Police Arrests Wife, 9-Month Old Baby Of FIJ Senior Reporter, Sodeeq Atanda by nairalandkachy1(op): 9:38pm On Dec 22, 2025
The police in Lagos have arrested Adenike Atanda, wife of Sodeeq Atanda, a senior reporter with the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ).

The police also arrested the nine-month old baby of the Atandas.

FIJ understands that Atanda’s wife and baby were arrested by men of Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in Owutu, Ikorodu area of Lagos, on Monday evening after tracking them to their neighbourhood.

Neither Adenike nor her nine-month-old baby is a journalist. As of the time of filing this report, FIJ has yet to ascertain their crime.

This is unbelievable! Arrest a man’s wife and child in the stead of the man? Are they criminals to have them arrested and detained?
Why the same security cannot trace terrorists and kidnappers to their locations is what I find befuddling.

Incompetent Nigeria Police Force. They are used to doing things the wrong way.
All these shenanigans are as a result of the personality of the individual at the helm of affairs in the country.

On the contrary how them for do the baby


Arrest the mother and send the baby home
Or leave the baby arrest them self


Or look for the husband
Or let them all go

We need to find the motive behind the arrest before we drag the police not all
They do is bad

To imagine that this same people said that Abacha was a tyrant and dictator.

To imagine this same people claimed that BUHARI (a coup plotter and murderer) was a reformed person.

To imagine that this same people are quiet as their brother Tinubu is doing worst things.


This is to show you that all the talk of progressive democratic orientation from the SW is propaganda.

Na wa!!!

They had no reason to arrest a nursing mother, no reason at all except a murder case

They think arresting the woman and her baby will bring the man out.
What if the man doesn't like his wife?
He will just disappear and never show up.

Police is your friend catch phrase popularised by the ex IGP Tafa Balogun is now nothing but a cliché . I will suggest they file law suit against the NPF. This high level of incompetence must not be tolerated.
Re: Police Arrests Wife, 9-Month Old Baby Of FIJ Senior Reporter, Sodeeq Atanda by Yelight(m): 10:13am On Dec 23, 2025
She should sue them after 24hours and ask for damages. You don't arrest another adult for a crime or offense supposedly committed by another adult.

Not arrest but kidnapping.

Nigerian police are no 1 kidnapping syndicate in the universe.

you cannot arrest the friend or relatives of a criminal because they are not the ones who committed the crime.

this is kidnapping not arrest..

the headline should read "Police kidnaps wife and 9 month old baby of Sodeeq Atanda"..

the wife and her family members should sue the police for kidnapping..
