  "account": "The House of Representatives Ad Hoc Committee investigating the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) has discovered 58 bank accounts allegedly associated with its detained Director-General, Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, along with a purported N400 million fraudulent transaction. The committee also found the council's establishment documents to be fabricated. Uber has announced it will cease operations in Nigeria starting September 2, 2026, following a business review. The company expressed gratitude to its drivers but did not provide details on the reasons for the exit. The Nigeria Democratic Congress has disowned 10 candidates published by INEC for the upcoming Anambra State House of Assembly elections, asserting that they were neither nominated nor submitted the necessary Form EC9E documents. The party further demanded an electronic audit of INEC's nomination portal, citing concerns over disinformation potentially undermining the 2027 polls.",
