In a move aimed at bolstering and promoting the thriving entertainment industry in Plateau State, the Performing Musician Employers Association of Nigeria (PMAN) Plateau State Chapter has joined forces with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Hospitality to launch a major revenue drive initiative. This collaborative effort is set to ensure the organized and seamless execution of events throughout the state.
According to the official announcement, all event centers and venues are hereby required to obtain clearance from event organizers, managers, and promoters before permitting the use of their premises.

This partnership is expected to provide valuable support to both emerging and established talents within Plateau State, with the backing of the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC).
Governor Humphry also stressed the importance of working closely with event organizers to meticulously assess and ensure that events meet the required standards. This collaboration aims to prevent any negative impact on the reputation of the entertainment industry in Plateau State.
Event organizers seeking clearance can obtain the necessary documentation by visiting the PMAN Secretariat located at Luka Bentu Indoor Theater, Opposite Plateau Riders, along Tafawa Belewa Street in Jos. For further information and inquiries, interested parties can also contact PMAN at the following phone numbers: 08037318256 and 07035638959.

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.
