IBBU Lapai Student Stabbed to Death During Robbery Near Campus
The Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University (IBBU), Lapai, was thrown into mourning after an undergraduate was stabbed to death during a robbery near the campus in Niger State.
The incident happened in the early hours of Monday when armed men stormed a student lodge in the Ndakatabu area, just outside the school gate. The victim, identified by fellow students as Jafar, a 200-level Education student, was attacked and stabbed in the neck. He was rushed to the General Hospital in Lapai but sadly did not survive.
News of his death spread quickly across the university community, leading to protests by students who blocked the busy Agaie–Lapai highway. They demanded justice for their colleague and called for stronger security both within and around the school environment.
“We can’t keep living in fear every night,” one angry student said. “The government and school authorities must act before more lives are lost.”
The Niger State Police Command confirmed the incident, with Commissioner of Police Adamu Elleman ordering a full investigation and a manhunt for the attackers. Police spokesman Wasiu Abiodun said tactical teams had been deployed and assured students that those behind the crime would be caught.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
