The Chairman of Ijebu Ode Local Government Area in Ogun State, Dare Alebiosun, has instructed the Fusengbuwa Ruling House and the Awujale kingmakers to pause the ongoing selection of a new Awujale of Ijebuland.
This directive comes after the local government reportedly received petitions, security reports, and complaints from concerned parties, which included allegations of irregularities and inducement in the selection process.
The decision was communicated in a letter dated January 20, 2026, addressed to the Awujale Kingmakers’ Council and signed by the Secretary to the Local Government Chairman, Oke Adebanjo.
According to the letter, the action was taken after careful consideration of the Obas and Chiefs Law of Ogun State, 2021, which gives the government the authority to overturn an appointment if deemed necessary for peace, order, and good governance.
“In taking this decision, government has had due regard to the provisions of the Obas and Chiefs Law of Ogun State, 2021, which empower it to set aside an appointment if the Executive Council is satisfied that it is in the interest of peace, order and good government to do so,” the letter stated.
The letter further explained that, based on available reports, the local government chose to act proactively and without delay to prevent any potential disruption of peace and to safeguard the revered traditional institution of the Ijebu Kingdom.
As a result, the local government has instructed the kingmakers to immediately halt the Awujale selection process and await further directives on when it may resume.
The letter did not provide specific details regarding the petitions or security reports that led to this decision.
As demolitions continue in the Makoko waterfront community, displacing thousands and raising environmental concerns over the Lagos Lagoon, tensions have escalated between the Lagos State Government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has defended the actions as necessary for public safety while accusing some NGOs of financial exploitation, even as rights groups condemn the demolitions as unlawful and inhumane.
The demolitions, which began in late December 2025 and intensified into January 2026, target structures allegedly built under high-tension power lines in Makoko, a historic fishing settlement in Yaba.
State officials claim the exercise is limited to a 30-meter safety setback to prevent tragedies, but residents and activists report expansions up to 100 meters or more, affecting homes, schools, clinics, and places of worship.
Reports indicate thousands have been left homeless, with some sleeping in canoes or overcrowded boats, amid allegations of tear gas use, violence, and even deaths, including infants and elderly individuals.
Speaking after signing the N4.4 trillion 2026 budget into law on January 19, Sanwo-Olu addressed the backlash, insisting the government has no interest in unnecessary destruction.
“Of what interest will it be to the government to unduly demolish anybody’s house, if it’s not for the overall safety of the citizens we are talking about?” he said. He accused local and international NGOs of “profiteering” from the situation, claiming they secure grants from donors under the pretense of aiding communities but fail to deliver.
“They’ve made so much money from international people. And they’ve asked for so many grants and wealth into those places, and it’s just for them to cover their own lies and the fact that they’ve not done what they said they were going to be doing,” Sanwo-Olu stated.
He described the NGOs as “crying more than the bereaved,” suggesting their criticisms stem from lost opportunities for funding rather than genuine concern. The governor mentioned ongoing studies to provide evidence and pledged palliative measures, including temporary shelters and compensation for verified affected residents.
NGOs and civil society groups have fired back, labeling the demolitions as violations of court orders, constitutional rights, and international human rights standards.
A coalition of 23 national and international organizations, including the Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF), Corporate Accountability and Public Participation Africa (CAPPA), and Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth Nigeria, issued a joint statement on January 18 demanding an immediate halt.
They accused the government of “violent and unlawful” actions that began on January 5, ignoring a 2025 court ruling that stopped similar evictions and awarded N3.5 billion in compensation against the state.
The Foundation for Peace Professionals warned of a looming humanitarian crisis, citing insufficient notice, lack of resettlement plans, and potential social destabilization.
Residents have staged protests, blocking bulldozers and marching to the governor’s office and state assembly. Led by CAPPA and community leaders, demonstrators on January 15 alleged the government exceeded agreed boundaries without compensation, leading to casualties.
“This is a deliberate attempt to remove poor residents from prime waterfront locations for elite interests,” said one activist, highlighting the absence of basic relief for displaced families.
Social media discussions echo these divides, with some users supporting the governor’s claims that NGOs use Makoko for fundraising without tangible impact, while others decry the government’s disregard for court injunctions and human dignity.
Critics point to a pattern of demolitions in Lagos, including past actions in Lekki and other areas, often justified as urban renewal but criticized for lacking due process.
Environmental risks add another layer, with dredging and demolitions raising fears of lagoon erosion and flooding, potentially damaging infrastructure like the Third Mainland Bridge.
The government maintains engagements with stakeholders over the past two and a half years, but opponents argue these have been insufficient.
As of January 21, 2026, demolitions persist amid calls for transparent dialogue and adherence to legal rulings. The controversy underscores broader debates on urban development, poverty, and accountability in Nigeria’s most populous city.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has included three Nigerian stars, Victor Osimhen, Calvin Bassey, and Ademola Lookman, in its official Best XI of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The list, unveiled on Wednesday morning, comes just days after the conclusion of the tournament and is largely dominated by players from Nigeria, Senegal, and Morocco.
Osimhen featured in five of Nigeria’s six matches at the tournament, playing a key role as the Super Eagles clinched the bronze medal in Morocco. The Galatasaray forward netted four goals during the competition.
Ademola Lookman emerged as one of the standout performers of AFCON 2025. The Atalanta winger recorded the highest goal involvement, scoring three goals and providing four assists. Meanwhile, Fulham defender Calvin Bassey earned his place in the Best XI following a series of commanding defensive displays.
Bassey was a mainstay in Nigeria’s defence, helping the team keep three clean sheets in the six matches he played. He featured in every game under head coach Eric Chelle but missed the third-place playoff due to suspension.
While Nigeria secured three spots in the Best XI, Senegal and Morocco led the list with four players each.
Morocco’s representatives include goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, who conceded only two goals in seven matches, alongside Achraf Hakimi, Noussair Mazraoui, and tournament top scorer Brahim Díaz.
Tournament champions Senegal are represented by Moussa Niakhaté, Pape Gueye, Idrissa Gueye, and forward Sadio Mané, who was named Player of the Tournament.
The Federal High Court in Abuja has removed Julius Abure from his position as National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).
In a ruling delivered Wednesday, Judge Peter Lifu referred to the Supreme Court verdict of 4 April 2025 to declare former Minister of Finance, Nenadi Usman, as the party’s valid leader.
The court instructed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise the Ms Usman-led caretaker committee as “the only valid authority to represent the Labour Party,” pending the party’s national convention.
The judgment followed a lawsuit filed by Ms Usman against Mr Abure, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), INEC, and other parties as defendants.
Mr Lifu noted that evidence presented in court showed Mr Abure’s tenure as national chairman had expired.
While dismissing his claim that the dispute was an internal party matter and therefore not justiciable, the judge said the formation of the LP caretaker committee was “a necessity” arising from the Supreme Court order.
The leadership dispute had earlier prompted the Labour Party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) to remove Mr Abure. To fill the leadership gap, the party established a 29-member caretaker committee chaired by Ms Usman.
The committee was formed following an expanded stakeholders’ meeting in Umuahia, Abia State, hosted by Governor Alex Otti. At the meeting, where Mr Abure was removed, Peter Obi, his former ally and the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, presided.
Dissatisfied with the decision, Mr Abure approached the Federal High Court to assert his continued position as national chairman.
In an affidavit supporting his suit, Mr Abure stated he was lawfully elected acting national chairman at a NEC meeting in Benin City, Edo State, on 29 March 2021.
He added that during a NEC meeting in Asaba, Delta State, on 18 April 2023, tenures of state chairmen whose terms had expired were renewed, anti-party members were expelled, and vacancies filled.
Mr Abure said he was later elected national chairman at the party’s national convention on 27 March 2024 in Nnewi, Anambra State, and noted that under his leadership, the party produced governorship candidates in Edo and Ondo states.
While both the High Court and Court of Appeal had previously upheld Mr Abure’s position and ordered INEC to recognise him, the Supreme Court later overturned those rulings.
In the lead judgment delivered by Justice Inyang Okoro, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by Ms Usman, chairman of the caretaker committee, and Darlington Nwokocha, the committee secretary.
The Supreme Court also rejected Mr Abure’s cross-appeal and reminded political parties to adhere strictly to their internal rules when appointing officers. The court instructed officials whose tenures had ended to step down from their positions.
Paystack has unveiled a new holding company, The Stack Group (TSG), as it broadens its focus beyond payments into banking, consumer finance, and AI driven product innovation.
In a statement to Techpoint Africa, the company said the creation of TSG represents a major milestone, coinciding with Paystack’s move into profitability.
The new holding structure will oversee a collection of independent yet complementary businesses, including Paystack, Paystack Microfinance Bank, Zap, and TSG Labs.
TSG Labs has been established as a venture studio tasked with building products within and beyond the financial services space.
Legal agreements setting up the group were completed in October 2025 and are currently awaiting regulatory approval.
The announcement aligns with Paystack’s 10th anniversary and reflects a strategic transition from operating mainly as a payments company to developing wider technology and financial infrastructure for African businesses.
Paystack disclosed that since its acquisition by Stripe in 2020, the volume of payments processed on its platform has increased by more than twelve times.
The company is already licensed and operating in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa, while regulatory approvals are in progress in Egypt and Rwanda.
Together, these two additional markets represent about 46 percent of Africa’s total GDP.
The establishment of TSG follows Paystack’s recent purchase of Ladder Microfinance Bank, which led to the creation of Paystack Microfinance Bank in Nigeria.
As a fully regulated standalone bank, Paystack MFB enables the group to bring critical financial infrastructure in house and develop banking and credit systems for over 300,000 Nigerian merchants.
This strategy reduces dependence on partner banks and supports quicker development of complete money movement solutions.
Beyond its merchant and banking operations, TSG also encompasses Zap, a consumer focused payments product.
The group further includes TSG Labs, which will concentrate on building new offerings powered by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence.
Paystack explained that the venture studio will function independently from its regulated businesses, allowing experimentation with AI driven products without introducing regulatory risk to its core financial operations.
The founding shareholders of TSG include Stripe, Paystack founder and CEO Shola Akinlade, and existing Paystack employees.
Stripe continues to hold a stake in the company following its $200 million acquisition of Paystack in 2020, highlighting its sustained long term commitment.
Speaking on the development, Akinlade said the launch of TSG mirrors Paystack’s growing vision beyond payments.
“There are significant opportunities to support businesses beyond payments, and TSG enables us to address the challenges African companies face over the next decade,” he said.
Through TSG, Paystack is positioning itself as a broader technology group, with banking, consumer finance, and AI forming the core pillars of its next phase of growth.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has fixed March 11, 2026, as the official date for the commencement of political campaigns ahead of the Osun State governorship election.
The announcement was made on Monday by the Osun State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Mutiu Agboke, during an expanded stakeholders’ meeting held in Osogbo to herald the second phase of the Continuous Voter Registration, CVR, exercise.
“By God’s grace, full campaign activities will commence on March 11, 2026. We will still meet with stakeholders, especially political parties, to brief them appropriately,” Agboke said, noting that the Commission would formally notify political actors of the campaign schedule in accordance with the Electoral Act and established guidelines.
He also assured that INEC would issue detailed guidelines to regulate the conduct of political parties throughout the campaign period. “We are going to roll out the protocols and conduct of political parties in line with the Electoral Act, as the relevant sections are there to guide everyone,” he stated.
Agboke stressed that collective effort remained essential to achieving credible elections in the state, adding that cooperation among stakeholders contributed significantly to the success of the first phase of the CVR.
“We want cooperation, understanding and proper togetherness in the execution of INEC activities. The first phase was successful because INEC and stakeholders came together beforehand to identify grey areas,” he said.
According to him, the same collaborative strategy would be adopted for the second phase of the registration exercise in order to sustain earlier achievements.
“As we commence the second phase of the CVR, we believe building on the progress already made will lead to another success,” he added.
In a move to enhance voter participation, Agboke disclosed that INEC plans to rotate registration equipment across various communities to bring the exercise closer to prospective voters.
“Now we are going to start rotation of the CVR, where the IVES will be taken to communities for the registrants to participate.
“The stakeholders agreed with us on this assuring that they will participate and they have also shown their readiness to cooperate and ensure the success of the exercise,” he concluded.
Former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, has been brought before the Southwark Crown Court in London, United Kingdom, for a preliminary hearing connected to alleged bribery offences.
Alison-Madueke, who served in office between 2010 and 2015, made history as Nigeria’s first female oil minister and later became the first woman to preside over the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC.
The matter was heard on Monday before Justice Thornton.
She appeared in court as part of initial proceedings ahead of her main trial, which is scheduled to begin on January 26.
Preliminary stages of the case, including procedural issues and jury selection, commenced this week, with Alison-Madueke present in court.
Now aged 65, she has remained on bail since her arrest in London in October 2015 and has pleaded not guilty to all six charges filed against her.
In 2023, the United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency formally charged her with offences relating to the acceptance of bribes between 2011 and 2015.
“We suspect Diezani Alison-Madueke abused her power in Nigeria and accepted financial rewards for awarding multi-million-pound contracts,” the NCA said at the time.
Court documents allege that Alison-Madueke received benefits worth at least £100,000, including cash payments, chauffeur-driven vehicles, private jet flights, and access to several properties in London.
The indictment further outlines alleged benefits such as furniture purchases, property renovations, domestic staff services, payment of private school fees, and luxury items from designer brands including Louis Vuitton.
The trial is expected to commence on Monday, January 26, and is projected to run for between 10 and 12 weeks.
Two additional defendants are facing related bribery charges in the case: Doye Agama, who appeared via video link on Monday, and Olatimbo Ayinde, who was physically present in the dock.
Nigerian soldiers have discovered a major Boko Haram logistics hub hidden underground in Borno State, confiscating large amounts of medical supplies, fuel, and other items crucial for terrorist operations.
The success was achieved by Operation Hadin Kai forces following coordinated offensives on Sunday in the Timbuktu Triangle, a well-known insurgent stronghold.
The missions specifically targeted terrorist positions in Chilaria, Garin Faruk, and Abirma.
Lt. Col. Uba Sani, Media Information Officer of the Joint Task Force North-East, Operation Hadin Kai, confirmed the development in a statement on Monday.
He explained that the operation, conducted under Operation Desert Sanity, delivered a significant blow to Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters in the region.
“Troops of the Joint Task Force (North-East), Operation HADIN KAI, have recorded further operational successes in the ongoing Operation DESERT SANITY, destroying multiple terrorist camps, recovering arms and equipment, and repelling coordinated attacks by the insurgents in the Timbuktu Triangle,” Sani said.
He added that the troops carried out deliberate operations after advancing from their base areas on January 18, 2026, based on credible intelligence regarding terrorist hideouts.
According to him, the mission received strong backing from the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai, which ensured continuous monitoring throughout the operation.
“The air-ground synergy enabled real-time tracking of terrorist movements, deterred adversary reinforcement, and enhanced the precision and confidence of ground operations,” Sani said.
During the raids, troops recovered a range of weapons and equipment from the insurgents.
He disclosed that “troops recovered several items of military significance, including Baofeng radios, phones, five AK-47 magazines, several rounds of 7.62 × 39mm special ammunition and 7.62mm NATO belted ammunition.”
Other items seized included “several Boko Haram/ISWAP flags, links of 12.7 × 108 mm ammunition, diesel powered grinding machines, large quantity of medical supplies, several bags of grains, pick-up truck, underground logistics storage and petroleum and oil lubricant dump, which all further degraded the operational and logistical capability of the terrorists.”
He emphasized that the “recoveries further degraded the operational and logistical capacity of the terrorists.”
Despite the gains, troops faced insurgent resistance in the form of drone attacks.
Sani revealed that around midday, advancing forces were targeted by armed drones.
“Despite this, the troops maintained momentum and continued the offensives. A second drone attack attempted in the evening was also decisively repelled, forcing the terrorists to withdraw and reaffirming the troops’ dominance of the area,” he explained.
He added that these encounters did not weaken the resolve of the soldiers.
According to him, morale remains high, and operational effectiveness has been sustained.
“The general security situation in the area is assessed as calm but unpredictable, with troops remaining vigilant and at a high state of readiness,” Sani said.
He assured that military authorities remain committed to maintaining pressure on terrorist groups in the North-East.
Sani concluded that the high command has reiterated its determination to continue the fight until lasting peace is achieved in the region, stressing that troops are focused on eliminating threats and protecting civilians.
Reports of a mass abduction involving over 150 worshippers from churches in the Kurmin Wali community of Kajuru Local Government Area have sparked controversy and conflicting accounts.
The alleged incident occurred on Sunday, January 18, 2026, during church services, with claims of armed gunmen storming multiple places of worship and herding congregants into nearby forests.
While some local leaders and religious figures insist the kidnapping took place, official authorities have vehemently denied the reports, labeling them as fabrications aimed at inciting unrest. Here’s a breakdown of what is known so far.
Mass abduction of worshippers in Kaduna churches
According to multiple accounts from religious and community leaders, armed bandits attacked at least two or three churches in Kurmin Wali during Sunday services.
The targeted churches include the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), one or two belonging to the Cherubim and Seraphim denomination, and possibly a Catholic church.
Reverend John Joseph Hayab, Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the 19 Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory, confirmed that 172 worshippers were initially abducted, with nine managing to escape shortly after, leaving 163 in captivity.
A local community leader, Ishaku Dan’azumi Sarkin, said that 177 people were taken from three churches, with 11 escaping and no deaths reported.
Usman Danlami Stingo, a state lawmaker representing the Kajuru area, corroborated the reports, stating that 177 were missing initially, with 11 returning, resulting in 166 still unaccounted for.
Witnesses described the assailants as heavily armed, blocking church entrances and forcing congregants including men, women, children, and youths, into the surrounding bush.
The area, a predominantly Christian forest community, is remote with poor road access, which may have facilitated the attack. Sources suggest the victims may have been taken to bandit camps in nearby forests, such as Rijana, known for holding captives while demanding ransoms.
This incident, if confirmed, would represent one of the largest mass kidnappings from places of worship in recent years, exacerbating fears among rural populations.
Kaduna officials and police debunk church kidnapping reports
In stark contrast, Kaduna State authorities have dismissed the abduction claims as baseless. Police Commissioner Alhaji Muhammad Rabiu described the reports as “mere falsehood” propagated by “conflict entrepreneurs” intent on causing chaos.
He challenged anyone with information to provide names and details of the alleged victims, emphasizing that no such list has been forthcoming.
Kajuru Local Government Chairman Dauda Madaki echoed this, stating that security forces were dispatched to the area after hearing rumors but found no evidence of an attack upon investigation.
Madaki reported visiting the churches and speaking with local figures, including the village head and youth leader, who denied any incident occurred.
The state’s Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Sule Shauibu, added that religious leaders, including from CAN, visited the site and confirmed the reports were false.
Police have warned against spreading rumors, threatening legal action against those disseminating unverified information. Efforts to reach police spokesperson Mansir Hassan for further comment were unsuccessful, as his phone was unreachable.
Political reactions
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s main opposition, has seized on the reports to criticize the federal government under President Bola Tinubu, calling the alleged abductions a “sad reminder of the normalization of insecurity.”
The party urged immediate rescue operations and highlighted the need for state policing to combat such impunity, arguing that the administration prioritizes image management over citizen safety.
This political angle underscores deeper frustrations with Nigeria’s security apparatus, plagued by corruption, poor intelligence, and underfunding.
Experts note that Kajuru district is a known hotspot for bandit attacks, often linked to clashes between Christian farmers and Fulani Muslim herders, though both Christians and Muslims have been victims of kidnappings nationwide.
The region faces multiple threats, including Islamist insurgencies, separatist violence, and resource conflicts. Church leaders have called for calm to avoid inflaming inter-religious tensions, while advocating for collaboration with authorities.
International attention, including past U.S. involvement like airstrikes against militants, highlights the global concern over Nigeria’s security crisis.
The story has unfolded amid Nigeria’s ongoing security challenges, including rampant banditry and kidnappings in the northwest region.
Kaduna State, in particular, has been a hotspot for such attacks, often targeting rural communities, schools, and places of worship.
This latest alleged event has highlighted the tensions between community reports, religious organizations, and government officials, with accusations of misinformation flying from both sides.
Community leaders argue that the abductions are real and part of a pattern of violence, while authorities claim no evidence supports the claims, urging the public to provide verifiable details.
Political voices have also weighed in, criticizing the federal government’s handling of insecurity.
As investigations continue, the conflicting narratives have left families in anguish and communities on edge.
Attention now focuses on whether verifiable evidence emerges to resolve the discrepancies, and what steps the government will take to address the persistent vulnerability in rural Kaduna.
On Monday, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) increased Nigeria’s projected economic growth for 2026 to 4.4 per cent, up from the 4.2 per cent it had forecast in October.
The Fund, in its January 2026 update of the World Economic Outlook (WEO) titled “Global Economy: Steady amid Divergent Forces,” also upgraded Nigeria’s economic growth forecast for 2027 to 4.1 per cent from the previous 4 per cent estimate.
It noted that Nigeria’s improved outlook mirrors broader gains across sub-Saharan Africa, where growth is expected to rise from 4.4 per cent in 2025 to 4.6 per cent in both 2026 and 2027, driven by macroeconomic stabilization and reform initiatives in key economies.
The IMF’s report projected global GDP growth at 3.3 per cent in 2026, a 0.2 percentage point increase from the October estimate.
This comes after a 3.3 per cent growth in 2025, which exceeds the Fund’s previous forecast by 0.1 percentage point, with the 2027 global growth projection remaining at 3.2 per cent, unchanged from earlier estimates.
The IMF further indicated that global inflation is expected to continue falling, from 4.1 per cent in 2025 to 3.8 per cent in 2026 and 3.4 per cent in 2027.
Analysts point out that the IMF’s upward revision of Nigeria’s 2026 and 2027 growth forecasts reflects the optimism the Bretton Woods institutions, the World Bank and IMF, have in Nigeria’s medium-term economic prospects.
In its latest Global Economic Prospects report released last Tuesday, the World Bank also raised Nigeria’s 2026 growth forecast to 4.4 per cent, from the 3.7 per cent it had projected in June 2025.
The World Bank stated: “Growth in Nigeria is forecast to strengthen to 4.4 per cent in both 2026 and 2027, the fastest pace in over a decade.”
It added: “This further firming of growth is anticipated to be underpinned by a continued expansion in services and a rebound in agricultural output, with a modest acceleration in the non-oil industry.”
“Economic reforms, including in the tax system, along with continued prudent monetary policy, are expected to continue supporting activity,” the Bank said.
“They are also expected to improve investor sentiment and reduce inflation further. Higher oil output is expected to offset lower international oil prices this year, helping to boost fiscal revenues and strengthen the external balance.”
