A Nigerian man staged a public protest in Ado-Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti State, challenging claims that the state has experienced significant transformation under Governor Abiodun Oyebanji.

His response follows comments by comedian Seyi Law, who recently praised the governor’s performance and said he would be campaigning for Oyebanji’s second term.

In a series of videos shared online, the man toured several inner roads within Ado-Ekiti, showing areas he described as neglected and poorly maintained.

He also filmed some public school buildings, highlighting what he claimed were substandard conditions.

Additionally, he drew attention to a bridge project which he alleged has been under construction for about three years without completion. According to him, the unfinished structure has become an environmental hazard for residents living nearby.

Suspected kidnappers have k!lled a 50-year-old community leader, Chief Jimoh Jacob Ogbie, and abducted his daughter and another young woman in Idoa Community, Esan West Local Government Area of Edo state.

Sources said the incident occurred at about 9:40 p.m. on February 23, 2026 at the victim’s residence in Idoa Community.

Chief Jacob was reportedly attacked and k!lled by the assailants, while his 23-year-old daughter, Nene Jacob, was abducted alongside one of her friends whose identity had yet to be ascertained.

The corpse has been deposited at a morgue for autopsy.

Search and rescue efforts have since been intensified, with security operatives conducting bush-combing operations in the area to secure the release of the victims and apprehend the perpetrators.

A 31-year-old Nigerian man has been jailed for s3xually assaulting two women on board Hampshire to London trains, following a British Transport Police (BTP) investigation.

Esosa Eguakin, of Courtelle Road, Coventry, pleaded guilty to two counts of S3xual Assault at an earlier hearing and was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment on Tuesday 10 February, 2026 at Guildford Crown Court.

BTP in a statement published on Monday, February 23, disclosed that Eguakin also received a five-year S3xual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) which prohibits him from doing a number of things, including sitting or standing next to or opposite any lone women.

The court heard how on 21 August last year, Eguakin was on board a service from Fratton to London Waterloo on the early morning commute just after 7.15am. Eguakin intentionally sat behind a woman in her 30s and s3xually assaulted her.

Then on 6 October shortly after 6am on board a service from Eastleigh to London Waterloo, Eguakin s3xually assaulted another woman. When she confronted him, he claimed he was trying to retrieve his phone that he had dropped.

He refused to move away from her, and an off-duty police officer intervened to escort him off the train at Woking.

The officer arrested Eguakin and kept him at the station until officers arrived and took him to custody.

A subsequent investigation into both offences led by BTP detectives resulted in Eguakin being charged with two counts of s3xual assault.
