🚷 Assaults


Anambra : The Ministry of Women Affairs, headed by Minister Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, issues a statement offering a N1 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Magnus Okpalannadi, 62, who allegedly sexually assaulted his three-year-old daughter


Advisory : These incidents highlight the need for stringent measures in handling sexual assault cases. Regular training on ethics and professional conduct for those in positions of power is essential.


🔫 Kidnapping


Kaduna : Bandits invade the Akwando community in the Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, in the early hours of Wednesday, and abducted an unspecified number of residents


Advisory : The frequent kidnapping incidents call for increased security measures and better protection for media personnel, especially those working in high-risk areas. Implementing safety training and crisis response strategies can also aid in reducing the risk to individuals.


⚠️ Theft


Osun : Two teenagers identified by their first names, Jelili and Babatunde, nabbed by members of the Nigeria Hunters and Forest Security Service for stealing a high-tension electricity cable in Arola village in Ede, Osun State.


Advisory : The government should ensure that public infrastructure is accessible and properly maintained to prevent exploitation. Community policing can also help identify and deter such opportunistic crimes


🚷 Assaults


Kano : Violence erupted on Tuesday after some youths in the town mobilised to stop the council chairman and the emir's envoy from entering the palace.


Advisory : It is imperative for local authorities and community leaders to intervene and mediate the situation to prevent further violence. Employing neutral arbitrators who can facilitate dialogue between the involved parties might help in reaching a peaceful resolution.
