The Oyo State Government has commenced the demolition of a kidnappers' hideout in the Lakoun community, along the Ayegun-Olojuoro Road in Ibadan. This structure was identified as the operational base where Mrs. Olaide Adegoke John-Paul, the younger sister of former Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, and her 12-year-old twin sons were held captive before their rescue over the weekend. The demolition follows a security assessment of the site led by the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Oluwagbemiga Abimbola. During the rescue operation on Saturday, two members of the kidnapping syndicate were killed, and four suspects were subsequently paraded at the State Police Headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan. Authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and report any fleeing members of the syndicate.

The Fertilizer and Agro-Allied Dealers Association FADA, Plateau State chapter, has expressed concern over the increasing circulation of fake and adulterated fertilisers in markets across the state. Mr. Geoffrey Monday Bisat, Chairman of FADA in Plateau State, stated that this trend threatens food production and farmers' livelihoods, especially as farmers are already facing significant post-harvest losses, declining prices for farm produce, and rising agricultural input costs. Bisat warned that fake fertilisers reduce crop yields and pose a serious threat to food security. He urged farmers to buy from approved, reputable, and registered dealers and to report cases of fake fertiliser distribution to security and regulatory agencies. Bisat also noted that the rising prices of fertilisers are due to global market disruptions and geopolitical tensions, not local dealers, and expressed hope for price stabilization with improved global conditions. FADA reaffirmed its commitment to providing genuine fertilisers and called on government agencies and stakeholders to combat fake products to protect the future of farming in the state.
