Insecurity: Immigration Declares Death Of Three Officers In Kebbi Attack
The Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, has confirmed the killing of three of its personnel in a fresh attack by gunmen suspected to be members of the Lakurawa armed group in Bagudo Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The attackers stormed an NIS checkpoint at Bakin Ruwa on Thursday night, opening fire on the officers before setting their patrol vehicle and shelter ablaze.
Sources indicated that the assailants launched the raid around midnight while the officers were on duty.
“Last night, gunmen suspected to be Lakurawa attacked the Nigeria Immigration Service checkpoint in the Bakin Ruwa community of Bagudo LGA.
“They killed three NIS officers, set a patrol vehicle ablaze, and destroyed the shelter during the attack,” the source said.
Confirming the incident on Friday, the NIS Public Relations Officer, Akinsola Sheriff Akinlabi, condemned the killing, describing it as a tragic loss for the Service.
“It is sad and unfortunate that we lost these gallant men of the Service. The Comptroller-General of Immigration, Kemi Nandap, and the entire officers and men of the Service commiserate with the families of these personnel who paid the supreme price in the line of their lawful duties,” he stated.
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.
