The Headquarters of the 81 Division, Nigerian Army, has provided preliminary clarification on the tragic incident circulating in a viral video, involving the death of a soldier in the Ikorodu general area of Lagos State. Although a full investigation is ongoing, the Division deemed it necessary to outline the initial findings surrounding the unfortunate event.
According to early reports, the incident occurred on 16 November 2025 at approximately 4:00 pm. A soldier deployed for internal security operations in the Imota axis of Ikorodu attempted to calm a chaotic situation that was rapidly escalating. While carrying out his duty to restore order, he was unexpectedly assaulted by a mentally unstable individual who struck him on the head with a heavy log. The impact caused severe injuries.
Other soldiers at the scene immediately intervened, neutralizing the attacker and recovering the soldier’s rifle to prevent further escalation. The wounded soldier was promptly transported to the Ikorodu General Hospital, but despite urgent medical attention, he was pronounced dead. In accordance with Islamic burial rites, he was laid to rest with the Acting Commanding Officer and several officers of his unit present to honor his service.
The 81 Division has since expressed deep condolences to the soldier’s family, colleagues, and all who mourn his passing. The Army acknowledged his dedication, bravery, and sacrifice in the service of national security, praying for the peaceful repose of his soul.
In response to the tragic event, the Division has launched a formal investigation to unravel every detail surrounding the attack. Members of the public are encouraged to remain vigilant, report suspicious activities, and avoid spreading unverified information. The Army also appealed for responsible media coverage to allow the investigative process to proceed without disruption.
The preliminary statement was issued by Lieutenant Colonel Musa Yahaya, Acting Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, 81 Division Nigerian Army.

Kidnappers Took Loan With My Phone – Victim Recounts Ordeal
A woman has shared a disturbing account of her abduction in Abuja, detailing how kidnappers allegedly exploited her personal information during captivity.
According to her, she was kidnapped while going home in a bus and kept blindfolded for two days as her captors demanded a ransom of ₦5 million from her family and friends.
She further alleged that while she was still in captivity, the abductors accessed her phone and used it to download a loan application.
With her ATM card and identification documents in her possession at the time, they reportedly secured a loan of ₦148,000 without her knowledge.
The victim said she remained unaware of the transaction throughout her ordeal, as she was blindfolded and focused on pleading for her life.
She revealed that when she later found out and wrote to the loan app, they insisted she must pay off the loan.
“I was kidnapped in a bus in Abuja. They blindfolded my eyes for two days. Even after asking for ransom of 5 million from my family and friends, they took a loan. They downloaded a loan app on my phone, and I always carry my ATM card and my ID cards in my bag, so they used it to up the loan app and took a loan of 148 thousand Naira. I didn’t even know about the loan all the time I was there cause I was blindfolded and just begging for my life….” she partly said.

Man Ends His Marriage After Finding Photographs Of His Wife With Another Man While Browsing Google Maps
A husband was left shocked and reportedly had to end his marriage after discovering photos of his wife with another man while using Google Maps.
The man was using Google Maps to plan a route before setting off on a journey when he noticed an image of his wife sitting on a bench, stroking the hair of another man whose head rested in her lap.
Captured by a Google camera vehicle in Lima, the Peruvian capital, the stunned husband said the photograph grabbed his attention because the woman pictured seemed to be wearing identical clothing to pieces his wife owned.
Although the photo dated back to 2013, the furious husband challenged his wife with proof of her previous betrayal.

The pair, whose identities remain anonymous, subsequently divorced after the woman confessed to having an affair.
In a twist of fate, she was photographed with her lover on a bench near the city’s Puente de los Suspiros de Barranco (Bridge of Sighs of the Ravine).
The husband recently posted the photographs on Facebook where they sparked considerable reaction amongst users.
One social media commenter, San Pateste, said: “What a small world it is… It would have been enough if she said to her husband that she did not love him any more.”
Guillermo Sanchez added: “Out of 100 women, 90 per cent are not loyal, the rest are loyal and only have one eye (hahaha) or are immortal (hahaha).”
