vanguard news

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Benue State is mourning the loss of its Fiidi Council Ward Chairman, Mr. Igbu Terhemen, who was found dead near his residence in Makurdi.

According to reports, Terhemen left his home on Tuesday evening, September 30, 2026, to watch a local football match in the Kanshio area of Makurdi. When he did not return, family members and friends began searching for him.

He was later found in an unconscious state in a bush close to his house around the NNPC Depot along Makurdi-Otukpo Road at about 2 a.m. on Wednesday. He unfortunately passed away before receiving medical attention.

A family source disclosed that his phone was found on him, suggesting the incident may not be a case of robbery.

Confirming the incident, the NDC State Publicity Secretary, Agile Bem, in a statement on Wednesday, said the party was saddened by the development. The State Chairman, Ohini Ojegbe, described the incident as unfortunate and called on security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation to establish the circumstances surrounding his death.

The party described the late Terhemen as a committed and dedicated member whose contribution to the growth of the party in Fiidi Ward and Benue State will be missed.

The NDC extended its condolences to his immediate family, the Fiidi community, and all party members.

Police are yet to release an official statement as at press time.

  06:00 AM, 34,000 feet over Saudi Arabia. Inside Flydubai Flight FZ1073 , a Boeing 737 MAX 8, 174 people were asleep. 27 children. Businessmen returning to Tel Aviv. Families coming back from holiday in Dubai. The cabin was quiet. The seatbelt sign was off. In the cockpit, something went terribly wrong. Captain Smit Machchhar, an experienced Indian pilot, was at the controls with his co-pilot, an Omani national. What started as a disagreement quickly escalated. Then, according to reports from Israeli defence officials, the co-pilot pulled a sharp object and stabbed the Captain. His next move was even more chilling — he tried to crash the aircraft. He pushed the nose of the plane down. The aircraft, which was cruising peacefully at 34,000 feet, went into a terrifying dive.

Nigeria vs South Africa Again? Why This Rivalry Is Hurting Us and How We Can Glow Together

Image
Today, September 30th, 2026, the tension between two African giants is trending again. If you open X (Twitter), Facebook, or TikTok, you will see it: Nigerians and South Africans dragging each other. But this time, it's not about football or music. It's serious. Anti-migrant groups in South Africa have set today, September 30th, as a new deadline for undocumented foreigners to leave. Because of this, the Nigerian Union South Africa (NUSA) has told all Nigerians living in South Africa to stay vigilant, avoid crowded areas, and always have their ID with them. Nigeria's parliament has even suspended official visits to South Africa. As someone who believes in glowing together, this thing pain me. *Why Do Nigeria and South Africa Always Clash?* Let's be honest, we are like two big brothers in one house. 1.  *We are both giants.* Nigeria is Africa's most populous country. South Africa is Africa's most industrialized. We both want to lead. 2.  *...
