Police said investigations are ongoing and that the suspects will be charged in court after the process is concluded.
The arrests come amid continuing concerns about the safety of commuters using commercial taxis in Nigeria's capital.
Popular social media commentator VeryDarkMan has criticised a controversial land transaction involving Jordan Wike, son of Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike.
The case centres on allegations by businessman Safwan Garba and his company that Jordan received $2.1 million in connection with a proposed real estate deal involving land in Abuja's Katampe and Guzape areas.
The claimants are seeking to recover the money, alleging that the transaction was not completed as agreed.
However, Jordan has denied receiving the money and disputed the documents allegedly linking him to the deal. The matter is before the court, which has yet to determine the dispute.
The controversy has sparked wider discussions about political connections, wealth, and accountability in Nigeria.

INEC's 2023 Election Glitches Raise Fresh Questions Over Accountability
Nigeria's 2023 general elections continue to attract attention over technical problems that affected the uploading of presidential election results to the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) Result Viewing Portal.
In its official report released in February 2024, INEC acknowledged difficulties with uploading polling-unit result sheets following the February 25, 2023 presidential election.
The commission attributed the problems to a configuration error, server responses, heavy system traffic, and delays in processing queued results. It said software fixes were deployed to address the issue.
The incident generated widespread criticism and raised questions about transparency, technical preparedness, and accountability in Nigeria's electoral process.
Although INEC maintained that the glitches did not undermine the election's credibility, the controversy remains an important lesson for future elections.
The specific allegation that INEC has accused its staff of causing the glitches should be confirmed against the original statement or report before being presented as established fact.
Political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections have attracted attention in Zamfara State following the reported absence of two governorship candidates from a peace accord signing ceremony organised by the state police command.
The candidates, Bilyaminu Shinkafi of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Senator Kabiru Marafa of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), were reportedly absent from the event. Reports indicated that Shinkafi was represented at the ceremony.
The peace accord was organised to encourage peaceful campaigns and prevent electoral violence ahead of the 2027 elections.
The police urged political stakeholders to respect electoral guidelines and avoid actions capable of disrupting the electoral process.
The reasons for the candidates’ reported absence were not immediately clear. Their absence alone does not establish opposition to the peace accord.
As preparations for the 2027 elections continue, attention remains focused on political parties’ commitment to peaceful and credible elections in Zamfara State. L

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDWqCn7ne50 A Nigerian food content creator has raised concerns about the preparation of boiled eggs sold by some street vendors, warning consumers to pay attention to food hygiene.
In a video shared online, the creator explained that a neighbour had told her some egg sellers allegedly add detergent to boiling water to prevent eggs from cracking, speed up cooking and make the shells easier to peel.
Curious about the claim, she reportedly investigated and noticed what she described as a strong detergent smell, empty detergent sachets and foamy water around a pot used for boiling eggs.
However, she admitted that she did not personally witness anyone adding detergent to the water. The allegation has not been independently verified, and her observations do not establish that detergent was used to prepare the eggs.
The incident has sparked concerns about food safety and the need for proper hygiene among food vendors.
Consumers are encouraged to buy food from vendors who maintain clean cooking environments and handle food safely. There is no evidence presented in this account that the alleged practice is widespread or that all street vendors engage in it.
The claims have renewed calls for greater awareness of food hygiene and appropriate inspections to help protect consumers.
