  Sep 18, 20262 min

  A miner survivor from Niger State’s deadly mining incident has leveled shocking allegations: NSCDC officers allegedly sprayed an unknown substance into a locked, overcrowded cell where 25 miners were detained — leading to mass collapses and ignored pleas for help. The survivor claims the horrific conditions began after their arrest, with temperatures soaring and victims dying despite being conscious. Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo visited survivors now under DSS custody, seeking firsthand accounts as authorities launch an urgent investigation into the mistreatment and potential cover-up.

  Fuel Prices Crushing Civil Servants | Nigeria News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  Petrol prices in the Federal Capital Territory have surged to between 1,388 and 1,450 naira per liter—up from 1,180 to 1,350 naira—crippling civil servants’ budgets. Daily commute costs have skyrocketed, with some now spending an extra 9,500 naira on fuel alone, forcing cuts in food, bills, and even ditching personal cars for public transport that’s also pricier. With stagnant salaries, workers are carpooling, switching to trains, or skipping commutes entirely, demanding urgent government action to fix public transport and ease the cost-of-living crisis.

  Yamal Exposes Subtle Racism in Sports | Nigeria News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  Barcelona’s 15-year-old phenom Lamine Yamal just dropped a gut-punch truth: he’s been targeted by racism a thousand times — often in subtle, unnoticed ways that sting more than overt slurs. From microaggressions to online hate, Yamal’s rise has been shadowed by abuse, even during high-stakes matches like his clash with Real Madrid. He clarifies that being called “Black” doesn’t bother him — it’s part of who he is — but when it’s wielded as an insult, that’s where the pain lies. On the pitch, he refuses to let it derail his focus; after all, fans paid to see him play. And according to Spain’s anti-racism watchdog, Yamal and Vinícius Jr. are among the most frequently attacked players online — even during the World Cup, where Islamophobic and racist content aimed at Yamal was flagged.
