Taraba community accuses police of aiding fraudster
Community leaders from Shagogo in Donga local government council of Taraba State, have accused the state police command of aiding a fraudulent cement dealer who allegedly embezzled N6.14 million meant for a consignment of cement.
According to the leaders, the community had ordered 900 bags of cement on January 14, 2025, at the rate of N8,000 per bag.
The cement, as made known by the community, was intended for church construction projects, however, upon the truck’s arrival in Donga, the driver refused to hand over the consignment, claiming that the payment had been made to the wrong dealer.
The community reported the matter to the police area command, leading to the interception and detention of the truck.
Additionally, the leaders obtained a court order from Area 1 Court in Donga to prevent the release of the vehicle and its cargo until the case was resolved.
Speaking to journalists in Jalingo on Sunday, the kindred head of Shagogo, Zaki Terngu Agere, alleged that despite the legal measures taken, the police unilaterally released the truck and the cement without consulting the complainants.
“The transaction was conducted with a known cement marketer in Gboko, Benue State but upon the truck’s arrival in Donga, the dealer who received N6.14 million via bank transfer switched off all his phone lines. The issue has been causing unrest in the community since January.” Agere said.
He expressed shock over the police’s decision to release the truck despite the ongoing investigation and a court order pasted on the vehicle restraining its movement.
Agere called on the Inspector General of Police, IGP, and other security agencies to help recover either the cement or the community’s money, stressing that the funds were painstakingly gathered through the efforts of community members.
When reached, the state police spokesperson, Usman Abdullahi, said the matter had been reported to the police.
“The matter was reported to the state police command and later transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for proper investigation.
The CID obtained an order to release the vehicle to its owner, but we assure the community that we will track down the suspect behind the fraud,” Usman stated.

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).”
