Mercedes G63 Kills Six Cows in Abuja Highway Crash

A luxury Mercedes-Benz G-Class G63 AMG was involved in a late-night crash on a major highway in Abuja, killing six cows and sparking renewed concerns over road safety and enforcement of grazing laws in the Federal Capital Territory.
The incident occurred around 8 p.m. on Monday,

according to eyewitness accounts, when the high-speed SUV collided with a herd of cows that had reportedly strayed onto the roadway. A video circulating on social media shows the aftermath, with the white cows lying across the dark highway as traffic officials worked to manage the situation.


As of the time of filing this report, there were no confirmed injuries to the driver or any passengers in the vehicle. Unverified reports on social media suggested that the SUV sustained only minor damage despite the severity of the collision.


The accident has reignited debates over the continued presence of cattle on major roads in Abuja, despite the 2017 ban on open grazing introduced by the Federal Capital Territory Administration. The policy was designed to curb frequent clashes between herders and communities, as well as prevent traffic disruptions and accidents caused by roaming livestock.

FIRS


Residents and road users have repeatedly raised concerns about the enforcement of the grazing ban, noting that cows are still often seen along highways and within urban areas of the capital. Monday night’s crash is the latest in a series of such incidents, highlighting ongoing gaps in regulation and compliance.


Authorities are yet to release an official statement on the crash or confirm whether any action will be taken regarding the presence of the cattle on the highway.

YALI NETWORK ABUJA MARKS A DECADE OF IMPACT AT SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

ABENDE Sylvester

April 27, 2026

Share for social good
        

The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) Network Abuja gathered in the nation’s capital on Saturday 25th April, 2026 to celebrate ten years of youth leadership, civic engagement, and community transformation. The milestone anniversary was observed as a special edition of the hub’s monthly Face to Face meeting, held under the theme Celebrating a Decade of Impact.

Founded on April 2, 2016, the Abuja chapter began modestly — a group of roughly 20 young people with a shared conviction that leadership could be learned, practised, and scaled. Mrs. Chidinma Afocha served as the network’s first interim leader, steering the hub from April to August 2016 before a formal election produced Mr. Dozie Nwanfor as the first elected Coordinator for the 2016/2017 tenure.

What that pioneer team accomplished was foundational: they took a globally available virtual structure and gave it a physical heartbeat — real meetings, real events, and real relationships. Nine coordinators have since carried that baton forward, each tenure building on the last. Today, YALI Network has a presence in over 29 states across Nigeria, a testament to what disciplined, purpose-driven youth organising can achieve.

The anniversary event drew over 100 participants in person, with additional members joining online. Dignitaries in attendance included Dr. Mrs. Onyinye Onwuka, Head of Department for Early Warning and Early Response at the ECOWAS Commission, whose keynote address was delivered on her behalf by Ms. Onwuka. Also present were Dr. Sadiq Suleiman Abdullahi, CEO of the BILAD Group, and Ambassador Jamil Yusuf, National President of the International Visitors Leadership Program – US-Nigeria Education and Cultural Leadership Program Alumni Association (IVLP-ECULPAA) and many others.

One of the evening’s most reflective moments came during a fireside chat with founding interim leader Mrs. Chidinma Afocha, moderated by Programs Officer Ms. Damilola Mercy Oluwasola. Afocha recounted the early days of the network — the uncertainty, the energy, and the sheer commitment that held the founding team together. “Commitment and dedication to social change were the driving forces,” she told the audience, urging current executives and members to carry those same values forward with love, tolerance, and unity.

There was also the panel session, centered on the theme “Sustaining the legacy; honouring the past, inspiring the future.” The panelists included past executives, like Dr. Obinna Ebirim, the Senior Technical Assistant Federal Ministry of Youth Development who was the first Content Developer. Also on the panel were Mr. Ovo Otarigho, Civic Leader and Youth Development Expert (former Coordinator) Engr. A. S. Yunusa, Managing Director MacDream Concept, (former Deputy Coordinator 2024), Uzochukwudinma Awele Otakpo, Social Adovacte, Auditor and Development Professional, (former Programs Officer) Amb. Gloria Tor, Public Health Strategic Communication (Former Communications Officer). The panel was moderated by Ms. Patience Ukange, (Team Lead, The Confident Woman 360). The conversation was candid and generational — a dialogue between those who built the foundation and those now responsible for the next chapter.

The event’s most anticipated moment was the official launch of the YALI 10 for 10 Legacy Mentorship and Internship Programme, flagged off by current Coordinator Mr. Utibe-Abasi Udotong. The programme will pair network members with ten seasoned mentors spanning five key sectors: Civic Engagement, Entrepreneurship, Public Management, Media, and Agriculture. Members will also have access to paid internship placements at partner companies and organisations — translating network membership into tangible career opportunity.

Beyond the celebration, the anniversary served several meaningful purposes for the network’s growth and continuity. It offered a structured opportunity to measure a decade of progress, reinforce organisational identity, and renew collective commitment to YALI’s vision. Equally important, it bridged generations — reconnecting founding members with current ones and creating the kind of institutional memory that keeps movements alive long after any single leader’s tenure ends.

As the cake was cut and glasses raised in a toast to greater years ahead, the mood in the room was less nostalgic than forward-looking. Ten years in, YALI Network Abuja appears to be just getting started.

YALI Network Abuja is a hub of the Young African Leaders Initiative Network, a platform established under the U.S. government’s effort to invest in the next generation of African leaders.

Heavy Rainstorm Damages Newly Built Kugbo Bus Terminal in Abuja

Share for social good
        


A heavy rainstorm accompanied by strong winds on Tuesday afternoon has caused significant damage to the recently commissioned Kugbo Bus Terminal, raising fresh concerns about infrastructure quality in Nigeria’s capital.


The transport terminal, located along the busy Nyanya-Keffi corridor in Abuja, had only been operational for about nine months after its inauguration by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as part of efforts to modernise public transportation in the Federal Capital Territory.


Eyewitnesses said the storm tore off sections of the terminal’s roof, while also damaging a nearby pedestrian bridge and other surrounding structures.

Debris from the building spilled onto the Nyanya-Keffi Expressway, causing severe traffic congestion that lasted for hours, particularly around the vehicle inspection centre axis.
Despite the scale of the incident, no casualties were reported.

FIRS


Officials from the office of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, described the incident as “minor storm damage,” assuring the public that immediate steps were being taken to restore normalcy. The minister’s team said security personnel were deployed to manage traffic while repair work would commence without delay.


However, the incident has sparked widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians questioning the structural integrity and cost of the project, reportedly valued at over ₦51 billion.

Critics argue that a newly constructed facility should be able to withstand seasonal weather conditions, especially in a city like Abuja known for heavy rains.


The Kugbo Bus Terminal is one of several transport hubs developed under the current FCT administration to ease urban mobility and decongest major roads.

Tuesday’s damage has now put the spotlight on construction standards and project oversight in public infrastructure delivery.


As cleanup efforts continue, commuters and residents are calling for a thorough assessment of the damage and greater accountability to ensure long-term durability of critical transport facilities.
