Naija Anchor News – Daily Top Stories | June 16, 2025
Welcome to another edition of **Naija Anchor News**, where we bring you the most important stories shaping Nigeria today. From court rulings to national accountability, let’s dive in:
1. Court Orders Final Forfeiture of \$2M, Seven Properties Linked to Emefiele
In a major anti-corruption development, a federal high court has ordered the *final forfeiture* of *\$2 million**, seven landed properties, and various **share certificates* linked to former CBN Governor **Godwin Emefiele**.
According to the EFCC, Emefiele *did not contest* the forfeiture within the court’s stipulated time — a silence that has now sealed the assets' fate.
Will this case mark a turning point in Nigeria’s anti-corruption war?
2. Tinubu, NASS Not to Blame for LG Autonomy Delay — Senator Karimi
Senator Sunday Karimi of Kogi West says President *Bola Tinubu* and the *National Assembly* should not be blamed for the *slow implementation* of the Supreme Court's ruling on local government financial autonomy**.
He insists the state governors are the ones resisting full autonomy, stalling the constitutional reform.
Is the struggle for LG autonomy being hijacked at the state level?*
3. N39B ICC Renovation Contract Under Fire – PDP Group Demands EFCC Probe
The *Conference of Professionals in the PDP (CP-PDP)* is calling for an immediate *EFCC investigation* into the *N39 billion* reportedly spent on the *International Conference Centre (ICC) renovation* in Abuja.
According to the group, the spending is suspicious and lacks transparency.
Where is the accountability for billion-naira government projects?
4. Benue Killings: Premeditated, Unprovoked — Says Hon. Gbillah**
Hon. Mark Gbillah, former House of Reps member from Benue, has described the recent killings in the state as *premeditated and unprovoked attacks* against his people.
He praised the Pope*for speaking out on the matter — long before Nigeria’s federal or state leaders reacted. Gbillah also criticized security agencies for their **double standards**, saying peaceful protests are often crushed, while **terrorist violence goes unchecked**.
How many more lives will it take before real action is taken in Benue?*
5. Gbillah to Tinubu: Your Reprisal Claims Are Misguided**
Responding to President Tinubu’s claim that the killings in Benue were *reprisals**, Hon. **Gbillah* stated that such views **fail to grasp the reality on ground**.
He described the President’s comments as *misinformed* and *insensitive**, urging the federal government to **properly investigate* the root causes instead of offering **blanket statements**.
🔥 Is the government’s narrative out of touch with ground realities in conflict zones?
What to Think About:
✅ Is Emefiele’s forfeiture a signal that corruption is finally being punished?
✅ Who’s really blocking LG autonomy — the presidency or the governors?
✅ Are state-sponsored projects becoming easy pipelines for public looting?
✅ Can the Benue crisis force a nationwide security reform?
Over to You, Naija…
Is justice finally catching up with the powerful?
Should state governors be held more accountable for blocking local government reforms?
Can the federal government do more than just talk when it comes to Benue?
