De Norsemen Kclub International (DNKI), under the leadership of its International President, Chief Oliver Patrick, has issued a strong warning to the general public, security agencies, and key stakeholders over the increasing wave of fraudulent social media activities falsely linked to the organization.

“Pattern of Criminal MisinformationAccording to DNKI, findings from internal investigations point to a deliberate and organized campaign aimed at damaging its reputation through several unlawful actions, including: Identity Theft and Brand Manipulation: Unauthorized use and distortion of DNKI’s registered name, logo, and insignia to falsely associate the organization with cultism and other criminal activities, while ignoring its longstanding humanitarian contributions.
“Deception and Youth Manipulation: Efforts to mislead young people into believing that criminal or cult-related activities are part of humanitarian service—an assertion DNKI firmly rejects.
“False Security Narratives: Circulation of fabricated crime reports intended to create fear, misinform the public, and weaken confidence in Nigeria’s security institutions.Incitement and Digital Provocation: Promotion of online tensions through inflammatory content, false claims, and staged narratives designed to trigger real-world unrest and violence.

The DNKI therfore reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to humanitarian service, justice, and societal development, stating that no amount of misinformation or malicious propaganda will deter it from its mission to build a safer and more equitable society.

Nigeria at 66: ‘We Must Not Lose Faith in Nigeria’ — FCC Boss Omidiran
Joel Ajayi
The Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Honorable Hulayat Motunrayo Omidiran, has called on Nigerians to use the occasion of the nation’s 66th Independence Anniversary to renew their faith in Nigeria, strengthen national unity and recommit themselves to building a more inclusive and prosperous country.
In her 66th Independence Day message, Hon. Omidiran described October 1 as more than a celebration of freedom, saying the anniversary provides an opportunity for Nigerians to reflect on the country’s journey, acknowledge its progress and challenges, and renew the collective determination to build a nation where every citizen has a sense of belonging.
According to the FCC Executive Chairman, the Federal Character Principle remains particularly important to the quest for national cohesion because equitable representation promotes a sense of ownership and confidence in the Nigerian project.
“Nigeria is a nation of great diversity and
enormous potential. Our responsibility is to ensure that this diversity becomes a bridge that connects us rather than a barrier that separates us. Every Nigerian deserves to feel that he or she belongs to this country and has a role to play in its development,” Omidiran said.
The FCC boss called on government institutions at all levels to remain committed to fairness, equity, accountability and inclusive governance, while urging citizens to support efforts aimed at strengthening national institutions and promoting peaceful coexistence.
“We must not lose faith in Nigeria. The challenges before us are real, but so are the opportunities and the enormous human and natural resources available to us. Every citizen has a responsibility to contribute his or her own quota to building the Nigeria we desire,” she stated.
The FCC Executive Chairman also urged young Nigerians to remain committed to acquiring knowledge and skills, entrepreneurship, innovation, sports and other productive ventures, describing the youth as critical stakeholders in the country’s future.
“As we celebrate 66 years of independence, let us remember that the Nigeria we want cannot be built by government alone. It requires the commitment of all of us – leaders and citizens, young and old, from every part of the federation. Together, we can build a Nigeria where justice, fairness, opportunity and peace are available to all,” she said.
Omidiran reaffirmed the FCC’s commitment to the effective discharge of its constitutional mandate and to supporting efforts that promote equitable representation and inclusive national development across the federation.
The former lawmaker wished Nigerians at home and abroad a peaceful and memorable 66th Independence Anniversary, praying for continued peace, stability, prosperity and progress for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Our differences should never be greater than our common identity as Nigerians. Let us continue to choose unity over division, service over self-interest and hope over despair. The Nigeria of our dreams is possible if we all play our part,” Omidiran said.
“On behalf of the Federal Character Commission, I congratulate all Nigerians on this 66th Independence Anniversary. May this occasion renew our patriotism, strengthen our unity and inspire us to work together for a stronger, more equitable and prosperous Nigeria. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” she added.
