Troops dislodge bandits in Taraba, recover arms, motorcycle
Troops of the 6 Brigade Nigerian Army, operating under Sector 3 of Operation Whirl Stroke, OPWS, have dislodged several bandits’ hideouts in Takum and Ussa local government councils of Taraba State.
In a statement made available to journalists on Monday by the Acting Assistant Director, Army Public Relations of the Brigade, Lt. Umar Muhammad, the move, he said it was part of the ongoing Operation Lafiya Nakowa.
According to him, the operation followed credible intelligence on bandits’ activities in Tarhembe, Tornyi, TY Farm, Kando in Takum, and areas in Ussa LGA where farmland had been destroyed.
He said on October 5, troops launched simultaneous clearance operations in the affected areas.
“Team A advanced into Tarhembe and Tornyi, where they made contact with bandits. The troops’ superior firepower forced the criminals to flee into the forest. During exploitation, troops recovered four rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, one AK-47 magazine, and one motorcycle,” the statement said.
“Team B carried out operations within Lissam in Ussa LGA, clearing several suspected bandits’ camps without resistance,” it added.
Brig.-Gen. Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa, Commander of 6 Brigade, commended the troops for their resilience and professionalism.
He urged residents to continue providing timely and credible information to help security agencies restore peace in the state.
He also said the operations had disrupted criminal activities, denied bandits freedom of action, and reassured local communities of the Nigerian Army’s commitment to protecting lives and property.
A young woman allegedly gave birth to a baby boy and k!lled the newborn shortly after delivery in Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State.
The disturbing incident reportedly occurred in the early hours of Sunday, December 14, 2025 behind Government Secondary School, Gboko, throwing the community into pandemonium and mourning.
Residents are calling for immediate police intervention to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and ensure justice is served.
Authorities are yet to issue an official statement as of the time of this report.
TikTok influencer and livestreamer, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has been hospitalised following an incident in which he crashed his newly acquired Mercedes-Benz during an emotional livestream.
The incident occurred on Sunday along the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos during an Instagram live session titled “RIP Peller.”
In the widely circulated video, Peller appeared visibly distressed while driving alone and was seen engaging in what appeared to be a heated phone conversation, reportedly with his girlfriend and fellow content creator, Jarvis, amid reports of a possible breakup.
During the livestream, Peller was seen crying and appearing agitated as he made several troubling remarks, including statements suggesting he might cause an accident and expressions of fear and emotional distress.
He repeatedly voiced concerns about being mocked publicly if the relationship ended and, at one point, stated that he intended to harm himself without putting others at risk.
“I will use this car and have an accident right now,” and later, “I’m scared. I’m scared.
“If you break up with me, people will be mocking me, they will be mocking me, they will be mocking me, they will be, they will be mocking me, they will not… Thank you, I’m going to kill myself.”
Moments later, footage showed him veering off the road and colliding with a barrier, resulting in significant damage to the luxury vehicle.
Bystanders quickly assisted him at the scene, and he was rushed to a hospital.
While reports confirm he was rescued and received medical attention, details on the severity of his injuries remain unconfirmed.
The couple’s relationship has been turbulent, with previous public arguments, allegations, and reconciliations playing out online. Leaked chats suggesting another breakup have fuelled speculation that this latest dispute triggered the incident.
Social media reactions have been mixed as many expressed genuine concern over Peller’s well-being and mental health, while others questioned if the dramatic event was exaggerated or staged for attention, given his history of viral content.
Calls have emerged for authorities, including the Federal Road Safety Corps, to investigate due to the potential risks to public safety.
No official statements have been released by Peller, Jarvis, or relevant authorities. (The Nation)
