The paramount ruler of Mhiship Nation in Pankshin Local Council of Plateau State, HRH Sunday Dajep, who was kidnapped on Wednesday night of April 5, 2023, has been released unhurt after paying an undisclosed amount as ransom.

The monarch was reportedly released to his family on Saturday by his abductors.

According to a family source, the paramount ruler was warned not to disclose the amount paid before his release.

The source added that the kidnappers were not under any threat to do so, as they just freed him on their own volition.

Plateau State Police Command Spokesman, DSP Alfred Alabo, confirmed the release, adding that it was made possible by the efforts of the police and other security personnel, including Operation Safe Haven (OPSH).

He praised the Police Area Commander, who he said did a lot of things to effect the release.

On what the security personnel did before the traditional ruler’s rescue, Alabo said they “do not always disclose it,” so the criminals will not try to circumvent subsequent efforts.

The abductors had reportedly demanded N18 million to free the victim.

Instagram users could soon see more ways to tune their content, according to a recent post from Instagram head Adam Mosseri.

Specifically, Mosseri was showing off new ways that users might access Your Algorithm, a feature that allows them to specify which topics they want to see more of, and less of. Instagram launched Your Algorithm last year and has been introducing it to more areas of the app.

“We want to evolve Your Algorithm from a setting to something that feels central to your experience on Instagram,” Mosseri said. He also noted, “Some of this is testing now, some is coming soon, some might not work.”

The examples in his post include one where pulling down in your Instagram feed eventually brings up the Your Algorithm menu, and another where swiping up from a Reel could bring up a similar customization prompt. A third shows buttons beneath each Reel to indicate whether or not  you want to see more Reels like it.

The most popular comments on Mosseri’s post all make the same request. As one user put it, “WE JUST WANT OUR ALGORITHM TO SHOW THE PPL WE FOLLOW.”

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has asked President Bola Bola Tinubu to learn from former presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari, saying they never deregistered opposition political parties.

Atiku made the call on Saturday in reaction to an attempt to deregister the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, through the courts.

The former Vice President said attempts to restrict political competition run contrary to democratic principles and could erode public confidence in the electoral process.

“Former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari never deregistered opposition political parties. Copy and learn from them.

“If you’re truly popular and your policies have positively bettered the lives of the citizens, you shouldn’t be afraid of a free and fair competition,” Atiku said.
