By: Naija prime media on April 08, 2026 / comment : 0

 As reported by Vanguard, the Abia State Police Command has dismissed claims circulating online that 488 suspected Boko Haram members were arrested in the state.

The Command was reacting to a viral video on social media alleging that the arrests recently took place in Abia. However, the police described the report as false, misleading, and capable of causing panic and unrest among residents.

According to the police, the video being shared is not recent, noting that it is an old broadcast from over 11 years ago and does not represent the present security situation in Abia State.

The statement further reaffirmed that the Abia State Police Command remains committed to its constitutional responsibility of safeguarding lives and property, while maintaining the relative peace currently enjoyed in the state. Residents were urged to continue their lawful activities without fear.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) also advised members of the public to avoid spreading unverified information and to rely only on credible sources for security updates.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police in Abia State, Danladi Isa, warned against the spread of false reports aimed at causing public panic, stressing that anyone found guilty of such actions would be arrested and prosecuted under Section 59 of the Criminal Code Act and the Cybercrime (Prohibition/Prevention) Act.

Abubakar Malami Alleges Intimidation as Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Moves to Enforce Maitama Property Forfeiture

By: Naija prime media on March 24, 2026 / comment : 0

According to reports by Channels Television, operatives of the anti-graft agency arrived at Malami’s home early Tuesday morning to enforce a court-ordered forfeiture and assume control of the property. The development follows recent actions by security agencies targeting several assets linked to the former minister across the Federal Capital Territory.

During earlier operations, EFCC officials reportedly visited multiple locations, including private residences and office spaces associated with Malami, marking them for seizure. Eyewitness accounts and video footage from those raids captured tense exchanges, with Malami confronting operatives and demanding to see valid court orders and proper authorization. He questioned the legality of the process, insisting that due process must be followed.

Meanwhile, the EFCC has maintained that its actions are lawful and backed by judicial authority. Sources within the Commission stated that the operation is being carried out in compliance with a valid court-issued forfeiture order, in line with Section 5 of the EFCC Act, which empowers the agency to investigate financial crimes and recover assets suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activity.

Speaking on Monday after the initial raid, Malami acknowledged the existence of a court order dated January 6, 2026, authorizing the interim forfeiture of his properties. However, he argued that the order granted him 14 days to respond, which he says he has already done.

He described the conduct of the operatives as intimidating, alleging that heavily armed personnel harassed members of his household under the pretext of serving invitation letters. According to him, multiple properties and business premises linked to him were also targeted on March 23, 2026.

Malami further stated that he has challenged the forfeiture order in court and filed an application seeking to have it set aside. He also alleged that the EFCC’s actions are politically motivated.
