18-year-old steals Niger ex-perm – The Niger State Police…
The Niger State Police Command has arrested an 18-year-old suspect in connection with the murder of Adamu Jagaba, a former permanent secretary in the Ministry of Environment. The suspect, identified as Fatiyah Abdulhakeem, was detained on Sunday, December 8, 2024, after he was found in possession of the stolen vehicle.
According to Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Wasiu Abiodun, Abdulhakeem, a car painter, confessed to killing Jagaba after visiting him at his block industry in Minna. The suspect revealed that he was working in collaboration with some of Jagaba’s employees, who provided him with information about the victim’s movements.
Abiodun explained that after Jagaba invited Abdulhakeem to inspect his car, the suspect attacked him. “Abdulhakeem stabbed Jagaba multiple times in the head and neck, and also struck him with a stapler in his office. He then stole the victim’s Toyota Camry,” Abiodun said. “Further investigations revealed that Abdulhakeem had conspired with other workers of the deceased to carry out the crime.”
The police were able to track the stolen vehicle after issuing an alert to all security checkpoints in the state. The suspect was apprehended at around 7:00 p.m. along Bosso Estate Road in Minna. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend other accomplices.
Jagaba, who had recently retired from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, also ran a block-molding business. On the morning of the attack, he had invited Abdulhakeem to his block industry to discuss repairs to his car. A witness, Nuhu Abubakar, described how there was no confrontation between the two before the attack.
“There was no argument. The panel beater simply entered the car and drove away while Jagaba was left bleeding on the ground,” Abubakar said. Earlier, the police had confirmed that Jagaba was attacked at around 11:30 a.m. on December 7, 2024. He was rushed to the hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari was laid to rest on Tuesday, July 15, at his residence in Daura, Katsina State, drawing an emotional close to a chapter in Nigeria’s political history.
The late President’s body arrived in Nigeria from the United Kingdom earlier in the day and was received with full state honours at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Airport, Katsina.
President Bola Tinubu, who flew in from Abuja, arrived at 1:42 p.m. and was on hand to personally receive the remains of his predecessor.
A guard of honour was mounted for the Commander-in-Chief, shortly before the Nigerian Air Force plane transporting Buhari’s body touched down at 1:51 p.m.

According to family sources, the body was first taken to Buhari’s Daura residence, where his immediate family and close relatives offered a private farewell.
A few solemn moments were observed before the casket was moved to the community’s central prayer ground for the final rites.
“It was a dignified and peaceful farewell,” a family member told reporters. “We are grateful he returned home and was buried according to his wishes.”
Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s President from 2015 to 2023, died in a London hospital on Sunday, 13 July 2025, after a prolonged illness.
His passing triggered tributes from global leaders and Nigerians across political divides.
