Nigeria's Data Protection Commission has launched a forensic investigation into the University of Lagos, Lotus Bank and Hackerbella Limited over alleged data breaches, reminding institutions of their duty to handle personal data lawfully and securely.

Separately, Osun police invited Senator Francis Fadahunsi over a viral video in which he appeared to tell supporters to kill rival party members found in Ilesa before Saturday's election. Katsina United also clarified that a player, Chinedu Ozor, confirmed dead by medics did not regain consciousness at the mortuary as some reports claimed.

Elsewhere, Islamic cleric Sheikh Muhammad Jingir defended his call for a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket ahead of 2027, and Lagos State University's convocation graduated more than 20,000 students across two sessions, including 494 first-class honors recipients.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
A regulator investigating a university for the crime of losing people's data is the most normal thing in this bundle, which also features a senator explaining away a 'kill' comment and a football club clarifying that a dead man is, in fact, dead. Nigerian institutions seem to spend as much energy on clarification as on the original incident. Read carefully; the correction is sometimes stranger than the news.
