The arrests were carried out within 24 hours across Barkin Ladi and Jos North Local Government Areas under ongoing military operations.

According to reports, troops raided criminal hideouts, including a suspected drug base, where several suspects were found with items such as cannabis, mobile phones, and other materials.

In a separate operation, security forces—supported by special units and the DSS—also arrested dozens of suspected members of the Sara Suka group, recovering dangerous weapons during the raid.

The military further recovered stolen cattle and responded to security incidents in nearby states, reaffirming its commitment to dismantling criminal networks and protecting civilians.

The operation comes amid ongoing efforts to tackle rising insecurity and maintain stability in parts of North-Central Nigeria.

“I have always said, we only hear one incident, but nobody talks about how we have been able to curb or reduce these crimes. There is nowhere in this world, even in developed countries, where there is no form of crime.

I don’t believe there is banditry in Abuja. But again, it is a city where people come to do all kinds of things — kidnapping and other crimes,” he admitted.

“So, it will be difficult for anybody to say that in a city, you don’t have one form of crime or another. There is no recurrence of banditry. There is no banditry in Abuja. I know that the last time some people were kidnapped in Bwari, they were all rescued.

We do not need to always highlight one crime when several others have been prevented. Nobody has come out to commend the security agencies,” he concluded.

The suspect was reportedly apprehended at a popular lounge in the Rayfield area, where he was allegedly seen enjoying a night out.

According to sources, the man had checked into the establishment with three women and was spending money lavishly before he was identified.

Eyewitnesses said his presence at the venue raised suspicion, which eventually led to his arrest by security operatives.

The incident has drawn attention online, with many reacting to the circumstances surrounding the arrest.

A Nigerian lady has sparked reactions online after boldly declaring that it's unnecessary for a man to send her money and then forward the transaction receipt as proof, Rep9ja reports.

According to her, sending ₦100,000 just to impress her and then expecting appreciation or gratitude in return is not something she's accustomed to.

She emphasized that a man should not expect her to thank him simply because he sent her ₦100,000, as true generosity doesn't require receipts or public validation.

In her view, attaching a receipt to the transfer turns what should be a kind gesture into a performative act, almost like seeking credit or proof of benevolence rather than giving freely.

She argued that if a man truly wants to impress a woman, he should do so without needing acknowledgment or evidence shared back to him, as that diminishes the sincerity of the action.

The statement has divided opinions on social media, with some users praising her for promoting dignity and rejecting entitlement in relationships, while others accuse her of being ungrateful today's dating scene where financial gestures are often used as a test of interest.

“This action is aimed at strengthening governance and ensuring effective service delivery to the people of Plateau State,” the statement said.

“All affected appointees are to hand over all official documents and government property in their possession to the appropriate offices with immediate effect,” the statement added.

“The Kanam Development Association (KADA) expresses deep sorrow, outrage, and grave concern over the tragic bandit attack that occurred yesterday at about 2:00 p.m. in Wanka and surrounding communities in the Garga area of Kanam Local Government Area of Plateau State.

“Confirmed reports available to our association indicate that security personnel on routine patrol across the communities of Garga, Kyaram, Gyambau, and other neighbouring settlements were ambushed on their way to Wanka by a large number of heavily armed bandits numbering in the hundreds. The patrol team consisted of military personnel and local vigilantes operating in two vehicles.

“In the unfortunate exchange of gunfire that followed the ambush, our nation lost brave defenders who paid the ultimate price in the line of duty. About 12 security personnel, including two senior military officers, were killed.

“Additionally, eight vigilante members who courageously joined efforts to protect their communities also lost their lives. While reports indicate that some of the bandits were neutralized during the encounter, the loss suffered by our security forces and community defenders is deeply painful and unacceptable.”

“We call for enhanced coordinated operations along the Plateau-Taraba-Bauchi border as well as relief support for victims who have lost livelihoods, homes, and livestock,” the statement said.

n a short video clip she posted online, she openly described her past years of clubbing, heavy drinking, drug abuse, and other destructive habits that once controlled her life.

She explained how these behaviors left her empty, broken, and far from God.

However, through an encounter with Jesus Christ, she surrendered her life to Him, repented of her sins, and experienced true deliverance and freedom.

Today, she lives a renewed life filled with purpose, joy, and peace, fully dedicated to serving God and sharing her story to inspire others.

According to reports shared on social media, the woman had reached out to the man, for a business meeting. Both ordered meals, and when the bill arrived, the woman then expected the man to cover the entire cost, assuming he would pay as is common in some dating scenarios.

The man firmly refused, pointing out that she had extended the invitation and chosen the venue, so it was only fair for her to handle the bill. He argued that an invitee shouldn't automatically bear the full expense.

This sparked an intense argument, with raised voices and visible frustration from both sides. The man reportedly stood his ground, while the woman appeared upset and insistent on her original expectation.

Mata Zalla in Hausa means 'exclusively women'.

The initiative features women operating tricycles that transport only female passengers, aligning with the state's conservative cultural norms, while men operate separate tricycles for male passengers.

This program not only addresses cultural concerns but also promotes economic empowerment by training women to become tricycle drivers in a male-dominated industry.

Notably, the Mata Zalla service offers lower fares to encourage greater patronage among women.

In the viral video circulating online, the visibly heartbroken and furious boyfriend is heard passionately lamenting his situation.

He repeatedly emphasizes how he was the one who originally found and rented the apartment for her, and how he has been solely responsible for taking care of her finances, covering rent, bills, and other expenses.

Shouting in frustration and disbelief, he confronts the cheating pair, pointing out the betrayal after all he had invested in their relationship and her well-being.

The incident quickly sparked reactions on social media, with many viewers sympathizing with the man over the ingratitude and deceit, while others debated the heated confrontation and its aftermath.

The lady explained that the incident happened while she was travelling from Ibadan to Lagos in search of better employment before completing her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

According to her, she had been aggressively searching for better job opportunities and had submitted applications to several companies.

One of the companies later responded with what appeared to be an attractive job offer and invited her for an interview in Lagos.

She said she left Ibadan early that morning and boarded a bus heading to Lagos for the interview.

However, during the journey, she began to feel strangely uncomfortable.

She explained that although she could not clearly describe the feeling, something within her body did not feel right. Despite the uneasiness, she continued the trip.

As the bus approached its final stop, she decided to ask the driver for directions to the area where the interview was scheduled to take place.

Suddenly, one of the passengers on the bus shouted, “Don’t go there!”

The passenger explained that his cousin had gone for a job interview in the same area the previous week and had not returned since. He added that their family had already started tracking the people responsible.

The warning immediately alarmed the lady.

She said she quickly thanked the stranger for the information and decided not to continue with the journey.

Instead, she got down from the bus and boarded another one heading straight back to Ibadan.

When she returned home, she decided to carry out proper research on the company that had invited her for the interview.

According to her, the company had already been labelled online as scammers and kidnappers targeting unsuspecting job seekers.

Reflecting on the experience, she described the incident as a miracle she still cannot explain.

She also advised people to always verify job interviews before travelling, warning that not every opportunity presented is genuine.

God used a stranger on the bus to save me from kidnappers that day. I was traveling to Lagos for what I thought was a job interview.

Before I finished NYSC, I was aggressively searching for a better job opportunity. I applied to many companies, and one of them eventually responded with what sounded like a very attractive offer.

Early that morning, I left Ibadan for Lagos for the supposed interview. But while I was on the bus, I felt strangely uncomfortable. I couldn’t really explain it, but something in my body just didn’t feel right. Still, I continued the journey.

When we were almost at the final bus stop, I asked the driver for directions to the area where the interview was supposed to take place.

Suddenly, one of the passengers shouted, “Don’t go there!”

He explained that his cousin had gone for a job interview around that same area the previous week and had not returned since. According to him, their family was already tracking the people responsible.

Immediately I heard that,I thank him very well, I got down and took another bus straight back to Ibadan.

When I got home, I did proper research on the company and discovered that they had already been labeled online as scammers and kidnappers.

Till today, I still see it as a miracle I cannot explain.

Please verify any job interview before traveling. Not every opportunity is genuine.

“This is fake !!! Very fake news …”

The incident, captured in videos circulating on social media, has triggered intense debate online about relationships, financial support, and accountability among young couples.

According to reports, the man had visited the campus to propose to his girlfriend with an engagement ring. However, the woman declined the proposal in front of other students, leading to a heated confrontation shortly afterwards.

In the viral footage, several female students were seen confronting the lady after the proposal was turned down.

They questioned why she would allow the man to sponsor her education and lifestyle if she never intended to marry him.

Witnesses in the video could be heard asking her why she accepted his financial help over time only to reject him when he proposed marriage publicly.

The situation quickly sparked wider discussions on social media, with many users divided over the issue.

Some people argued that accepting significant financial support from a partner creates expectations in the relationship, particularly when it involves education and personal expenses.

Others insisted that financial support should not automatically guarantee marriage or emotional commitment.

Another circulating clip reportedly shows a similar moment where a woman rejected an engagement ring from her boyfriend on campus after he travelled to propose.

The videos have since attracted thousands of reactions online, with many Nigerians debating the ethics of relationship sponsorship and public proposals.

He came to her school to propose, but she turned him down, despite the fact that he has been sponsoring her.

“Guys, so, I’m starting a intimacy gadget brand and this was inspired by the Holy Spirit for intimacy gadgets only for Christian women.

“Targeted only for Christian women. If you know that your husband is not pleasuring you very very well and you want to pleasure yourself, yes you can pleasure yourself with the holy spirit. This is inspired.”

The couple began trending on social media following the release of their maternity and newborn photos.

The pictures, reportedly taken by a Kaduna-based photographer, quickly drew attention and triggered mixed reactions from users online.

While some people congratulated the couple and wished them well, others raised concerns about the bride’s age.

Several commenters questioned whether she was old enough to be married and become a mother, sparking a debate about early marriage in northern Nigeria.

Critics argued that the young couple should focus on education and personal development before marriage.

On the other hand, some social media users defended the couple’s decision. Supporters insisted that marriage at a young age is preferable to engaging in premarital sex.

The regulation is contained in the Taliban’s updated Criminal Procedure Code for Courts, signed on January 7, 2026, by Hibatullah Akhundzada.

Under Article 32, a husband is only deemed an offender if the beating causes a broken bone, an open wound, or leaves the woman “black and blue,” and only if the wife formally reports the case to a judge.

According to the text, if these conditions are met and a complaint is made, a judge may sentence the husband to just 15 days in prison.

In all other circumstances, the law effectively permits domestic violence with no legal consequences.

The code also authorises husbands to administer so-called discretionary punishments, known as tazir, further embedding male control over women within the legal system.

The provision has been confirmed through official translations reviewed by Afghan Analysts Network and documents leaked by Rawadari.

It has also been reported by international media and legal monitoring bodies, including CNN, JURIST, and Human Rights Watch.

Rights organisations warn that the law formalises violence against women and removes any meaningful protection for victims of domestic abuse.

The union, which began with joy and celebration, quickly turned sour when both partners failed to agree on where to worship after marriage.

According to sources close to the family, the husband had asked his wife to join his church after their wedding. He believed it was important for them to worship together as one family.

However, the wife refused. She was said to be deeply committed to her church, where she served as a Children’s Department Coordinator.

She reportedly explained that she had built a strong bond with the children in her department and could not simply walk away from them.

The husband suggested she could continue serving in the same department in his church. He reportedly told her she might even grow further in her role there. Despite the proposal, she declined.

The husband also raised concerns about the couple being under different doctrines. He feared that separate teachings could affect their unity in the long term.

His wife stood her ground and refused to reconsider her position. What began as a simple disagreement gradually developed into open conflict.

Sources said the wife stopped cooking for her husband. She also denied him intimacy as tensions escalated. Both parties reportedly took their grievances to their respective pastors.

Family members and church leaders later stepped in to mediate. Several meetings were held in an attempt to resolve the crisis.

Her pastor reportedly insisted that she remain in her church. Meanwhile, his pastor emphasised the importance of unity in marriage and encouraged her to join her husband’s congregation.

Despite repeated efforts, no compromise was reached. With neither side willing to shift ground, the situation remained unresolved.

Three months after their wedding, the marriage officially came to an end.

My husband’s friend’s marriage ended just 3 months after the wedding… because they couldn’t agree on attending the same church.

The husband wanted his wife to join his church after marriage.
The wife refused. She was deeply committed to her church and served as a Children’s Department Coordinator. According to her, she had built a strong bond with the kids and couldn’t walk away from them.

The husband suggested she could continue serving in the same department in his church, maybe even grow more there. She declined.

He also expressed concern about being under different doctrines and how it could affect their unity. She still refused.

What started as disagreement turned into protest.

She stopped cooking.
She denied him intimacy.

Both reported each other to their respective pastors.
Family members and church leaders tried to mediate.
Her pastor insisted she stay.
His pastor emphasized unity in marriage and encouraged her to join her husband.

No compromise.
No resolution.

Three months later, the marriage ended.
Personally, I feel conversations like this should be settled during the talking stage. But sometimes, people will do what they want to do anyway.

May we not marry the wrong partner🙏

“First, when my man talk I don’t talk. If he like let him shout on me… I will not do it. Why? Because I was trained properly because my mother trained me well. As a woman, when a man is talking — I mean your husband — you don’t talk back. Until una don marry, na when this post go begin to concern una.”

“See as a woman, most of your Celebrities, most of your people online that you love that are married… when their husband is talking they don’t talk. They don’t argue especially when they know that this man is angry. They find a better time, a perfect time to respond to their husband.”

“Either when he’s happy, probably eating, you have already made a special meal for him because you want to communicate something to him. You want to tell him that this thing he did to you or said to you is wrong. You didn’t like it… At the moment you’ll say, ‘Baby, before anything, I want to talk to you about something,’ then communicate.”

“If you can’t do these things I’m telling you, just hold on until you are really ready to settle down.”

“Tonight is indeed a night of honour, not just for me, but for the peace-loving people of Plateau State. I am particularly delighted that Plateau stands united, giving the necessary backing in our collective effort to provide inclusive governance. With me here tonight are my predecessor, Distinguished Senator Simon Lalong, and former Deputy Speaker, Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase, demonstrating the new spirit of unity and love on the Plateau,” he stated.

“The only way we can secure enduring peace is when leaders take responsibility and provide the necessary leadership for the people to follow. Yesterday, we may have been political rivals; today, we stand together in the interest of peace and development. That is the new Nigeria we seek to build, beginning with the solid foundation we are laying on the Plateau,” he affirmed.

“I was in my HND 2 at Plapoly when friends introduced me to Goskolo,” he recalled.

“The first day I took it, I had a serious hangover in the morning and could not go to school. Anything I ate, I threw up immediately. Later, my friends came around and when they saw my condition, they quickly went and bought me more ‘Goskolo’, telling me that the remedy to the hangover was to take the drink.

“And true to their words, after I took the drink again, I became normal but I did not know that it was going to be an endless cycle for me. Since then, I have been drinking ‘Goskolo’ every day. I had to drop out of school as I was always drunk and could not cope with my academics again. Now I do menial jobs to survive but any money I make goes to ‘Goskolo.”

“I really wish I could turn back the hands of time. I regret the first day I took a sip of ‘Goskolo’. This drink is addictive and presently, I am not okay as I have been diagnosed with enlarged liver but it will take the grace of God for me to stop,” he said.

“You can leave your house with nothing and go back well satisfied. ‘Goskolo’ drinkers are not selfish people,” Dandy boasted.

“Over the years, in spite of all we suffered on the Plateau because of ‘Goskolo’, there is no law that prohibits its brewing and consumption,” Anthony lamented.

”There is no where you have violent conflicts in Plateau that will not be linked to ‘Goskolo’ or drug abuse in general. So, we are calling on the state to enact a law or put in place stringent and implementable policies that will ban the brewing and consumption of ‘Goskolo’ and other illicit drugs,” he added.

“Unlike regulated alcoholic beverages, which are produced under strict safety guidelines, ‘Goskolo’ is often concocted in unregulated, unhygienic conditions. The lack of oversight in its production means that consumers have no way of knowing the true contents of what they are ingesting, making every drink a potential risk.

“Healthcare providers are witnessing an upsurge in cases related to ‘Goskolo’ consumption with hospitals reporting a rash in admissions for alcohol poisoning, liver disease, and other health complications linked to the toxic gin,” he said.

“Youth who become addicted to this gin often abandon their educational and career aspirations, leading to increased dropout rates and a loss of future leaders and professionals.

“The economic impact is significant, with many affected individuals becoming unable to contribute productively to their communities. The social fabric of Plateau State is at risk as the gin erodes the potential and vitality of its younger generation,” Idi said.

“The threat posed by ‘Goskolo’ to the youths of Plateau State cannot be underestimated. Immediate and sustained action is required to address this public health crisis.

“By banning the production and sale of this dangerous gin, enforcing existing laws, and providing education and support to affected individuals, Plateau State can safeguard the health and future of its young population. The call to reject ‘Goskolo’ is not just a plea for better health but a demand for a brighter, more hopeful future for all,” he added.

All this made up stories

“On my wedding day, my wife’s mother yelled at her husband because he was lagging behind for family pictures,” he wrote.

“I called my best man to the corner and told him I’m cancelling the wedding. Because if her mother can talk down on her husband in such a manner in public. I’m afraid her daughter (my wife) will do worse,” he stated.

“I pretended to answer a troubling call and left the venue. Told them I needed to pick up the ring,” he wrote.

“Turned off my phone. Till the next day. The marriage ended,” he added.

The development was made public in a report shared on Sunday morning, stating that PEPSA shut down Madam Calabar Restaurant and Calabar Restaurant, both located at Old Airport area of Jos, due to unkept surroundings and poor sanitary conditions.

According to the report, the enforcement action followed a routine environmental sanitation monitoring exercise carried out across the state on Saturday, February 28, 2026. Officials of the agency were said to have inspected several premises during the exercise, including food outlets and restaurants, to ensure compliance with environmental and public health regulations.

During the inspection at the Old Airport eateries, authorities reportedly observed unsatisfactory sanitary conditions and unclean environments, which they described as falling short of acceptable public health standards. As a result, the agency moved to seal the premises pending further compliance measures.

In addition to the sanitation concerns, some minors were allegedly found working in one of the affected restaurants. The matter was promptly referred to the Plateau State Commissioner for Women Affairs, Caroline Panglang Dafur, for appropriate action in line with child protection and labour laws.

PEPSA noted that the monitoring was part of its ongoing efforts to enforce environmental sanitation laws and promote a cleaner, healthier environment across Plateau State. The agency reiterated its commitment to ensuring that business owners adhere strictly to hygiene standards, particularly those operating in the food and hospitality sector.

The closure of the restaurants has sparked reactions among residents of Jos, especially patrons familiar with the popular Old Airport establishments. While some residents commended the agency for enforcing sanitary regulations, others expressed concern over the impact of the shutdown on staff and customers.

As of the time of filing this report, the management of the affected restaurants had not issued an official statement regarding the closure. Further updates are expected as investigations and compliance assessments continue.

“It’s only someone who doesn’t know VeryDarkman that will attack him unprovoked,” she wrote.

“If you go for VeryDarkman, you will be the victim, If VeryDarkman come for you, you will still be the victim.”

“Yes VDM haven’t given any account for the donation made so far to the foundation but how about other things he has been doing?” she stated.

“There was a time I also thought about this, I asked questions and from the results, VeryDarkman has done alot Worth more than that,” she wrote.

“She said she renovated a school under 6 days, VDM said he’s going on Monday to see the school then she said the work is starting on Monday,” she wrote.

“The moment VeryDarkman posted this: ‘If I see The Ooni of Ife, I will bow down to greet him whereas he is bowing down to Mitchy on WhatsApp. A whole Ooni of Ife, I am disappointed,’” she quoted.

“She even referred to him as ‘even this king had to find my contact. No wonder, she can never regard me. A whole first class king in the history of Nigeria. Shout out to The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, may your reign be great.’”

“Now she drank hypo for what? It doesn’t Worth it honestly,” she wrote.

“No amount of dragging and drama should make you drink hypo or sniper! It doesn’t worth it please!” she stated.

“Think about your parents, your friends, your brand.. It doesn’t worth it please!!!”

“I truly hope to hear good news about her before tomorrow after.. Please don’t take any substance because of online dragging and drama! Pleeeeeessssssee! I don’t know why I’m crying over this!”
