A young man, simply identified as a suspected ‘Yahoo boy’ (Internet fraudster) was nabbed in Agwan Sarki Orozo, a community near Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, after the discovery of his girlfriend’s severed head.

Security ops, acting on an intelligence tip-off, raided an uncompleted building in the area, where the gruesome find was made.

The man, whose identity remains withheld, allegedly confessed to the crime, further revealing that the rest of the victim’s body was located at his residence.

The incident has left the Orozo community in shock, with locals expressing disbelief over the horrific crime.

Comrade Abwami Nuhuson Daniel, Secretary of the community, shared the disturbing news on Facebook, recounting his shock at witnessing such a crime in person.

“I thought I only saw things like this in movies, but today it happened right in my community,” he wrote.

The revelation that the young woman’s body parts were still at the suspect’s home has sent ripples through the tight-knit community.

While details remain scarce, the case has raised serious concerns about the dark intersection of ritual killings and Internet fraud within the region.

Finally, Governor Seyi Makinde has presented the staff of the office to the New Alaafin of Oyo, Prince Abimbola Owoade.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has expressed concern over reports that its airstrikes on terrorist hideouts, including areas linked to notorious bandit leader Bello Turji, led to the death of civilians in Zamfara State.

Reports had said the airstrike on the Tungar Kara community under the Gidan Goga district of Maradun Local Government Area, Zamfara State, on Saturday evening, mistakenly hit members of the Zamfara Community Protection Guard (ZCPG), local vigilantes and residents, leaving at least 16 people dead.

A lawmaker representing Maradun II Constituency in the Zamfara State House of Assembly, Maharazu Salisu Gado Faru, who confirmed the report had described the airstrike as an accident, stating that it targeted local vigilantes who mobilised to counter the bandits.

Responding to the incident, NAF spokesperson AVM Akinboyewa in a Sunday statement titled, “NAF Conducts Decisive Air Strikes in Zamfara, Investigating Vigilante Casualty Reports.” said its operations were usually conducted with caution for human lives.

While confirming an investigation is underway to ascertain the truth of these claims, Akinboyewa emphasised that no credible evidence supports reports of civilian casualties.

“The Nigerian Air Force, the recent airstrike at Tungar Kara in Zumi Local Government Area of Zamrafa State, dealt a decisive blow to bandits terrorising villages in the area.

“However, while the operation successfully eliminated several bandits and led to the recovery of some kidnap victims, the NAF views with great concern reports of the loss of civilian lives on the course of the operation.

“A responsible and professional custodian of airpower for the security of the nation, the NAF believes in the absolute value of the life of every Nigerian.

“Accordingly, a comprehensive investigation is in progress, to ascertain the veracity of the report, the outcome of which will be duly communicated to inform and reassure the public.

“Please be rest assured that, while our mission in the North West remains to combat banditry and restore peace, the safety and well-being of all Nigerians are of utmost importance.

“We will therefore, work closely with relevant authorities to unravel the facts and take appropriate steps, as part of our unwavering commitment to prevent, minimise and mitigate any harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure in the course of our operations,” the statement said.
