Sometimes, the trouble we spend days trying to escape begins with a decision we made in a moment of excitement. Life teaches us lessons every day, but perhaps the wisest are those we learn from the mistakes and misfortunes of others before we are forced to learn them ourselves. A few years ago, Felix, a married businessman, was introduced to a beautiful young lady, Ada, by a businessman colleague at a nightclub in Ikeja. What began as a casual introduction soon developed into a relationship in which Felix became increasingly generous. Within weeks, he had bought Ada the latest iPhone…
There is a dimension of policing that rarely makes the headlines. It is the human side of the profession, the side that begins after the gunfire has stopped, after an officer has been laid to rest, and after the uniform of a man or woman who once left home every day in service to the nation is left hanging in a family house. It is the side that asks a deeply painful question: What happens to the family of a police officer who gave everything in the service of Nigeria? Under the leadership of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji…
Iku t’o fe pa ’ni, t’o ba si ni fila, ka maa dupe. (The death that wants to kill one, if it removes one’s cap, one must give thanks to God.) It was a Friday in Lagos. Danlandi, a fun lover, wanted to entertain two friends who were visiting him from outside the city. So, he took them to one of the popular red-light districts in Lagos. They were looking for a lady to join them for a threesome. There, they met a young lady, Adeola. But the deal was not properly negotiated. Danlandi and his friends drove Adeola to…
For many residents, the true measure of government is not found in speeches or official documents. It is seen in the road that no longer floods, the classroom that becomes more conducive to learning, the health worker who reaches a community, the young person who finds an opportunity, and the elderly resident who receives help when it matters most. That is the story Ikeja Local Government Chairman, Comrade Akeem Olalekan Dauda (AKOD), sought to tell as his administration marked its first year in office. At a ceremony held at the council secretariat, residents, artisans, community leaders, market women, business owners,…
Ibrahim Mbaye was a student of the University of Jos. According to reports, an allegation of phone theft turned his life into a nightmare. He was reportedly beaten by fellow students after being accused of stealing an iPhone. The phone was never found in his possession. Yet, before the truth could be established, the punishment had already begun. Mbaye, 25, was eventually taken unconscious to the Jos University Teaching Hospital, where he was confirmed dead. Three suspects have since been arrested in connection with the alleged killing, while the police say efforts are ongoing to apprehend others. Mbaye’s fate was…
The strength of any institution lies not only in its leadership but also in the quality of the people entrusted with its future. For the Nigeria Police Force, recruitment is more than an administrative exercise; it is the foundation upon which professionalism, discipline, public confidence and effective policing are built. Since assuming office as the 26th Indigenous Inspector-General of Police, IGP Tunji Rilwan Disu has demonstrated a deliberate commitment to repositioning the Nigeria Police Force through strategic reforms that address not only today’s security challenges but also the future of policing in Nigeria. Widely acknowledged as both a strategic thinker…
As Nigeria prepares for the August 15, 2026, Osun State Governorship Election, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, is taking the fight against electoral violence beyond conventional policing. From increased deployment and intelligence gathering to community engagement and youth mobilisation, the IGP’s strategy reflects a deliberate understanding that securing an election is not only about putting more police officers on the streets. It is also about preventing violence before it begins. On August 8, 2026, that philosophy took a highly visible form in Osun State as the Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Vices (POCACOV), in partnership with…
On Friday, August 7, 2026, Lagos stood still as royalty, faith, culture and elegance converged in a magnificent celebration marking the union of Adedeji Adenugba and her beloved, Sharon Adekanye, in a wedding ceremony that will long be remembered for its grandeur, spiritual significance and breathtaking splendour. The historic occasion united two distinguished families: the royal household of His Royal Majesty, Oba AbulRazaq Adesina Adenugba, the Ebumawe of Ago-Iwoye, and the family of Elder Olabode Adekanye, a respected elder of the Citadel Global Community Church (CGGC), and his wife, Mrs Joy Adekanye. The wedding festivities commenced with a deeply moving…
Since assuming office as the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Olatunji Rilwan Disu has pursued an ambitious agenda aimed at repositioning the Nigeria Police Force as a more accountable, professional, and community-oriented institution. Appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the police chief has distinguished himself through a leadership style that combines operational decisiveness with institutional reform, earning commendation from within the Force and among sections of the public. At the heart of his vision is a policing philosophy that places citizens at the centre of security. Rather than viewing law enforcement solely through the lens of authority, IGP Disu has consistently…
For many Nigerians, the phrase “Police is your friend” often evokes mixed reactions. Some hear it with skepticism, shaped by unpleasant experiences or stories they have heard over the years. Others, however, who have encountered compassionate, professional, and service-oriented police officers, know that the slogan is more than just words, it reflects what policing is meant to be. The truth is that policing is changing. Modern policing is no longer defined solely by arrests, patrols, and responding after crimes have occurred. Across the world, law enforcement agencies are increasingly embracing prevention, partnership, and public engagement as the most effective way…
