Dapromzy333: A former police officer in Edo State, Inspector Edith Uduma, has threatened to kill herself and her children following her dismissal from the police force after she exposed an alleged rape incident involving a colleague.
She accused the state police command of unjustly dismissing her, saying the public had not also heard her side of the story.
Uduma’s dismissal came after a viral video that she captured in October showed one Sergeant Abraham, another officer, in a compromising position with a 17-year-old girl at the police station in the South Ibie area of Edo State.
The officer was seen hurriedly wearing his trousers and querying why Edith was making a video recording. The girl was seen lying on a chair in the room in the course of this.
It was learnt from the police that both officers were later dismissed following an orderly room trial.
The Edo State Police Command, in a statement released in November by its Public Relations Officer, Moses Yamu, alleged that Uduma conspired with her husband, Inspector Ibrahim Mohammed, to extort N1m from Abraham to cover up the incident. When Abraham reportedly offered N45,000 instead, the video was leaked online, the police claimed.
The command said, “That, contrary to reports from certain quarters, the said female police officer, AP/no 228719 Insp. Edith Uduma, was the Charge Room Officer on October 7, 2024, the night F/No. 504694 Sgt Abraham allegedly raped a female suspect in the station.
“The female officer, instead of reporting the incident to the Divisional Police Officer or the Incident Duty Officer as the case may be, for disciplinary actions to be initiated against the erring officer, took advantage of the situation to enrich herself by calling her husband, AP No. 228652 Insp. Ibrahim Mohammed, whom she conspired with to unlawfully demand the sum of N1m from the sergeant to assist him in concealing the matter.
“Following these events, an orderly room trial was initiated against all the officers, which led to the dismissal of Sgt. Abraham and Insp Edith Uduma.”
Uduma’s husband was also demoted to the rank of Sergeant.
However, Uduma denied the allegations in an interview with PUNCH Metro on Saturday, insisting she never extorted money and that she was not given a fair hearing. She alleged that her dismissal was orchestrated because she lacked influential connections.
Uduma who threatened to kill herself if she didn’t get justice said, “What the Edo Command is saying is not what happened. They know I have no rank or support to fight back,” Uduma said.
She further revealed that the Force Headquarters in Abuja was still investigating the matter only for the Edo command to hurriedly dismiss her.
“I want justice. My dismissal is unjust,” she said tearfully.
She said her husband who was also sanctioned had no connection to the matter.
“He (my husband) used to bring something for me to eat. He brought food that time to the station.
“If Nigerians refuse to listen to me – because my husband has been in detention, and they have been looking for me to arrest me, to charge me to court – if Nigeria refuses to listen to me, I will just poison all my children and myself. I will die. Because I’m just stranded like this,” she said, noting she had been in hiding and had not seen her children in a long time due to the incident.
She alleged that the DPO at the station prompted her to ask Sergeant Ibrahim for the N1m for negotiation when the sergeant reportedly disappeared after the incident, noting that this was to lure the suspect to show up.
According to her, she is surprised how the DPO and other officers allegedly turned the matter against her.
“If the police force can do this to a police officer, how much more to the innocent and civilians?”
The spokesperson for the Edo command, Moses Yamu, has not responded to calls and a text message put across to him on Sunday.
News360 Nigeria gathered that the then Divisional Police Officer of the station at the time the incident occurred, SP Lilian Osemwegie, has now retired.
A call was put across to a number said to be hers but a woman who responded after a question from our respondent, said, “Wrong number, wrong number.” PUNCH Metro cannot immediately verify if the former DPO was the one on the call, but a police source insisted it was her number.
In a statement made available to our correspondent on Friday, a human rights group, Take It Back Movement, petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, over what it described as the unjust dismissal of the female police officer and reduction in rank of her husband for reporting the alleged rape case.
The petition titled, “Petition For Review and Reinstatement, Unjust Dismissal From Nigeria Police Force” was released by the TIB Abuja branch and signed by the Federal Capital Teriitory Coordinator of the group, Robert Ande.
“We humbly submit this petition to seek your intervention in the gross injustice perpetrated against Mrs Edith Uduma and her husband (Mohamed Ibrahim) with Force No.: AP/NO 228652 by the Edo State Police Command.
“Her dismissal from the Nigeria Police Force and the deduction of the rank of her husband from (Inspector to CPL) was unjust, and we request a thorough review of her case,” the petition read in part.
“Instead of commending her actions, she was dismissed, and her husband, Inspector Ibrahim Muhammad, was arrested and detained,” the group added, adding that the command’s action was capable of “hindering investigations and protecting the perpetrator of the rape.”
treesun: Nigeria saves $20bn by removing subsidies – Wale Edun
Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun
Wale Edun, Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, has announced that the country has saved $20 billion by abolishing the petrol subsidy and adopting market-based foreign exchange pricing.
Edun made this disclosure at an event in Abuja marking the first 100 days in office of Esther Walso-Jack, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.
“An amount of five percent of GDP is what those two subsidies were costing,” Edun stated. “When there was a subsidy on PMS and on foreign exchange, they collectively cost five percent of GDP. Assuming GDP was $400 billion on average, five percent of that is $20 billion—funds that could now go into infrastructure, health, social services, and education.”

He further explained that the savings are being redirected into developmental projects: “The real change is that no one can wake up and target cheap funding or forex from the central bank to enrich themselves without adding value. Similarly, profiteering from the inefficient petrol subsidy regime is no longer possible.”
President Bola Tinubu officially ended the petrol subsidy regime on May 29.
Despite this, on August 19, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited disclosed that the federal government owed ₦7.8 trillion for under-recovery, contradicting earlier denials of any subsidy reintroduction.
babasolution: Buhari came in in 2015 and bastardized the whole Nigerian system,nothing was left normal ,every sector completely messed up except few roads and bridges constructed.
The banking system collapsed University crumbled Economy destroyed Security destroyed
Buhari n his ministers such as malami,sadiya,emefiele,zainab,hadi sirika,ngige,lai , colluded to destroy the system n ruin innocent lives.
They made naijeriya a Fulani enclave and destroyed the indigenous population.
They murdered in cold blood numerous people of Benue n plateau and southern Kaduna.
After all these they were let go with not a scratch on them except emefiele.
And were supported all through by Yorubas leading to the emergence of this cruel Yoruba rule.
These people will not go to their graves in peace,all they have done to innocent souls will be required of them.
Muhammadu Buhari is a depraved soul, a worthless lifelong degenerate who belongs in the hottest depths of Hell 🔥
Controversial Nigerian content creator, DJ Chicken, has caused a stir online after being chased out of a train in the UK for disruptive behaviour.
In a video making rounds on social media, DJ Chicken was seen recording fellow passengers without consent—an act considered a breach of privacy and punishable under UK law.

Rebuker: A lady shared her experience of how a restaurant in Lagos gave her a robe to wear before allowing her to enter because they felt her outfit was too revealing.
Do you think it's right for a restaurant or any business owner to do that?
Islam needs total reformation honestly, but sadly, I don't see that happening. This child forced marriage should stop amongst Muslim folks. It's so sick reading about it always.
You want to kill your 17 years daughter for refusing to marry a man older than you the father.
USA should protect that poor girl and make sure the idîotic pedophile father is punished and later deported to his God forsaken doomed country.
Islam needs to be eradicated, completely extinguished

Daejumong: Is God punishing Baltasar’s Pastor ? Was his behaviour a failure on the part of the pastor and his church? Was the pastor spiritually insensitive? Should he be partly blamed for not helping him out of his s£x addiction? Did possible non chalance eventually lead to him losing his wife to the bad guy? Was it divine punishment?
It baffles imagination to think that a guy so depraved goes to church regularly! What has the pastor been teaching them? Does he prioritise prosperity over holiness ? Does he turn a blind eye to members’ misdemeanours as long as they drop big offerings and tithes in church? Baltasar slept with hundreds of married women and recorded them including a pregnant woman!
Was it divine punishment for the pastor, that made him lose his wife to the bad sheep he failed to shepherd? Was it a painful way for him to learn the hard way and redirect his steps so he doesn’t miss heaven?

Itaekuson3: Hello, what's up, guys? In this video, I'm going to be talking about Simon Ekpa denying being the prime minister of Biafra, what's currently happening with him, and what some people are saying about this unbelievable denial.
Remember that after the news of his arrest broke, a lot of people have been reacting—some in support and some, shockingly, against.
In case you didn’t know, the news on Thursday, the 21st of November, reported that Simon Ekpa was arrested in Finland, later taken to court for questioning. Simon Ekpa denies being the prime minister of Biafra, claiming he is just an ordinary member.
