes by insurgents.
“Every reasonable Nigerian is sick to the stomach to read or hear of a Governor running from insurgents who want to kill him in the State where he is constitutionally the chief security officer.
