The Commissioner of Police in Anambra, CP Ikioye Orutugu, while addressing journalists in Awka, on Sunday, said the deployment, approved by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, is in line with the Force’s strategic operational plan to reinforce local formations with additional manpower and advanced technical support, including helicopters and drones for aerial surveillance.

3. Anambra must reject ‘magical money,’ embrace enterprise, hard work – Soludo

Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State says his administration is driving a social reformation to restore values rooted in enterprise, hard work and integrity.

Speaking in an interview with Channels Television on Sunday, Soludo said the state government has intensified both security and social measures to curb crime and discourage reliance on “magical means” of making money.

“We have gallant security forces and our own Agunechemba are at work. Those people have been grossly decapitated and to a level that, for them to regroup anywhere near 10% of where they were when we arrived here, is not possible. And we’re not done yet,” he said.

He explained that beyond military operations, his government is investing in technology, surveillance systems, and social reorientation.

4. Alleged Christian Genocide: Oba Akiolu faults Trump’s claims

The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has strongly criticised the President of the United States, Donald Trump, over his claim that Christians are being killed in Nigeria.

Akiolu described the comment as incorrect and capable of creating unnecessary tension, insisting such remarks misrepresent Nigeria’s reality and unfairly portray the nation.

Speaking on Sunday at his palace after marking his 82nd birthday, the traditional ruler said that Nigerians of different faiths had coexisted peacefully for decades.

He noted that both Christians and Muslims share common communities, celebrations, and challenges, reinforcing unity despite occasional security issues.

5. Hurricane Melissa leaves at least 28 dead in Jamaica

Storm-ravaged communities in western Jamaica were facing dire straits Sunday, days after record-setting Hurricane Melissa left towns demolished and at least 28 people dead across the island.

Prime Minister Andrew Holness confirmed the new death toll — nine higher than the previous tally of 19 — and posted on X late Saturday that “there are additional reports of possible fatalities that are still being verified.”

Melissa became the most intense storm to make landfall in 90 years when it barreled into Jamaica last Tuesday as a Category 5 hurricane packing winds of 185 miles (300 kilometers) per hour.

It ripped a terrifying path through the Caribbean, leaving at least 31 dead in Haiti, including 10 children who drowned in heavy flooding, and ravaged parts of Cuba and the Dominican Republic.

6. Trump’s declaration on Nigeria is a welcome development – Middle Belt Forum

The National President of the Middle Belt Forum, Dr. Bitrus Pogu, says the resolve of President Donald Trump of the United States on the killings in Nigeria is a welcome development that would help the Nigerian government be on its toes.

He regretted that the Federal Government had failed to use its capacity to stop the killings, describing the remark by the American President as a necessary push for decisive action.

Dr. Pogu, who was reacting to President Trump’s strong-worded statement on Nigeria, said the scale and frequency of attacks, sometimes “a hundred, two hundred, and even up to three hundred people are killed at a time are unprecedented in Nigeria and amount to an indictment of the authorities for allowing violence to persist.

“The government to me is the issue, it is an indictment on our government that the government has the capacity to handle the problems of this country but it has not,” he said.
