@dailyplug9ja: Here’s everything that happened in Nigeria in the last 12 hours. Popular TikTok content creator Akube Nation has tragically died in a devastating car accident, with heartbreak deepening after reports surfaced that he allegedly insisted on driving the vehicle himself despite having absolutely no prior driving experience before the crash. A twenty-five-year-old corps member doctor, Wisdom Oghenetega Enakirerhi, has sadly passed away after his desperate requests for a three-week sick leave were allegedly repeatedly denied by authorities while he was serving his country in the NYSC program. The Federal Government is currently holding a crucial closed-door meeting with the management of Dangote Refinery and oil marketers to urgently push for a fair and immediate reduction in the price of petrol for all Nigerians nationwide. The Abia State Police Command has arrested thirty-five-year-old Nwoko Gift after a viral video exposed her allegedly attempting to kill her twelve-year-old niece, Ebo Chimamanda, with a kitchen knife in a shocking act of domestic violence. President Bola Tinubu has officially directed the FCCPC to launch a comprehensive investigation into major global tech giants like Meta, Google, and X for alleged anti-competitive practices and the unlawful exploitation of Nigerian news media content. President Tinubu has pledged to deploy artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to modernize the Nigerian Army, aiming to strengthen operational planning, boost local combat equipment production, and combat evolving security threats more effectively across the nation. Former Borno State Governor Ali Modu Sheriff has sparked significant political controversy by declaring that Northerners will never vote for Peter Obi, dismissing the Labour Party candidate's future presidential ambitions during a recent high-profile political interview. The Senate has officially approved a massive eleven trillion naira revenue target for the Nigeria Customs Service for the 2026 fiscal year following the agency’s successful budget defence session before the relevant committee at the National Assembly. The Anambra State Government has presented brand-new Sport Utility Vehicles to ten judges to ensure they can conveniently commute to their offices and discharge their duties efficiently, a move that has generated significant public conversation online. Gunmen suspected to be on a reprisal mission have invaded Rumuodogo 2 Community in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State, killing two residents and breaking into houses in a commando-style attack that has terrified the locality. The Federal Government has urged journalists and social media influencers to stop giving bandits and terrorists the publicity they crave, a call made by Minister Mohammed Idris at the maiden edition of the Arewa Media Summit. The Edo State Security Squad has directed all business owners across the state to install Closed-Circuit Television cameras at their premises on or before July 30 to help security agencies strengthen security and tackle rising crime. President Bola Tinubu has defended his administration’s decision to remove the Federal Capital Territory Administration from the Treasury Single Account, stating the move gives the FCT financial flexibility to fast-track infrastructure projects and drive Abuja’s transformation. Former Inspector-General of Police Mike Okiro has stated that the Nigeria Police Force is poorly funded, understaffed, and ill-equipped, arguing that these significant deficiencies are the primary reason for the growing calls for state police establishment. #trendingnews #newsupdate #nigerianews
