I’m saddened to hear about the boat accident in Niger State. According to the report, a boat carrying approximately 100 passengers capsized while traveling from Dugga Mashaya in Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State to Wara market in Kebbi State. The boat was carrying both people and goods such as grains and sugar cane. The exact number of casualties and survivors is still unclear, but search and rescue operations are currently underway.

The Director-General of the Niger State Emergency Management Agency (NSEMA), Abdullahi Arah, assured that efforts are being made to locate and rescue the missing passengers. This is not the first boat accident in the region, as a similar incident occurred in .Many missing as boat with 100 passengers capsizes in Niger

  • Kidnap of Dr. Babatunde: Edo Police Arrest Three Suspects in AuchiThe Edo State Police Command has recorded further breakthroughs in the ongoing investigation into the kidnap of Dr. Abu Babatunde, following successive arrests made during sustained intelligence-led operations in Auchi and surrounding areas. The first arrest was recorded on February 3, 2026, when operatives of the Auchi Division, in collaboration with local hunters and vigilante groups, conducted a routine bush-combing operation at Warake Forest based on actionable intelligence. During the operation, one suspect, Saminu Kawujie (male), was intercepted. A search conducted on the suspect led to the recovery of: Two (2) knives Two (2) mobile phones One (1) UBA ATM card Cash sum of Twenty Thousand, Two Hundred and Fifty Naira (₦20,250) An identification parade was subsequently conducted at the police station, during which the suspect was positively identified as one of the abductors of Dr. Abu Babatunde. In a related development, on February 8, 2026, at about 9:00 a.m., the Divisional Police Officer, acting on further intelligence related to the same case, mobilized operatives to the Specialist Hospital, Auchi, where two additional suspects—Idris Abubakar (male) and Sani Abubakar (male)—were arrested at the hospital premises. Both suspects were identified as members of the gang responsible for the abduction of Dr. Babatunde on January 2, 2026. Investigations further revealed that Idris Abubakar was the individual who received the ransom paid for the victim’s release. The Edo State Police Command has intensified efforts to conduct a comprehensive and discreet investigation aimed at dismantling the entire organized criminal network behind kidnapping activities in Auchi and its environs. The Commissioner of Police, Edo State Command, CP Monday Agbonika, fdc, reassured members of the public of the Command’s unwavering resolve to pursue all kidnapping cases to a logical conclusion and ensure that all perpetrators are brought to justice. He further emphasized that aggressive bush-combing operations and intelligence-driven policing will be sustained across the State.
