The incident was disclosed in a post shared on X by security analyst Zagazola Makama on Saturday.

According to the report, the accident occurred on June 17 along the Jamata–Koton Karfe–Abuja road in Kogi State while troops were on duty.

Sources said the soldiers, who are part of the 12 Brigade deployed in the Pipeline area of Agboja, sustained minor injuries in the crash.

“They were immediately taken to a medical facility, where they are currently receiving treatment and responding well.

“The military vehicle involved in the accident has since been recovered and moved to the Patrol Base in Gegu for further assessment,” Makama added.

Officers of  the Violent Crimes Response Unit, VCRU,  of Abia State Command, has apprehended a man seen in a viral video punching a woman  in the face.

The man, believed to be from Abia North part of Abia State, was seen in the video, pummelling the woman  with hard blows, and was threatening to kill her, at Ogbo Hill area of Aba.

In the video, the woman was also seen raising her hands appealing for mercy and struggling for help while the man kept yelling at her as he landed more blows on her face.

Audio from the video captured the man repeatedly yelling “Ichoro mgbue gi, Ichoro inwu”,  meaning “do you want me to kill you? Do you want to die?”

But reacting to the outrage generated by the video, the Violent Crimes Response Unit of Abia State Police led by CSP Emeka Amanchukwu, arrested the suspect on Saturday.

The suspect was tracked to his location by the police officers and is currently in detention.

Reacting to the development, the Peoples Democratic Candidate for Aba Central Constituency for the 2027 election, Anastasia Odochi Uchenna condemned the assault on the woman, describing it as horrorible.

She called for prosecution of the arrested suspect and equally appealed to the Abia State government and other concerned agencies to provide adequate medical treatment for the victim.

When contacted by DAILY POST, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO of Abia State Police Command, DSP Maureen Chinaka said investigation is ongoing on the matter.

Kidnapped pregnant woman, her children and a sibling in Igboho community, Oyo State, have been released hours after Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho issued a two-hour ultimatum.

DAILY POST reports that Igboho had on Saturday issued a stern warning to Fulani community leaders in the community, asking the kidnappers to release the victims within two hours.

The Yoruba activist also warned the trouble makers, citing the rising cases of kidnapping and insecurity in the country, particularly the Southwest.

In a viral video, Igboho, who spoke in Yoruba language while addressing some stakeholders, could be heard accusing some members of the Fulani community of kidnapping residents, referencing the incidents involving a pregnant woman.

Igboho lamented that someone who took ransom to the bandits was murdered by the assailants.

“The person who brought the ransom, you still killed him and spared only one person,” Igboho furiously said, while warning that such incidents must not repeat.

A few hours after Igboho’s ultimatum, a video clip emerged on social media showing members of the community celebrating the return of the victims.

Although details surrounding their release are still very sketchy, it was gathered that the kidnappers heeded Igboho’s warning and granted freedom to the victims.
