In a determined effort to sustain the fight against kidnapping, armed robbery, and other forms of criminality across the country, operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have further intensified and reinvigorated their strategies, resulting in the successful rescue of numerous victims and the apprehension of several suspects. Over the past week, coordinated operations were conducted in various states, including Lagos and Kwara States, leading to the rescue of 13 individuals who had earlier been kidnapped and held for ransom, and the arrest of several armed robbery suspects.

On the 27th of December 2024, Police operatives attached to the Kwara State Command mobilized and stormed a den of kidnappers in the Idofin-Igbana area of the state, after receiving a distress call of the abduction of 13 persons. The operatives encountered resistance from the kidnappers but successfully overpowered the kidnappers, causing them to flee the scene with various degrees of injuries and leading to the successful rescue of the 13 kidnapped victims.

A thorough search was carried out, resulting in the recovery of one double-barrel rifle, 90 live cartridges, and five model rifles. The suspects are currently in custody for further investigation and possible prosecution. Furthermore, on the same day, at about 12:45 PM, Police operatives of the Lagos State Command arrested 3 suspected armed robbers at GRA Ikeja. A subsequent search led to the recovery of 1 locally made pistol, 4 live cartridges, and 2 cutlasses. These suspects are likewise in custody and will face prosecution upon the conclusion of the investigations.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, has reiterated the Force’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all citizens.

Tell me why a father will tell his 16-year-old son not to give his mother his phone’s password – Elsie Okpocha writes

Elsie Okpocha, ex-wife of popular comedian Basketmouth, has sparked conversations online with a series of social media posts questioning parental rights and boundaries regarding their children’s privacy.

Elsie had written earlier “I need an answer… is a mother not supposed to have access to her 16-year-old’s phone?????” The inquiry appeared to reflect frustration over a lack of transparency.

In a follow-up post, Elsie elaborated on the issue, questioning why a father would instruct their son not to share his phone password with his mother. “Tell me why a father should tell his son of 16yrs!!!!!! 16!!!! not to give his mother his password??????” she wrote.

She added that someone is trying to frustrate ‘her’ efforts because ‘she’s’ happy.

Taliban bans windows overlooking places ‘usually used by women’ to stop women from being seen at home.

Afghanistan’s Taliban supreme leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada, has issued an order that new residential buildings should be constructed without windows looking onto “places usually used by women” and said that existing windows with such views should be blocked to prevent “obscene acts”.

According to a statement released by the Taliban government spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, new buildings should not have windows through which it is possible to see “the courtyard, kitchen, neighbour’s well and other places usually used by women”.

“Seeing women working in kitchens, in courtyards or collecting water from wells can lead to obscene acts,” according to the decree posted by government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid on social media platform X.

Municipal authorities and other relevant departments would have to monitor construction sites to ensure it is not possible to see into neighbours’ homes.

In the event that such windows exist, owners would be encouraged to build a wall or obstruct the view “to avoid nuisances caused to neighbours”, the decree states.

Since the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021, women have been progressively erased from public spaces.

Taliban authorities have banned post-primary education for girls and women, restricted employment and blocked access to parks and other public places.

A recent law even prohibits women from singing or reciting poetry in public under the Taliban government’s ultra-strict application of Islamic law. It also encourages them to “veil” their voices and bodies outside the home.

Some local radio and television stations have also stopped broadcasting female voices.

Heather Barr, the interim deputy director of women’s rights at Human Rights Watch, told The Independent: “People have talked about the Taliban metaphorically erasing women, but increasingly, it is not metaphorical at all.

“They have already ordered that women’s voices shouldn’t be heard in public, and now they are essentially stopping women from even seeing the world.”
