The Federal Government in collaboration with the international organization for Migration, IOM, yesterday evacuated about 117 irregular Nigerian migrants trapped in Libya. Similarly, the Nigerian Mission in Tripoli had last week evacuated 137 stranded Nigerians from the same country. This was disclosed by the Nigerian Ambassador to Libya, Amb Kabiru Musa, who is in charge of Nigerian Affairs in Libya while speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN yesterday.

Kano state police command has debunked a rumour trending on social media that claimed terrorists invade a community in kano and unleashed a pogrom, saying the statement was not true and urging members of the public to go about their normal routine as security agencies are on top of their game. However, the police made some clarification that what some mischief makers spread as a terror attack was actually a communal clash that happened among some three communities in Rogo Local Government Area of the state sometime back in August 2022.

Following the Abuja terror alerts issued  last week by the United States (US) and other countries, the Federal Government (FG) on Monday assured Nigerians to continue their lawful activities because the county is secure and safe. This was made known on Monday by the National Security Adviser (NSA), Maj.

The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mohammed Abubakar had yesterday dismissed a rumor that Nigeria may experience a food supply shortage in the incoming months and years when the drastic measure is not taken. The Minister was responding to questions from lawmakers yesterday during a budget defense of his ministry before the National Assembly. In a separate submission, some of the lawmakers expressed concern, especially in recent times as the flood is taking over most of the farmlands and villages in Nigeria.

President, Muhammadu Buhari, will today 31st October, 2022, hold an emergency meeting with security chiefs in Abuja.
