@dailyplug9ja: Here’s everything that happened in Nigeria today. Police officers in the Warri musician “OG Million” killing case have pleaded not guilty, despite viral video evidence and public outrage over the alleged extra-judicial killing, with the Asaba High Court remanding them for a July 14, 2026, trial. The charges follow allegations of negligence leading to the death. INEC has restored NDC’s nomination portal access, and Henry Dickson says the party can now upload the names of Seriake Dickson, Peter Obi and other candidates despite the legal dispute over its status. First Lady Remi Tinubu says her remarks were misunderstood, insisting that government support is not only for akara sellers but also for tomato, pepper, vegetables and other petty traders. President Tinubu has approved 27 road projects worth more than ₦3.9 trillion across 15 states as part of a broader infrastructure drive. ASUU is threatening strike action in 11 state universities over unpaid allowances, raising the risk of fresh disruption in higher education. The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted Omoyele Sowore bail in the sum of ₦200 million, with two sureties and an order that he deposit his passport. Nigeria is seeking compensation for abandoned businesses and property owned by its citizens in South Africa, while another 271 Nigerians have returned to Lagos under the voluntary repatriation programme. EFCC says it has recovered more than ₦38.66 billion in cash and assets in its refinery-rehabilitation probe, with several former and serving NNPCL-linked officials now facing possible prosecution. Students at FUT Minna reportedly locked the vice-chancellor out of the main gate over insecurity and repeated robbery attacks, signaling growing frustration on campus. Nigerian Ambassador Kayode Are says President Tinubu may soon travel to the U.S. for a meeting with Trump. Lagos residents are again complaining online about flooding in different parts of the state after heavy rain caused widespread disruption. #trendingnews #newsupdate #nigerianews
