on

Police operatives in Imo State have arrested a suspected kidnapper and organ harvester during a daring rescue in the Douglas area of the state.

The suspect, 38-year-old Justine Emmanuel from Amimo in Ikeduru Local Government Area, was nabbed during a swift operation that saved a 19-year-old woman, whose name has been withheld to protect her privacy.

In a statement on Saturday, police spokesperson Henry Okoye detailed how officers on patrol became suspicious after spotting a blue and white bus behaving erratically.

Investigating further, they observed a group attempting to abduct the young woman, with the intention of transporting her to an unknown location for organ harvesting.

“During the chase, the victim bravely jumped from the moving bus and was rescued by our operatives. The police pursued the suspects, prompting them to abandon the vehicle. While one suspect was arrested, others escaped into the nearby bush,” said Okoye.

The police have launched a full-scale investigation to track down the remaining members of the syndicate and expose the depth of their operations.

Okoye reassured the public of the police force’s determination to clamp down on violent crimes and urged citizens to report any suspicious behavior immediately.

Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has commended the Ministry of Interior, led by Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, for implementing groundbreaking changes to streamline passport application and collection for Nigerians abroad.

Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Chairman/CEO of NiDCOM, expressed gratitude for these advancements, noting, “Nigerians abroad have long awaited improvements in accessing passport services.

This revolution in the application and collection process is a much-needed change that will ease the burden on our citizens globally.”

Dabiri-Erewa underscored NiDCOM’s dedication to aiding these reforms through widespread advocacy and awareness campaigns.

“Advocacy is at the heart of NiDCOM’s work. We are prepared to collaborate fully with the Ministry of Interior and the Nigeria Immigration Service to ensure that Nigerians in the Diaspora are well informed about these developments and continue to be a bridge between Nigeria and its diaspora,” she said.

Minister of Interior Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo responded by highlighting the Ministry’s commitment to fostering a strong partnership with NiDCOM and the Nigeria Immigration Service.

He proposed a Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalize and strengthen this collaboration.

“Our goal is to ensure effective communication and engagement with Nigerians abroad. We are looking forward to strong collaboration, particularly in advocacy and sensitization, to make these reforms successful,” Tunji-Ojo emphasized.

The new Contactless Biometrics system is designed to make passport renewals more convenient. Benefits include reducing the need for long-distance travel, eliminating accommodation expenses, and cutting down on work absences. This option is specifically available for passport renewals and applicants over 18.

The service launched on November 1 in Canada, with plans to extend to the United States on November 15. By December 1, it will be available worldwide, providing greater accessibility for Nigerians across the globe.

Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has revealed that the courtroom fainting episodes involving six suspects before their arraignment were intentionally staged to gain negative publicity.

Egbetokun emphasized that medical assistance was immediately given, highlighting the police force’s dedication to ensuring the well-being of all individuals in its custody.

On Friday, 76 suspects—many of them minors appearing visibly undernourished—were brought to court in connection with the #EndBadGovernance protest. During the session, six suspects collapsed and had to be carried out for urgent care.

Despite the drama, the court set bail for each minor at N10 million, sparking widespread criticism, both at home and abroad.

In a statement dated November 1 and signed by Force Spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi, the Inspector-General underscored that anyone who has reached the age of criminal responsibility must answer for their actions under Nigerian law, regardless of their age.

Egbetokun stated, “Today, an unexpected incident in court saw six of the suspects suddenly rush out and faint, drawing media attention in a deliberate and scripted manner to attract negative attention.

“Medical aid was promptly provided to these individuals, demonstrating the Police Force’s commitment to the welfare of those in its custody, irrespective of the allegations they face.”
