Published

on

The Plateau State Police Command has arrested three suspects in connection with the tragic death of 25-year-old model, Ibrahim Mbaya, who allegedly lost his life after being accused of stealing an iPhone.

According to information gathered, Ibrahim had attended a social gathering on campus on the night before the incident. Since it was already late, he reportedly chose to spend the night at a friend’s residence located in the Ring Road area instead of returning to his apartment in Rayfield.

The following morning, his friend reportedly discovered that an iPhone was missing from the room. Believing that only the two of them had been inside the apartment, the friend allegedly accused Ibrahim of being responsible for the missing device.

Eyewitnesses said Ibrahim initially left the apartment but later returned after receiving a phone call from the same friend, who requested that he come back to explain the disappearance of the phone.

Upon his return, Ibrahim was reportedly confronted by his friend and several other young men. The confrontation allegedly turned violent as the group repeatedly assaulted him with dangerous objects in an attempt to force him to confess to the alleged theft.

The beating reportedly continued for several hours until Ibrahim became unconscious. He was later rushed to the hospital, where a medical doctor on duty confirmed that he was dead on arrival.
Police Arrest Three Suspects

Following the incident, detectives launched an investigation that led to the arrest of three suspects identified as Rinji Daniel Fwanji, Emmanuel Newyear, and Nensemka Fwanji.

Police also disclosed that Emmanuel Newyear was seen in a viral video allegedly striking the deceased with a large wooden plank during the assault.

Confirming the arrests, the Plateau State Police Command released an official statement detailing the circumstances surrounding the case.

“The Plateau State Police Command in its ongoing efforts to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law, has arrested three suspects in connection with the brutal k!lling of a 25 year old man in Jos,” the statement read.

“The incident, which is believed to have resulted from an act of jungle justice over an allegation of theft, reveals the sad reality of jungle justice and the grave consequences of taking the law into one’s own hands.

“On 26th July, 2026, at about 11:20pm, the Command received a report at the Lamingo Police Division through a Good Samaritan from the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), informing the Police that some youths had brought an unconscious man to the hospital under suspicious circumstances.

“Upon receipt of the report, Police operatives immediately mobilized to the hospital, where the victim was identified as one Ibrahim Mbaya, male, aged 25 years, of Rayfield, Jos.

“Unfortunately, he was confirmed d3ad on arrival by the medical doctor on duty. His remains have been deposited at the hospital mortuary for preservation and autopsy.

“Having received this report, our detectives immediately opened an investigation into the matter, and the following suspects were arrested: one Rinji Daniel Fwanji, male, 25 years, Emmanuel Newyear, male, 30 years, and Nensemka Fwanji, male, 22 years.

“Further investigation revealed that one of the suspects, Emmanuel Newyear, was captured in a viral video using a large wooden plank to assault the deceased victim.

“He has also been identified in photographs obtained during the investigation.

“In the course of interviewing the suspects, they revealed that the victim was suspected to have stolen an iPhone 12 and rather than reporting the matter to law enforcement agencies, the suspects took the law into their own hands, attacked the deceased and beat him to a point of unconsciousness.

“The suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Jos, where discreet investigation is ongoing.

“Efforts have also been intensified to apprehend other fleeing suspects connected to the crime.

“Upon conclusion of the investigation, the suspects will be charged to court accordingly.

“The Plateau State Command strongly condemns the resort to jungle justice and reiterates that no individual or group has the legal authority to assault, or k!ll any person suspected of committing an offence.

“He emphasized that Nigeria’s Administration of Criminal Justice System provides lawful procedures for investigating and prosecuting criminal offences, and every suspect is entitled to due process under the law.

“We further urge members of the public to always report cases of theft, assault, or any other criminal activity to the nearest Police Station or other recognized security agencies for appropriate action.

“He warned that resorting to self help and mob action not only undermines the rule of law, but also exposes perpetrators to criminal prosecution.

“Members of the public are encouraged to remain calm, law abiding, and continue to provide credible, timely, and useful information to the Police to aid crime prevention and effective Policing across the State.”


The police said investigations are still ongoing as authorities work to identify and arrest other individuals believed to have participated in the attack.

According to the military, troops of Sector 1 carried out a clearance operation at Dabar Dabo, described as a known terrorist hideout in Kubau Local Government Area, in the early hours of September 9.

The operation reportedly resulted in the arrest of a suspected terrorist kingpin and two alleged members of his syndicate. The suspects have been taken into military custody for further investigation.

Published

At least five people have died and more than 80 others remain missing after a passenger ferry caught fire while sailing off the coast of Palawan in the Philippines.

The incident involved the MV June Aster, which was carrying 117 passengers and 17 crew members when the fire broke out on Wednesday evening, September 9, near the popular tourist destination of Coron.

Footage released by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) showed the ferry engulfed in flames as emergency responders worked to rescue people from the burning vessel.

According to the latest information from the Coast Guard, 43 people have been rescued, while five people have died. More than 80 people remain unaccounted for as search and rescue operations continue.

The five victims were brought ashore and taken to the Barangay Turda Covered Court in Coron before being handed over to local disaster management authorities.

The ferry had departed from Baseco in Manila and was travelling towards Coron when the blaze erupted approximately 1.2 nautical miles from Barangay Marcilla in Coron.

One survivor reportedly told authorities that an explosion was heard from the vessel’s cargo area, where vehicles and motorcycles were being carried. Reports said the fire then spread rapidly across the ferry.

Rescue teams from the Philippine Coast Guard, military, local authorities and other vessels have been involved in the search for those still missing. Bad weather and strong sea conditions have also made the operation more difficult.

The cause of the fire has not yet been established, and authorities said an investigation is underway

I Would Hope That You Would Consider This Young Lady – Lindsay Clancy’s Attorney Kevin Reddington Pleads With Donald Trump to Grant Her a Pardon

Published

on

The attorney representing Lindsay Clancy, Kevin Reddington, has asked President Donald Trump to consider pardoning his client after her murder trial ended in a mistrial following a deadlocked jury.

Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here

Clancy, 36, is facing three murder charges over the January 2023 deaths of her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and infant son Callan — at the family’s home in Duxbury, Massachusetts.

Her trial ended in a mistrial on September 4 after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict following more than a week of deliberations. The case remains unresolved, and prosecutors could decide to pursue another trial.

Speaking during an interview with Good Morning America on Tuesday, Reddington said he is hopeful that the defense and Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz can reach an agreement regarding the case.

Kevin Reddington speaking during Good Morning america

He also made a direct appeal to Trump, saying:

“Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider this young lady and the person she is, what she’s been through, and consider a pardon”

Reddington’s request comes after Trump previously commented on the case when the mistrial was declared. The president said he had been following the trial and described Clancy’s actions as “horrible,” while suggesting that the case could ultimately result in imprisonment or treatment in a mental health facility.

Much of Clancy’s trial focused on whether she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings. Her defense argued that the condition left her unable to understand the wrongfulness of her actions, while prosecutors disputed the defense’s position and argued that she was criminally responsible.

The jury ultimately failed to reach a unanimous verdict, resulting in the mistrial.

Reddington has since indicated that he is willing to negotiate with the district attorney rather than necessarily proceed directly to another trial. He said he hopes both sides can find an agreement that would be acceptable to them.

However, there is an important legal issue surrounding the request for a presidential pardon. Clancy’s charges are under Massachusetts state law, rather than federal law, meaning the U.S. president does not have the normal constitutional authority to pardon her for those state offenses. Reddington nevertheless said he was seeking Trump’s help because of the president’s influence.

The case is expected to return to court, with the next hearing scheduled for September 29 as prosecutors consider their options following the mistrial.

Woman, 38, Dies After Husband Beats Her During Argument Over Cooking and Dance Class

Published

on

A 38-year-old woman, identified as Yamini Krishna Lal Yadav, has died after she was assaulted by her husband during an argument at their home in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India.

Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here

Her husband, 41-year-old Krishna Lal Yadav, was arrested after a post-mortem examination reportedly revealed serious injuries that were not consistent with the family’s initial belief that she had died accidentally.

According to police, the incident happened after Krishna Lal returned home from work and asked Yamini to prepare food for him and their children.

At the time, Yamini was reportedly getting ready to attend a dance class being held within their housing society. The disagreement over the matter escalated, with police alleging that Krishna Lal, who was under the influence of alcohol, assaulted his wife.

Yamini reportedly suffered injuries to her neck and abdomen during the incident.

Afterwards, she complained of severe pain and asked her husband to get painkillers for her. Krishna Lal reportedly went to a nearby medical store, but it was closed, and he returned home without the medication.

Her condition later became worse, with her abdomen reportedly swelling as a result of serious internal injuries.

She was eventually taken to a hospital for treatment but died while receiving medical attention.
Post-mortem changed the course of the investigation

Police initially registered a case of accidental death and sent Yamini’s body for a post-mortem examination.

However, the examination reportedly revealed severe injuries, including a fractured neck bone and extensive damage to her intestines. The findings also raised concerns that she had been strangled and physically assaulted.

Yamini’s brother said the family had initially believed that she had died under tragic circumstances until the post-mortem report revealed what had happened.

Speaking to reporters, he said:

“We were in Mumbai when we received a phone call informing us that my sister had passed away. The post-mortem report revealed that she had been strangled and had suffered injuries to her abdomen. It showed that she had been attacked in the stomach. Based on the findings, the police immediately registered an FIR and arrested my brother-in-law, Krishna Lal Yadav. He was booked under Section 302 for murd£r.”

He also revealed that Yamini had previously told him about arguments with her husband but had asked her family not to intervene.

“There were arguments between them earlier as well, like those that happen between many married couples. My sister would sometimes tell me about the fights. I used to ask her to speak up or let us intervene, but she would say, ‘Please let it be. It is a family matter. If you say something, I will have to face more problems later.’ Because she asked us not to interfere, we did not say anything. We thought these were ordinary marital disputes, but now this has happened.”

Following the post-mortem findings, police questioned Krishna Lal before arresting him and booking him under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code for murder.

Published

Popular Ugandan singer Bruno K has appealed to the public to help locate an American serviceman who has been accused of leaving two children with their mother in Mbarara, Uganda.

The singer launched the appeal after meeting Juliet Mbabazi, who identified the man as Travis Preston and claimed that he was the father of her two children.

According to Mbabazi, she and Preston were married for about two years and had two children together, aged three and seven. She said Preston later returned to the United States and stopped providing support for the family, leaving her to raise the children alone.

Bruno K has since called on Ugandans living in the United States, particularly those with connections to the US military, to assist in locating Preston.

The singer also said he wants the matter investigated so that the children can establish whether they qualify for US citizenship or other assistance through their alleged father’s citizenship.
