Shehu Kotonkoro, the owner of the vehicle confirmed the incident, expressing his concern about the lack of security in the area. He noted that the attack happened just 5 kilometres from Kotonkoro.

In addition to the killings, two rice farmers harvesting on their farm about two kilometres from the town were abducted by the bandits.

The bandits also attacked another vehicle carrying bread during the assault.

The Chairman of Mariga Local Government, Abbas Musa Kasuwa-Garba, confirmed the attack on Monday and sympathised with the victims’ families.

He highlighted the persistent insecurity in the area due to the proximity to Zamfara, Kebbi, and Kaduna states, where bandits frequently strike before retreating to their camps.

The bandits also demanded ransom, motorcycles, food and mobile phones in exchange for some victims kidnapped earlier in communities in the LGA.

50 Cent Finally Speaks On S3x Trafficking, R3pe Allegations Against Diddy

Recall that Diddy who is currently facing multiple s3xual assault and r3pe charges was arrested in a Manhattan hotel by the federal agents, following a grand jury indictment.

 
American rapper 50 Cent has finally spoken about the s3x trafficking and r3pe allegations against his embattled colleague Sean Diddy.
 
The legendary rapper reacted after a second batch of s3xual assault lawsuits were filed against Diddy including allegation that he r3ped a 13-year-old girl.
Recall that Diddy who is currently facing multiple sexual assault and r3pe charges was arrested in a Manhattan hotel by the federal agents, following a grand jury indictment.
 
However, in an exclusive interview with People, 50 Cent said: “Look, it seems like I’m doing some extremely outrageous things, but I have not. It’s really me just saying what I have been saying for 10 years.

“Now it’s becoming more full-facing in the news with Diddy’s stuff, but away from that. I’m like, Yo, it is just my perspective because I stayed away from that stuff the entire time, because it is not my style.”
 
Recall that the duo’s feud started since their first meeting in the 1990s, after 50 Cent failed to consider Diddy as a friend.
 
In 2006, 50 Cent released his diss track, ‘The Bomb’, where he accused Diddy of being involved in the 1997 murder of fellow artist Biggie Smalls.

A radio presenter, Chinonso Ubah, popularly known as Nonsonkwa, has been arrested by the Imo State Police Command over allegations bordering on cyberstalking, character defamation and inflammatory statements.

Confirming the arrest, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Henry Okoye informed that the presenter was arrested by the Operatives of the Command on October 20, 2024, following a written petition from a concerned citizen regarding viral videos, where the presenter allegedly engaged in Character defamation, spreading misinformation and inflammatory statements against him.


The citizen also alleged that Uba’s statement led to the burning of the National Open University, NOUN, Study Center in Nsu, Ehime Mbano LGA, on September 30, 2024, which the command claimed ignited civil unrest.

Okoye pointed out that the presenter was not abducted as was initially alleged but was arrested, informing that Uba is currently detained at State Headquarters of the command and will be arraigned in court with appropriate charges once a comprehensive investigation is completed.

“The Command remains committed to upholding the rule of law and maintaining peace and order in the state, emphasizing that no individual involved in the tragic attack and burning of the NOUN study centre will escape full legal consequences

Reacting to the development, a media practitioner, Chidi Nkwopara said arresting the presenter for informing the public based on information obtained from a popular TV station without also arresting the originator of the news amounts to selective justice.

An activist, also a Journalist, Chidiebube Okeoma claimed that the manner of the presenter’s arrest was not in line with the rule of law and fair hearing, accusing the command of delay in disclosing the arrest on time which he said led to the speculation that he was abducted.

He urged the police to respect the constitutional rights of the presenter by ensuring that he is not held in custody longer than is required by law.
