The reaction of the federal government to the decision of Canadian authorities to deny Nigerian military chiefs visas and the death of Ayo Adebanjo, factional leader of Afenifere, dominate the frontpages of Nigerian newspapers.

The Punch reports that the federal government is considering an appropriate diplomatic response to the decision of Canada to deny some senior military officials visas. The newspaper says Mudashiru Obasa has approached the court to challenge his removal as the speaker of the Lagos state house of assembly.
The Nation reports that the management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (NAU) has expelled Goddy-Mbakwe Chimamaka Precious, a third-year student in the department of history and international studies, for assaulting a lecturer. The newspaper says Gboyega Oyetola, minister of marine and blue economy, said the All Progressives Congress (APC) will not participate in the “illegal” Osun LGA elections.
Daily Trust reports that Tigran Gambaryan, an executive of Binance Holdings Limited, has accused three members of the house of representatives of allegedly demanding a $150 million bribe from the cryptocurrency firm. The newspaper says at least 23 people were confirmed dead in a road accident that occurred at the Muhammadu Buhari flyover, Hotoro area of Kano, on Friday.
THISDAY reports that the claim made by Scott Perry, a US congressman, that United States Agency for International Development (USAID) allegedly funded terrorist organisations, including Boko Haram, has elicited concerns from security experts and diplomats. The newspaper says the federal government has dismissed bribery allegations made by Gambaryan as false and unsubstantiated.
