Nigerian Aspiring Fashion Designer Shot Dead in Brooklyn Nightclub After Dispute

Brooklyn, New York — A tragic incident unfolded in a Brooklyn nightclub where a Nigerian aspiring fashion designer, Sheriff Shittu, lost his life after a violent altercation with a gunman. 

According to his brother, the 28-year-old Shittu had been involved in a heated dispute with an intoxicated patron who allegedly groped Shittu's girlfriend.

The confrontation, which took place in the early hours of the morning, escalated quickly, culminating in the gunman opening fire. Sheriff Shittu was struck by a fatal shot before the assailant fled the scene.

Shittu, originally from Nigeria, had moved to the United States to pursue his dreams in fashion design. His family, devastated by the senseless violence, expressed deep sorrow at the loss of a young man with so much potential.

"We are heartbroken. He was a kind soul who was always focused on his future," his brother said. "He came to the US to build a better life, and now, tragically, that has been taken from him."

Authorities are currently investigating the incident, with the suspect still on the run. Police are appealing to the public for any information that could help identify the shooter.

Friends and loved ones have since taken to social media to mourn Shittu’s death, remembering him as a talented and driven individual with a promising future ahead. His tragic passing has once again brought attention to the issue of violence in nightlife venues, leaving many questioning the safety of such establishments.

As of now, the family is awaiting further details from law enforcement, and tributes continue to pour in for the young Nigerian man whose life was cut short far too soon.

BREAKING: FG Approves 40% Pay Rise —Non-Academic Staff Left Out

Image
Nigeria’s university system has been thrown into fresh debate following confirmation that the Federal Government’s newly approved 40% salary increase applies strictly to lecturers, leaving non-academic university workers completely excluded from the landmark deal. The historic agreement, signed between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), ends a 16-year renegotiation stalemate and delivers a major financial boost to academic staff alone — professors, readers, senior lecturers, and other teaching personnel in federal universities. ZANCEN YAU 247 has gathered that , according  to official details of the agreement, the 40% increment is tied to the Consolidated University Academic Staff Salary Structure (CONUASS) and enhanced academic-specific allowances, particularly the Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance (CATA) meant for research, publications, conferences, and teaching support.     ZANCEN YAU 247    has l...

Nigeria’s Ivory Towers in Ruins: An Investigative Look at the Dilapidated State of Nigerian Universities

Across the country, Nigeria’s public universities — once proud centres of academic excellence — now tell a story of chronic neglect, crumbling infrastructure, and systemic failure.  Despite repeated government promises, reforms, and intervention funds, the reality on the ground remains stark: lecture halls are dilapidated, hostels overcrowded or unsafe, laboratories obsolete, and academic activity repeatedly disrupted by strikes and funding shortfalls. A Legacy Fading: What We Saw in the Country’s Premier Institutions At the University of Ibadan (UI), Nigeria’s oldest university and once a symbol of academic strength, the decay is unmistakable. Cracked walls, leaking roofs, and peeling paint scar once-majestic buildings, even iconic landmarks such as Trenchard Hall. Frequent power outages force reliance on noisy, polluting generators. Road networks within the campus are potholed, and water scarcity undermines hygiene.  “We are trying to provide a world-class educat...

BREAKING: US Finally Withdraws from WHO

Image
The United States has formally withdrawn from the World Health Organization (WHO), a move that strips the UN health agency of one of its largest financial contributors and marks a major shift in global health diplomacy. The withdrawal follows an executive order signed a year ago by US President Donald Trump, who repeatedly accused the WHO of being overly “China-centric” in its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. The decision  ZANCEN YAU24  understood has now taken full effect, confirming the US exit from the global health body. In a statement, the US Department of Health and Human Services said the withdrawal was based on what it described as the WHO’s “mishandling” of the Covid-19 crisis, its failure to implement meaningful reforms, and what it called undue political influence from member states. ZANCEN YAU24 learned that the the World Health Organization has strongly rejected the allegations. WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus described the US dec...
