Nasarawa Police Command Announces Major Breakthroughs in Organ Harvesting, Armed Robbery Cases

The Nasarawa State Police Command has announced significant achievements in its ongoing efforts to combat crime across the state, including the arrest of a suspected organ harvester and the rescue of multiple victims, as well as the apprehension of a notorious armed robbery gang.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Shetima Jauro Mohammed, disclosed these developments during a press briefing held on Tuesday at the Command Headquarters along Shendam Road, Lafia.

Suspect Arrested for Organ Harvesting; Four Victims Rescued

According to the CP, on November 17, 2025, police received a distress call from motor park officials at Alhaji Yahaya Sabo Motor Park in Lafia after they apprehended a man suspected of engaging in organ harvesting.

Officers from ‘B’ Division promptly responded and took custody of the suspect, identified as Maro Ebojoh, 40, of Ogbara Inland Area in Etiope East LGA of Delta State. Four victims were rescued from the scene.

Investigations revealed that the suspect had arrived in Lafia on November 14, 2025, with the intention of recruiting individuals for an alleged kidney transplant. He reportedly lured the victims with promises of ₦2 million each. Those lured include:

Umar Ahmadu Barau, 25
Suleiman Alhaji-Garba, 20
Williams Dadung, 32
Stanley Ezekiel, 27

One of the victims, who passed an initial medical screening, was taken to Abuja for a scheduled transplant that was later aborted due to high blood pressure. Police operatives tracked the victim to a hotel in Abuja and rescued him unharmed.

The suspect confessed to the crime, stating he had agreed to receive ₦6.5 million from his client for the procedure and had already collected ₦500,000 as an advance. He also admitted to previously arranging another donor two months earlier, for which he was paid ₦1 million, while the donor received ₦2.5 million.

Armed Robbery, Homicide Suspects Arrested in Mararaba

In a separate operation, police operatives from Mararaba ‘A’ Division arrested nine suspects on November 4, 2025, during a raid on a criminal hideout along Musbawu Street, Mararaba, in Karu LGA. The suspects are:

Ahmed Ibrahim, 27
Yusuf Abdulazeez, 23
Ismaila Abubakar, 18
Abdulrahman Mujahid, 20
Abdullahi Abdulazeez, 29
Muntaka Garba, 21
Hashiru Adamu, 21
Abdulrahman Jamilu, 22
Auwalu Bashiru Attah, 20

Preliminary investigations showed that the group had been responsible for several nighttime robberies in Mararaba and surrounding areas. Their operation typically involved attacking residents, stealing mobile devices, transferring money from victims’ bank accounts, and selling the stolen phones.

They also confessed to a violent robbery carried out on May 20, 2025, in Uke, Karu LGA, during which they killed the son of a serving police officer.

The case is currently being handled by the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Lafia. The suspects will be charged to court upon completion of investigations.

CP Urges Public Vigilance

The Commissioner urged residents to remain vigilant and wary of individuals posing as legitimate organ donor recruiters. He emphasized the importance of community cooperation in ensuring security.

“Let us remain committed partners in security by saying something whenever we see something suspicious,” CP Mohammed said.

He thanked members of the press and the public for their continued support.

Rescuing Nigeria 2027: ADC Sets To Put An End To Hunger, Insecurity, Bad Government, National Embarrassment – Eze

…..As Amaechi Joins Senator David Mark and Others to Unveil ADC’s New Headquarters in Abuja

“…17th November, 2025 will remain strategic to Nigeria and her citizens, as ADC has taken the bold step of removing Tinubu and his misguided version of undemocratic force currently ravaging this country with the formal commissioning of her national headquarters at Abuja, the National Capital of Nigeria….”

Erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP) and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress APC, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze says the significance of November 17, 2025, in the annals of Nigeria’s political journey is strategic, as it marks a major milestone in the country’s desperate search for a redirection and national rebirth.

In a statement made available to the media, the APC Chief who not minding his membership of the drowning APC battered by Tinubu and his stooges said that the formal inauguration of the ADC national Secretariat in Abuja is a significant step in the wider national project to unseat the clueless administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose docile posture towards the floodgate of issues of national concerns that have crippled every aspect of individual and collective life in the country, sends to the global community, a dangerous signal of a failed state.

Eze lamented that Tinubu have destroyed all the principles, vision and drive that caused some of them in the formation of APC, and sadly, today, Tinubu have succeeded in making the party not only a national disaster but a worldwide embarrassment

“17th November, 2025 will remain strategic to Nigeria and her citizens, as ADC has taken the bold step of removing Tinubu and his misguided version of undemocratic force currently ravaging this country with the formal commissioning of her national headquarters at Abuja, the National Capital of Nigeria.”

Eze maintained that the 4-level complex will serve as the party’s operational nerve centre where strategies will be crafted, ideas refined, and future leaders groomed. It is a launchpad for a disciplined, visionary and people-driven movement.

With this bold step in the party’s commitment to service and nation-building, Eze said the concern of a befitting national office for the new party adopted by the opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections has been laid to rest. The new national headquarters is situated at Wuse 2 in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

The new party, recall, appointed former Senate President David Mark as national chairman, while the immediate past Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, was appointed National Scribe.

The event, held in the heart of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), drew powerful coalition of opposition heavyweights including former Transportation Minister, Rt. Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, former governors Nasir El-Rufai, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor and Rauf Aregbesola, who is the party’s national secretary, as well as former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal, Hajiya Nàja’atu Mohammed, Senator Dino Melaye,, Emeka Ihedioha, Solomon Dalung, Dele Momodu, Gabriel Suswam, Ireti Kingibe, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar (rtd), members of the National Executive Committee and former party national chairman Ralph Nwosu to formally unveil the party’s national secretariat signalling full battle mode for the 2027 general elections.

For achieving this great milestone, Eze congratulated Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, the 2023 presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar (PDP), Peter Obi (LP), Senator David Mark, Nasir El-Rufai, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor, Rauf Aregbesola and many others for midwifing such a great political movement to rescue Nigeria from the hands of some undemocratic forces ravaging and ruining our dear nation

Eze highlighted that Senator Mark declared that the opposition coalition, which officially adopted ADC as its platform on July 2, 2025, is determined to “Rescue Nigeria, Rebuild Nigeria, and Return power to the people.”

Sen. Mark accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of hijacking democratic institutions and pushing Nigeria towards “total civilian dictatorship” and a one-party state ahead of 2027.“

“The blatant destabilisation and infiltration of all major opposition parties is aimed at achieving only one objective: total state capture and leaving Nigerians with no alternative in 2027. This coalition is here to stop that,” Mark warned.

The former Senate President urged ADC members to remain focused and united and intensify preparations to dislodge the APC in 2027.

With the unveiling of the ultramodern secretariat, Eze said the ADC coalition, now boasting of some of Nigeria’s most influential opposition figures, has sent a clear message: a formidable third force is rising for the 2027 presidential election.

Setting The Records Straight On The So-Called “Assassination Attempt” On Lt. Yerima

By Kelvin Adegbenga

In the past few days, public discourse, especially on social media, has been dominated by sensational claims of an alleged “assassination attempt” on Lt. Yerima. But as more facts emerge, it has become increasingly clear that the narrative is not only exaggerated but also fundamentally misleading. It is therefore important to lay out the facts and clear the fog of misinformation.

The first narration to greet the public space, as reported by Vanguard Newspaper, cited a military source who claimed that Yerima was trailed by unidentified men dressed in black, riding in two unmarked Hilux vans with no number plates.

According to the report, the vehicles allegedly followed him from the NIPCO Filling Station off the Kubwa Expressway all the way to Gado Nasco Way. This version of events created understandable tension and drew widespread concern until the police provided verifiable details.

Shortly after, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command issued a press release signed by its PRO, SP Josephine Adeh, categorically debunking the so-called “assassination attempt”. Rather than supporting the dramatic Hilux-van-in-pursuit narrative, the police statement presented a completely different and much more credible account. 

According to the police, on 16th November 2025 at about 6:15 p.m., a routine stop-and-search operation was being conducted at NNPC Junction along the Kubwa Expressway. During this operation, officers intercepted an ash-coloured Toyota Camry being driven with its number plate concealed and its windows deeply tinted. Both conditions violate road safety and security protocols.

In line with standard operating procedure, the patrol team approached the vehicle and politely requested the driver’s identity as well as an explanation for the concealments. Shockingly, the occupant, who later turned out to be Lt Yerima, refused to identify himself. Instead, he made several phone calls and wound up his tinted windows, refusing to cooperate or even engage with the officers.

A few minutes later, three naval personnel arrived at the scene. They cordially identified the occupant as their colleague while also taking videos and photos of the encounter. Once the officers confirmed his identity, the police allowed the vehicle to proceed, and the patrol team continued its operations peacefully, without any further incident.

Interestingly, the second version of events circulating online, through a video shared by Yerima’s colleagues, completely contradicts the original Hilux-van narrative that was initially pushed into the media.

In the video, the only vehicle present was the ash-coloured Camry with a covered plate number and deeply tinted windows, exactly as described by the police. No men dressed in black. No unmarked Hilux vans. No chase. No threat. No “assassination”.

From the combined accounts of the police and the video evidence, it is crystal clear that the entire story of an “assassination attempt” was nothing more than a false alarm, one that should never have been sensationalised in the first place.

Frankly, I believe the military hierarchy should caution Lt Yerima for this unnecessary escalation. When uniformed personnel raise false alarms, especially ones capable of causing public panic or tarnishing the image of another security agency, it sets a dangerous precedent. It encourages others to manufacture threats or interpret lawful police procedures as personal attacks.

Security agencies must work together, not against one another. Cooperation, professionalism, and mutual respect are essential for national security. Sensational false alarms only create friction where none is needed.

If anything, this incident has reaffirmed the professionalism of the FCT Police Command in handling a situation that could easily have been escalated by unnecessary drama. The facts speak for themselves: there was never an assassination attempt on Lt Yerima, only a lawful stop-and-search exercise that he decided to misinterpret.

It’s time we stop glorifying misinformation and start holding individuals accountable for narratives that endanger the public peace and undermine inter-agency trust.

Kebbi Abduction: A Time For Unity, Not Reckless Politics

By Adewole Kehinde

The abduction of twenty-five innocent schoolgirls from Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, in Danko/Wasagu LGA of Kebbi State is yet another heartbreaking reminder of the cruelty of terrorists who prey on the most vulnerable among us.

This barbaric act deserves the strongest possible condemnation from all well-meaning Nigerians. No parent should ever endure the nightmare of sending a child to school only to be met with terror and despair.

But while the nation mourns and security agencies swing into action, it is deeply disappointing, though not surprising, that Mr Omoyele Sowore, the serial failed presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), chose this tragic moment to peddle political falsehoods and target the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force.

Sowore alleged that the Inspector General of Police had “not uttered a word” about the Kebbi abduction. This claim is not only baseless but also malicious, clearly designed to score cheap political points rather than contribute meaningfully to national security discourse.

The facts speak differently.

Upon receiving the distressing report that heavily armed bandits stormed the school and abducted the students, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, immediately directed the Commissioner of Police in Kebbi State to deploy a combined team of police tactical units, military personnel, and vigilantes to the area.

These teams are currently combing suspected bandits’ routes and surrounding forests, working tirelessly to rescue the abducted girls and apprehend the perpetrators of this dastardly act.

This is not the first time IGP Egbetokun has acted swiftly and decisively. Sowore, who thrives on sensationalism rather than verified facts, should be reminded of the IGP’s pivotal role in ensuring the arrest and prosecution of those involved in the Yelwata massacre in Benue State, contrary to the false narrative Sowore desperately tried to sell to the public.

It must also be emphasised that the IGP remains a competent officer, duly and legally appointed by the President in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

His record reflects professionalism, collaboration, and a firm commitment to national security.

At a time when the nation needs unity, focus, and collective resolve, what Nigeria does not need is reckless commentary from individuals seeking political relevance through tragedy.

A serious presidential hopeful should not latch onto the suffering of abducted children in an attempt to revive a dwindling political career. Instead, he should join hands with government institutions to confront and defeat the monstrous threat of terrorism. Security, after all, is everyone’s business.

The IGP has reiterated the unwavering determination of the Nigeria Police Force to safeguard lives and property across the country.

What the nation needs now is for members of the public to remain calm, vigilant, and supportive of ongoing security operations. Cheap political publicity helps no one, least of all the abducted schoolgirls whose safe return should be the priority of every patriotic Nigerian.

This is a time for solidarity, not sensationalism. A time for responsibility, not recklessness. And a time to support the men and women risking their lives daily to protect ours.

May the abducted students be rescued safely and reunited with their families, and may Nigeria overcome those who seek to destabilise her peace.

Nigerian Journalism At The Crossroads: The Drift To American English And The Shadow Of Digital Imperialism

0

By Olasunkanmi Arowolo

Language is never neutral. In Nigeria, it has always been political, cultural and symbolic. Our journalists are not only recorders of events but also guardians of language and national identity. Through them, British English was stabilised as the country’s official standard while Nigerian English developed its own rhythm and expression.

That delicate balance is now under threat. Artificial Intelligence is quietly tilting Nigerian journalism towards American English. Reporters, often without realising it, are adopting American spelling, punctuation and style because the tools they rely on were built in a different cultural context.

At first glance, this may look harmless. But what is at stake is much deeper: the erosion of linguistic sovereignty and the risk of becoming conduits of digital imperialism.

The Invisible Drift

AI writing assistants are not neutral. They carry the DNA of their training data. Since most are built on American usage, their output reflects American norms. This explains the sudden flood of em dashes in Nigerian reporting, a punctuation choice uncommon here but typical of US writing.

The same can be said of words like ‘program’ instead of ‘programme’, ‘center’ instead of ‘centre’, or ‘color’ where readers expect ‘colour’. These shifts are not conscious editorial decisions. They are signs of a creeping influence.

Over time, readers notice. A Nigerian newspaper story that reads as if it were written for an American audience feels less authentic, less connected. It risks weakening the trust between journalist and reader.

Self-Colonisation by Technology

What makes this even more troubling is the uncritical way technology is often adopted in Africa. Innovation is welcomed as progress, yet the cultural costs are rarely counted.

In journalism, this means allowing AI to dictate language norms, as though American English is the natural future and Nigerian expression an obstacle to efficiency. This attitude reflects a deeper problem: a tendency to undervalue our own linguistic and cultural identity.

This is not about resisting change at all costs. Language evolves. But evolution should be shaped by a people, not outsourced to algorithms with no understanding of context.

Why It Matters

Journalism is more than information. It is also a connection. Readers trust the press not only because of facts but because of familiarity and resonance. If our news begins to sound foreign, it risks alienating the very audience it serves.

Consider how quickly people switch off when a broadcaster’s accent feels artificial. The same logic applies to written journalism. If stories no longer sound Nigerian in tone, rhythm or choice of words, they lose some of their power to persuade and to connect.

Guarding Sovereignty

The question then arises: are we witnessing a subtle form of conquest through language? Not with armies, but with algorithms.

Nigeria’s journalists, who have stood firm against censorship and political manipulation, now face a quieter challenge. They must decide whether to protect their linguistic ground or allow it to be redrawn by invisible hands.

What Can Be Done

First, media organisations should set clear editorial policies. These policies should affirm British English as Nigeria’s official standard, while giving Nigerian English its proper space. Journalists need clear guidance when using AI tools, so that machines serve the profession rather than reshape it.

Second, there should be transparency. If AI tools assist in producing stories, readers deserve to know. A simple disclosure note would protect credibility.

Third, and most important, journalists themselves must become conscious defenders of linguistic identity. Choosing not to normalise American spellings or structures is not stubbornness. It is cultural self-respect.

The Wider Stakes

This issue goes beyond journalism. Once journalists normalise American English through AI, others will follow. Teachers, writers, broadcasters and policymakers often take their cues from the press. If the press yields, so does much of society.

The stakes are therefore national. Language is not a small detail. It is a mirror of sovereignty.

A Call to Reflect

Nigerian journalists must approach AI with a critical eye. Technology can be a tool, but it should not become a master. The responsibility lies with practitioners to ensure that their language, and by extension their identity, is not eroded by convenience.

AI will not disappear. It will become even more embedded in reporting. But how Nigerian journalism engages with it will determine whether the profession strengthens its bond with readers or weakens it.

To defend the language of our journalism is to defend credibility, culture and sovereignty. If we fail to do that, we risk losing far more than spelling. We risk losing our voice.

IGP Egbetokun Has Strengthened Inter-Agency Synergy Like Never Before

By Adewole Kehinde

Since assuming office, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, PhD, NPM, has consistently demonstrated that security leadership in the 21st century must be built on collaboration, coordination, and mutual respect among all security agencies.

Contrary to the false narratives being pushed by mischief-makers and those seeking to incite non-existent inter-agency rivalries, the synergy between the Nigeria Police Force and sister agencies has grown stronger, more strategic, and more result-driven under his watch.

From the Defence Headquarters to the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Air Force, Nigerian Navy, DSS, NSCDC, FRSC, Immigration, Customs, and other critical stakeholders, IGP Egbetokun has entrenched a culture of seamless cooperation, one that prioritises national security over institutional ego.

His leadership style is anchored on inclusiveness and operational harmony, ensuring that every agency sees the other as a partner rather than a competitor.

Those attempting to manufacture inter-agency friction lack both facts and context. The truth remains that joint operations across the country, whether against banditry, terrorism, kidnapping, oil theft, or violent crimes, have recorded greater efficiency precisely because the Nigeria Police Force is working hand-in-hand with the military and other security organs.

This synergy is visible in intelligence sharing, coordinated patrols, rapid response operations, and harmonised security strategies.

Under IGP Egbetokun, the Nigeria Police Force has remained focused, disciplined, and unwavering in its mission to secure Nigeria, both from within and without. The Force continues to affirm its role as the lead internal security agency while fully acknowledging and embracing the indispensable support of the Armed Forces and other partners.

This teamwork has strengthened national security architecture, improved public confidence, and ensured that criminals find no haven.

Inter-agency collaboration is not just a slogan; it is a working reality under IGP Egbetokun. And it is this unity of purpose that continues to frustrate the efforts of those who profit from division, misinformation, and falsehood.

At a time when Nigeria needs solidarity among its security institutions, IGP Egbetokun has shown leadership that binds rather than breaks, inspires rather than divides, and strengthens rather than weakens. The synergy today is stronger than it has ever been, and it is this partnership that will continue to keep Nigeria safe.

FCT Police Debunks Attack Claim, Clarifies Stop-And-Search Encounter At Kubwa Expressway

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has dismissed social media reports alleging an attack on one Lt. Ahmed Yerima during a stop-and-search operation at NNPC Junction along Kubwa Expressway, Abuja.

The Command, in a statement signed by its spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, described the publication by Instagram blogger “Mazitundeednut” as false, misleading, and malicious.

According to the statement, the incident occurred on 16 November 2025 at about 6:15 p.m. when a police patrol team intercepted an ash-coloured Toyota Camry with a concealed number plate and fully tinted windows during a routine stop-and-search operation.

Officers reportedly requested the occupant’s identity and an explanation for the concealments, but the driver refused to identify himself, made several calls, and rolled up his windows.

A short while later, three naval personnel arrived at the scene and identified the occupant as their colleague. After this confirmation, the police team allowed the vehicle to proceed, and the operation continued without incident.

The Command expressed surprise that the encounter was later misrepresented online as an attempted assassination.

FCT Commissioner of Police, CP Miller Dantawaye, urged residents and visitors to cooperate with police officers carrying out lawful duties and refrain from spreading unverified information capable of causing fear and tension in the FCT.

Residents were also reminded to report suspicious activities through the Command’s emergency lines: 08032003913, 08068587311, and the Complaint Response Unit (CRU) line 08107314192.

FCT Police Debunks Social Media Claims Of Attempted Assassination On Lt. Ahmed Yerima

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has dismissed reports circulating on social media alleging an attempted assassination of Lt. Ahmed Yerima, describing the claims as false and unsubstantiated.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, SP Josephine Adeh, said no such incident had been reported or recorded anywhere within the FCT.

She urged members of the public to disregard the rumour and avoid sharing unverified information capable of causing panic among residents.

The Command further called on residents to remain vigilant and promptly report any suspicious activity to the nearest Police Division. For emergencies, the public may contact the Command Headquarters through the following lines: 08032003913 and 08068587311.
