Terrorists Bomb Radio Station, IGP Beefs Security in Media Houses

An improvised explosive device detonated at a radio station in Kogi State Monday night killing at least four people, police said on Tuesday.

Mr. Solomon Arase, acting Inspector-General of Police (IG), has therefore ordered a tight security around media houses nationwide to avoid attacks on both the organisations and journalists.

It was unclear whether the attack on the local language Ta’o FM station in Okene town was orchestrated by Boko Haram militants or the powerful organised robbery and kidnapping rings that operate in the West African country.

“Three security guards and an engineer working for the station were killed. We are investigating who could be responsible and why,” Shola Adebayo, the public relations officer for state police, told Reuters.

Adebayo said police believed Ta’o FM was the target.

While Kogi is a way off from northeastern Nigeria, where Islamist group Boko Haram has waged a six-year insurgency, the region has also experienced intermittent attacks by the militants’ intent on creating a caliphate in West Africa.

But the acting Inspector-General of Police has ordered a tight security around media houses nationwide to avoid attacks on both the organisations and journalists.

Emmanuel Ojukwu, force spokesperson, said in a stamen that “The IG is concerned about the recent attacks on the media houses and journalists. He therefore ordered water-tight security around media houses nationwide.

“This is in line with the mandate of the Nigeria Police Force to protect lives and property of the citizens under the law. The IG acknowledges the valuable roles of the media to the enthronement of democracy in Nigeria.”

The statement said the IG further advised Nigerians to be more vigilant and proactive, and to report any suspicious movement or persons to the police promptly for appropriate action.

FBNQuest Trustees Limited, a subsidiary of First HoldCo Plc, provider of trust solutions to individuals, corporate and government institutions, recently hosted its inaugural Estate Planning Summit in Port Harcourt.

The maiden event, themed: Wealth Preservation and Transfer without Hassle, was organised to strategically enlighten and empower the participants with the necessary knowledge required to seamlessly manage and successfully transfer their assets and legacies to their beneficiaries.

Speaking at the event, the Acting Managing Director, FBNQuest Trustees, Babajide Fetuga, stressed the critical importance of seeking professional guidance on estate planning, preservation and transfer of wealth to successive generations and other beneficiaries. He stated that a professionally drafted estate plan gives no room for any form of ambiguity; hence, it provides clear directives on what to do at any time.

‘’The potential consequences of not having an estate plan include perennial family disputes and protracted court cases, which may result in a huge financial burden and foster long-lasting resentments among loved ones if proactive steps are not undertaken to protect individuals, families and loved ones from avoidable stress.

‘’Understanding the values of wealth preservation is crucial. It is vital to recognize the importance of having a strategic estate planning blueprint, and we are determined to educate you with knowledge that not only informs but inspires you to take the necessary actions as you move forward,” he added.

FBNQuest Trustees is dedicated to promoting effective estate planning solutions. The company has a track record of successfully hosting estate planning summits in Abuja, Lagos, Minna and Ibadan and continues to emphasize the importance of thoughtful planning through initiatives like the Legacy Series Campaign and the Legacy Room podcast.

The summit featured industry experts who delivered valuable insights on the significance of wealth preservation and transfer, addressing the residents of Port Harcourt and its environs. The discussions focused on practical approaches and proactive measures attendees can adopt to manage their estates effectively and minimize potential future challenges.

Meta has announced new measures to tackle spammy content on Facebook, aiming to enhance the Feed experience and support authentic creators. These updates are part of Meta’s broader commitment to fostering a platform where meaningful interactions thrive.

The initiative includes reducing the visibility of spammy content. Accounts that share duplicate posts, irrelevant captions, or excessive hashtags will lose reach and monetization eligibility. Spam networks that create multiple accounts to share identical content will also face decreased visibility.

Meta is increasing efforts to detect and remove fake accounts and pages involved in coordinated engagement or impersonation.

In 2024, the platform removed millions of such accounts. Features in Moderation Assist have been enhanced to auto-hide comments from suspected fake identities, and creators can now report impersonators directly in comments.

To further support original content, Meta continues to improve its Rights Manager tool, helping creators protect their work. Updated guidance aims to encourage creators to share authentic and engaging content to ensure their success on the platform.

Oluwasola Obagbemi, Head of Communications for Sub-Saharan Africa at Meta, emphasized the importance of creating an environment where creators who invest in meaningful content are recognized and rewarded.

Meta remains committed to fostering a positive and authentic environment for creators and users alike. Let me know if you’d like more adjustments!

MTN Nigeria is bringing its Go Make A Difference (Go M.A.D) campaign to Kano, the heartbeat of Northern Nigeria’s commerce, industry, and cultural heritage, on Friday, April 25, at Coolio Restaurant & Lounge.

This initiative is part of MTN’s continued mission to inspire Nigerians to take bold steps toward community development and digital empowerment.

Following exciting events in Abuja, Enugu, Calabar, Ibadan, Benin, Aba and Jos, the campaign now makes its way to Kano—a city renowned for its cultural pride and being the centre of commerce of northern Nigeria.

At the campaign launch, Onyinye Ikenna-Emeka, Chief Marketing Officer of MTN Nigeria, shared the vision behind Go M.A.D. “At MTN, we’re committed to progress—empowering Nigerians to rise above challenges and build something remarkable.

“Go M.A.D. is built on the idea that MTN data gives you the power to go further, dream bigger, and create real impact in your family, your business, and your community.

“This campaign is our way of saying: we see your hustle, we believe in your ideas, and we’re here to support your journey.”

In Kano, attendees will experience a unique blend of entertainment, Hausa culture, interactive games, and inspiring real-life stories with special guest appearances by notable celebrities.

The event will also feature Kahoot trivia games, a Go M.A.D puzzle, a pledge wall, and exciting giveaways of MTN-branded merchandise and digital devices.

The event aims to spotlight local entrepreneurs, artisans, creatives, and digital innovators from Kano who are making a real difference and standing out in their industries.

It will shine a light on individuals who are leveraging MTN’s digital tools to scale their businesses, refine their crafts, share bold ideas, and build sustainable careers in one of Nigeria’s most industrious cities.

Kano, with its deep-rooted legacy in trade, craftsmanship, and innovation, is an ideal host city for the Go M.A.D. campaign.

The event will honour other Go M.A.D. icons—local changemakers who are using technology, business acumen, and creativity to transform their communities and inspire others.

These icons reflect how digital access can break barriers and open up opportunities for growth and success.

The event will also celebrate Kano’s vibrant culture with traditional music performances, local fashion showcases and creative displays that highlight the city’s rich heritage. More than just a one-day experience, Go M.A.D. is a movement, one that encourages Kano’s youth to harness their talents, embrace digital innovation, and create real impact where it matters most.

With this activation, MTN reinforces its commitment to innovation, storytelling, and community-driven progress.

The Go M.A.D. campaign aims to build a generation of empowered Nigerians who are ready to make a difference, starting with their communities.
