Residents of Tyungu Jam and Mbaav communities in Kwande Local Government Area, Benue State, were thrown into confusion on Thursday after suspected thugs abducted a mortuary attendant and prevented families from retrieving bodies for a planned mass burial. The victims were among those killed during a recent bandit attack on the communities located in Yaav and Mbadura council wards of Kwande LGA. Several families had gathered at the morgue to collect the remains of their loved ones for burial when they discovered that the mortuary attendant, MT Tiga, had reportedly been taken away and the facility sealed. At least 11 victims of the earlier attack were scheduled for a mass burial ceremony that had attracted residents, clergy, and sympathisers from within and outside the state. Reacting to the killings, the Governor of Benue State, Hyacinth Alia, described the attack as “senseless and barbaric” and urged security agencies to track down the perpetrators. The All Progressives Congress in the state also condemned the disruption of the burial, describing it as disgraceful. In a statement issued by the party’s publicity secretary, Daniel Ihomun, the APC alleged that sponsored thugs abducted the mortuary attendant to stop the Turan community from conducting the mass burial for those killed in Mbachoon, Yaav District. The party said the action was inhumane and denied the affected families their right to mourn and bury their loved ones with dignity. Also condemning the incident, the President General of Mdzough U Tiv Worldwide, Iorbee Ihagh, described the situation as shameful, questioning why anyone would oppose the burial of victims of violent attacks. Meanwhile, the Chairman of Kwande Local Government Area, Neji Terhile, said organisers of the mass burial failed to consider the volatile security situation in the area. Terhile disclosed that he was heading to the community alongside homeland security officials and other government agencies to assess the situation. He urged residents not to politicise the incident and confirmed that some of the victims of the attack had already been buried.

Gunmen have killed a 35-year-old man, Sufiyanu Garba, and abducted his wife during an attack in the Badariya area of Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, in the early hours of Thursday. Confirming the incident, the Kebbi State Police Command said it had launched a full investigation into the attack. The command’s spokesperson, Bashir Usman, stated that the incident occurred on March 13, 2026, and resulted in the death of Garba and the abduction of his wife. He said detectives visited the scene shortly after the report and immediately began investigations. According to him, the victim was rushed to Sir Yahaya Memorial Hospital, where a medical doctor confirmed him dead. His remains were later deposited in the hospital morgue. Usman noted that a police checkpoint was located not far from the scene and emphasised that timely information from residents could help security operatives respond more quickly to emergencies. He added that the Commissioner of Police had directed the State Criminal Investigation Department to take over the case to ensure a thorough investigation, rescue the abducted woman, and bring the perpetrators to justice. The police also assured residents that additional measures were being taken to strengthen security across Kebbi State, while urging the public to promptly report emergencies through the command’s 24-hour distress lines.

The Ogun State Police Command has launched an investigation into the alleged shooting of popular skit maker and social media influencer Samuel Perry in Sango-Ota, Ogun State. The incident reportedly occurred last Sunday afternoon while the comedian was filming a comedy skit under the Sango-Ota bridge. Although details surrounding the shooting remain unclear, a police source said the entertainer sustained a gunshot injury during the filming. However, the police said they could not confirm whether the incident actually occurred within Ogun State. In a statement, the command’s spokesperson, Oluseyi Babaseyi, urged the public to avoid spreading unverified information while investigations continue. “For the sake of clarity, the command cannot confirm that Broda Shaggy was shot anywhere within Ogun State. Investigation into the matter has, however, commenced,” he said. Sources said the skit maker was immediately rushed to Blooming Care Hospital, where he received initial treatment after sustaining the injury. He was later referred to Duchess International Hospital, where he is currently recuperating. Confirming the development, the spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Abimbola Adebisi, said the police were alerted by hospital authorities about a gunshot victim brought to their facility. She said officers who visited the hospital discovered the victim was Broda Shaggy and that he had sustained an injury to his thigh. According to her, the incident location falls within Sango-Ota, which is outside the jurisdiction of the Lagos police command, but investigations are ongoing. Meanwhile, the entertainer’s manager, Olufemi Oguntamu, declined immediate comment, saying he was busy and would respond later.
