The Police Command in Kaduna State said its operatives arrested a suspected bandit and recovered an AK-47 rifle in the Kudaru forest of Saminaka, Lere Local Government Area of Kaduna.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige, made this known in a statement on Saturday in Kaduna.
Jalige said the operatives on June 18 at about 0745 hrs, while on routine patrol along Kudaru forest in Saminaka, Lere LGA of Kaduna state, intercepted a Volkswagen Golf vehicle, green in colour with Reg.No.KAG 142 AA, heading towards Kaduna.
He explained that the operatives noticed the suspicious disposition of the occupants of the said vehicle and tried to flag them down but they immediately parked some distance away and took to their heels into the forest.

“The policemen, however, engaged them in a shootout and succeeded in apprehending one suspect and when the vehicle was searched, an AK47 rifle was found concealed in a bid to escape the eagle eyes of the security forces along the route.
According to him, the suspect is currently undergoing a thorough investigation and is giving useful information to the police while concerted efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing members of the gang to face the full wrath of the law.
Jalige said the Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Umar Muri, assured members of the public that the command would do everything possible to ensure that members of the gang were dislodged and their operational weapons recovered.
He also charged officers and men of the command to be vigilant at all times to effectively police their areas of responsibilities.

The recently sacked appointees of the Imo State Government sacked by Governor Hope Uzodinma are reportedly working behind the scenes for their reappointment.
It was gathered that some of them are still working effectively with the Governor despite their disengagement over a month ago.
Our Imo state correspondent said a handful of them still attend government functions and seem not to accept their appointments have been terminated.
However, some of the Governor’s close allies are bombarding him with calls and text messages, begging to be reconsidered for the next batch of appointment.
<a name='more' id="more"></a>
The sacked Commissioner for Education, Prof. B. T. O Ikegwuoha, was quoted as saying that he was ‘indispensable’ in Uzodinma’s government hence, must be reappointed.
While the former Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, Fabian Ihekweme and his counterpart from Lands, Survey and Physical Planning, Noble Atulegwu, are using the social media method to gain the Governor’s attention, others have turned to prayer warriors both in their houses and churches to make the second list.
Similarly, the sacked Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Prints, Modestus Nwamkpa, recently posted on his Facebook page that ‘he is still fully in government’.
Meanwhile, members of the public have protested why a sacked Special Adviser on Special Duties, Nze Chinasa Nwaneri, could be signing for government releases.
Tension, however, is at its peak as the Governor compiles a fresh list of his new appointees.
The Interim Management Committee chairmen of the 27 LGAs are also living in anxiety that the Governor may lay them off sooner than later.

Worried by insecurity in their area, which resulted in the kidnapping of some villagers, angry residents of Kakau Ward in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Saturday morning blocked the ever busy Kaduna-Abuja Highway.
They were protesting regular attacks on their community, which they claimed led to the loss of four lives.
According to a 49-year-old resident of the community, Alhaji Ibrahima Dauda, they have had sleepless nights for months as kidnappers always attack them, and dispossess them of their valuables before taking their neighbors to their den.
“We are tired of kidnappers who at will invaded our community to abduct our natives, and residents. Just four weeks ago, four of our members were kidnapped. A large sum of money was demanded. We are peasant farmers, we don’t have such money to pay.
<a name='more' id="more"></a>
An eyewitness on the scene, told newsmen that the blockade which started Friday night, was around Ungwan Doma before Kakau, along the Kaduna-Abuja Highway.
In an interview, Madam Rose Gimba, who lives in the community, said that the villagers blocked the road to draw the government’s attention to their plight.
Also, a young man identified as Moses Obafemi who said he was on his way to Abuja, said he trekked after the flyover to board a vehicle to Abuja, but still could not get any incoming vehicle due to road block by villagers.
The Kaduna Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Mohammed Jalige, did not pick calls made to his phone. Text messages sent to him were also not replied.

A mob reportedly set a truck belonging to Dangote Cement Factory, Ibese, Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State, ablaze after it crushed two men to death.
The driver of the truck is said to have narrowly escaped being lynched.
It was gathered that the ugly incident happened on Friday along Igbogila-Ilaro road.
It was learnt that the two men were on a motorcycle, heading from Igbogila to Ilaro when the incident happened.
<a name='more' id="more"></a>
A source told our correspondent that the driver of the Dangote truck swerved off his lane, having a head-on collision with the oncoming motorcycle, otherwise known as okada.
“The two men – rider and passenger, died on the spot,” the source told our correspondent.
The Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) confirmed the incident on Saturday.
TRACE spokesman, Babatunde Akinbiyi, said, “according to eyewitness accounts, the Dangote truck driver engaged in reckless driving. He left its lane to face the motorcyclist and the pillion passenger at his back in the other lane and crushed them to death.
“An angry mob later set the Dangote truck on fire while the driver ran away. The case is being handled by the Dangote Plant Police Post.”
Akinbiyi added that one of the dead victims’ bodies had been deposited at Ilaro General Hospital morgue, while the other victim had been buried by the family.

The large wooden boat used to convey the illegal 210,000 litres diesel. 
The Nigerian Navy has arrested 10 suspected vandals conveying 210,000 litres of diesel, Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), concealed in water tanks inside a large wooden boat around the Lagos Anchorage.
A statement by the Information Officer, Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) BEECROFT, Sub-Lt. Veronica Effiong, on Saturday, said the vandals were arrested on May 8 by personnel of the NNS BEECROFT while on routine patrol.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects are of Nigerian origin attempting to smuggle the AGO to the Benin Republic before their arrest,” the officer said.
<a name='more' id="more"></a>
She said the Commander, NNS BEECROFT, Commodore Bashir Mohammed, reiterated the commitment of the base to the protection of critical national infrastructure and the eradication of illegal activities in its area of responsibility.
“This is in line with the Chief of the Naval Staff’s mission statement and Strategic Directive of 2021-5.
“The determination of the Nigerian Navy to rid Nigeria’s Maritime space of all forms of criminality and the emplacement of a safe maritime environment for legitimate businesses has yielded a positive result,” she said.
Effiong said the vandals and seized products had been handed over on June 15 to the Lagos Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) for further investigation and prosecution.
“I urge members of the public especially our host communities to kindly furnish the base with credible information to assist in curbing the activities of criminal elements and economic saboteurs,” she said.

Why we told our children about their mum’s rape ordeal, Timi Dakolo reveals

Singer, Timi Dakolo, has revealed that he and his wife, Busola, informed their kids about her rape ordeal when she spoke out about it in June 2019.
Speaking during an interview with media personality, Toke Makinwa, Dakolo said, “Yes, we informed our kids. I think I raised my kids differently. Children love validation. My kids can talk to me and express themselves very well. I had to make them know that their mother is a superhero. I explained that it was a painful experience that happened when their mum was very young. They understood even though they might not know the gravity of what it was. They understood that something was happening. So, anytime they go to her, they give her a hug.
“When you tell someone that, ‘I’ve got you’, be true about it. Often times, we associate being a man with muscle, biceps and strength. The pain that one feels that is not physical is the real pain. When one tells one’s partner, ‘for better, for worse’, most people think it is just ‘for the better’ because one cannot quantify the worse. It does not announce itself. When one says those words, one has to be sure. Don’t say it because everyone is saying it. Many times, she had wanted to tell me certain things but I had waved her off. I had known about the issue and telling me was not easy for her.”
On whether he was worried that his wife’s revelation would have a negative impact on his career, the ‘Iyawo Mi’ singer said, “No, I was not worried that her story might affect my success. People don’t get it. Someone once asked me this question and I said I would always know how to sing. In the midst of six million people, I would sing and people would notice. The word ‘man’ is synonymous with responsibility and one won’t need certain things when one is strong. When they say family first, it means let everything stop. It’s not in the good times alone.”
<a name='more' id="more"></a>
When asked about his opinion on failed marriages, he added, “Before two people decide to get married or have children, they should sit down to talk. Forget all the marriage counselling that says ‘you must obey him’ or ‘when he is talking, the woman should keep quiet’. I think we place too much (emphasis on) religion in front of this thing called marriage. For instance, it is not every time that the husband talks that the wife should not talk. It is not every time that love is at its highest. Forever is such a long time for one to make a mistake. Discuss deeply without external input first. Everything should be based on the truth. I think one of the biggest mistakes is when one gets married, thinking one’s partner would change. One cannot change anybody. Human beings will fail one and let one down. We are prone to make mistakes. If one marries the idea of a Prince Charming, it would fail one. One must give up a part of one’s ego to stay in a marriage.”
