The police in Yobe State have caught Haruna Mohammed, a well-known criminal boss who was causing fear in many places, including nearby states.

The police spokesperson, DSP Dungus Abdulkarim, shared this news on Monday, June 17, 2024. He said Haruna was taken for doing crimes like scaring people, working with others to do bad things, and demanding money by threatening them.

DSP Abdulkarim explained that Haruna would call people and scare them into giving him money or valuable things by threatening to hurt or kill them.

The Police Chief, CP Garba Ahmed, has promised that criminals will find no safe place in Yobe State. The police have made another big step in cleaning the state of bad guys with Haruna’s capture.

Haruna, 40 years old and living in Lantewa Village, was caught by the State Intelligence Department (SID). He’s known for his scary phone calls where he asks for money or things from people.

The police were already looking for Haruna because he was scaring people in towns, villages, and even other states.

One person from Siminti Village told the police that Haruna asked him for N3 million or he would kill him and his family.

On June 16, 2024, around 2:15 pm, SID detectives caught Haruna in Nangillam Village after a smart operation. He admitted to his crimes and named other criminals who are now being chased by the police.

The Police Chief warned that anyone thinking of committing crimes will be stopped. He asked everyone to tell the police if they see any crimes happening and asked for help to keep the state safe.

Loni Anderson, the golden-haired TV icon best known for playing Jennifer Marlowe on the classic sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, has died at the age of 79. Her passing comes after a long battle with illness, just two days shy of her 80th birthday. She died peacefully in Los Angeles, surrounded by loved ones, according to her publicist.

Anderson became a household name in the late 1970s with her sharp, confident, and glamorous portrayal of Jennifer; the clever receptionist who stood out not just for her beauty, but for her brains. The role earned her two Emmy nominations and three Golden Globe nods. It also made her one of the most recognizable faces on television at the time.

While WKRP was her breakthrough, Loni’s career stretched far beyond that one show. She took on a mix of roles in TV movies and series throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s, including a standout performance as Thelma Todd in a true-crime drama. She also starred in comedies like Easy Street and had recurring roles in shows like Nurses.

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has assured residents of Abuja that more development projects are on the way, stressing that his work is far from over. Speaking at a media parley in Abuja, Wike explained that the Tinubu-led government inherited numerous challenges, but steps are being taken to address them.

He emphasized that the recent commissioning of projects was simply to mark the president’s second year in office, not a signal that the work is done. “There’s still a lot ahead,” he said. “We’re working on several roads like Pai to Gomani, Deidei, Kasana where the Renewed Hope Housing Estate is located, and we’re also pushing forward with the Court of Appeal division and Federal High Court justices’ quarters.”

Wike also mentioned road projects like the continuation of the N5 and N20, as well as ongoing efforts under the ‘Lit Up Abuja’ initiative, especially with the city’s 50th anniversary coming up next February. He added that school rehabilitation is also in progress, stressing that the workload is massive.

“I haven’t taken any break,” he said. “After 16 days of back-to-back commissioning, many wouldn’t have lasted.” Wike said the current government is working to fix problems that have lingered since 1999, but reminded Nigerians that it’s unrealistic to expect everything to be solved in just two years.

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has pledged to upgrade 10 schools across rural areas in the Federal Capital Territory. He made the promise during a recent media chat, saying he would immediately instruct the mandate secretary of education to begin work on the project.

“I promise ten schools. As I leave here, I will tell the mandate secretary to set up the scheme. It will be in the rural areas,” Wike said. This comes as some critics accuse the minister of focusing mainly on infrastructure while overlooking other key areas. Responding to the concerns, Wike explained that it’s unrealistic to expect equal progress in all sectors within just two years.
