TERRORISTS KILL MIYETTI ALLAH CHAIRMAN IN KATSINA, ABDUCT WIVES, DAUGHTER

Suspected terrorists have killed Alhaji Amadu Surajo, the Acting Chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) in Katsina State, in a brutal attack on Mai Rana village, Kusada Local Government Area.

The assailants also took the lives of three others and injured several residents during the overnight raid.

According to reports, they abducted Surajo’s first and second wives along with his daughter, a university undergraduate. However, sources confirm that the first wife was later released.

Surajo, who previously served as MACBAN’s state secretary, became Acting Chairman following the mysterious disappearance of Munnir Lamido, the National Vice President of MACBAN and the Katsina State Chairman, in June 2023.

Lamido vanished while travelling to Kaduna State, and his vehicle and phones were later found near Maraban Jos. His disappearance remains unresolved.

Security operatives have been deployed to Kusada, which was previously considered a relatively peaceful area in Katsina, raising questions about whether the attack was more than an act of banditry.

The police command has yet to issue a statement on the incident. The slain MACBAN leader and the other victims will be buried according to Islamic rites, while injured survivors are receiving medical treatment.

    NYSC DG ASSURES CORPS MEMBERS THAT THEY’LL SOON START RECEIVING N77K MONTHLY

    NYSC DG ASSURES CORPS MEMBERS THAT THEY’LL SOON START RECEIVING N77k MONTHLY Director General, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has assured corps members that they would start receiving N77,000 minimum wage. Speaking in Abuja when he commissioned a staff bus donated by Capital Express Insurance company, the DG said arrangements for their increased allowances to be paid have been concluded. He assured corps members that his priority was their security and welfare, hence in 2025 they would get all benefits that they deserve. Ahmed noted that the bus donated to the scheme for staff was to ease transportation issues. He noted that staff of the scheme and corps members serving in the scheme have always complained that it was difficult for them transporting themselves to and from office. On his part, Chief Executive Officer, Capital Express Insurance company, Mr. Matthew Ogwezhi, said the scheme and his company have been in partnership for a while and the donation was part of the partnership to support the activities of the scheme. He said the company made the donation to support the staff transportation to and from work as the price of fuel and transportation was expensive in the Abuja metropolis. He said the legacy of every organization is the impact they make in the society they find themselves, hence, they should always give back to the society.

    RETIRED MILITARY PERSONNEL FINANCE MINISTRY OVER UNPAID ENTITLEMENTS

    RETIRED MILITARY PERSONNEL BLOCK FINANCE MINISTRY OVER UNPAID ENTITLEMENTS Retired military personnel on Tuesday barricaded the entrance to the Ministry of Finance in Abuja with canopies and chairs, demanding the full payment of their long-overdue entitlements. This protest follows a similar action in December, during which the retirees shut down the ministry over the government’s failure to settle their claims. For months, the retirees were told there were no funds to clear their entitlements, despite an official approval for payment. They are owed a 20% to 28% salary increment covering January to November 2024. The retirees are also demanding payments for other outstanding benefits, including Palliatives for the period between October 2023 and November 2024, an additional N32,000 added to their pensions, a bulk payment of the Security Debarment Allowance, and a refund of pension deductions from the salaries of medically boarded soldiers. In response to their December protests, the Federal Government paid 50% of the owed entitlements and promised to settle the balance. However, the retirees claim the government has failed to fulfill its promise, prompting the resumption of their protests. At the ministry in Abuja, the retirees erected canopies and placed chairs to block the gate, effectively preventing staff from driving into the premises, and forcing many to park their vehicles outside.
