A non-governmental organisation, Anamero Idofe Foundation, on Monday donated learning materials worth millions of Naira to primary and secondary schools in Edo North Senatorial District.

At the commencement of distribution of the materials at Auchi, the Founder of the organisation, Mr Dekeri Anamero, said that the donation was aimed at developing education.

Anamero said that the donation tagged: “Back to School Project” would motivate young people in the locality to be serious with learning.

“We decided to donate these books and writing materials to these students to support and encourage them in our little way to take their academics serious.

“As a foundation, we are committed to playing key roles in improving the wellbeing of the younger generation in this locality.

“We can’t continue to wait on government to do everything for us, we must sacrifice in our little way to support in moving the society forward,” he said.

Anamero said that apart from supporting schools, the foundation was also empowering women and youths with skills.

“Aside promoting education, our foundation has also empowered women through various skills acquisition and small scale businesses,’’ he added.

He called on groups and individuals to join in developing education at the grassroots.

A tragic drowning incident has claimed the life of a University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) student, while another was rescued after they went swimming at the Gwange River Bank in Maiduguri.

Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident occurred on March 14, 2025, around 7:00 p.m., when two UNIMAID students, identified as Abafras Abdiel from the Department of Forestry and Silas Sule from the Department of Geology, went to the Gwange River Bank behind ECWA Church for a swim.

While diving, both students drowned in the river, prompting an emergency response. A combined rescue team, including the police, divers, and fire service personnel, was immediately mobilized to the scene.

The rescue team managed to retrieve both victims and rushed them to the State Specialist Hospital, Maiduguri. While Abafras Abdiel was admitted for treatment, Silas Sule was unfortunately certified dead by doctors. His body has since been deposited at the hospital for autopsy and further investigations.

The authorities have urged students and residents to exercise caution when engaging in activities near water bodies, especially during the dry season, when river currents can be unpredictable.

Federal University Gusau: A 300-level student died in a bandit’s den in Zamfara

By: Our Reporter

This is truly heartbreaking. Zarah Abubakar Shehu, a 21-year-old 300-level student at Federal University Gusau, was abducted along with her two siblings by bandits in the early hours of Sunday, November 3, 2024, from their home in the Damba area of Gusau, Zamfara State.

The kidnappers initially demanded a ransom of ₦35 million for their release. After much struggle, the family managed to gather ₦10 million, which the kidnappers agreed to accept. However, even after receiving the money, they still refused to release Zarah. Instead, they demanded four motorcycles (Boza) and four cartons of engine oil.

Zarah and her siblings spent four months in captivity. When all the items were finally gathered, the kidnappers’ leader was informed. He then called his men to check on the captives. To everyone’s horror, his men responded that only two children remained; one of them, Zarah, had passed away and had already been buried two days earlier.

Zarah was the only daughter of her mother, making her loss even more devastating. Her passing is not just a tragedy for her family but a heartbreaking reflection of the ongoing insecurity in Zamfara State and the pain that countless families endure.
