Tuggar – Tinubu’s Administration Geared Towards Entrenching Democracy, Sustainable Development
By: Michael Mike
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar has called on Nigerians to keep faith with President Bola Tinubu’s administration, stating that it is geared towards entrenchment of democracy and sustainable development in the country.
He made the call in his message to Nigerians on the occasion of the 63rd Independence Anniversary Celebration.
The Minister also called on Nigerians to use the occasion to reflect on the steady progress being made to see themselves as critical stakeholders of the Nigerian Project and to rally support for the attainment of Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Tuggar also reiterated the commitment of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure the successful realization of President Tinubu’s 4D strategy. The 4D strategy also known as the Tinubu Doctrine pivots on four pillars, Democracy: fostering political stability, Development -catalyzing economic prosperity, Diaspora: nurturing a global Nigerian community; and demography, harnessing the power of a youthful nation.
He also urged Nigerians to eschew hate and divisiveness that can undermine the country’s unity and progress.
Tuggar further stated that the quest for nation-building is a collective responsibility, and all well-meaning Nigerians at home and abroad must join hands in strengthening the resolve to build a sustainable prosperous nation that Nigerians irrespective of their socio-cultural and political leanings would be proud of.

The sources said that the officers were alerted around 2:00 p.m. that a large group of armed men, suspected to be Fulani herdsmen, were advancing toward Udei village with a herd of cattle.
“The attackers had approached the vicinity of the primary school in Udei, which serves as a base for the deployed PMF 12 personnel. As the officers moved to intercept them, they were ambushed and attacked with heavy gunfire,” the report stated.
Four officers tragically lost their lives in the attack, and their service weapons were reportedly carted away by the assailants. The deceased officers were identified as: Insp. Samuel Bisalla, Insp. Emmanuel Bitrus, Insp. John Sunday and Insp. Kenneth Gabriel

Breaking: Squatters Kill Famous KADVIS Local Commander in Kaduna
By Zagazola Makama
Squatters of a grazing forest by a large community of herders in Kaduna State on Sunday afternoon killed one of the Commanders of Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KADVIS).
Sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident occurred in Yardoka Grazing Reserve in Kubau Local Government Area, located in Northern Kaduna Senatorial District.
The slain Commander, identified as Saleh Shuaibu, popularly known as Saleh Fiya-Fiya, who is the KADVIS Commander in Kubau Local Government, was killed when officials of the Kaduna State Government visited the area to carry out a government directive in a grazing reserve located at the said Yardoka forest.
The directive, according to a source in Anchau, the headquarters of the local council, was to allocate over 200 hectares of land to a certain company for investment purposes, a move the squatters are resisting due to lack of payment of compensation, while another source said the squatters have been paid but are still demanding more money.
Another source explained that the government officials arrived in the company of armed policemen along with personnel of the Department of State Services but were barricaded from accessing the reserve.
It was while the impasse was going on that the slain KADVIS alighted from a van and was intervening with the irate community members armed with cutlasses and sticks, while one of the protesters stabbed him with a knife and killed him on the spot. A claim Zagazola Makama is yet to confirm.
