In a display of solidarity and support, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has dispatched a high-level Federal Government delegation to Niger State to express condolences to the government and people of the state in the wake of the recent devastating floods that ravaged Mokwa and its environs. The tragic incident resulted in significant loss of life, widespread displacement of residents, and extensive destruction of property, prompting immediate action from the Federal Government.

The delegation, which includes the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, and the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, paid a courtesy visit to the Deputy Governor of Niger State, Mr. Yakubu Garba. During the visit, Minister Idris conveyed President Tinubu’s heartfelt condolences, emphasizing the President’s deep sadness and solidarity with those affected by the disaster.

“We are here on the directive of Mr. President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu… to commiserate with you; to sympathize and empathize with you on what has happened in Mokwa Local Government Area,” stated Minister Idris, highlighting the President’s directive to deploy all available Federal Government resources to the affected area.

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has already conducted a comprehensive assessment of the situation and mobilized resources to provide immediate relief and support to affected communities, working in close collaboration with the Niger State Government. Minister Idris also noted the President’s concern regarding the recurrence of such disasters, emphasizing the government’s commitment to ensuring adequate preparedness and mitigation measures are in place for future incidents. Furthermore, the President has directed the National Orientation Agency (NOA) to collaborate with state governments to intensify public sensitization efforts, particularly in flood-prone communities, to promote adherence to early warning signs and encourage proactive preventive measures.

Prof. Yilwatda, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, stated that the government is exploring avenues for additional support for displaced persons and has directed the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons to assume responsibility for the continued care and support of those displaced by the disaster, taking over from NEMA.

Deputy Governor Garba expressed the Niger State Government’s profound gratitude to the Federal Government for its swift and compassionate response, acknowledging President Tinubu’s rapid intervention as a clear demonstration of the administration’s commitment to the well-being of its citizens. The Federal Government’s prompt response underscores its commitment to providing timely assistance and support to communities affected by natural disasters and ensuring the safety and well-being of all Nigerians.

Boulder, Colorado, became the scene of a violent incident on Sunday, as a man attacked a group of demonstrators with a makeshift flamethrower, injuring eight people. The FBI is investigating the event as a “targeted terror attack.”

The victims, four women and four men aged between 52 and 88, were participating in a “Run For Their Lives” event organized to raise awareness for Israeli captives held in Gaza. The suspect, identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, allegedly yelled, “Free Palestine,” during the assault, according to FBI Special Agent Mark Michalek.

Emergency services transported the injured to local hospitals, with initial reports indicating serious injuries. Soliman was taken into custody and also received hospital treatment for injuries sustained during the incident. While formal charges have not yet been announced, officials have stated their intention to hold him “fully accountable.”

Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn refrained from speculation but confirmed the victims’ injuries were consistent with having been set on fire. He emphasized the peaceful nature of the demonstration and condemned the attack as “unacceptable,” urging the community to focus on supporting the victims and their families.

The incident occurs amidst rising tensions in the United States related to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has fueled an increase in both anti-Semitic and Islamophobic incidents. The attack has drawn condemnation from Colorado Governor Jared Polis, who decried “hate-filled acts of any kind,” and from Boulder’s Jewish community, which expressed sadness and heartbreak.

Authorities are continuing their investigation into the attack. Al Jazeera’s Alan Fisher reported that witnesses described the suspect using what appeared to be Molotov cocktails. The FBI’s involvement underscores the seriousness of the incident and the potential for federal charges related to terrorism. The events in Boulder highlight the growing polarization and potential for violence surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict within the United States.

Reports from media outlets in Gaza indicate the death of Dr. Hamdi al-Najjar, a physician, from wounds sustained during an Israeli airstrike last week. The strike targeted his family residence in Khan Younis, resulting in the death of nine of his ten children.

Dr. Alaa al-Najjar, Dr. al-Najjar’s wife, was previously photographed visiting her injured husband in the intensive care unit. She survived the attack as she was at work at the time. A widely circulated image last week depicted Dr. al-Najjar alongside his sole surviving child; at the time, he appeared physically unharmed. The cause of his death has not been independently verified.

The Israeli military previously stated that the airstrike targeted individuals identified by IDF forces operating in a structure near their position in Khan Younis, characterizing the area as a dangerous combat zone cleared of civilians for their protection. Claims of harm to non-combatants are currently under review.
