AFCON 2027 qualifiers: Results of all yesterday’s matches [Full list]

Yesterday, the Edo State Special Criminal Court heard the sentencing of four kidnappers, who were each given the death penalty by hanging. Judge Terry Momodu Aigbona lauded residents for installing closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras at the vegetable market where a woman was abducted on June 14, 2026. Aigbona emphasized that CCTV is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for security in the age where crime has become sophisticated.

He urged all Edo State residents to install CCTV cameras in their homes, shops, vehicles, and business premises, and encouraged the government to incentivize this practice and install cameras in public places. Edo State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof Roland Otaru, praised the thorough, well-researched judgment delivered by the court and vowed that the state would be a no-go area for criminals, stating that nobody can compromise or blackmail the government.
