Plateau Governor Returns from U.S., Assures Supporters Amid Court of Appeal Ruling
In a resolute address to a massive crowd of supporters gathered outside the Deputy governor’s residence in Jos today, Plateau State Governor Barrister Caleb Mutfwang urged the people of Plateau State to maintain their faith and composure following a recent Court of Appeal ruling against some Federal legislators from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Governor Mutfwang, who just returned from the United States of America, emphasized his unwavering confidence in the justice system. He assured the citizens that any perceived wrongs would be rectified in the upcoming judgments.
He also called upon the people not to make derogatory remarks against judicial officers in the wake of the Court of Appeal decisions, highlighting that these setbacks were only temporary. He expressed his belief that justice would ultimately be served, reaffirming the mandate freely given to the PDP by the Plateau people.
The Governor extended his gratitude to the citizens of Plateau State for their overwhelming support, stressing that the state belonged to all and urging his supporters to trust in God, who he believed was responsible for their victory and would continue to safeguard it.
“I trust that justice would be served because we didn’t rob anybody of their mandate,” he said.
Governor Mutfwang underlined that his recent trip to the United States aimed to attract investment and opportunities for the state. He expressed optimism that these efforts, by the grace of God, would yield results in the near future.
The Governor also reiterated his administration’s commitment to improving the living standards of all Plateau citizens and dismissed any baseless allegations of bias against individuals of different faiths or tribes. He announced that the distribution of fertilizers to farmers across the state would commence soon, demonstrating his dedication to the well-being of the people.

BY SUNDAY SAMUEL—Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested four suspected notorious cultists linked to a series of violent crimes and cult-related activities within Alimosho and its environs.
The suspects, identified as 34-year-old Nurudeen Ganiu, 38-year-old Oluwaleke Fagbula, 41-year-old Emmanuel Silas, and 41-year-old Nurudeen Abdullahi, were apprehended during a midnight initiation ceremony in the Egbeda area of Lagos State.
Acting on credible intelligence, police operatives launched a covert raid that disrupted the ring and led directly to their capture.
During the successful operation, law enforcement officers recovered one locally made cut-to-size pistol, one English Beretta pistol loaded with ten rounds of live ammunition, and a jackknife.
Further investigation by the Command revealed that one of the apprehended suspects is a notorious gang kingpin who was rusticated from a university in Ogun State in 2022 due to his involvement in cult activities. Police findings established that the gang has been deeply involved in local thuggery and has consistently terrorized residents of Egbeda and neighboring communities.
The suspects confessed to being active members of the Eiye Confraternity, a notorious secret cult group. Their standard mode of operation involved using motorcycles to launch swift attacks on unsuspecting members of the public and disrupting social gatherings at gunpoint.
The Commissioner of Police for the Lagos State Command commended the operatives for their professionalism and swift tactical response during the midnight raid. Reassuring residents of the state, the Commissioner emphasized that the Command remains steadfast in its resolve to combat cultism and eliminate violent crimes across Lagos. Members of the public were urged to stay vigilant and continue assisting law enforcement by reporting suspicious activities through the Command’s dedicated emergency lines.
