EFCC to Apologise to Doctors Over Uyo Teaching Hospital Raid
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has agreed to apologise to doctors and medical workers following backlash over its controversial operation at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, where officers reportedly used teargas and force while attempting to arrest suspected fraud suspects within the facility. The decision followed meetings with the Nigerian Medical Association and hospital authorities after the raid triggered outrage, protests, and an indefinite strike by doctors, who argued that the operation endangered patients and violated the sanctity of a medical environment. The EFCC maintained that its officers were pursuing criminal suspects but admitted that aspects of the operation generated avoidable tension, prompting moves toward reconciliation with the medical community.
FG Promises Fairer Tax System for Nigerians
The Federal Government says its ongoing tax reforms are designed to create a fairer, simpler, and more inclusive system that reduces the burden on low-income earners and small businesses while improving transparency and economic growth. Officials behind the reforms said most Nigerian workers and nearly all small businesses will either pay significantly less tax or become exempt from certain taxes under the new framework, which took effect in 2026. The reforms also aim to eliminate multiple taxation, modernise revenue collection through digital systems, and make Nigeria’s business environment more attractive to investors, with the government insisting the new structure is intended to reward productivity rather than “tax poverty.”
Frank Edoho Says He Doesn’t Want His Death Linked to Any Woman
Popular TV host Frank Edoho has opened up about his fear of dying from emotional pain caused by a woman, saying he does not want heartbreak or family-related emotional trauma to define the end of his life. Speaking during an interview amid the ongoing public fallout with his estranged wife, Sandra Onyenucheya, Edoho reflected on male vulnerability and silent suffering, revealing that he once endured a severe personal crisis for two years without telling anyone. He added that he hopes to be remembered instead for putting smiles on people’s faces and living a life of service rather than emotional destruction
Tiwa Savage Says African Music Is Facing a “Correction Phase,” Not Decline
Tiwa Savage has pushed back against claims that African music is losing momentum globally, arguing instead that the industry is entering a necessary “correction phase” focused on building stronger infrastructure and long-term sustainability. Speaking at the Oxford Africa Conference, the Afrobeats star said the slowdown after years of explosive growth should not be mistaken for collapse, comparing the current moment to similar cycles previously experienced by genres like hip-hop, R&B, and pop. She stressed that the industry now needs to focus on structures such as education, management, and business systems to sustain its global success.
Carter Efe Explains Why He Has “A Problem” With Wizkid
Carter Efe has said his issue with Wizkid is not about the singer’s music or talent but what he described as Wizkid’s “personality” and lack of support toward him over the years, especially after the release of his viral tribute song “Machala.” The streamer claimed he felt abandoned by the Starboy boss despite heavily promoting him publicly, adding that the frustration partly fueled his recent celebrity boxing challenge directed at Wizkid after defeating Portable in the ring. Wizkid has largely ignored the comments and has not publicly responded to Carter Efe’s repeated remarks.
