Niger Police Nab Bandit, Rescue Kidnap Victim in Gurara
The Niger State Police Command has apprehended a suspected bandit and successfully rescued a kidnapping victim in Gurara Local Government Area.
According to SP Wasiu Abiodun, the command’s spokesperson, 22-year-old Samaila Saidu, also known as “Litre,” was arrested on September 28, 2024, at Izom market following a tip-off. Saidu, originally from Zamfara, admitted to being involved in multiple criminal activities including robberies, cattle theft, and kidnappings in Niger State.
Saidu’s arrest is part of ongoing efforts to disrupt bandit operations in the region, and authorities are using his confession to further their investigations into the group’s activities.
In a separate incident, police rescued a kidnapped victim from Takuma village on October 9, 2024, after a gunfight with the kidnappers.
Three suspects were neutralized, and an AK-47 rifle was recovered. Efforts to track down remaining members of the gang are underway.
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,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.

“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
