CHIEF KEFAS WUNGAK ROPSHIK: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

I woke up this morning to the devastating reports of yet another massacre in Dang Per, Bwai District of Mangu LGA, where more than 20 innocent lives were reportedly lost. This follows the recent attacks in Rim, Wereng, Mawuri and Yelwa. The frequency, ferocity and sheer impunity with which these attacks are being perpetrated have become intolerable. Enough is enough.

I am profoundly pained by the relentless slaughter of our people. Plateau cannot become a theatre where citizens are repeatedly murdered, communities displaced and families shattered, only for government officials to issue condolences after each tragedy. Condolences are no substitute for security; expressions of grief cannot resurrect the dead. The magnitude of this crisis now demands extraordinary, immediate and unequivocal action.

I therefore call on the Plateau State Government to declare a state of emergency on security and immediately convene an emergency security summit involving the relevant Service Chiefs, heads of security and intelligence agencies, Local Government Chairmen, traditional rulers, community leaders and other critical stakeholders. This crisis requires a unified command structure, actionable intelligence and an unrelenting operational response.

Our security personnel must be adequately equipped and empowered to confront this menace. The State Government must urgently provide operational vehicles, communications equipment, surveillance capabilities and other essential logistics. Operation Rainbow must be substantially strengthened, properly equipped and integrated into a robust, intelligence-driven security architecture capable of preventing attacks rather than merely responding to their aftermath.

Where conventional security mechanisms prove incapable of apprehending those responsible, I urge the Governor to explore every lawful and constitutionally permissible option, including the engagement of specialised external expertise

Good morning fellow Nigerians

Start your day right with these 10 must-know updates from Nigeria's latest news this Tuesday morning:

1. Nigeria’s headline inflation rate eased to 15.43 per cent in July 2026. However, the latest figures from the National Bureau of Statistics showed renewed pressure on food prices. According to the data, food inflation accelerated sharply on a month-on-month basis. The NBS disclosed this in its Consumer Price Index report for July 2026, released on Monday, showing that headline inflation fell by 0.48 percentage points from the 15.91 per cent recorded in June.

2. The Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Mr Blessing Agbebaku on Monday resigned from his position amid reports of an impending impeachment by members of the assembly.

8. Deji Adeleke, a businessman and the father of afrobeats singer, Davido, has alleged that the All Progressives Congress, APC, spent around ₦60 billion on vote-buying during the Osun State governorship election.

MY TAKE ON PSQUARE AND JUDE SAGA

1. They spent time building brand and making money, but they did not spent time to build family ties

2. They were so good at what they do, to the point they started seeing themselves as business associates not blood Brothers anymore

3. Jude forced himself into them, forgetting the fact that Paul and Peter are one not two. By experience, I've learned over the years that three people cannot be friends or business associates without any of the two betraying or backstabbing the other

4. Jude should have played the role of a father by uniting his younger brothers, but instead, he chose "divide and rule" to swindle them

5. Neither Peter, nor Paul is bigger or better than Psquare. No matter how they try individually, none of them can outshine Psquare or break the record set by them collectively

6. Let them reunite as brothers first and build family bond before thinking of doing music together

7. Let Jude step aside as manager, and let them look for someone they are all comfortable with to manage them.

8. Let Jude initiate the reconciliation process by doing an apology video, taking the blame for what happened, and also share the royalties diverted to North Side Music

9. Close down North Side Music after sharing the diverted royalties equally between the three of them

10. Let them seek for forgiveness from the people who played major roles in their journey to stardom. Because it is alleged that they turn their backs on people who contributed significantly to their rising. Matter of fact, It should start with a free show in Jos

I pray peterpsquare and Rudeboy get to see this
