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?

Six Kidnappers Arrested in Nasarawa: How Did Nigerian Police and Vigilantes Raid Forest Hideouts to Rescue Abducted Victims Alive—Is This the Turning Point in the State’s Kidnapping Crisis?

Can community cooperation finally break the grip of kidnappers in Nasarawa State? In a coordinated security operation, the Nigerian Police arrested six suspected kidnappers and rescued three abducted victims during a joint raid carried out with local vigilante groups in Angara and Fadaman Bauna villages.

According to police authorities, the operation was triggered by a distress report filed on January 7, after armed men reportedly invaded Angara village, abducted two women, and later seized one man, abandoning an infant at the scene. Acting swiftly on the complaint, the Commissioner of Police, Shetima Jauro Mohammed, ordered an immediate manhunt for those responsible.

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Ramhan Nansel, confirmed that officers from the Assakio Division in Lafia East Development Area, working alongside community vigilantes, tracked the suspects to forest hideouts in Angara and Fadaman Bauna. The joint raid led to the arrest of six suspects and the successful rescue of the victims alive.

Nansel disclosed that the rescued victims—two females and one male—were found unharmed, promptly given medical attention, and safely reunited with their families. He added that the suspects have confessed to their alleged crimes and have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further interrogation and prosecution.

Police authorities assured residents that the command remains committed to a sustained crackdown on criminal activities across the state. The commissioner emphasized that security forces will continue targeting kidnapping networks and forest hideouts to protect communities and restore confidence in public safety.

This development comes amid growing concerns over rising kidnappings in parts of central Nigeria, where rural communities have increasingly become targets for criminal gangs. Observers say the success of this operation highlights the importance of community intelligence, vigilante collaboration, and rapid police response in confronting organized crime.

But questions remain: Will this arrest disrupt wider kidnapping networks in Nasarawa? Can joint operations between police and local groups be sustained? And will the prosecution of the suspects send a strong enough message to deter future abductions? As residents welcome the rescue, many are watching closely to see whether this operation marks a lasting shift in the fight against kidnapping in the state.

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.

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.

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?
