THE DAPSON'S TRADITIONAL LOOK



#meetthedapsons

On Thursday morning, the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency announced that it had referred a case involving popular Nigerian singer Simisola, known as Simi, to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police and a special task force for preliminary investigation.

The agency’s Executive Secretary, Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, shared this during an interview with Channels TV. She explained that the decision followed concerns raised over tweets Simi posted between 2012 and 2014.

Over the past week, the singer has been under heavy criticism on social media. The controversy began after she joined ongoing conversations about sexual assault in Nigeria. Soon after, some social media users dug up her old tweets and questioned them.

As the discussion grew, Simi responded by saying her past posts were taken out of context. According to her, people misquoted and misunderstood what she meant at the time.

Now, with the matter officially referred to the police for investigation, many are waiting to see how the situation will unfold.

Impeachment Move: Rivers Chief Judge Rejects Assembly’s Request to Probe Fubara

The Chief Judge of Rivers State, Justice Simeon C. Amadi, has turned down the request by the Rivers State House of Assembly to set up a seven-man panel to investigate allegations of gross misconduct against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Nma-Odu.

Justice Amadi cited existing court orders and a pending appeal as the reason for his decision. This development has effectively stalled the impeachment move by the lawmakers and shifted the battle entirely to the courts.

The situation now leaves the fate of the impeachment process in the hands of the judiciary.

Though temporary, the order carries legal force and must be obeyed pending a motion on notice. The case raises critical constitutional questions on separation of powers, judicial oversight, and the extent to which courts can intervene in legislative impeachment processes without undermining legislative autonomy.

In a statement by the Joint Task Force (North East), the military said 11 terrorist fighters surrendered with their AK-47 rifles and ammunition following sustained operations.

Acting on intelligence, troops also engaged insurgents between Sojiri and Kayamla, neutralising eight terrorists and arresting two suspected collaborators in Gubio LGA for supplying logistics.

Wahala Don Burst for Abuja Oo! Police Arrest ‘One-Chance’ Gang Over Brutal Killing Of Lawyer Princess Chigbo

Wahala don sup for Abuja oo! The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has finally arrested three notorious “one-chance” armed robbery suspects linked to the gruesome killing of legal practitioner Barrister Chigbo Princess Nwamaka Mediatrix, a tragedy that shook the entire nation.

The suspects—described by police as members of a violent criminal syndicate—were picked up in Dei-Dei, Dakwa, and Dan-Tata communities in Kubwa, Abuja, following an intensive manhunt ordered by the FCT Commissioner of Police, CP Miller Dantawaye.

According to a statement released on Sunday, January 11, 2026, by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, the arrests were carried out as part of a renewed crackdown on “one-chance” operations that have returned to terrorise residents of the nation’s capital.

Who Are The Suspects?

Police identified the suspects as:

Saifullahi Yusuf (22) – from Kaduna State

Ishau Yusuf (24) – also from Kaduna State and biological brother to Saifullahi

Minka’ilu Jibril (a.k.a Dan-Hajia) – also from Kaduna State


Investigations revealed that the trio are members of a well-known “one-chance” robbery network that has reportedly operated in the FCT for years, especially during festive periods when unsuspecting commuters are most vulnerable.

How The Lawyer Was Killed

SP Adeh explained that the tragic incident occurred on January 5, 2026, at about 5:50 p.m., when Barrister Chigbo boarded a black Volkswagen Golf 3 along the Kubwa Expressway, believing it to be a normal commercial vehicle.

“Upon entry into the vehicle, the suspects wound up the tinted windows and threatened the victim with weapons in an attempt to force her to pay ransom for her own release,” the police said.

When the lawyer allegedly resisted, she was physically assaulted and pushed out of the moving vehicle, leading to her death.

Na so life just end like that oo.

The suspects also reportedly stole her Android phone and later sold it in Dei-Dei for ₦120,000. According to police:

Minka’ilu Jibril received ₦30,000,

Saifullahi Yusuf got ₦15,000,

While Ishau Yusuf shared the balance with another accomplice who is still on the run.


Dangerous Weapons Recovered

During the arrests, police recovered several weapons allegedly used by the gang, including:

Five pairs of scissors

Two sharp dagger knives

Two other knives

A long chain used to restrain victims

A plier


Police said investigations are ongoing and efforts are being intensified to arrest the remaining suspect and dismantle other criminal networks linked to the syndicate.

NBA Reacts: “Abuja Is No Longer Safe”

The killing of Princess Chigbo sparked outrage across the country, with the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) raising alarm over what it described as the dangerous return of “one-chance” crimes in Abuja.

In a statement signed by its President, Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, the NBA lamented that the capital city had once again been plunged into fear and mourning.

According to the association, Princess Chigbo was not the only victim. Another professional, Ms. Chinemerem Pascalina Chuwumeziem, a nurse, was also killed in a similar “one-chance” attack.

“What appears to be the disturbing return of ‘one-chance’ criminal operations in the Federal Capital Territory has once again plunged Abuja into grief,” the NBA said.

Family’s Painful Account

The late lawyer’s family revealed heartbreaking details of her final moments. Before her abduction, Princess Chigbo was reportedly on a phone call with her sister, Anthonia, when she suddenly cried out in distress and the call cut off.

The family later received a ransom demand of ₦3 million, but before any arrangement could be concluded, subsequent calls captured her screaming in pain.

On January 6, the family was informed that a badly injured woman had been taken to a specialist hospital. When her sister arrived, she found Princess Chigbo’s lifeless body in the mortuary, bearing signs of severe torture, including swollen eyes, bruises, and a cracked skull.

Police Issue Warning To Residents

Commending his officers, CP Miller Dantawaye reassured residents that the FCT Police Command remains committed to flushing out criminal elements from Abuja.

SP Adeh urged members of the public to:

Avoid boarding unregistered or suspicious vehicles

Remain vigilant at all times

Report suspicious activity using police emergency numbers: 08032003913, 07057337653



Wahala don really burst for Abuja oo!
From lawyer to nurse, innocent lives are being cut short by “one-chance” criminals. Nigerians are now asking: how many more must die before this menace finally ends?

Wahala Burst for Edo Oo! Ekpoma DPO Under Fire Over ‘Hausa Officer Who Won’t Listen’ Remark Amid Protest

Wahala don set for Edo State oo! A Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Ekpoma, Esan West Local Government Area, is currently facing heavy backlash after a video surfaced online in which he allegedly made an ethnically charged statement while addressing protesters.

In the viral footage circulating on social media, the officer—whose identity is yet to be officially confirmed—is heard telling demonstrators:
“Don’t worry, I will leave Ekpoma, and they will bring a Hausa officer who won’t listen to anybody.”

The remark was reportedly made during a protest sparked by the killing of a young medical graduate, who was abducted and later murdered by kidnappers even after a ransom had been paid. The tragic incident had triggered anger and frustration among residents, who took to the streets to demand improved security and accountability.

However, instead of calming tensions, the DPO’s comment has now set social media on fire, with many Nigerians describing it as insensitive, divisive, and ethnically provocative.

Nigerians React: “This One No Pure At All”

Following the video’s circulation, reactions poured in from across the country, with many users condemning what they described as ethnic stereotyping and unprofessional conduct by a senior police officer.

One X user, Mr Gerald (@Mr_Gerrie01), wrote:

> “A very insensitive police officer.”



Another user, Everything Politics (@Everypolitics1), said:

> “This statement is troubling because it unfairly stereotypes and dehumanises Hausa people, implying they are incapable of empathy or dialogue. Ethnicity should never be used as a threat or a tool of intimidation.”



Ekong De Superstar (@EkongGodson) added:

> “Imagine what a supposed DPO is spewing. Protecting the lives of the people you swore to serve has now turned to ethnic tirade.”



Similarly, Mister Balo (@MubarakBalogun) described the comment as irresponsible, while Iamowolabi (@Iamowolabi01) urged the officer to focus on his duty:

> “Oga, do your job to protect people, no deh threaten them.”



“We Need Security, Not Ethnic Talk”

Other Nigerians acknowledged the emotional tension surrounding the protest but insisted that bringing ethnicity into the matter only worsens divisions.

Hephzibah Behulah (@HephzibaBehulah) wrote:

> “No one should have to live in fear of kidnapping every day, especially students just trying to get an education. That case where the young medical graduate was killed even after ransom was paid is tragic and shows how bad things have gotten.”



She added that while the DPO may have sounded frustrated, invoking ethnicity was unnecessary and harmful:

> “The protesters are right to demand better security. Threatening to replace one officer with another who ‘won’t listen’ doesn’t solve the real problem.”



Calls for Accountability Grow Louder

As the controversy continues, many Nigerians are now calling on the Edo State Police Command and the Nigeria Police Force headquarters to address the matter, investigate the officer’s conduct, and reaffirm their commitment to professionalism and unity.

For many observers, the incident reflects a deeper frustration with insecurity, police-community relations, and the handling of public anger over kidnappings and violent crime.

Wahala don burst oo — because when people dey cry for protection, na unity dem expect, not ethnic threats. Nigerians dey watch wetin go happen next.

VIDEO: Fubara Urges Calm as Rivers Assembly Begins Impeachment Process
The Rivers State House of Assembly on Thursday formally initiated impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, citing allegations of gross misconduct.

Bandits Kill Four, Burn Homes and Loot Livestock in Niger State as Wawa Community Comes Under Fresh Attack.

Bandits have launched another deadly attack on Wawa community in Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State, killing four residents, burning homes and a church, and carting away villagers’ livestock in a violent raid that has deepened fear across the area.

According to local sources, the assailants struck Damala village near the Woko–Daba mining axis between 8:00pm and 8:30pm, catching residents off guard. Eyewitnesses said the attackers moved swiftly, setting houses ablaze, killing civilians, and escaping into surrounding forests with stolen animals before any help could arrive.

Survivors described scenes of terror as families fled burning homes while others mourned loved ones lost in the assault. Community members say the absence of security personnel has left the area exposed to repeated attacks, forcing residents to abandon farms, churches, and daily activities out of fear.

A community leader, Comrade Zakari Y. Adamu, appealed to state and federal authorities for urgent intervention, warning that without immediate deployment of security forces, more communities in Niger State could face similar bloodshed.

The latest attack highlights the worsening security crisis in Nigeria’s rural and mining regions, where forested terrain continues to provide safe routes for armed groups. As residents demand action, concerns grow that violence may spread if authorities fail to respond decisively.
