Reports on the rising cases of kidnapping in some parts of the country, especially in Niger and Abuja communities, continue to make the cover pages of Nigerian newspapers.

The Punch reports that security experts and families of victims have said that most kidnapping incidents in the federal capital territory and other parts of the country are not reported to the authorities. The newspaper says Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo, has presented a report on the explosion that occurred in Ibadan, the state capital, to President Bola Tinubu.

 

The Nation reports that the federal government said the process for accessing the student loan will be seamless. The newspaper says the court has approved the creation of another association for Nigerian lawyers different from the existing Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
Daily Trust reports that Tinubu has commenced a move to reconcile Rabiu Kwankwaso, the national leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and Abdullahi Ganduje, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), ahead of the president’s re-election bid in 2027.
THISDAY reports that Aliko Dangote, Nigeria’s business tycoon, has retained his position as the richest person in Africa, with a net worth of $13.9 billion, according to the 2024 Forbes list of 20 of Africa’s Richest billionaires. The newspaper says the federal high court in Abuja told Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers, that by withdrawing all the processes he filed in the suit before it, he had admitted to all the allegations against him and was, consequently, deemed liable.
