Bandits kidnap new couple, Imam, wife, children in Kaduna

Bandits, on Tuesday night, attacked Dan-Honu II community in New Millennium City of Chikun local government area of Kaduna State, kidnapping eight persons.

Among those abducted were a new couple who got married last Saturday, an Imam of the community mosque, his wife and three children, including a 10-month-old baby.

The bandits, who stormed the community around 8:50pm numbering about 10, with AK47 rifles and other dangerous weapons, were said to be clad in black, with one of them masked.

A community member, Mohammed, who escaped the abduction by the whiskers, told our Correspondent that the bandits started by picking the Imam and his family members, who they met outside the community Juma’at Mosque before proceeding to a four-flat compound where they picked the new couple.

According to Mohammed, “I was inside my own apartment when the bandits stormed our compound. At first, when they started banging the new couple’s door, because they went to their apartment straight, I thought they were security people who came to arrest my neighbour.

“They started banging his door and shouting ‘Dan Iska ba za ka fito ba?’, meaning ‘Idiot, won’t you come outside?’ That was when I realised that they were kidnappers. So, when they could not force the door open, they broke his window and and broke the burglary proof.

“On gaining entrance into the apartment, the bandits tried to open the door, they could not open it. So, they brought the couple out through the broken window. They injured the husband and blood was dripping from his body.

“Then, they made an attempt to enter my own apartment too. They had broken the glass window, but as they were busy hitting the burglary proof to break into my apartment, one of the vigilantes in the community fired a shot into the air. Then, on hearing that gunshot, the bandits became uncomfortable and they left our compound,” Mohammed narrated.

Meanwhile, the Imam, Malam Suleiman and his neighbour, Malam Musa, who were picked while they were relaxing with Arabian tea outside the mosque premises, escaped while they were being led out of the community into the bush.

Similarly, the new bride who was said to have gone through a surgery recently was abandoned in the bush by the kidnappers when she could not cope with the pace of their trekking in the bush. While, Imam’s wife was also let go when her baby’s cry almost exposed the bandits to vigilantes around Kakura area.

The bandits eventually succeeded in going away with the new groom identified as Ibrahim and two of the Imam’s children (15-year old Abba and his younger brother) and they were yet to establish contact with the family as at the time of filing this report.

Narrating his ordeal in the hands of the bandits, Imam Suleiman said two of the seven bandits who abducted them, were armed with AK47 rifles with chain of bullets, while others carried axes, machetes and sticks.

He said, “they beat by 10-month-old baby because he was crying. They even threatened to kill him, saying that his cry was disturbing them. But I thank God that my wife and the baby later escaped after I had escaped, but they (bandits) went away with my two older sons.”

It was learnt that soldiers and policemen attached to the Millennium Strike Force and Police Division arrived the scene minutes after the bandits had led the captives into the bush.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of Kaduna State Police Command, ASP Mansir Hassan, was not reachable for comment at the time of filing the report.

Tragedy: “I Suffered With This Man When He Had Nothing” — Woman Who Begged Alleged Rival To Leave Her Family Dies At 39

 

LAGOS, NIGERIA — A heartbreaking tragedy has emerged following the reported death of Patience John Ollor, a 39-year-old mother of four whose emotional appeal to another woman to leave her marriage and family alone had gone viral on social media.

Patience’s death has triggered widespread reactions, with many Nigerians expressing shock and demanding answers about the circumstances surrounding her demise.

The late woman had reportedly made a passionate appeal to another woman, whose identity has not been formally established, pleading with her to stay away from her husband and allow her family to remain together.

In an emotional video that has continued to circulate online, Patience recounted the sacrifices she had made during the early years of her relationship, insisting that she stood by her husband when he had nothing.

“My dear, let me tell you. I started with my husband from nowhere,” she reportedly said.

She further revealed that their relationship began when her husband was in Senior Secondary School One (SS1).

“I started dating him when he was in SS1. I know how I supported my husband in school. I am just telling you, I have prayed o. I know what I am passing through,” she said.

Appearing visibly distressed, Patience went on to recount how she allegedly supported her husband through difficult times and helped him secure his present employment.

“I have suffered with this man when he was nothing. Even the work that he is doing, I was the one that found it for him.

“I am telling you, you are a woman like me. Leave my family alone. God in heaven is hearing me,” she pleaded.

Her emotional words, which appeared to reflect the pain and frustration she was experiencing over her marriage, have become particularly poignant following reports of her death.

Death At 39 Sparks Public Outrage And Questions

The public was reportedly shocked when photographs of Patience’s obituary began circulating online, revealing that the mother of four had died at just 39.

Her death has since generated intense discussions, with social media users questioning the circumstances surrounding her final days.

Providing what he described as some clues about events preceding her death, a social media user identified as Chi Boniface Wodi, in a September 27, 2026 post addressed to a man identified as John Ollor, believed to be the deceased’s husband, demanded an explanation.

“Mr John, come tell the entire public what happened to your wife, Patience John,” the user reportedly wrote.

According to the account shared by Wodi, Patience spoke with members of her family on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at approximately 10am, complaining that she was unwell.

She allegedly mentioned experiencing a headache and stomach discomfort, adding that food she had eaten did not appear to be digesting properly.

The account further claimed that Patience expressed her desire to visit a hospital and was subsequently taken there by her husband.

At approximately 9pm that same day, she reportedly spoke with her family again, informing them that she was still at the hospital but expected to be discharged soon.

However, the following morning, family members allegedly encountered difficulties reaching her.

According to Wodi’s account, when Patience’s sister called to check on her, she was reportedly asked to come to the hospital.

Raising questions about the events surrounding her final hours, the social media user asked what happened after the 9pm telephone conversation.

“Did she leave the hospital? What occurred between that call and the following morning?” he queried.

The account has fuelled further speculation online, although the claims have not been independently verified. No confirmed medical report establishing the cause of Patience’s death has been made public in the information available.

Emotional Funeral Message Deepens Controversy

The controversy surrounding Patience’s death took another dimension after a social media user identified as Grace Wapu reportedly shared a strongly worded funeral invitation.

The message announced her burial for Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the Ollor’s Compound, Njuru Ogoloma, Onne, with Ogoloma Town Hall given as the nearest landmark.

However, what attracted particular attention was the angry language accompanying the funeral announcement.

The writer expressed an unwillingness to simply wish the deceased eternal rest, instead making disturbing statements and invoking curses against those she believed were involved in Patience’s death.

The message has further intensified online reactions, although its allegations do not establish that anyone was responsible for the woman’s demise.

A Marriage Story That Ended In Tragedy

Patience’s story has generated painful conversations about marital loyalty, the sacrifices spouses make during difficult times, alleged interference in marriages and the need to protect family relationships.

For many who watched her emotional appeal, the most heartbreaking aspect is that a woman who publicly pleaded for her family to be left alone is now reportedly gone, leaving behind four children.

Her statement about standing by her husband when he had nothing has also taken on a different meaning following the news of her death.

Meanwhile, questions raised by social media users about her hospital visit and final hours remain unanswered in the available reports.

It is important to stress that the circumstances of her death have not been conclusively established, and the allegations circulating online should not be treated as proof of wrongdoing by any individual.

The tragedy has left many Nigerians seeking answers, while calls for credible clarification about what happened to Patience John Ollor continue to grow.

Newstrends.ng will continue to monitor developments and report further verified information as it emerges.

Zamfara Attack: Bandits Kill Governor Dauda Lawal’s Aide While Observing Fajr Prayer

 

KAURA NAMODA, Zamfara State — Armed bandits have reportedly killed Nasiru Sani Kaura, a Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, during an early morning attack on Kaura Namoda town.

 

The incident, which occurred around the Lowcost Mosque area of the town, reportedly happened while residents were preparing for the Subhi (Fajr) prayer.

 

According to local sources, the attackers, who were heavily armed, stormed the community in the early hours of the morning, throwing residents into panic.

 

Kaura, who also reportedly held a position within the local community, was said to have been observing the dawn prayer when the assailants struck.

 

Details surrounding the circumstances of his death remain unclear, including whether he was specifically targeted by the attackers or killed during the assault.

 

His killing has triggered concern among residents and political associates, particularly given his position as an aide to Governor Lawal.

 

The attack has also renewed concerns over persistent insecurity in Zamfara State, where armed groups have continued to threaten communities through killings, abductions and raids.

 

The killing comes amid continuing security challenges across Zamfara and other states in Nigeria’s North-West, where armed bandit groups have carried out attacks on rural communities, highways and residential areas.

 

Despite ongoing security operations and government assurances, residents in several communities continue to face threats from armed groups.

 

Governor Dauda Lawal’s administration has repeatedly expressed its determination to tackle insecurity in the state, maintaining that his government would not encourage ransom payments or compromise with criminal groups.

 

However, the reported killing of the governor’s aide has further drawn attention to the security situation and the vulnerability of residents, including community leaders and government officials.

 

The killing of Nasiru Sani Kaura has reportedly thrown parts of Kaura Namoda into mourning, with residents expressing concern over the circumstances surrounding the attack.

 

The incident has also heightened fears among residents, particularly those living around the affected neighbourhood, who are worried about the possibility of further attacks.

 

As of the time of filing this report, security agencies had yet to issue an official statement detailing the incident, the total number of casualties or any arrests connected to the attack.

 

The circumstances surrounding the killing and the identities of those responsible have also not been independently established.

 

Meanwhile, residents and associates of the deceased are mourning his death as calls grow for stronger security measures to protect communities across Zamfara State.

VIDEO: NDLEA Discovers Gun Factory in Kaduna, Arrests 45-Year-Old Owner

KADUNA — Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have uncovered an illegal firearms manufacturing factory in Kaduna State and arrested its alleged owner during an intelligence-led raid.

The operation, which took place in Sabon Garin Kangin area of the state on Monday, November 9, 2026, led to the recovery of locally manufactured firearms and materials used in producing weapons.

The NDLEA disclosed the development on Sunday through its Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, in a security update shared on his X account.

Babafemi identified the arrested factory owner as Sagiru Musa, 45.

According to the agency, operatives discovered the facility during a raid targeting criminal activities in the area.

Items recovered from the suspected gun factory included 17 locally manufactured Dane guns, two pistols, 25 Dane gun barrels and other materials used for firearms production.

The agency said the discovery exposed an illegal weapons manufacturing operation and resulted in the arrest of the person allegedly responsible for running the facility.

In his update, Babafemi stated that the operation uncovered finished firearms alongside materials intended for the production of additional weapons.

He said the discovery further reinforced concerns about the connection between substance abuse, drug trafficking and other forms of criminal activity.

“This reinforces the already established fact that there’s a nexus between substance abuse, drug trafficking and other forms of crime,” Babafemi said.

The Kaduna operation was among several enforcement activities carried out by NDLEA commands across the country.

In another operation along the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway, NDLEA operatives reportedly intercepted a 31-year-old woman, identified as Tabara Dauda, on Friday, November 13, recovering 196 rounds of live AK-47 ammunition and N675,000 in cash.

The agency also reported other drug-related arrests and seizures as part of its nationwide operations.

The arrest of the suspected gun factory owner comes amid continuing security concerns over the circulation of illegal firearms and their potential use by criminal groups.

The NDLEA has yet to provide further details about the suspect’s alleged customers, the duration of the factory’s operation or whether additional arrests are expected.

The suspect is presumed innocent unless proven guilty by a court of law.
