THE ONDA EID SKIRMISHES, HON. MOHAMMED SANI OTTO AND THE FALSE NARRATIVE  My attention has been drawn to a viral video making the round on social media in which the Nasarawa State Commissioner of Trade, Industry and Investment, Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto was visibly sighted at Onda Eid Ground.  In the same video, one that was deliberately edited in part, to capture the area that presents a false narrative aimed at misinforming the unsuspecting public about what truly played out.  For the record, let me state that Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto chose to observe Eid-el Fitr prayer with his kinsmen at Onda, out of the love, respect and admiration he has for them, a usual disposition that characterizes him.  On getting to the Eid Ground, he was greeted by skirmishes involving loyalists of the Osu Onda, His Royal Highness, Alh.

Public Outcry Trails Arrest of Barr. Dauda Yahaya Kana in Keffi by Kano Police Operatives  Legal Community, Civil Society Demand Immediate Release Amidst Allegations of Intimidation A wave of outrage and condemnation has followed the arrest of Barrister Dauda Yahaya Kana, a legal practitioner in Keffi, Nasarawa State, by operatives of the Nigerian Police Force from Dala Division in Kano State. The arrest, reportedly carried out at the behest of Hon. Mohammed Lawali, is linked to an ongoing land dispute—a matter already before a Nasarawa State court and under investigation by the Keffi Police Command. Observers are baffled by the extrajudicial nature of the arrest, especially considering that the land in question is situated in Angwan Kare, Keffi, and all legal proceedings and investigations are ongoing within Keffi jurisdiction. “I don’t know if jurisdiction actually means anything in the Nigerian Police lingo,” one commentator remarked online. “But someone needs to exp...
