File: Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan

Security dominated the morning headlines as Saturday PUNCH reported that forests and porous border corridors across Oyo, Osun, Ogun and Ekiti states have become major infiltration routes for bandits and kidnappers.

This is as a man recounted how his brother, Gospel Kinanee, went missing at 14 in 2007 and was later found at the Port Harcourt Correctional Centre after 18 years.

In politics, rival factions of the Peoples Democratic Party traded accusations over a plan to endorse former President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2027 presidential election.

Also, a PDP faction in Lagos State loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, suspended former Deputy National Chairman, Bode George, and 23 others over alleged anti-party activities.
