Jacobs, ADC, ex-Kaduna AG, says Senate must allow Natasha back

 

He criticised the Senate for frustrating the judicial process through unending objections and preliminary filings in the case, rather than allowing the substantive issues to be heard.

Jacobs added: “They keep filing one objection or the other to make sure we don’t get to a hearing. ‘’If they believe they have evidence against her, let the matter proceed in court. But you can’t keep the case stalled and at the same time deny her return after the suspension period has lapsed.

Charlie Kirk's Controversial Rhetoric Sparks Calls for Civility in US Politics

 Mr. Kirk died on Wednesday after he was shot while speaking to roughly 3,000 people at Utah Valley University. He was at the Orem, Utah, campus launching his “American Comeback Tour,” in which he engaged college students across the country in provocative, sometimes fiery political debates. Officials at a news conference said they believed the shooting was “a targeted attack towards one individual.”

While the motive for the shooting remains unknown, Utah Republican Gov. Spencer Cox called it “a political assassination” and urged all Americans to engage in self-reflection. Why We Wrote This While the motive behind the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk remains unknown, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox called it “a political assassination.” Some experts say concerted leadership is needed to stem such violence. “We just need every single person in this country to think about where we are and where we want to be,” he said. “To ask ourselves, is this, is this it? Is this what 250 years has wrought on us? I pray that that’s not the case.” Mr. Kirk’s fatal shooting comes at a time of heightened political violence in America against Republicans and Democrats alike – including last year’s assassination attempts against then-presidential candidate Donald Trump; an arson attack on the home of Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro; and the slaying of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, also a Democrat, and her husband in June. Leaders from both parties strongly condemned Mr. Kirk’s shooting. “Utterly devastating,” wrote Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson on X, adding: “Every political leader must loudly and clearly decry this violence.” “Political violence is NEVER acceptable,” posted House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries. President Trump ordered the nation’s flags lowered to half-staff. ‘We can’t not pay attention.’ Student scores hit new lows on nation’s report card. Violence and threats against elected officials and public figures have spiked in recent years, as political rhetoric has darkened and grown more existential. Officials from the two major parties have repeatedly decried the violence and urged restraint, but polarizing and dehumanizing speech has also become far more commonplace. And though some data suggests that recent political violence has actually decreased voters’ hostility toward the opposing party, incidents like what happened on Wednesday afternoon remain far too common. To many, America feels like a tinderbox. And it might require a sustained effort – and bipartisan political will – to get back to a more civilized place. “The last era of political violence, at least at the scale we’re witnessing now, was in the 1960s and 1970s – and it took a long time to come out of that era,” says Matthew Dallek, a political historian at George Washington University. “I imagine that the country will come out of this era at some point, but it’s hard to see how that happens. It’s hard to see how institutions, individual leaders, civic society, really the culture, pushes back effectively to begin to curb its frequency and its allure and its impact.” Many on the left saw Mr. Kirk as a reckless provocateur. He once called transgender people an “abomination” and on Wednesday was answering a question regarding transgender mass shooters when the shot rang out. His supporters saw the young Republican as a fearless defender of conservative beliefs and Christian values, willing to hold political arguments in unfriendly territory such as overwhelmingly liberal college campuses. Americans on both sides have noted that Mr. Kirk was killed while engaging his opponents openly through ideas and speech. “Charlie believed in the power of free speech and debate to shape ideas and to persuade people,” said Governor Cox. “Historically, our university campuses ... have been the place where truth and ideas are formulated and debated. And that’s what he does. He comes on college campuses and he debates.

Residents ignored warnings: Oworonshoki demolition– Lagos

The Lagos State Government has clarified that the recent demolition of shanties and unapproved buildings at Oworonshoki followed due process. According to Mr. Gbolahan Oki, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, the affected structures were served demolition notices after residents ignored warnings to obtain planning permits ¹.

Key Points:

Amnesty Programme: The state government offered a three-phase amnesty from May 2024 to December 2024 for owners of unapproved buildings to regularize their documents. Despite this, most residents failed to comply, with only a few taking advantage of the program.
Demolition Justification: The government justified the demolition by citing security concerns, blocked drainage channels, and the need to improve emergency access routes. Oki emphasized that most demolished buildings were distressed and posed security threats.
Community Engagement: LASBCA officials, community leaders, and traditional leaders engaged residents through meetings and sensitization programs before the demolition.
Permit Process: Oki noted that obtaining a planning permit now takes 10 to 15 days once necessary documents are submitted, and the office issuing permits has been decentralized to all local government areas.
Statistics: During the amnesty period, 18,489 applications were submitted, and 8,856 planning permits were issued.

Residents, however, have expressed concerns over the demolition, citing severe hardships and economic disruption. Hundreds of residents were left stranded, and many families were rendered homeless ² ¹.
