Bandits Abduct PDP Ex-Chairman, Catholic Priest In Kwara
Unidentified gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted former Ward Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Boriya–Shiya Ward, Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara State, Abubakar Sise.
The incident was said to have taken place in the early hours of Thursday.
Meanwhile, the State Commissioner of Police, Ojo Adekimi, on Friday afternoon that he was not aware of the incident but assured that he would investigate.
The attack reportedly occurred around midnight when the kidnappers stormed the compound, firing several gunshots into the air to scare residents.
Locals said one of Sise’s sons, who was returning home late at night, was intercepted by the kidnappers.
At gunpoint, the hoodlums reportedly ordered him to call his father, who then opened the door for them. Upon entering, they abducted only the father, leaving other family members unharmed.
By morning, bullet shells and some live rounds were said to be found scattered around the compound, confirming that several shots had been fired to deter resistance.
Residents described the incident as brief but terrifying, lasting only a few minutes before the gunmen fled.
The local vigilante team in Boriya was immediately alerted and has begun searching the surrounding areas in an effort to track the attackers and rescue the victim.
As of the time of filing this report, the whereabouts of Sise remain unknown.
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.
