Amotekun Arrests Bandits Attempting To Influx Ekiti From Kwara
The Ekiti State Security Network Agency, Amotekun Corps, Oye Local Government Command, has arrested 16 persons suspected to be bandits who allegedly attempted to enter the state from neighbouring Kwara State.
The arrests were disclosed in a statement issued by the Director of Information of the Corps, Mr Adeleye, and made available to journalists.
According to the statement, tension rose in the Gede Farm settlement, Isan-Ekiti, after residents observed a large group of unfamiliar individuals moving around the area with herds of cattle.
The unusual presence reportedly caused panic within the community and disrupted daily activities.
In response, the Oye Local Government Command alerted other nearby Amotekun units, leading to the deployment of additional operatives to the area. The reinforced team subsequently carried out a coordinated operation that resulted in the interception and arrest of the suspects.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects allegedly fled Kwara State due to increased security pressure against banditry in the area. During interrogation, they reportedly confessed to involvement in cattle rustling, with several of the recovered animals said to have been stolen from residents of Kwara State.
Items recovered from the suspects included cash, seven Tecno mobile phones, assorted charms, three identity cards belonging to the Vigilante Group of Nigeria, VGN, and a number of cows.
The Amotekun Corps said the suspects, along with the recovered exhibits, have been handed over to the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, of the Ekiti State Police Command in Ado-Ekiti for further investigation and appropriate legal action.
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.
