Adamawa Farmers Struggle with Rising Crop Theft
Farmers in Adamawa State are facing increasing challenges as crop theft becomes rampant, particularly due to the rising food inflation that has driven more people into farming.
Thieves are taking advantage of the abundant crops, leaving farmers like Mrs. Margret Hosea devastated after discovering that her maize farm had been completely harvested by criminals. Despite investing significant time and money, she returned to her farm along the Yola-Fufore road only to find it stripped bare.
Other farmers in the region, such as Bashir Abdul and Danjuma Gurin, have also experienced similar issues, with Abdul noticing frequent small-scale thefts from his farms in Girei LGA. Gurin, whose farms are located near populated areas, believes his proximity to occupied neighborhoods has so far deterred larger thefts. However, in some areas like Wauru Jabbe, the situation is so dire that farmers have resorted to staying overnight in their fields to protect their crops from being stolen before they even mature.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
