President Bola Tinubu has condemned the recent attacks by gunmen in Plateau and Kaduna States, describing the incidents as “barbaric and unacceptable.”

The attacks occurred in Angwan Rukuba district in Jos, Plateau State, and Kahir village in Kagarko Local Government Area, Kaduna State, leaving several people dead and others abducted, including wedding guests.

In a statement released on Tuesday through his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President assured Nigerians that the perpetrators would be brought to justice.

“Anyone who sneaks under the cover of night to kill defenceless citizens, as happened in Jos and Kahir village, is a heartless coward. By attacking soft targets, their objective is not only to inflict harm but also to trigger reprisals and further bloodshed,” the statement read.

President Tinubu directed security agencies to intensify efforts to track down the attackers and curb the spread of misinformation capable of escalating tensions. He also cautioned sections of the media against framing the attacks as religiously motivated.

He stressed the importance of public cooperation with authorities, saying, “I urge our security agencies to be more proactive in preventing these attacks by acting on early warning intelligence. All remaining abductees from Kahir village must be rescued immediately.”

The President also commended the efforts of the Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, and Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, for managing the crises and supporting rescue operations.

“I commend Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State for his efforts in containing the situation in Jos and Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State for supporting the rescue and containment efforts. I assure the people and governments of both states of my support,” he added.

President Tinubu extended condolences to the families of the victims and wished the injured a speedy recovery. He reiterated the government’s commitment to strengthening security operations nationwide.

“Our government is acquiring more sophisticated equipment to enable security agencies to track and neutralise criminals in real time, wherever they operate,” he said.

The Ondo State Police Command has dismissed claims of an impending terrorist attack in the state following the circulation of a viral video on social media warning residents of possible attacks in some communities.

In a statement issued by the command, the police described the claims contained in the video, allegedly made by a cleric, as unverified and lacking credible intelligence backing.

The command expressed concern over the panic generated by the video and warned residents against spreading unconfirmed information capable of creating fear and tension across the state.

According to the police, security agencies immediately activated intelligence and operational mechanisms to assess the authenticity of the claims and determine whether there was any threat to public safety.

Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Felix Ohagwu, was said to have ordered a thorough investigation into the source and content of the viral video. The command also disclosed that surveillance operations, intelligence gathering and security deployments had been intensified, particularly in vulnerable areas, to forestall any security breach.

The police, however, reassured residents that there is currently no confirmed intelligence suggesting any imminent attack in Ondo State.

The command added that it remains on high alert in collaboration with other security agencies and stakeholders to ensure the safety of lives and property across the state.

Residents were advised to remain vigilant and report suspicious persons or activities to the nearest police station or relevant security agencies while relying only on verified sources for security-related information.

The police further reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining peace and public order through continued collaboration with community leaders, traditional rulers, vigilante groups and other stakeholders in the state.

What ClickUp’s mass layoff tells us about the future of work

AI’s biggest champions have argued for some time that the technology will usher in an era of unprecedented productivity gains, richly rewarding workers who harness it while displacing those who don’t.

Zeb Evans, CEO of the collaboration software startup ClickUp, claims that this shift is imminent. Last Thursday, Evans announced on X that the company, which was last valued in 2021 at $4 billion, had laid off 22% of its workforce yet characterized that reduction as not a cost-cutting measure, but rather a radical embrace of AI that will propel the company to the next level.

“Most savings from this change will flow directly back into the people who stay. We’ll be introducing million-dollar salary bands. If you create outsized impact using AI, you’ll be paid outside of traditional bands,” Evans wrote.

ClickUp recently introduced roughly 3,000 internal AI agents to handle a wide range of complex tasks on behalf of its employees, according to a Fortune article published several days ago. Instead of performing the work themselves, staff members are now expected to direct these agents and ultimately review the output to ensure it meets the company’s standards.

Evans’s goal, according to his X post, is for AI to turbocharge ClickUp into a “100x org.”

ClickUp is not alone in its hope that AI agents will provide massive productivity gains.

In fact, according to a recent Gartner survey, about 80% of companies using autonomous tech have cut jobs. However, the study found that workforce reductions aren’t necessarily translating into meaningful financial returns.

While Gartner’s findings suggest some companies use unproven AI as an excuse to downsize, ClickUp maintains it is not one of them.

Evans told TechCrunch via email that the startup is indeed seeing productivity gains from AI agents. Not only is ClickUp measuring those efficiencies internally, but it’s also apparently gearing up to include them in a forthcoming product for its customers.

“Instead of gamifying token cost, we gamify value created and time saved,” Evans wrote.

In recent months, a growing number of companies have started monitoring employee token consumption, using it as a metric to see who is actually adopting AI tools. But critics argue that “tokenmaxxing”—as this concept is known—is the wrong metric because it simply racks up AI expenses.

“The people that automate their jobs with AI will always have a job,” Evans claimed in his post. But if AI keeps taking over more tasks, ClickUp will eventually need fewer and fewer people, eliminating those who fail to automate their functions well.

Tech circles have long theorized about this scenario.

One extreme example of a high-profile startup using AI automation to the max already exists. Polsia, a one-year-old startup that claims to handle all software operations for solopreneurs, is run by just one person: its founder and CEO, Ben Broca. That efficiency is apparently paying off: Polsia just raised $30 million at a $250 million valuation.
