Police College Oji River in Enugu State was founded in 1972 to train constables for the Nigeria Police Force. Today, this key institution lies in ruin, with broken-down buildings, overgrown courts, and dirt roads that resemble village paths.

During a recent passing-out parade for Anambra State recruits, visitors found derelict facilities everywhere—from a weed-choked tennis court to a deroofed squash hall. Trainees drill on uneven fields, and snakes slither through the tall grasses. Even the busy Mammy Market fails to meet basic standards.

Police leaders and South-East governors have been urged to act. President Tinubu has appointed a committee to oversee rehabilitation, but urgent repairs are needed now. Restoring roads, buildings, and training grounds is vital to ensure Nigeria’s police officers receive the professional foundation they deserve.

The EFCC has arraigned Ufoma Joseph Immanuel, CEO of Intermediate Investment Holdings Limited, before the Special Offences Court in Ikeja, Lagos. He faces two counts of obtaining by false pretence and forgery over an alleged $1.5 million investment scam.

According to the charge, Immanuel induced Adebisi Adebutu of R28 Holdings Limited to invest $1.5 million under false pretences tied to petroleum ventures. He is also accused of forging a term sheet purporting signatures to secure the funds.

Immanuel pleaded not guilty. Prosecution counsel requested he remain in INTERPOL custody pending investigation. The defence argued a civil court order barred his arrest. Justice Dada adjourned for ruling on May 7, 2026, and ordered Immanuel remanded until his bail hearing.

Growing violence in South-West Nigeria has shaken Yorubaland’s reputation for peace. Kidnappings, farm attacks and raids on remote villages now threaten lives and livelihoods. Community leaders and Afenifere warn that daily losses of life are eroding residents’ sense of safety.

Governors are urged to act: cut off bandit funding, strengthen intelligence, raid forest hideouts and consider state police reforms. Sunday Igboho says he can mobilise 50,000 men to flush out criminals, while Soludero hunters offer local expertise to secure our forests.

Unless coordinated steps are taken, farms will stay deserted, highways will remain perilous, and homes will cease to be safe havens. The time for decisive action is now.

A Nigerian businessman at the center of one of the largest bank frauds has been jailed after a fake airport project scam was uncovered. Emmanuel Nwude was convicted for defrauding Brazil's Banco Noroeste of $242 million after convincing officials to back a non-existent Abuja airport, according to NDTV.

Investigators say the scheme ran from 1995 to 1998. Nwude allegedly posed as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria to win the trust of foreign investors. He targeted Nelson Sakaguchi, a director at Banco Noroeste, and sold the story of a new international airport in Abuja.

Payments totaling $242 million were approved. About $191 million moved in cash, while the rest built up as interest and fees. The airport did not exist.

The fraud came to light during an audit amid a takeover bid for the Brazilian bank. Unexplained offshore funds triggered a multinational probe. The case is now cited as one of the biggest '419' scams on record.

In Nigeria’s heated debate over policing, Zonal Police Public Relations Officer Nkeiruka Nwode has shared how her inquiry into alleged N100 million withdrawals turned into a blackmail campaign.

She says the probe began in January 2023 after a lawyer reported that two brothers were detained and large sums were being withdrawn from a suspect’s account without authorisation. Nwode escalated the case to senior officers and traced transactions through a NYSC member and a Bureau de Change operator.

Her team followed the money to a DSS personnel and recovered part of the funds. Despite facing sponsored media attacks, she tracked the fleeing corps member to Benin Republic and secured his return.

Nwode argues that officers who pursue justice deserve commendation, not vilification. Her account reignites calls for accountability, transparency and public trust in Nigeria’s police force.

Indian police have arrested two Nigerian nationals, Modebe Joseph (42) and Sunday Okonkwo (35), over an alleged ₦12.2 billion cyber fraud. The pair are accused of hacking cooperative banks under a syndicate known as “Solar Spider.”

A joint operation by the Gautam Buddh Nagar Cyber Crime unit, Knowledge Park Police Station, and Meerut Zone cyber commandos led to the arrests. Officers tracked the suspects after receiving intelligence that the group had targeted banks with weak security systems.

Investigators say the duo used multiple mule accounts to siphon off ₹60–80 crore, then converted the funds into cryptocurrency for overseas transfer. Police also linked them to a March theft of ₹7 crore from a Bhavnagar cooperative bank, executed over a weekend to avoid detection. Further probes are underway to trace accomplices and recover funds.

Lenders Consult International Limited and its MD/CEO, Dr. Shina Philips, say no funds meant for the Nigeria Police Conference and Retreat for Senior Police Officers were diverted. They were responding to a March 3, 2026 online report, which they described as false and incomplete.

The firm says the conference is a private initiative to support capacity building in the Force. It brings together officers from the rank of Commissioner and above for peer review and idea sharing. The company’s proposal, approved since 2019, placed sponsor sourcing on Lenders Consult. The maiden edition held in Lagos with the state as host sponsor, was opened on behalf of the President by then Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. Subsequent editions held in Uyo (February 2022), Owerri (2022–2024), and Abeokuta (2025).

The company insists it has never received funding from the Nigeria Police. It says it did not share any “purported loot” with any past Inspector-General of Police or the Force PRO, and it kept the event running even when sponsorship was inadequate.

They credit the conference with boosting reforms, including the Police Institute in Abuja. They also proposed the Nigeria Police Awards and Commendations, held in 2024 and 2025 in Abuja and funded by the company and partners. Philips, a FIFA-licensed agent, was appointed a consultant to the Police in 2020 for the aborted Police Week and says he has supported police initiatives without pay, sometimes self-funding official trips. The firm describes itself as a responsible corporate body with cordial media relations since launching the Nigeria Pitch Awards in 2011.

Over the past two decades, jihadist militancy has spread across much of Africa. Weak governance, porous borders, and vast ungoverned spaces helped these groups recruit and entrench. Many are linked to al-Qaeda or ISIS and now operate across multiple countries.

In the Sahel, JNIM, AQIM, and Islamic State in the Sahel strike Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso with village massacres and ambushes. In the Horn, al‑Shabaab has staged major attacks in Somalia and Kenya, while ISIS‑Somalia supports ISIS finance and logistics. Around Lake Chad, ISWAP and Boko Haram target northeastern Nigeria and neighbors with base raids, kidnappings, and forced taxation. Boko Haram’s Chibok abductions remain a grim symbol of the conflict.

In central and southern Africa, the ADF in eastern DRC and ISIS‑Mozambique have carried out massacres, beheadings, mass displacement, and sexual violence. Sudan’s war has also seen the national army, the SAF, accused of strikes on civilians, including attacks on Christian communities, amid influence from hardline networks. These groups cross borders, adapt fast, and exact a heavy civilian toll. Stronger regional cooperation and better protection of civilians are urgent.

He was escorted to his shrine and ordered to demonstrate the spiritual powers he had long claimed. Witnesses say he invoked a deity called “Eze Nwanyi” but no supernatural event occurred.

His failed incantations left him visibly disappointed before he was returned to custody. The exercise was part of a wider security operation launched by Governor Charles Soludo.

Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) stationed in Goniri, Yobe State, successfully foiled coordinated ISWAP attacks on the night of 9 March through the early hours of 10 March 2026.

Following the engagement, troops recovered multiple weapons and equipment abandoned by the fleeing terrorists. Items seized included machine guns, AK-47 rifles, improvised explosive devices, bombs, and assorted ammunition.

Olanrewaju Kayode, a Nigerian international striker based in Turkey, has accused his estranged wife, Ezinne Dora Okoro, of forging corporate documents to take control of his company, DE J-S Concept Limited. He filed a petition with the Nigeria Police Force in February 2026, claiming a conspiracy involving falsified CAC records and the unlawful transfer of shares.

The dispute also features divorce proceedings and competing claims over property ownership. The couple’s children were briefly missing, prompting security interventions.
