“Thousands and thousands of Christians are being massacred in Nigeria by terrorists,” — Trump says again.

But an honest question: what about the Muslims who are also being killed daily?
Insecurity in Nigeria does not choose religion. Christians, Muslims, and even traditional worshippers have all been victims of terrorism, banditry, and violence.

So why single out Christians only, when the problem affects everyone?
This is a national tragedy, not a religious competition.

Suspected terrorists, believed to be bandits, have released 17 additional worshippers abducted from the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) in Aiyetoro Kiri Bunu, Kogi State, following sustained negotiations and the payment of ransom.

Naija News reports that the latest release came after weeks of engagement between the abductors, affected families and the Aiyetoro Kiri Bunu Development Association, which has been coordinating community efforts to secure the victims’ freedom.

According to Sahara Reporters, the Kogi State Government was not involved in the negotiations or the releases recorded so far.

The worshippers were abducted on Sunday, December 14, 2025, when armed men stormed the ECWA church during a church activity and whisked away more than 30 parishioners to an unknown location.

The incident sparked panic and outrage within the community and neighbouring areas.

Since the abduction, families of the victims, working with community leaders, have been engaged in prolonged and often difficult negotiations with the kidnappers in a bid to secure the release of their loved ones.

The first breakthrough came on January 1, 2026, when seven abducted worshippers were released after negotiations and the payment of a ransom reportedly put at ₦15 million.

However, the release was marred by tragedy as only four victims were freed alive, while three were confirmed dead – two reportedly died while in captivity, and one died after being rushed to the hospital following release.

Despite the tragic outcome, negotiations continued.

A local platform, Egbe Mekun, reported that three more victims were released on Monday, January 12.

This was followed by the release of 14 additional abductees on Tuesday, bringing the total number of worshippers freed so far to 24.

Community sources said 13 worshippers are still believed to be in the custody of the terrorists.

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 Don Set Oo! Chimamanda Adichie’s Son Dies, Editors Demand Probe Into Alleged Lagos Hospital Negligence

Wahala don really set for Nigeria’s healthcare system oo! Literary editors and public intellectuals are mourning the tragic death of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s 21-month-old son, Nnamdi, while demanding a full and transparent investigation into what they describe as possible medical negligence at a Lagos hospital.

Co-editors of Camouflage: Best of Contemporary Writing from Nigeria, Professors Nduka Otiono and Odoh Diego Okenyodo, described the loss as “profoundly shattering,” joining Nigerians at home and abroad in sympathising with the award-winning author and her husband, Dr. Ivara Esege.

“Losing a child is a pain no parent should ever experience,” the editors said, expressing deep condolences and standing in solidarity with Adichie in what they called her darkest hour.

The statement followed Adichie’s emotional public account in which she alleged that her son’s death on January 6, 2026, was avoidable and resulted from negligence during what should have been routine medical procedures at a Lagos-based hospital.

Quoting her directly, the editors stated: “My son would be alive today if not for an incident at Euracare Hospital on January 6th.”

This revelation has sparked nationwide outrage, with many Nigerians asking tough questions about the safety of hospitals and accountability in the country’s healthcare system.

In response to the public outcry, the Lagos State Government has ordered an independent investigation into the incident, promising that anyone found responsible would face justice. The editors, however, insisted that the probe must not be cosmetic.

“We urge that the investigation be thorough, transparent, and impartial. Every detail must be uncovered so that the truth emerges,” they said.

But this tragedy, they warned, is not just about one family.

According to Otiono and Okenyodo, the death of little Nnamdi exposes deeper, long-standing problems in Nigeria’s healthcare sector—ranging from weak accountability to delays in care and unethical practices. They referenced findings from an anti-corruption survey by TAP Initiative and Dataphyte, which highlighted how informal payments and systemic failures often compromise patient safety.

While clarifying that they were not directly accusing the hospital of such practices, the editors stressed that Nigeria must confront the culture that allows negligence to thrive.

“It is intolerable that any patient—child or adult—should be denied timely care or placed in danger due to failure, indifference, or greed,” the statement read.

They called for:

A comprehensive, independent investigation into all medical and administrative actions surrounding Nnamdi’s death.

Public disclosure of findings, as promised by the Lagos State Government.

Immediate reforms in hospital oversight, with strict sanctions for any healthcare worker found guilty of negligence.


“The people of Lagos have the right to know what happened. If anyone is guilty—whether individual or institution—they must be held fully responsible,” they said.

Beyond justice for Adichie’s family, the editors said the case should become a turning point for Nigeria.

“This should catalyse nationwide action. Our hospitals must be places of care and compassion, not sites of preventable tragedy,” they added.

Paying tribute to the late child, they expressed hope that his death would not be in vain, and that truth, accountability, and reform would emerge from the pain.

As Nigerians continue to mourn with one of Africa’s most celebrated writers, one thing is clear: wahala don set oo. This case has opened a national conversation about patient safety, hospital accountability, and whether ordinary Nigerians—and even global figures—are truly safe in the country’s healthcare system.

Why Are Nigerians Being Killed Abroad? Did New Year Violence in the UK and Canada Expose Growing Dangers for Nigerians in the Diaspora, as NiDCOM Mourns Two Victims?

Are Nigerians in the diaspora becoming increasingly unsafe? The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has expressed deep sorrow over the killing of two Nigerians in separate violent incidents in the United Kingdom and Canada in the early days of the new year, raising renewed concerns about the security of Nigerians living abroad.

In a statement issued on behalf of the Commission’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, NiDCOM described the deaths as shocking and deeply troubling. The Commission noted that the incidents highlight growing fears over the vulnerability of Nigerians in foreign countries, even in societies often perceived as safer.

Dabiri-Erewa extended heartfelt condolences to the families, friends, and loved ones of the victims, urging them to remain strong in the face of the tragic loss. While commending the prompt actions of the UK Metropolitan Police and the Toronto Police Service, she called for thorough, transparent, and timely investigations to ensure that those responsible are identified and brought to justice.

According to reports, one of the victims, John Temitope Onetufo, a 23-year-old Nigerian, was fatally stabbed on New Year’s Eve in the Lewisham area of London. In a separate incident, Osemwengie Irorere, a 46-year-old Nigerian, was shot and killed at the Yorkdale GO Bus Terminal in Toronto, Canada, on Sunday, January 4. Both cases occurred within days of each other, amplifying anxiety within Nigerian communities abroad.

NiDCOM further assured the public that it would work closely with the Nigerian High Commissions in the United Kingdom and Canada to provide all necessary support to the bereaved families, in line with the Commission’s mandate to safeguard the welfare and interests of Nigerians living outside the country.

Beyond condolences, the tragedy has reignited a critical national conversation: Are existing diplomatic and consular protections enough to keep Nigerians abroad safe? Human rights advocates and diaspora groups argue that recurring reports of violent deaths, discrimination, and insecurity demand stronger international engagement, improved community policing partnerships, and better support systems for Nigerians facing risks overseas.

As investigations continue, many Nigerians are asking whether these killings are isolated criminal acts—or part of a disturbing pattern affecting Africans and immigrants in Western societies. For families left behind and a diaspora already on edge, the pressing question remains: What more can be done to ensure that Nigerians seeking opportunity abroad do not pay the ultimate price?

Is IGP Kayode Egbetokun Headed to Prison? Can Nigeria’s Police Chief Be Jailed for Defying Court Orders Over SARS Abduction and Disappearance of Lagos Resident?

Is Nigeria’s top police officer facing imprisonment for ignoring a federal court? The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, now risks being committed to Kuje Correctional Centre after allegedly refusing to comply with binding court orders concerning the abduction and disappearance of John Chukwuemeka Anozie, a Lagos resident taken from his Lekki home in June 2017.

Legal action was initiated by Vincent Adodo, counsel to Anozie’s wife, who has filed contempt proceedings against the IGP for what he describes as persistent disobedience of a subsisting judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja. The ruling, delivered on September 24, 2025 by Justice Binta Nyako, arose from a Freedom of Information (FOI) suit filed by Mrs. Nnenna Anozie after years of unanswered requests for investigation records relating to her husband’s disappearance.

In its judgment, the court ordered the IGP—who failed to file any defence—to produce for prosecution former officers of the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) from Akwuzu, Anambra State, accused of abducting Anozie. The court further awarded ₦2 million in damages against the IGP for refusing to release investigation reports and directed him to forward both the police investigation file and the legal opinion recommending prosecution to the Attorney General of the Federation.

The judgment explicitly noted that police authorities had failed to prosecute the officers despite an internal legal opinion recommending criminal charges. Those listed include ASP Anthony Obiozor Ikechukwu, Sgt. Uzochukwu Emeana, John Eze, Oriole (aka T-Boy), and SP Sunday Okpe.

Yet months after being served with the court order in October 2025, the IGP has allegedly neither prosecuted the officers nor paid the ₦2 million damages. In response, Anozie’s lawyer triggered enforcement by serving the police chief with Form 48 (Notice of Consequences of Disobedience) and Form 49 (Notice of Committal to Prison)—legal steps that can result in imprisonment for contempt of court.

Court filings now show that Mrs. Anozie is seeking an order to commit the IGP to prison until he obeys the court by releasing certified investigation reports, transmitting the case file to the Attorney General, handing over the indicted officers for prosecution, and paying the damages awarded.

The matter is scheduled for hearing on February 9, 2025, when the IGP is expected to “show cause” why he should not be jailed for contempt.

Beyond the personal tragedy of a family still searching for answers after eight years, the case raises a larger constitutional question: Can Nigeria’s most powerful police officer be held personally accountable for disobeying court orders? The outcome could set a critical precedent for rule of law, police accountability, and victims’ access to justice in cases of alleged state abuse.

As the hearing approaches, legal observers, human rights advocates, and the public are watching closely: Will the judiciary enforce its authority against the nation’s police chief—or will impunity prevail once again?

Enugu Doctor Killed After Kidnapping and Shooting, Raising Alarm Over Medical Professionals’ Safety

Dr. Andrew Orovwigho, a consultant neuro-psychiatrist at the Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Enugu, has died following a harrowing sequence of attacks, highlighting growing security risks for medical professionals in Nigeria.

According to reports, Dr. Orovwigho was first abducted on December 30, 2025, outside his residence and shot during the kidnapping. He was released by his captors on January 1, 2026, but tragically, he was attacked again shortly afterward. The assailants allegedly shot him a second time and abandoned him by the roadside.

A passerby rushed him to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries on January 2, 2026. Colleagues described Dr. Orovwigho as a dedicated mental health specialist committed to the care of vulnerable patients. His death has sent shockwaves through the medical community in Enugu and nationwide.

Dr. Sunny Ken Okafor, Chairman of the Nigerian Medical Association, Enugu State chapter, confirmed the incident and said an emergency meeting of doctors had been scheduled to address the escalating threats to healthcare professionals. Many in the medical community have expressed concern that doctors and nurses are increasingly becoming targets of violent attacks, making their work environment highly dangerous.

Tributes have poured in from colleagues, patients, and professional organizations, mourning what they describe as a devastating and preventable loss in the fight against mental health challenges in Nigeria.

Why Did Two Brothers Allegedly Kill Their Father in Adamawa? Police Arrest One Suspect, Launch Manhunt for Fleeing Sibling

What could drive two sons to allegedly murder their own father? This haunting question has gripped residents of Numan town in Adamawa State following the arrest of one of two brothers accused of strangling their father to death in a shocking family tragedy.

The Nigerian Police have confirmed the arrest of David ThankGod, while his younger brother, Joshua ThankGod, remains on the run. According to the Adamawa State Police Command, David was apprehended in Jalingo, Taraba State, after fleeing the state in the aftermath of the killing. Police say efforts are ongoing to track down and arrest Joshua, who is currently evading capture.

The victim, Ogar ThankGod, a well-known businessman in Numan, was allegedly attacked and strangled at his residence in the Gwe-da-Mallam area around 1:00 a.m. The disturbing incident reportedly followed a prolonged family dispute that had already been reported to the police before the fatal confrontation occurred.

According to police spokesperson SP Suleiman Nguroje, investigations revealed that the two brothers—aged 23 and 25—had been called back from Lagos by their sister in an attempt to resolve the ongoing family conflict. However, what was meant to be mediation tragically escalated into violence, culminating in their father’s death. “The matter was already a police case before the unfortunate incident,” Nguroje stated.

The killing has sent shockwaves through Numan, with residents describing it as one of the most disturbing family-related crimes in recent memory. Community members expressed disbelief that a domestic dispute could end in such a brutal loss of life, raising questions about unresolved family tensions, conflict resolution, and the warning signs that precede violent crimes.

Police authorities have assured the public that investigations are continuing and that the remaining suspect will be brought to justice. As the manhunt for Joshua ThankGod intensifies, many Nigerians are asking: Could this tragedy have been prevented, and what really triggered the final act of violence?

This case adds to growing concerns about domestic conflicts escalating into deadly outcomes, highlighting the urgent need for early intervention, conflict mediation, and stronger community support systems in preventing family-related violence across Nigeria.
