Police extradite fugitive to UK over murder, drug trafficking

The Nigeria Police Force has extradited a fugitive, Matthew Chukwuemeka Adebiyi, to the United Kingdom over alleged involvement in murder and drug trafficking. The extradition was coordinated through the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB), Abuja, following a formal request by UK authorities made in September 2024. Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Anthony Placid, said Adebiyi was wanted in connection with the alleged murder of 20‑year‑old Joshua Boadu on June 18, 2018, in the UK, after which he fled to Nigeria. He added that the suspect was also accused of participating in the supply of crack cocaine, a Class‑A controlled drug, between October 2017 and March 2018 in the United Kingdom. Adebiyi was arrested on January 23, 2025, by operatives of INTERPOL NCB Abuja, and extradition proceedings were subsequently initiated at the Federal High Court in Lagos. The court granted the […]

Police unseal PDP secretariat as factions clash over control

The Nigeria Police Force has reopened the Peoples Democratic Party national secretariat, Wadata Plaza in Abuja, handing control to a faction backed by Minister of the FCT Nyesom Wike. Factional National Chairman Abdulrahman Mohammed announced the development in a statement issued by National Publicity Secretary Jungudo Mohammed on Saturday in Abuja.

Police dismiss viral Abuja terror alert arrest video maker

The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed a viral video claiming there was an ongoing terrorist attack in Abuja, describing it as false and aimed at causing panic. Force Public Relations Officer DCP Anthony Placid said no such incident took place in the Federal Capital Territory and warned that the video was entirely misleading and malicious. He explained that preliminary investigations showed the clip was edited from different online footage to create a fake terror alert designed to incite fear and undermine confidence in security in the nation’s capital. Police operatives have arrested one Pam Joseph in connection with producing and circulating the video, following credible intelligence and digital forensic investigations that linked him to the content. Placid stressed that while citizens have the right to free expression, that right does not cover deliberate misinformation that can threaten public peace and […]

Will more defence funds make Nigeria safer

Nigeria has spent about 32.88 trillion naira on defence in the last 15 years, roughly 12.5 percent of total national budgets of 262.834 trillion naira in that period, yet insecurity remains widespread across the country . Despite these rising allocations, many communities still face insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, communal clashes and oil related violence, raising doubts about whether more money alone can make Nigerians safer . Security trackers estimate that over 100,000 people have been killed in violent incidents since 2012, with thousands abducted and about 3.726 million citizens displaced and living in roughly 3,900 camps nationwide . The trend has continued into 2026, with at least 1,091 deaths recorded from violent attacks in just the first 41 days of the year, underscoring the scale of Nigeria’s security crisis despite years of increased defence spending . Against this backdrop, the National […]

IGP Disu inaugurates committee on state policing

Inspector General of Police Tunji Disu has inaugurated an eight member committee to drive the implementation of state policing in Nigeria. The committee, made up of senior security experts and top police officers, is expected to develop a practical roadmap for setting up state police structures across the country in line with ongoing security reforms. Disu said the move follows the Federal Government’s renewed commitment to decentralised policing, which is aimed at improving response to crime and strengthening community level security. He explained that state policing, when fully implemented, will allow state and local authorities to play a more active role in maintaining law and order, while the Nigeria Police Force provides national coordination and standards. The Inspector General also announced plans to strengthen internal oversight mechanisms within the police by giving more independence to units such as the Public […]

Sowore confronts Umahi at police HQ over detained woman’s debt claim

Rights activist Omoyele Sowore has confronted Minister of Works Dave Umahi at the Federal Capital Territory Police Command in Abuja over the detention of a woman who accused the minister of owing her money.​ Sowore shared a video of the encounter on his X handle, saying it took place inside a conference room at the Force Headquarters. The woman, identified as Tracynither Nicolas Ohiri, has alleged that Umahi owes her N250 million for more than 12 years and also accused him of making sexual advances toward her.​ Ohiri is currently in police custody on allegations of cyberbullying the minister. In the footage released by Sowore, she is seen rushing toward Umahi before being restrained by people in the room.​ The clip shows Umahi attempting to leave the venue, but Sowore calls out to him, prompting the minister to turn back […]

IGP Egbetokun removed, to be replaced by Tunji Disu

President Donald Trump’s Nigerian counterpart, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has removed Kayode Egbetokun as Inspector General of Police, paving the way for Assistant Inspector General Tunji Disu to take over as the country’s new police chief. Egbetokun, who was appointed the 22nd IGP in June 2023, was reportedly directed to prepare his handover notes, with senior police and presidency sources confirming that a formal announcement and ceremony are being arranged. Sources quoted in multiple reports say Tinubu personally ordered Egbetokun’s exit amid growing controversies around his extended stay in office beyond normal retirement age, as well as internal discontent over his leadership style. Some officers described him as “power drunk” and linked his removal partly to health concerns, claiming the president wants him to focus on treatment for reported kidney related medical issues. Egbetokun’s tenure was dogged by scandals, including […]

Police insist bail is free, urge public to report erring officers

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has restated that bail is free in all police formations, warning officers against extorting suspects or their relatives under the guise of granting administrative bail. FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, gave the assurance while reacting to public complaints that some personnel were still demanding money before releasing suspects on bail.​ Adeh clarified that no officer is authorised to request or receive payment for bail, describing such demands as corrupt, unprofessional and punishable under police regulations. She urged members of the public to insist on their rights, refuse unlawful payments and document any attempt at extortion, including names, ranks, stations and evidence where possible.​ The command encouraged citizens to promptly report erring officers through the Divisional Police Officers, Area Commanders, the Police Complaints Response Unit and official hotlines and social media channels. It also […]

Tinted glass permit: IGP warns police against extortion, rights abuse

The Nigeria Police Force has restated plans to resume full enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy from 2 January 2026, citing rising criminal activities involving vehicles with unlawfully tinted windows. However, Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has cautioned personnel that the operation must not become an avenue for intimidation, extortion or other misconduct.​ In an internal communication circulated on 15 December 2025, the police high command directed all formations to prepare for nationwide checks on vehicles with tinted glass. The memo emphasised that officers must act within the law, treat motorists with respect and avoid any behaviour that could undermine public trust.​ The police clarified that the earlier suspension of tinted glass permit enforcement was an administrative decision and not the result of any court order. The Force said there is currently no judicial ruling stopping it from implementing […]

Rising Insecurity Pushes Nigeria Closer To State Police Model

Debate over state police has entered a new phase in Nigeria as worsening insecurity and growing public frustration force political leaders to consider concrete changes to the country’s policing system. Many analysts now believe the State Police Constitution Alteration Bill has a strong chance of becoming law, given open backing from President Bola Tinubu and several state governors.​ Supporters of state police argue that a single, centralised Nigeria Police Force can no longer adequately respond to diverse security challenges across a vast and complex country. They say decentralised forces will bring law enforcement closer to communities, improve response times and allow better understanding of local terrain, culture and crime patterns.​ Security experts quoted in recent discussions outline a likely structure in which each state would establish its own police service under a constitutional framework. These forces are expected to operate […]
