Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi

The Lagos State Police Command has launched an investigation into the mysterious death of a couple and their three children in the Apapa area of Lagos State.

The five decomposing bodies were discovered by policemen attached to the Apapa Police Station after they broke down the door to the apartment of the couple.

The deceased father, who was head of the family, has been identified as Lawrence Olorungbon by his Secretary, Treasure Njoku.

According to investigators, there were no marks on the bodies of the victims, thus the police are thinking of ruling out foul play.

It was also gathered that Njoku decided to go to Olorungbon’s house to check on him after he failed to come to the office and did not pick up his calls.

When she got to his home, she discovered that all the doors to enter the apartment were locked, but a disturbing stench was emitting from the apartment.

She decided to report to the police.

According to a Police Situation Report, on May 26, 2022, at 6:30pm. Njoku, residing at Queens Barrack, Apapa, reported at the police station that on the same day, she had been calling her boss, Olorungbon, but he did not pick up his calls.

Worried, Njoku decided to go to his home, which is located at 17, Kofo Abayomi Road, Apapa.

The SITREP further stated: “On arrival, she met all the entrances to the apartment under lock and key, in which the environment is saturated with an offensive odour. It was based on the report that a team of detectives visited the scene, and the door was forced open. The decomposed corpses of Lawrence Olorungbon, his wife, and three children were found. On closer observation, no mark of violence was seen on the bodies. The corpses were evacuated and deposited at Mainland General Hospital Morgue, Yaba for autopsy. Meanwhile, an investigation is in progress.”

2 top bandit kingpins, 12 others killed in supremacy battle

Two prominent bandit kingpins, Kachala Gwande and Kachallah Madagwal  as well as 12 other  fighters have been killed  after a confrontation erupted at Kaurar Zomo village in the Kunchin Kalgo district of Tsafe local government area of Zamfara State.

The deadly fight involved three rival bandit groups operating in the area.

Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in Lake Chad, that Alhaji Tsauni’s group, Kachallah Jafaru’s group, and Kachallah Gwandu’s group, clashed in a fierce gun battle, on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, at approximately 15:45 hours, resulting in the reported deaths of over 10 bandits from the three factions.

Jafaru, a notorious bandit kingpin known to operate from Faskari LGA in Katsina state, descended upon Kaurar Zomo village, which serves as Tsauni’s stronghold, under undisclosed circumstances that led to the violent confrontation.

Jafaru’s  fighters were said to have overpowered and naturalised Gwande and his fighters.

The fight, however, escalated to other enclaves shortly after the news of Gwande’s death broke, resulting in another heavy gun battle with Kachallah Madagwal’s group, who was neutralised in the aftermath of the shootout.

Zagazola understands that several bandits who sustained severe gunshot wounds were promptly evacuated to Munhaye Health Facility for urgent medical attention.

Troops rescue another Chibok girl with three children in Borno

Lydia Simon, another abducted Chibok schoolgirl, was rescued by troops from Operation Desert Sanity III, part of the North-East Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), on Wednesday.

She was rescued along with her three children by the troops of the 82 Division Task Force Battalion in Gwoza LGA of Borno State on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, exactly ten years after she was kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists alongside over 200 schoolgirls from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, on April 14, 2014.

Intelligence sources, according to Zagazola Makama, a Counter Insurgency Expert and Security Analyst in the Lake Chad region, revealed that Lydia, who was tagged serial number 68 among the abducted schoolgirls, escaped from the camp of Ali Ngulde in Mandara Mountain where she was held in captivity for several years.

She surrendered to troops of 82 Division Task Force Battalion at Ngoshe in Gwoza LGA of the State. The rescued Chibok girl was five months pregnant and claimed she was from Pemi Town in Chibok LGA.

April 14, 2024, marks the 10th anniversary of the violent abduction of 276 girls from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, by Boko Haram insurgents.

While 57 of the girls escaped from their captors in the following days, 16 were later rescued and 107 had at different times been released through negotiations.

The Federal and Borno State Governments, including the Nigerian Army, have pledged their commitment toward rescuing the rest of the abducted schoolgirls that were still held in captivity by the terrorists.
