The Anambra State Police Command has detained a suspected Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps officer and two accomplices over an alleged armed robbery in Ogidi, Idemili North LGA. The arrest followed credible intelligence received on March 21, when officers from the Rapid Response Squad raided a suspected hideout.

The suspects—Francis Anene (46), Emmanuel Obi (29) and Okoye Chinonso (35)—were found with two locally made Beretta pistols, four live 9mm rounds and a fake security agency ID card. Preliminary investigations link them to a criminal syndicate accused of robbery, kidnapping and cult activities in Ogidi and its environs.

In a separate operation on March 17, police in Ozubulu recovered a stolen white petrol tanker abandoned on the Onitsha/Owerri Expressway. The vehicle had no registration plates or key in the ignition. Investigations are ongoing to trace the owner and determine the circumstances behind its abandonment.

Rapid Response Squad officers rescued the girl unharmed in Malaysia Forest, Awkuzu. They arrested two suspects, identified as Chinedu Nwobi and Okwudili Nweke, both 25. The victim admitted moving between locations for two months to maintain the hoax. Her boyfriend, known as “Stainless,” fled and remains at large.

The African Youth Development Alliance (AYDA) has challenged a recent report accusing the Nigeria Police Force’s Special Investigation Unit (SIU) of extorting N5 million from an Abuja businessman. In a statement, spokesperson Busola Tejumola described the publication as misleading and unsupported by credible evidence.

AYDA’s independent inquiry found no record of any demand or receipt by SIU officer Abiodun Adekunle Fasasi. The group also noted that the alleged receipts do not bear Fasasi’s name or link to any intermediaries, a gap that undermines the report’s credibility.

The Alliance dismissed claims that Fasasi threatened detainees with charges like cybercrime, drug offences, tax evasion, and money laundering. It said these allegations contradict standard police procedures and appear fabricated to discredit an ongoing investigation.

AYDA urged the accused businessman to provide verifiable proof of any bail negotiation. It also called on media organisations to verify facts before publishing and to avoid sensational reports that could erode public trust.

The Federal High Court in Lagos has handed serial trafficker Adegbite Solomon a 15-year jail term without an option of fine. He pleaded guilty to a 15-count charge brought by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for smuggling 1.30 kg of Tramadol 225 mg.

NDLEA counsel Juliana Imaobong Iroabuchi presented evidence, including exhibits from operative Okay Emmanuel, linking Solomon to the offence. This marked his third arrest for drug-related crimes.

Solomon was intercepted at Murtala Mohammed International Airport while attempting to board a flight to Italy. He had concealed the narcotic in a winter jacket to evade detection. Defence counsel Augustine Nwagu pleaded for leniency, citing his client’s dependents and remorse.

Justice Musa Kakaki rejected the request for a fine and imposed varying terms across the counts, the longest being 15 years on multiple charges. The court also ordered the forfeiture of Solomon’s Italian resident permit, pharmacy bank accounts, mobile phone and Nigerian passport to the Federal Government.

Gunmen abducted the Secretary of Kibiya Local Government Area in Kano State after raiding his home in Dinya town. The Speaker of the council, Hon. Sabo Yusuf Usman, told the BBC the attack occurred around 1:00 a.m. on Friday.

Kibiya LGA is normally peaceful. Neighbouring areas like Tsanyawa and Shanono, which border Katsina State, have faced repeated bandit attacks.

I woke up today to a violent attack from my 22-year-old brother after he used crystal methamphetamine, also known as ice. He has been living with us for over a year and his behaviour keeps getting worse.

He insults everyone, steals money, eats food that isn’t his, and refuses to help with chores. Yesterday he even threatened our mother. I tried to stop him, but she asked me not to fight him.

This morning my elder sister warned me he was rifling through my bag. When I grabbed it back, he punched me hard in the face. We exchanged blows before he ran off. He’s still missing and warned we should “be ready.”

I’m worried for our safety and for his life. I need advice on how to protect everyone at home and help him get the treatment he needs.

Lagos State Commissioner of Police Moshood Jimoh says traffic robberies in the state have dropped to zero thanks to unmarked patrol vehicles. He explained in a recent interview that blending into regular traffic allows officers to approach crime scenes without alerting suspects.

Jimoh contrasted these with traditional marked patrol cars, which criminals spot and evade. Unmarked units give operatives the element of surprise and help them secure evidence more discreetly, making investigations smoother and more effective.

The commissioner also urged residents to note vehicle identification details when reporting police misconduct. He believes this transparency will strengthen accountability and public trust in the force.

Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu has ordered the immediate dissolution of every tactical squad across all commands nationwide. An internal wireless message obtained by a news outlet confirms that units such as the Rapid Response Squad, SWAT, Anti-Kidnapping and Scorpion teams must cease operations at once.

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency thwarted multiple attempts to smuggle illicit drugs through Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, and a courier firm in Lagos.

On 20 March, officers arrested 37-year-old Friday Ehianuka as he tried to board an international flight with 2,698 tramadol 225mg pills hidden inside skin-lightening cream containers. He later admitted he stood to earn euros for delivering the consignment to Italy.

On Saturday evening in the Sabon Gida area of Sokoto State, a vessel carrying a large group of suspected bandits capsized while crossing a local waterway. Local sources told a reporter that the boat overturned suddenly, sending everyone on board into the water.
