Benue Security Commander Killed in Fiery Gun Battle as Police Disarm 11 Bandits

A Benue State Joint Taskforce Operation Zenda Unit Commander was killed in a fierce gun battle with suspected armed bandits terrorizing the Sankera axis of the state. The fight, which lasted for over 12 hours, took place in Katsina-Ala, Ukum, and Logo local government councils, where the security agents had raided a militia camp. The officer who was killed, an Inspector of Police commanding the Operation Zenda team in the area, was shot dead when the armed gang opened fire on security agents as the operation went on, a source who did not want to be named revealed. The police, however, retaliated with superior firepower, killing 11 bandits outright while others fled into nearby bushes. The raid was prompted by a cry for assistance from the locals who were reporting an assault by the militia, said the source. Security personnel moved in quickly and raided the hideout, and an intense gunfight erupted that carried on from Tuesday evening into early Wednesday.

The Nigeria Police Force has refuted claims by Mr. Muhuyi Magaji Rimin Gado, chairman of the Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, that he was arrested by police authorities. Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, clarified that Mr. Gado was merely invited for questioning regarding a petition lodged against him, and any claims of arrest are misleading and unfounded. “The police received a petition against Mr. Gado on Friday, January 17, 2025, through the Inspector-General of Police Monitoring Unit,” Adejobi said. “Following standard investigative protocols, he was invited to engage with officials as part of due process in addressing the allegations.

Nigerian Man Replaces Allegedly Stolen Items After Kemi Badenoch’s Remarks on Police

James Akinwande, a Nigerian resident in the United Kingdom and international manager of comedian Kenny Blaq, has replaced the shoes and wristwatch that Kemi Badenoch, leader of the British Conservative Party, claimed were stolen from her brother by members of the Nigeria Police Force. Badenoch’s remarks, made in a December 2024 interview, sparked widespread reactions. She alleged that Nigerian police officers had robbed her family during a visit to the country. “The police in Nigeria would rob us. I remember the police stealing my brother’s shoes and his watch. It’s a very poor country, so people do all sorts of things,” she said, contrasting her negative experience in Nigeria with positive encounters in the UK. The comments drew backlash from Nigerians, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, who accused Badenoch of repeatedly tarnishing Nigeria’s image. In response, Akinwande posted a video documenting his purchase of a new pair of shoes and a wristwatch in the UK, which he delivered to the Conservative Party’s headquarters for Badenoch. “On behalf of every proud Nigerian who felt genuinely hurt by those unfounded disparaging remarks about the Nigerian Police, we ‘buy back’ the stolen shoes and watch! (I hope it fits, tho..),” Akinwande wrote in the video. The video quickly went viral on social media, though the original post was later taken down. The incident has reignited conversations about perceptions of Nigeria’s institutions abroad and the responsibilities of public figures in addressing sensitive issues.
