NSCDC Confirms Recovery of Four Bodies After Ambush by Boko Haram
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) spokesperson, Babawale Afolabi, has confirmed the recovery of four officers’ bodies following an ambush by Boko Haram insurgents. The attack occurred near the boundaries of Niger and Kaduna states during an inspection of the National Grid Installation.
Of the seven personnel initially reported missing, Afolabi revealed that two officers returned unhurt to base, four were found dead, and one remains missing.
The ambush, which targeted a convoy escorting expatriates stranded in Dagwachi Village after visiting a mining site, involved over 200 heavily armed insurgents. Despite being outnumbered, NSCDC officers reportedly killed over 50 insurgents in a fierce exchange.
The NSCDC Commandant General, Dr. Ahmed Audi, condemned the attack, describing it as a tragic loss. He expressed condolences to the families of the deceased and praised the bravery of the officers.
Dr. Audi urged Corps members to stay vigilant and called for public support to help security agencies tackle insecurity and safeguard lives and property.
He stated, “The personnel demonstrated an unwavering determination and commitment to the service of their fatherland; they deserve all the support they can get from the organisation and government.”
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
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.”
