Good day sir. I’m a student of Nasarawa State University, Keffi - NSUK. We are currently on strike and academic activities have been shut down. Please sir, use your platform to help us speak to the government and school management. Our future and academic progress are at stake. Thank you for your time and support.

The message we want to send with this operation is that *you can't come to Enugu to commit this kind of crime or violent crimes and get away with it.* Two, we have come to the level of improved security and mindset that the kidnap of even one or two persons is for us a very major security breach and all our security assets that Mbah has invested hugely in are deployed to respond in a way that sends the right message to the criminals. No joy for criminals in Enugu. Meanwhile, the security operation regarding the kidnap incident at Affa was successfully concluded on Monday evening with the recovery of rifles, ammunition and cash, including foreign currency. The first suspect was arrested earlier during the weekend immediately after they released their captives. Unbeknownst to the criminals, our security forces were on their trail, just waiting for them to be separated from the victims to avoid collateral damage. And once the captives were released, the needful was done.

Former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi has criticised what he described as the growing tolerance of questionable or unverified academic credentials in positions of leadership. Obi argued that the issue should not be treated as a matter of political loyalty or personal support, but as a question of standards, accountability and the values Nigeria wants to uphold. He warned that excusing blurred, missing or unverified credentials because they belong to political allies could create a dangerous precedent for the country. According to Obi, normalising the abandonment of basic credential verification could eventually allow people without the required qualifications to occupy positions such as professors, doctors or judges. He said Nigeria must build a society where truth is not determined by political affiliation and where standards and accountability apply equally to everyone. Obi urged Nigerians to choose truth over convenience, standards over sentiment and the country’s long-term future over political expediency, arguing that a better Nigeria can only be built when citizens are willing to uphold the right principles even when doing so is inconvenient. 👉 Follow Daily Times Nigeria for more updates. #PeterObi# #Nigeria# #News# #NigeriaPolitics# #DailyTimesNigeria#
