President Muhammadu Buhari Tuesday in Monrovia, Liberia called on leaders in West Africa to do all within their powers to ensure that elections are conducted in their countries in an atmosphere of trust, freedom and transparency as this is the only way the sub-region can be
insulated from the scourge of unconstitutional take overs that reared its head in three countries recently.

The House of Representatives has stepped down a motion to call on the Federal Government to halt the proposed ban on motorcycles. A member from Jigawa State, Abubakar
Yalleman, had moved the motion on Tuesday during the plenary at the green chamber of the National Assembly in Abuja, the nation’s capital. He prayed the House to urge the Federal Government to restrict the ban to local governments where banditry and terrorism were rife.
Boko-Haram and ISWAP terrorist groups have mobilised fighters and weapons, which they intend to use for an attack in Katsina State. Other terrorist groups are preparing to attack other parts of the country, including Lagos State.

The Inspector General of Police, IGP
Usman Alkali Baba on Tuesday allayed the fears of residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja and its environs over the increasing cases of insecurity in recent times, saying that the Nigeria Police Force is on top of the situation.
