The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has arrested four minors for allegedly stealing iron rods from an uncompleted building in the Guzape area of Abuja.

The suspects, identified as Matthew Vincent (15), Timothy Shedrack (15), Moses Vincent (11), and Lucky Enock, were apprehended after a complaint was lodged at the Guzape Police Station.Residents had reported suspicious nightly activities at the site, including loud noises and swift movements as the minors dismantled parts of the structure.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the minors scaled the fence to gain access and used crude tools to remove the rods, later selling them to a local scrap dealer identified as “Babanbola.” Efforts are underway to locate the dealer, believed to be part of a larger network involved in the theft and resale of construction materials.

FCT Commissioner of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu has called on parents to monitor their children’s activities closely to curb juvenile delinquency.

He also urged construction site owners to enhance security measures, such as deploying guards and installing surveillance systems. Scrap dealers were advised to verify the origins of materials before purchase and report suspected stolen goods.

Nigerian Comedian, Mr Macaroni expresses dissatisfaction with the Governor of Lagos State over traffic issues.

It can be reported that Lagos has been suffering through a serious traffic phase. The reason behind this was revealed to be the Independence Bridge repairs.

Michelle Obama recently shared that when she first met Barack Obama, he wasn’t “financially sound.”

The couple crossed paths in 1988 when Barack joined a law firm in Chicago, where Michelle was already working. On a recent podcast episode she hosts with her brother, Craig, Michelle reflected on the importance of financial stability in a relationship.

During a conversation with British author Jay Shetty, Craig asked Michelle, “Would you be attracted to a guy who’s not financially stable when you meet him?”

Without hesitation, Michelle replied, “Uh, I married one.”

Craig, who seemed to have set her up for that response, laughed and jokingly said, “Don’t you like that alley-oop I just threw you? In basketball, you just point—you don’t even have to say it.”
