The Benue State Police Command has confirmed the killing of a notorious bandit during a gun battle with operatives in Ukum Local Government Area after an attempted kidnapping incident.In a statement on Thursday, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Udeme Edet, said the confrontation occurred at about 11:43 a.m. on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, following credible intelligence that armed bandits had been sighted around Channel Two, Zaki-Biam, plotting to abduct a hotelier.Operatives from the Ukum Division were deployed to the area, but the bandits opened fire upon sighting the patrol team, triggering a shootout. According to the police, one of the suspects was fatally injured after officers responded with superior firepower.
A locally fabricated Beretta pistol, two rounds of live 9mm ammunition, and a bag of charms were recovered from the scene.The injured suspect was taken to the General Hospital in Zaki-Biam, where he was confirmed dead. He was later identified as Terkaa Samuel, a notorious bandit from Jandekyula in Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State.
The police said additional patrol and tactical units have been deployed to track fleeing members of the gang, some of whom may have sustained gunshot wounds.
In a separate operation earlier that day, operatives of the Jato-Aka Division responded to a violent clash between rival cult groups, Red and Black, which resulted in two deaths and several injuries.Eight suspects were arrested, while recovered items included a locally fabricated pistol, an expended cartridge, two axes, and two machetes. Injured victims were taken for medical treatment, and efforts to apprehend other fleeing suspects are ongoing.The Commissioner of Police, CP Ifeanyi Emenari, reassured residents of the command’s commitment to protecting lives and property and urged the public to continue providing timely and credible information to aid policing efforts.
Suspected bandits stab Plateau resident to death

A 44-year-old man, Ayuba Choji, has been killed by suspected bandits in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State .
PUNCH newspaper reported that Mr Choji was stabbed to death on Wednesday night in the Kumex–Mararaba–Foron axis of the Heipang–Foron Road, where gunmen believed to be Fulani bandits attacked him and another man who were travelling on a motorcycle.
A community leader, Moses Dung, told the newspaper that residents had received threats before the attack and were warned to vacate the area.
“Before now, we have been receiving threats to leave our community. And last night, the assailants suddenly emerged from hiding and attacked two people moving on a motorcycle without provocation. They stabbed Ayuba Pam Choji, and sadly, he gave up the ghost,” Mr Dung said.
A survivor of the attack said the assailants ambushed them as they rode through the area.
In a statement on Thursday, the Berom Youth Moulders Association (BYM) condemned the killing, describing it as “barbaric and unprovoked,” and urged security agencies to investigate and bring those responsible to justice.
The statement, signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Rwang Tengwong, said the group was worried about what it described as suspicious movements of armed elements across several local government areas in Plateau.
“No grievance can justify the taking of innocent lives,” the group said, calling for intensified security patrols and protection of rural communities and farming corridors.
The killing comes amid a wave of violent attacks across Plateau State in recent weeks.
PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported that on 3 January, gunmen attacked B**g village in Qua’an-Pan Local Government Area, killing at least seven people during a night raid on the community.
The newspaper also reported that on Christmas Eve, 24 December, gunmen invaded Bum community in Jos South, killing another seven residents, while several others were injured.
In response to the situation, security forces have intensified operations in parts of the state.
On 1 January, troops of the 3 Division of the Nigerian Army and the Joint Task Force, Operation Enduring Peace, foiled a planned attack on communities in Wase Local Government Area, killing five suspected bandits during an ambush.
Attempts by PREMIUM TIMES to reach the Plateau State Police Public Relations Officer, Alfred Alabo, were unsuccessful, as his phone was switched off.
However, a police source at the command headquarters confirmed that the police were aware of the incident in Barkin Ladi and had commenced investigations to identify and apprehend those behind the killing.
Residents of the area have called for increased security presence, warning that repeated attacks on travellers and farmers are deepening fear and disrupting livelihoods across Plateau’s rural communities.
Kwara Bandits demand N400m, food, drinks for release of 22 captives

The bandits in Kwara are demanding Four Million Naira (N4,000,000), food and drinks for the release of the 22 captives they kidnapped from various communities in the southern state.
The communities where the victims were sn**ched are: Adanla, Isapa, Isanlu-Isin, and Owa-Onire, these areas are not covered by the military outposts established by the state and federal governments.
The Vanguard reported that the daring bandits migrated from the areas with a strong security presence, such as Okeode, Babanla, and Eruku, to the less protected communities to continue their incessant attacks.
It was also reported that the nine people remain in captivity in Adanla, including the monarch of Afin in Ile Ere district, Oba Simeon Olanipekun, and his son, Olaolu, who were abducted in December. Nine others kidnapped in Isapa and two from Isanlu-Isin earlier this year are also still held. Additionally, two people abducted in Owa-Onire in December remain with the bandits.
The Olowa of Owa-Onire, Oba AbdulRahman Fabiyi, who was himself kidnapped in 2024 and later released after paying a ransom of N5 million, said efforts are ongoing to secure the release of the two captives from his community.
“I spoke with them yesterday. We have paid N2 million and negotiated down to N800,000 plus a list of food and drinks the bandits demanded,” he told journalists.
The monarch lamented the porosity of the community and pleaded with the state government to establish a police station in Owa-Onire to curb frequent abductions.
“They always operate freely here. Once the ransom or supplies are exhausted, they will abduct again. Security presence is urgently needed,” Oba Fabiyi said.
Oba Olanipekun of Afin recalled his own ordeal in the hands of the bandits, noting the vastness of the forests, multiple escape routes, and long-standing knowledge of the terrain as major challenges for security agents.
Zubair Olaitan, Coordinator of the Joint Security Watch for Kwara South Senatorial District, explained that the region’s forests, hills, caves, and porous borders provide a safe haven for bandits. He added that some locals have reportedly supported the bandits with food, shelter, and intelligence, further complicating security efforts.
Olaitan noted that the lack of effective communication and coordination between security agencies and local communities has hindered the fight against banditry. He said the Kwara State Government and federal agencies have deployed forest guards and launched joint patrols, yielding some successes in neutralizing bandits and arresting suppliers of guns and essentials.
However, no progress has been made regarding the bandits’ demand of N300 million for nine victims abducted in Adanla on Boxing Day, December 26, 2025. The nine victims were originally seized in an attempt to abduct the community king, David Olarinoye, and his wife, who were away at the time.
In Isapa, Akeweje of Isapa land, Chief Idowu Sunday, confirmed that 11 people remain in captivity. The bandits initially demanded N300 million but later reduced their demand to N35 million. Chief Sunday noted that a pregnant woman among the captives was briefly released when she went into labor, highlighting the dire human toll of the kidnappings.

JUST IN: Lagos Bans Street Begging, Begins Arrest of Beggars
OpidNewsJan 9, 2026Read original
Follow OpidNews and comment
The Punch Newspapers, on January 8, 2026, reported that the Lagos State Government has stepped up enforcement against street begging and related nuisances, conducting raids that resulted in the arrest of dozens of individuals across key areas, including the Lekki-Ajah Expressway and other strategic locations.
Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, announced the operations via social media updates, stating that the raids aim to restore order, enhance public safety, and clear roads of obstructions posed by beggars and urchins. The exercise, described as ongoing, focuses on reducing risks to motorists and pedestrians while maintaining environmental standards in the metropolis.
The intensified action follows longstanding concerns over street begging, often linked to traffic hazards, organised syndicates, and exploitation of vulnerable groups, including children. Recent operations have targeted high-traffic zones where beggars frequently approach vehicles, creating distractions and safety issues.
Public reactions have been mixed, with some commending the move for improving urban aesthetics and security, while others, including reality TV star Tacha, criticised the handling of child beggars, arguing it fails to address root causes like poverty. In response, Wahab emphasised that the government’s role is enforcement of laws, not parenting, and highlighted prior rehabilitation efforts that some individuals reportedly abandoned to return to the streets.
This crackdown builds on previous enforcement drives in 2025, where similar raids led to arrests in areas like Alimosho, Agege, Oshodi, and Ikosi-Ketu. Authorities have indicated that arrested persons are profiled, with options for rehabilitation or repatriation where applicable, though critics call for more sustainable solutions like skills training and social support.
As Lagos pursues its vision of a cleaner, safer megacity in 2026, the operations underscore the balance between urban management and humanitarian considerations in addressing a persistent social challenge. Residents are urged to report violations while stakeholders advocate for comprehensive policies to prevent recurrence.
