Police Officers to Wear Black Armband in Honor of Late Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja
With the passing of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, has instructed all personnel of the Nigeria Police Force to wear a black armband throughout a seven-day period of mourning.
Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja left an indelible mark on the Nigerian Army and the nation as a whole.
Known for his gallant efforts in combating violent crimes and insurgency, he led troops with conviction and played a critical role in key operations that enhanced national security.
His leadership style was admired by many within the military and beyond, and his dedication to the fight against terrorism and other forms of violence earned him respect at all levels of the armed forces.
IGP Egbetokun’s directive shows the deep respect felt across various branches of Nigeria’s security apparatus for the late general.
The black armband symbolizes not just mourning but a tribute to Lagbaja’s memory, his valor, and his relentless efforts to bring stability and peace to Nigeria.
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.”
