🗡 Homicide


Borno : No fewer than seven operatives of the Nigerian Army have been confirmed dead after their vehicle hit an explosive in Mugunu area of Maiduguri in Borno State.


Advisory : Increase surveillance and counter-IED (Improvised Explosive Device) operations in the region. Enhance intelligence-gathering efforts to identify and neutralize explosive threats. Provide support and compensation to the families of the deceased soldiers and offer counseling services to their colleagues.


🚷 Assaults


Oyo : Gunmen, on Wednesday, attacked a 50-year-old Okada rider, Sikiru Muritala, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital in an attempt to snatch the machine, and chopped off his hand.


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.


🚩❌ Political Corruption


Kastina : The Department of State Services (DSS) has said that its operatives in Katsina State Command recovered 2000 bags of rice from the 20 trucks donated to the state by the Nigerian government.


Advisory : Conduct a thorough investigation into the misappropriation of the donated rice and hold those responsible accountable. Enhance transparency and accountability measures in the distribution of government aid. Implement strict monitoring and auditing mechanisms to prevent future occurrences.
