Morning recap: DSS arrests Maina’s son, hunger hits Ondo communities, other stories

The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested Abdulrasheed Maina's son, Faisal, and handed him over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Intelligence indicated that Faisal had secretly returned to Nigeria. The arrest took place in the Karsana area of Abuja. Meanwhile, the death of gospel singer Toluwanisings has sparked outrage after claims that several hospitals in Ibadan rejected his emergency treatment.

Additionally, the crash of a Nigerian Air Force jet in Ondo State has led to a hunger crisis in the affected communities as fishermen and boat operators struggle to feed their families.
