Six Marketers Abducted In Ogun State During Land Inspection, Police Promise Rescue

Wale busari02 mins

The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, has confirmed the kidnapping of six marketers from a Lagos-based real estate firm in Oyebola village, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area. Ogunlowo told reporters that the marketers were abducted while visiting the company’s land for an inspection. “They brought some marketers from Lagos to view the land so they could gather the necessary information to market it to interested members of the public. During this visit, six people were abducted. It happened on Friday, and the command has been on it since. We will ensure these individuals regain their freedom,” the CP said. A resident from a neighbouring community, speaking on condition of anonymity, had earlier reported the attack. This incident adds to a growing wave of kidnappings across Nigeria, including the abduction of 38 worshippers in Kwara State and 24 students in Kebbi State, all of whom have since been released. Many others remain in captivity, including over 250 people kidnapped from St. Mary’s Secondary and Primary School in Papiri, Agwara Local Government Area, Niger State. During that attack, gunmen reportedly killed a security guard and abducted around 300 pupils, students, and staff, while 50 students managed to escape.

Hon. Idris Wase Urges Tinubu to Reconsider Withdrawal of Police Protection for VIPs

Wale busari02 mins

Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Idris Wase, has urged President Bola Tinubu to review the decision to withdraw police officers from Very Important Persons (VIPs). Naija News reports that Tinubu issued the directive on Sunday during a security meeting in Abuja attended by Service Chiefs and the Director-General of the Department of State Services. The order instructed police authorities to redeploy officers to focus on their core duties, prompting the Special Protection Unit of the Nigeria Police Force to recall all personnel attached to VIPs nationwide. Wase raised the issue on Wednesday during the resumption of debates on national security in the House of Representatives, warning that lawmakers could become targets for abduction by bandits. He called on the President to clarify how VIPs are categorized, noting that there had been past instances where Boko Haram terrorists were listed among recruits in the Army and Police Force. The new directive requires VIPs seeking protection to request armed personnel from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) instead of relying on police officers. The Presidency said the policy is intended to increase police presence in communities, especially in remote areas where stations are often understaffed and citizens remain exposed to attacks.

Breaking: Tinubu Orders Withdrawal of Police Officers from VVIPs

Wale busari02 mins

President Bola Tinubu has directed that police officers be withdrawn from VIP protection duties to strengthen security across communities. The instruction was issued during a security meeting with top service chiefs, including Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, and Director-General of the Department of State Services Tosin Adeola Ajayi. The move comes amid rising abductions and security threats nationwide. Going forward, VIPs seeking protection will be required to request well-armed personnel from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, allowing the police to focus on their primary duties. Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, noted that many areas, especially remote communities, have limited police presence, making it difficult to ensure public safety. “In view of the current security challenges facing the country, President Tinubu is keen on boosting police presence in all communities. He has approved the recruitment of 30,000 additional police officers and is working with states to upgrade police training facilities nationwide,” the statement added.

Kebbi Police Warn Against Protests Over Abducted Schoolgirls

Wale busari03 mins

The Kebbi State Police Command has cautioned groups and civil society organisations against staging any protest over the recent abduction of students from Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, warning that the current security climate is too unstable for public demonstrations. In a statement issued on Friday, the Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Nafiu Kotarkoshi, said intelligence reports showed that some groups and NGOs were already mobilising to begin protests “any moment from today.” He noted that while the command fully understands the distress felt by families and the wider public, holding protests at this time could heighten tension and disrupt the ongoing rescue mission. “The current situation is dicey for any protest or rally to hold, as it has the potential of instigating violence in the state. While we remain deeply concerned about the regrettable incident, it is misguided and counterproductive for any protest to hold, as it will undermine the unwavering commitment of the combined security team working tirelessly to rescue the kidnapped schoolgirls unhurt,” the statement read. The police command reaffirmed its commitment to protecting lives and property, assuring residents that security agencies are intensifying efforts to safely recover the abducted students. Kotarkoshi urged members of the public to stay calm, support security operations, and report any suspicious individuals or movements to the nearest police station. The students were abducted earlier in the week when armed men stormed the school in the Danko-Wasagu area, sparking nationwide concern and fresh calls for improved security in schools across the North-West.

Nasarawa Police Deny Reports Of St. Peter’s School Student Abduction

Wale busari02 mins

The Nasarawa State Police Command has dismissed claims that students of St. Peter’s Foundation Secondary School in Rukubi, Doma Local Government Area, were abducted on Friday. Police Public Relations Officer Ramhan Nansel said the reports circulating on social media and some news outlets are “false” and do not reflect the actual events. The confusion started when students heading to the school field for Physical and Health Education classes spotted armed hunters in the area. Fearing they were kidnappers, the students ran but were later safely escorted back to the school by teachers. Nansel stated that Commissioner of Police Shetima Jauro Mohammed promptly deployed a joint team of police and military personnel to the area after the initial report. “Upon arrival, it was confirmed that the pupils had mistaken hunters carrying Dane guns for kidnappers. The area was thoroughly searched, and normalcy was restored immediately,” the statement said. The school proprietor also confirmed that no abduction occurred, calling the reports false. Security operatives remain on alert to prevent any potential threats. The police urged the public to disregard the circulating rumors and advised journalists and media outlets to verify facts before reporting to avoid unnecessary panic. “The report is mere rumor and should not be treated as factual news,” the statement added.

Wale busari02 mins

Social media personalities Verydarkman (Martins Otse) and comedian Mr. Jollof (Freedom Atsepoyi) have been handed over to airport authorities following a physical confrontation during boarding at Asaba International Airport. The incident happened on United Nigeria Airlines Flight UN0523, which was scheduled to fly from Asaba to Lagos. The two have a long-standing feud on social media, which escalated after VDM accused Mr Jollof’s wife of inappropriate relations with “Yahoo boys.” Video footage circulating online showed the duo exchanging punches as other passengers looked on. VDM later confirmed the altercation on his social media, claiming he had “handled” the situation. Chibuike Uloka, UNA’s Public Relations Officer, stated that the airline crew acted quickly and professionally to calm the situation. Both men were deboarded prior to departure, and authorities were called in to manage the matter. Uloka emphasized that passenger safety is the airline’s top priority and that UNA maintains a zero-tolerance stance on behavior that threatens the well-being of travelers or staff.
