In today’s Nigerian newspapers’ review programme, Today in the News, Vanguard leads with outrage over the killings in Plateau State and Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s apology.

In Ondo, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) called on President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency, claiming the state is not safe.

Another headline has the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, tasking an oversight committee to monitor the activities of the sole administrator in Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd).

Moving on to other Nigerian newspapers, The Guardian’s top headline looks at how desperate Nigerians lost over N1 trillion to Ponzi schemes in nine years.

The Punch leads with the Interpol joining the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to probe alleged N1.3 trillion fraud perpetrated by China Beijing Equity Exchange (CBEX) in Nigeria.

Finally, The Nation’s biggest headline has the sole administrator in Rivers State, Ibas, threatening to sue the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) for refusing to return N300 million given to it by the suspended governor Siminalayi Fubara.
