The Police Command in Edo says it has arrested five suspects in connection with two different killings in the state. This is contained in a statement released on Wednesday, February 25, in Benin, by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in charge of the command, CSP Moses Yamu. Yamu said that the killings include an alleged gruesome murder of a 7-year-old boy and the assassination of a local vigilante commander. He said that one Mr John Okojabhole, a resident of Jehovah Witness Road, off Elebesunu Street in Irrua, reported the murder of his son, Evans Okojabhole, on Feb. 22. According to Yamu, the boy, who had been declared missing 24 hours earlier, was later found de@d with his stomach ripped open, his ankles severed, and some fingers cut off. His mutilated body was dumped in a bush near their home. Following preliminary investigations, two suspects were arrested in connection with the crime. The police transferred the suspects to the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID) in Benin for further investigation. The PPRO said that in another incident, the command was investigating the killing of one Victor Ogedengbe, 50, the Vigilante Commander of Erah Camp in Owan East Local Government Area of the state. Ogedengbe was reportedly attacked and killed on his farm on Feb. 25 by suspected herdsmen.

Seyi Tinubu: NANS accuses Atiku of political interference, threatens protest

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and the National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) have accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of coordinating political interference in student leadership.
According to Olushola Oladoja-led NANS, in a statement signed by its National Public Relations Officer, Samson Adeyemi, Ariku and activist-cum-politician, Omoyele Sowore, are sponsoring factionalism within the student body.
“It has come to our attention that certain elements, acting under the influence and sponsorship of former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and Mr Omoyele Sowore, are actively involved in sowing seeds of discord within NANS,” the statement read.
The student bodies threatened to mobilise nationwide protests against the accused politician if such meddling continues.

The development comes on the heels of a recent emergence of a factional NANS President, Atiku Isah, and his allegation of assault and abduction against Seyi, President Bola Tinubu’s son.
Isah claimed that Seyi offered him N100m during a meeting in Lagos to promote Tinubu. He said he declined the offer because he couldn’t endorse a President who had failed to deliver on his campaign promises.
NANS accuses Isah of collecting bribes
But, NANS accused Isah of receiving funds to destabilise the association and falsely claim its presidency.
“We are aware of recent clandestine meetings between Atiku and his cousin, Isah, aimed at infiltrating and destabilising the student movement.”

“Let it be known that NANS is not and will never be an appendage of any political party or personality,” the statement read.
The student union asked the former President to “call his associates to order or risk being declared persona non grata across Nigerian campuses.”
In the same vein, NAPS President, Eshiofune Paul-Oghayan, described Isah’s claims as “fabricated and politically mischievous.”

Paul-Oghayan described Seyi as “a strategic bridge between Nigerian youths and the state,” and not a political manipulator as alleged.
“Seyi Tinubu has not interfered in student leadership nor directed anyone to act on his behalf. This coordinated attempt to malign his character is unacceptable and cannot be allowed to stand,” the NAPC President said in a statement in Kaduna on Friday.
