‼️‼️The Edo State House of Assembly on Monday formally impeached the suspended Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku.
Agbebaku, who represents Owan West Constituency I, had, on Monday, August 17, 2026, resigned his position as Speaker of the House.
Yekini Idaiye, the lawmaker representing Akoko-Edo I, was then elected as his replacement.
However, eight days after the controversy began, the House converted Agbebaku’s resignation to impeachment.
The new Speaker, Idaiye, backed by some lawmakers, said the impeachment notice was signed by 17 members of the House.
He said the impeachment notice was formally presented by the Majority Leader during last Monday’s plenary, noting that the indefinite suspension had been converted to impeachment because Agbebaku’s resignation notice had not been officially presented and documented days after he was suspended.

‼️‼️President Bola Tinubu is set to lead a fresh continental push to stop Africa’s mineral wealth from leaving the continent largely as raw materials, as he chairs a high-level summit on critical minerals in New York next month.
The meeting, convened by the Africa Minerals Strategy Group on September 21, 2026, will be held in Manhattan on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly.
The meeting, convened by the Africa Minerals Strategy Group on September 21, 2026, will be held in Manhattan on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Tinubu, who is the Chairman of the AMSG General Assembly, will chair the Third High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa, with the gathering expected to bring together African leaders and government representatives, ministers, global investors, development finance institutions, multilateral organisations, and executives from mining, technology and logistics companies.
A statement issued by AMSG on Sunday said the summit, themed “From Resources to Wealth: Continental Cooperation for Mineral Value Addition,” comes as major economies intensify the search for secure supplies of minerals required for electric vehicles, renewable energy, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure and defence technologies.
It read, “Africa is set to make a major push for greater control over its critical minerals future as the Africa Minerals Strategy Group convenes its Third High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa in Manhattan, New York, on September 21, 2026, on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly.
The Roundtable will be chaired by His Excellency Bola Tinubu, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Chairperson of the AMSG General Assembly, underscoring Africa’s determination to place critical minerals at the centre of the continent’s industrial, economic and geopolitical agenda.”
Africa holds substantial deposits of several minerals at the centre of the global scramble, including lithium, copper, cobalt, graphite, manganese and rare earth elements.
However, the continent has historically exported much of its mineral resources in raw or minimally processed form, leaving other regions to capture a larger share of the value from refining, manufacturing and finished products built from the minerals.
The AMSG said the New York meeting would seek to change that pattern by moving African countries towards greater processing, manufacturing and integration of mineral value chains.
The Roundtable will focus on how African countries can move beyond the traditional extract-and-export model to build integrated mineral value chains, attract transformative capital, strengthen continental cooperation and secure a greater share of the economic value generated from Africa’s mineral resources,” the group said.

‼️‼️The Dangote Petroleum Refinery says it has expanded its free petroleum products delivery initiative to Kano, Imo, Anambra and Nasarawa states, a move it says is expected to reduce distribution costs for independent petroleum marketers and create room for lower petrol prices.
According to a statement on Sunday, the initiative, which initially covered Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Kaduna, Abuja and Delta states, is designed to bring petroleum products closer to marketers and retailers while eliminating the cost of transporting products over long distances from the refinery to different parts of the country.
By absorbing delivery costs, the refinery is reducing one of the major expenses embedded in the downstream petroleum products distribution chain.
Group Executive Director, Commercial Operations, Oil & Gas, WAEP and Fertiliser, Dangote Industries Limited, Fatima Aliko Dangote, said the initiative was aimed at ensuring that the benefits of domestic refining translated into savings for businesses and consumers.
The value of domestic refining must ultimately be felt beyond the refinery gate. By absorbing the cost of delivering petroleum products to our customers, we are removing a significant component of the distribution burden and creating room for those savings to flow through the value chain to consumers. Our goal is to make fuel distribution more efficient, reduce avoidable costs and support more competitive pump prices across Nigeria.”
The expansion was reportedly welcomed by the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, which said the initiative would reduce some of the financial and logistical pressures confronting independent petroleum marketers and contribute to lower prices for consumers.
National Publicity Secretary and Public Relations Officer of IPMAN, Chinedu Ukadike, was quoted as saying that the initiative addressed a longstanding challenge in the petroleum products distribution chain, where marketers commit substantial funds to product purchases and may then wait for extended periods before their orders are loaded and transported.
This gesture, if sustained, will be able to alleviate the sufferings of independent marketers. There has been the issue of financial hold-up, whereby marketers pay for products and are not loaded for days and weeks, and they suffer unnecessary hardship bringing the product down,” he stated.
According to him, the refinery’s delivery arrangement reduces the period for which marketers’ funds remain tied up, improves cash flow and allows businesses to deploy their capital more efficiently.
Dangote said the reduction in distribution costs is particularly significant for marketers supplying areas far from the refinery, as the transportation of petroleum products over long distances attracts additional expenses associated with haulage, vehicle operations, driver costs, insurance, road risks and other logistics.
It was stated that removing or reducing such costs could improve the economics of supplying distant markets and provide marketers with greater room to compete on retail prices.
The initiative also reduces the operational risks associated with moving large volumes of petroleum products over long distances by taking products closer to their destination markets.
The expansion comes as Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector continues to adjust to increased domestic refining capacity and a more competitive market environment.
The Dangote refinery, with a capacity of 700,000 barrels per day, has been supplying refined petroleum products to the domestic market while also expanding its presence in international markets.

‼️‼️A 23-year-old Omaha, Nebraska man who used ChatGPT to plan a bank robbery has been sentenced to 121 months in federal prison after he robbed a bank at gunpoint and threatened two employees with death.
Deron Lewis-Payne was sentenced on August 13, 2026, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Nebraska in a statement published on August 19 and cited by our correspondent on Monday.
The US Justice Department said Lewis-Payne received 37 months for bank robbery and another 84 months for brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, with the sentences to run consecutively. He will also serve five years of supervised release after his imprisonment.
The incident occurred on February 10, when Lewis-Payne entered i3Bank in Omaha carrying a black semi-automatic handgun and demanded money from two employees.
He pointed the handgun at the tellers and told them he would kill them if they did not comply,” the Justice Department said, adding that he ordered the employees to empty their cash drawers and warned them “not to include any dye packs with the cash.”
The tellers complied, allowing Lewis-Payne to escape with approximately $`9,175 in cash.
Investigators later used surveillance footage from the bank and nearby residential cameras to identify the suspect and the vehicle allegedly used in the robbery.
The investigation took another turn after officers examined Lewis-Payne’s phone, with investigators finding that he had used ChatGPT while preparing for the robbery.
So chatgpt is this good? 😄😄
