By Damina Yusuf

Tragedy has struck again in Bauchi, as armed robbers attack students of the state-owned Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic, barely two weeks after the Federal Polytechnic Bauchi was hit by a similar incident.

According to sources, the attack occurred around 3 a.m. on Friday, when three armed robbers broke into an off-campus lodge housing two students.

During the struggle, one of the students was stabbed in the stomach, and later died after losing excessive blood.

In a statement signed by its president, Usman Aliyu, the Students’ Union Government condemned the attack, described it as tragic and senseless.

The union demands a thorough investigation, and calls on the authorities to beef up security on campus, and in the surrounding communities, to prevent further incidents.

The union also urged students to remain calm, and prioritise their safety.

Efforts to get confirmation and reaction from the Bauchi State Police Command were unsuccessful.

The deceased student has been identified as Samuel Mbami, an ND2 Mass Communication student.

The Vice Chancellor of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, Professor Mohammed Hadi Sulaiman, has expressed deep appreciation to the District Head of Paiko, Alhaji Mohammed Mansur Mustapha, the family of the late student, and other traditional leaders for their condolence visit to the University Management.

He noted that the entire University community was thrown into mourning by the tragic death of the student, who was killed by suspected phone snatchers a day after resuming for the second semester.

Professor Sulaiman assured the family that the Management has taken proactive measures to strengthen campus and off-campus security in collaboration with relevant security agencies to forestall a recurrence of such a sad incident.

Earlier in his remarks, the District Head of Paiko, Alhaji Mohammed Mansur Mustapha, who led the delegation alongside the student’s father, Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim, and the District Head of Tutungo, Alhaji Musa Abdullahi, said the visit was to sympathize with the University over the loss of one of its students.

LAPAI TV NEWS | ‘We Will Get Him’ – EFCC Places Former NNPC Boss, Mele Kyari, On Watch List

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly placed former Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, on its watchlist as part of its ongoing investigation into the controversial $7.2 billion refineries’ turnaround maintenance project.

This comes just days after the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered a temporary freeze on four bank accounts linked to Kyari over allegations of fraud.

According to Daily Trust, EFCC sources revealed that the probe into NNPCL operations under Kyari has entered an advanced stage. Detectives have already interrogated some of his close associates, focusing on how funds meant for reviving Nigeria’s ailing refineries were handled.

One senior official explained that investigations have gone “very far,” adding that Kyari’s movements are being closely monitored.

“Territorial boundaries mean nothing in cases like this. If we need him, we will get him. He’s already on our watchlist,” the source said.

Another insider stressed that the commission’s silence about Kyari until now was deliberate:

“We’re being discreet so we can gather all the critical information we need. There are several officials involved, so we don’t want to jeopardize the process.”

It will be recalled that President Bola Tinubu, back in April, sacked both Kyari and the then NNPCL board chairman, Pius Akinyelure. Bashir Ojulari has since been appointed as the new Group CEO, effective April 2, 2025.

The EFCC’s probe is expected to shed light on how billions of dollars allocated to fix Nigeria’s refineries were managed or possibly mismanaged—during Kyari’s tenure.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared a businessman and son-in-law of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Abdullahi Bashir Haske, wanted over an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.

“The public is hereby notified that ABDULLAHI BASHIR HASKE, whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of Criminal Conspiracy and Money Laundering.”

Haske, 38, whose photograph was released by the anti-graft agency, was last known to reside at No. 6 Mosley Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, and 952/953 Idejo Street, Victoria Island, Lagos State.

The EFCC appealed to Nigerians to assist in tracking him down by providing credible information through its offices in major cities, including Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt, and Abuja.

They noted that useful information about his thereabouts could be shared via the commission’s telephone line, or email address.
