@dailyplug9ja: Here's everything that happened in Nigeria today. A Nigerian Air Force ATR-42 aircraft carrying twenty-five passengers and seven crew members crashed near an Ondo naval base on Monday, triggering an urgent search-and-rescue mission while aviation safety officials clarified that military crashes remain outside their civilian investigative mandate. A combined team of Nigerian troops and intelligence operatives successfully eliminated senior ISWAP commander Abdussamad Ohida in an Ondo forest, neutralising a major terrorist leader who was actively plotting coordinated attacks across southern states for the upcoming festive and election periods. Vice President Kashim Shettima announced two hundred and fifty million naira in federal support for the families of thirty-seven suspected miners who tragically died in September while being held inside the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps. The Independent National Electoral Commission announced that Nigeria's voter register has officially passed one hundred and three million citizens, fixing October ninth for nationwide Permanent Voter Cards collection ahead of the upcoming twenty-twenty-seven general elections. An Abuja Federal High Court ordered INEC to formally recognise Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim as the Accord Party’s presidential candidate, ruling that the party acted unlawfully by withholding his name after collecting fifty million naira in nomination fees. The National Information Technology Development Agency issued a strict advisory warning Nigerians to stop entering sensitive biometric and personal data into AI platforms, cautioning that information shared with these tools can be permanently stored beyond user control. Tragedy struck the medical community as brilliant twin sisters, a doctor and a pharmacist, died days apart from severe sickle cell complications, plunging the Federal Medical Centre Nguru and the entire Yobe State health sector into mourning. The Plateau State Police Command launched a full-scale investigation after gunmen shot and injured seven market traders along the Bukuru Expressway, with all victims currently receiving medical treatment at a local military clinic. The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control seized banned sachet and small plastic alcoholic beverages worth three hundred million naira during extensive enforcement raids targeted at multiple distributors and retailers across major Lagos markets. #TrendingNews #NigeriaNews #NewsUpdate #BreakingNews
