Breaking News: Police Deny Herdsmen Attack, Church Crusade Scattered
The Nasarawa State Police Command has dismissed media reports alleging that armed herdsmen attacked Agboda Village in Mararaba Udege, disrupting a church crusade and forcing worshippers to flee.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Ramhan Nansel, described the viral reports and accompanying video as “a gross misrepresentation of facts,” insisting that no herdsmen attack occurred anywhere in the state.
According to the command, preliminary investigations showed that the incident in question was a case of robbery, not an invasion by armed herdsmen.
The statement explained that on November 24, 2025, around 7 pm, a motorcyclist was assaulted by unidentified criminals on a feeder road leading to Agboda Village. The victim sustained machete injuries, and his motorcycle was stolen.
“Upon receipt of the report, the DPO immediately contacted vigilante members in the area, who in conjunction with the police pursued the suspects.
“The criminals abandoned the stolen motorcycle and fled,” the command stated, adding that the victim is receiving treatment at a hospital while the motorcycle has been recovered.
The police also disclosed that the person who recorded the viral video, Daniel Ukpo, is currently in custody and has admitted that the incident had no connection with herdsmen or any disruption of a religious event.
“He has confirmed that there was no herdsmen attack and no disruption of any crusade,” the statement noted.
Commissioner of Police Shetima Jauro Mohammed urged religious leaders to exercise caution in making public statements and to avoid comments capable of inciting tension. He further appealed to journalists and residents to verify information before publication and to refrain from spreading sensational or unverified reports that could trigger unnecessary panic.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
