How Gunmen Storm Akure Clinic, Abduct Three Health Workers
Akure, Ondo State – In a brazen late-night raid, armed men abducted three health workers from a Primary Health Clinic in Ijebu, a suburb of Akure, the Ondo State capital.
The security guard on duty, Olawale Yaya, told TVC News that the attackers executed the operation with alarming precision. According to him, the assailants arrived in a high-end SUV, which he identified as either a Toyota Venza or a Lexus. The vehicle was parked outside the clinic before the abduction.
“They took three staff members. The gunmen parked on the road. They came with an expensive jeep. It looks like a Toyota Venza or Lexus SUV. It’s not a small sedan car. It’s an SUV. It’s not a bus. It’s a high-end SUV. The gunmen even pressed a button to open the boot. After opening it, they forced the three people inside and drove off,” Yaya recounted.
The attackers specifically targeted staff members who were on duty, assaulting them before forcing them into the boot of their vehicle. The guard described the assailants’ familiarity with the vehicle as “disturbing,” noting how they effortlessly operated the automatic boot before making their escape.
Security agencies in the state have been alerted, and investigations are ongoing to locate the kidnapped health workers and apprehend the perpetrators.

A 33-year-old suya seller, Abubakar Isiaka, has made a passionate appeal to security agencies and members of the public to assist in locating his three-year-old daughter, who was abducted in Delta State.
The child, identified as Sheripha, aged three years and eight months, was reportedly taken on March 7, 2026, during a burial ceremony in Ogwashi-Uku.

Isiaka explained that all efforts to locate his daughter since the incident have been unsuccessful, leaving the family in deep distress. He noted that the sudden disappearance of the child has thrown the entire household into emotional turmoil.
“We have searched everywhere and asked around, but there has been no trace of her,” he said, pleading for urgent intervention from security operatives.

Members of the public with credible information have been encouraged to assist law enforcement agencies in ensuring the safe return of the young girl.

Nigerian Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Michael Oli, Dies Suddenly in US
A Nigerian Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Michael Oli, has died suddenly in the United States, sparking grief among the Catholic faithful in both Nigeria and abroad.
Fr. Oli reportedly slumped and passed away while taking a walk on Thursday, March 26, 2026. His death was confirmed in an official statement released on Friday, March 27, by the Catholic Diocese of Awka.
The statement, signed by the diocesan Chancellor, Rev. Fr. Charles Ndubisi, disclosed that the late cleric was serving as the Administrator of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Faith, South Dakota, at the time of his passing.
“He was ordained on August 23, 2008. Funeral arrangements will be announced soon. May the soul of Rev. Fr. Michael Oli rest in peace, Amen,” the statement read.
Further confirmation came from Scott Bullock, Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rapid City, who described the priest’s death as sudden and deeply saddening.
In a message to clergy and faithful, Bishop Bullock stated that Fr. Oli died on the morning of March 26 and was serving as pastor of St. Joseph in Faith, St. Joseph in Mud Butte, and St. Anthony in Red Owl, all in western South Dakota.
The bishop revealed that local authorities have commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the priest’s death. According to him, the Deputy Sheriff of Meade County has ordered an autopsy to determine the exact cause.
“At this point, we do not know the cause of death, only that he had not been feeling well,” Bishop Bullock said.
He urged priests within the diocese to offer three Masses for the repose of Fr. Oli’s soul, in line with Catholic tradition.
The late priest’s sudden death has drawn condolences from parishioners, clergy, and members of the Catholic community, who have described him as a dedicated servant of God committed to pastoral service both in Nigeria and the United States.
Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced by the church authorities in due course.

ADC Chairman’s Daughter Joins Pro-Tinubu Campaign Organisation
ADC Chairman’s Daughter Joins Pro-Tinubu Campaign Organisation
Blessing Onuh, a member of the House of Representatives representing Otukpo/Ohimini Federal Constituency of Benue State, has been appointed as the National Woman Leader of the Take Action Campaign Organisation, a pro-re-election group supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Onuh is the daughter of former Senate President, David Mark, who currently serves as the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Her appointment was formally announced in Abuja by the Director General of the campaign organisation, Tony Nwulu, during a brief ceremony at the group’s national office.
Speaking after receiving her appointment letter, Onuh expressed appreciation for the confidence reposed in her and pledged to mobilise women across the country in support of President Tinubu’s re-election bid.
“I am committed to working tirelessly with other stakeholders to ensure victory for President Tinubu in the forthcoming election,” she said, while also aligning herself with the administration’s “Renewed Hope Agenda,” which focuses on economic reforms, infrastructure development, and social welfare programmes.
The Take Action Campaign Organisation is one of several political support groups advocating for Tinubu’s second term, with a mandate to highlight the administration’s achievements and galvanise grassroots support nationwide.
Onuh’s acceptance of the role has, however, drawn attention due to her family’s political background. Her father, David Mark, is a prominent figure within the ADC, a party considered part of Nigeria’s opposition bloc. Recent developments within the party have seen internal debates over leadership direction and political alignment ahead of future elections.
Political analysts say her involvement in a pro-Tinubu campaign group may further intensify scrutiny on David Mark’s leadership position within the ADC, especially at a time when opposition parties are working to consolidate their ranks.
Despite the emerging political undertones, Onuh maintained that her focus remains on national development and supporting policies she believes will benefit Nigerians.
The coming months are expected to reveal how her new role may shape both intra-party dynamics within the ADC and broader political alignments ahead of the next general election cycle.
