The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the arrest of Ihsanatu Shaaibu and one other unnamed suspect for physically abusing her five-year-old stepdaughter.

This was made known in a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, and shared on X.com on Thursday.

According to Adejobi, the arrest took place earlier on Thursday, and investigations are now underway to ensure justice is served.

The statement read, “CHILD ABUSE: In relation to the viral video where a woman identified as Ihsanatu Shaaibu physically abused and caused grievous injuries to her stepdaughter, a five-year-old.

“The suspects have been arrested today, Thursday 9th Jan 2025, and will be prosecuted as soon as investigations are concluded. We will keep you abreast of the proceedings.”

Recall that a teacher, Stella Nwadigo, was arrested and arrainged for physically assaulting a three-year-old pupil at Christ-Mitots International School in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.

Nwadigo was apprehended after a video surfaced online showing her repeatedly slapping a young child, Abayomi Micheal.

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have arrested four Chinese nationals and 101 Nigerians in a business apartment in the Gudu area of Abuja over suspected internet fraud.

The commission announced the arrests on Thursday, 9 January 2025, via a tweet on its X handle on Friday.

“The suspects, comprising 67 males (including four Chinese nationals) and 38 females, were allegedly involved in a hotel review job scam targeting victims and hotels in Europe and other parts of the world.

“The suspects will be charged to court upon the conclusion of the investigations,” the tweet partly read.

In its ongoing efforts to rid the nation of internet fraud and other corrupt practices, the EFCC has been making significant strides in recent months.

In October 2024, 10 individuals were convicted and sentenced to various jail terms and fines for internet-related offences, following a crackdown by EFCC operatives.

The suspects had pleaded guilty to charges involving internet fraud, impersonation, and employment fraud.

In December 2024, the EFCC executed its largest single-day crackdown on cryptocurrency and romance scam syndicates, apprehending 792 suspects in Lagos State. According to a report by The Cable, the operation resulted in the arrest of 158 foreigners and 634 others in a single raid on a Lagos property.

Recently, the commission disclosed that 27 of its officers were dismissed in 2024 for misconduct and fraudulent activities.

The EFCC also announced that it is investigating “a trending $400,000 claim made by a yet-to-be-identified supposed staff member of the EFCC against a Sectional Head.”

EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale, in a statement issued on Monday, 6 January 2024, said the dismissals followed recommendations by the EFCC Staff Disciplinary Committee, which were subsequently ratified by the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede.

“In its quest to enforce integrity and rid its workforce of fraudulent elements, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission dismissed 27 officers in 2024.

“Their dismissal, following recommendations by the Staff Disciplinary Committee, was ratified by the Executive Chairman, Ola Olukoyede,” Oyewale stated.

A sex worker has allegedly stabbed a barman to death in Adamawa in a quarel over N200 liquor change.

The state police command has arrested the sex worker, Riyanatu Musa, for allegedly stabbing the barman, Yohanna Musa, in a fit of anger over the said money.

The sex worker, based in Mubi South LGA, killed the barman after the two disagreed over a N200 balance the barman was supposed to collect from her.

Riyanatu Musa, confessing the crime to the police, narrated that she had collected dry gin known as ‘Big Ben’ and one other drink from Yohana Musa and promised to pay the following day, saying that she paid N1,500 remaining the balance of N200.

She explained that the fight ensued between her and the victim when he demanded for his money and in the course of it, she stabbed him with a knife in the chest.

She denied insinuation that she stabbed Yohana under the influence of liquor, stressing that she did not take the drinks that fateful day.

She expressed regret over her action, but the state Police Public Relations, SP Suleiman Nguroje has said the Commissioner of Police, Morris Dankombo, has ordered further investigation into the matter and warned members of the public from taking the law into their own hands.

The Nigeria Police Force says its officer captured in a viral video where the Nigeria’s local currency, naira was abused has been identified and detained.

DAILY POST reports that a video clip that captured the officer alongside a businessman, identified simply as Chief Okoya, recently went viral.

In the video, the officer was sighted giving aide to the businessman while the currency was being abused.

NPF in a terse statement on its official Facebook page on Friday said the officer has been taken into custody for subsequent disciplinary action.

The post reads, “The policeman captured in the recent viral video shared by the sons of the lagos businessman, Chief Okoya, where they were abusing the naira, has been identified and detained for disciplinary action.

“The involvement of the policeman has been condemned, as it’s unethical.

“We will always strive hard to uphold the sanctity, credibility, and core values of the police”.

Meanwhile, it is unclear if the primary suspect has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

A midnight fire has killed a 24-year-old woman identified as Jumai Sunday and her infant son, Nasir Rabiu, in Abuja.

He said the source of the fire was yet to be ascertained, adding that the police have since begun an investigation into the matter.
