NNAMDI KANU: US LAWMAKER WARNS NIGERIA OVER AID | ENUGU AIR ISSUES SAFETY UPDATE

Social media is buzzing over two major stories dominating conversations across Nigeria. First, a United States Congressman, John James, has called on the Nigerian government to release IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu or risk reductions in US assistance. He also urged that Kanu be granted a fresh trial in accordance with Nigeria's Constitution and internationally recognised human rights standards. The remarks have generated widespread reactions online, with Nigerians debating their implications for the country's judiciary, sovereignty, diplomacy, and international relations. The second story focuses on Enugu Air's response following the runway excursion involving one of its Lagos–Benin flights.

He confirmed that Enugu Air is cooperating fully with aviation authorities as investigations continue, acknowledged the temporary closure of Benin Airport's runway, and promised that further updates would be communicated through the airline's official channels.
