Plateau Police Arrest TikToker for Inciting Violence Ahead of Protest
The Plateau State Police Command has made the arrest of a TikTok user, Suleiman Yakubu, who is accused of making threats of violence against security forces in connection with the upcoming nationwide protest.
According to the police, Yakubu, who operates under the TikTok handle “Dam-Mallam68,” is alleged to have posted a video in which he incited violence against law enforcement and called for the destruction of essential state and private infrastructure in Plateau State as part of the planned demonstrations on August 1.
A statement released on Sunday by DSP Alfred Alabo, the command’s spokesperson, revealed that Yakubu was apprehended at Ahmadu Bello Way in Jos, thanks to information provided by a reliable informant.
During questioning, Yakubu admitted to being the individual featured in the viral video.
In response to this incident, the Commissioner of Police emphasized the commitment of the force to preventing any attempts by individuals seeking to disrupt peace and stability in the state.
The Commissioner underscored the importance of maintaining order before, during, and after the protest.
CP Emmanuel Olugbemiga Adesina has urged the residents of Plateau State to adhere to the law and avoid making statements that could undermine public peace and safety.
The police are dedicated to upholding law and order and will take necessary measures to ensure that the state remains calm and secure.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
