community in Laren local government area of Kaduna State. The safety of the elderly woman is yet to be ascertained
2:03
as a press time as the Quirre State Police Command of the Nigeria Police Force described the successful terrorist
2:09
act as an attempted bandits attack. According to Sahare reporters news media, eyewitnesses reported that the
2:16
attackers came in suddenly, shooting sporadically and gathered some worshippers, including the pastor, and
2:23

appealing for their safe and immediate release. Punch newspaper on Tuesday reported that at least five persons have
4:16
been killed and several others abducted after suspected bandits launched two separate attacks in Eruku, a boundary
4:22
town with Kogi State in the Akiti local government area of Quir State on Tuesday. In the first incident, the
4:29
attackers stormed a branch of the Christ Apostolic Church, CAC, during a special
4:35
service, shooting sporadically before targeting worshippers. The Punch learned
4:40
that three worshippers were shot dead on the spot, while the pastor and an unspecified number of congregants were
4:46
whisked away into the bush. An eyewitness, who pleaded not to be named,
4:51
said, "The gunman came into the church while people were gathered. They started shooting and three people died
4:57
immediately. They later rounded up some worshippers, including the pastor, and marched them into the bush. The exact
5:05
number of abducted victims remains unclear, but residents said the gunman escaped through bush paths leading to
5:11
neighboring communities in Kogi State. Earlier in the evening, the bandits reportedly launched another violent
5:18
attack along the Allore and Caba Road, forcing travelers and residents to abandon their vehicles and flee into
5:24
nearby bushes. A traveler returning from Nigerate, who recorded a distress voice
5:30
note obtained by the punch, said, "We suddenly ran into them." Everybody
5:35
abandoned the cars and scattered into the bush. They came around 6:30 p.m. and
5:41
started shooting. Two people were killed instantly and we don't even know how many were taken. They're still shooting.
5:48
You can hear it. A community leader, Mr. Benjamin Ayerbe told the Punch that Erau
5:55
has been under perpetual attacks for the last 3 weeks, lamenting that repeated distress calls to authorities have
6:01
yielded no tangible response. We have begged the local and state governments for help, but nothing concrete has come.
6:09
We are living in fear every day, he said. Ay added that despite resistance
6:14
from vigilantes, local hunters, the police, and the eru progressive union,
6:20
the relentless attacks have overwhelmed the community. We need federal help. These attacks are becoming too much for
6:27
us to bear. We are pleading with the president to intervene urgently, he said. Sahare reporters news media also
6:34
reported that the Quir State Police Command has confirmed a terrorist attack in Arku town which occurred around 6:00
6:42
p.m. on Tuesday, November 18th. According to a statement released by the police public relations officer SP
6:49
Adeton Najir Admi, the divisional police officer DPO of Ericu and his team
6:55
working alongside local vigilantes responded swiftly to the sound of gunshots from the outskirts of the town.
7:02
She noted that the combined security effort reportedly forced the asalants to flee into the bush. The statement read,
7:10
"The Quir State Police Command confirms an attempted bandit attack in Eruku, which occurred at about 1,800 hours of
7:17
today, the 18th of November, 2025. The DPO Eruku and his team of police
7:23
operatives in collaboration with vigilantes swiftly responded to the sound of gunshots emanating from the
7:29
outskirts of the town, prompting the Hoodlams to flee into the bush. Upon
7:34
thorough search of the area, one male victim, Mr. Adorei, was discovered fatally shot inside the Christ Apostolic
7:42
Church, Oka Sean. While one Mr. Tundday Asab, another victim of fatal gunshot
7:48
was found in the bush. A vigilante Shean Alaja sustained gunshot injuries and was
7:53
immediately rushed to ECWA hospital Ericu for medical treatment. CP adakimia
8:01
Joe commended the swift response of the police and vigilantes. He also assures the public that security agencies will
8:07
not relent until these hoodlams are totally decimated. Further updates will
8:13
be provided as investigations progress. she added. Meanwhile, barristister opi
8:18
bod in an exsocial media post written as a letter to President Bola Ahmed Tonubu
8:24
stated that I'm writing to bring to your president Bola Ahmed Tanubu. Attention a
8:29
dire situation unfolding in Ericu community located in Quir state.
8:35
Tonight, heavily armed bandits brutally attacked worshippers at the Christ Apostolic Church, resulting in the
8:41
tragic loss of lives and the kidnapping of many innocent worshippers. This heinous act is the latest in a
8:47
series of assaults that have plagued our community for months with Oi, Eru, and
8:53
Egg Bay roads being hotspots for these attacks. It's worth mentioning that the state governor's efforts seem inadequate
9:00
and we desperately need your leadership and support to address this crisis. As the president, you have sworn to protect
9:07
the lives of Nigerian citizens, and we're counting on you to uphold that promise. Eruku shares a boundary with
9:14
Kogi and Akiti states and we urgently need an increased security presence in
9:19
particular the deployment of military personnel and I urge you to take concrete steps to bring an end to these
9:25
attacks. Please, Mr. President, act now to save lives and restore peace in Eru.

Bringing you the news in a more digital way. Armed Forces of Nigeria AFN under
14:54
the command and control of the president and commanderin-chief Bola Ahmed Tonubu
14:59
has kept Mum since early morning night on Monday when a MAG news agency the
15:04
international media outlet of the Islamic State West Africa province ISWAP
15:09
started sending and disseminating a photograph of Brigadier General Muser Uber in ISWAP captivity indicating
15:16
untrue. The brigadier general the Nigerian Army Authority had earlier claimed on Saturday to be safe and led
15:23
his troops back to base. A statement the army issued to challenge media reports that the brigadier general was captured
15:30
and held captive by the ISWAP terrorists after the terrorists ambushed the 25
15:36
task force brigade of the armed forces of Nigeria killing several soldiers and
15:41
civilian JTF members in Wajeroko village near Sambisa forest in Boro state on
15:47
Friday around 5:00 p.m. This humangle news media that was among the earliest
15:53
news providers that reported the I swap deadly attacks on Nigeria soldiers on
15:58
Saturday after being challenged with a denial press release issued by the Nigerian army authority that the
16:04
brigadier general was not kidnapped claiming the brigadier general led his men to the ambush of the terrorists
16:12
forcing the terrorists to flew in disarray. Humangle on Monday early morning published a news report and
16:18
insisted that the brigadier general was in Icewap captivity. According to Humangle, it was already in possession
16:25
of a photograph showing the Brigadier General in Icewap captivity, but due to
16:31
its editorial policy, it would not publish the image. Soon the image of the kidnapped Brigadier General became
16:37
available to some media through a MAG news agency publication that claimed that the Brigadier General was executed
16:44
shortly after being interrogated by the ISWAP terrorists. The Amag only presented a photo evidence of the
16:51
brigadier general being captured, but any material evidence if the brigadier
16:56
general has been killed was not provided following the apparent unfortunate development in the Nigeria army
17:03
community, former vice president of Nigeria Atiku Abuakar on Monday in a
17:08
statement personally signed called on President Bola Ahmed Tanubu to admit incompetence and the president should
17:15
either ask for help or tended a letter of resignation immediately. ly. According to the former Nigeria Vice
17:21
President Atiku Abu Bakr, I am deeply saddened and extremely shocked and disturbed by news making the rounds of
17:28
the killing of Brigadier General Musa Uber by terrorists and the failure of the military hierarchy to clearly
17:35
explain how it happened or what went wrong as initial official denials indicated that this was not the case.
17:42
This for me is unequivocally a failure of political leadership as the president seems only more interested in decimating
17:48
the opposition by all means possible while forgetting his crucial role as commander in chief of our armed forces.
17:56
General Moose's death along with the deaths of some of the troops he was leading is one death too many and a bold
18:02
terrorist resurgence our dear country cannot afford. I urge all citizens and
18:07
our military leaders to take heart as even this season shall pass away. To Mr.
18:13
President, the security of the lives of our people is your primary responsibility and you must live up to
18:19
it or be humble enough to admit incompetence and either ask for help or resign. If I were president, I would
18:26
order the military to occupy Boro State or any state under siege by bandits or armed groups until they clear those
18:33
areas. We must care enough for the men and women who put their lives on the line for our sake. I offer my
18:40
condolences to the Nigerian armed forces, the family of the bereaveved and indeed to all Nigerians.
18:47
May this dark period pass over us as a nation sooner than later. Premium Times
18:53
in later report on Monday evening stated that the brigade commander Muba earlier
18:59
declared safe by the Nigerian army after fighters of the Islamic State West
19:04
Africa province ISWAP ambushed his team along the Dambo Axis
19:10
in Boro state has now been reported dead. The terror group Icewap has
19:15
announced that it captured Mr. Uber and killed him. The group also shared photos
19:20
to prove its criminal act. PR Nigeria, a news platform close to security
19:26
agencies, also confirmed that the general was kidnapped and killed after military authorities thought he was safe
19:32
after surviving the initial ambush. On Sunday, citing a humangle story, Premium
19:39
Times reported that Mr. Uber was kidnapped after I swap terrorists ambushed his team alongside operatives
19:45
of the civilian joint task force CJTF on Friday night. The army however denied
19:52
that he was kidnapped and said he was safe after soldiers successfully repelled the ambush. Icewap claims it
19:59
executed Mr. Uber. In an Arabic statement published in its propaganda newsletter magazine,
20:06
ISwap said it had captured Mr. Uber and executed him after he was interrogated.
20:11
The 2016 breakaway faction of Booh Haram attached a picture collage of Mr. Uber
20:17
showing when he was in office and when he was captured. A picture of the brigade commander from inside his office
20:24
and a picture of him after he was captured by the Islamic State. The group captioned the picture. Islamic State
20:31
fighters overthrew a senior officer in the Nigerian army after a successful ambush on a military force in Borneo,
20:38
the group said, adding that the commander was captured after he fled from the Werako attack. Icewap said as
20:45
soon as it received intel that Mr. Uber had escaped, a unit of fighters set out
20:50
to search for him and succeeded in capturing him on Saturday near a village after he was wounded. The purported
20:58
picture of his capture shows Mr. Uber's camouflage stained with blood around his legs. Icewap said it interrogated Mr.
21:06
Uber before killing him on the spot. The terror group further taunted the Nigerian army, describing its statement
21:13
as an outright lie and a miserable security failure. PR Nigeria reports
21:18
that Mr. Uber earlier confirmed his safety to his superiors after an aerial operation that helped him escape the ice
21:25
swap attack. But the event took a tragic turn. Reports of his location compelled
21:31
the terrorists to track him down, leading to his capture and subsequent summary execution after an
21:36
interrogation. The platform reported Mr. Uber's killings, according to experts,
21:43
marked the first time the insurgents would kill an officer with such a high rank. His killing was blamed on insecure
21:50
military communications within the northeast theater. PR Nigeria reported
21:55
Humeangel in an earliest news report on Monday morning stated that the Nigerian
22:01
army's statement that Brigadier General Muba the brigade commander 25 task force
22:06
brigade successfully led troops back to base after an ambush last Friday
22:11
November 14th in the Dambo area of Boro state northeastern Nigeria has been
22:17
challenged by an exclusive verified image obtained by Humangle. The image
22:22
shows the senior officer alive but held by insurgents, contradicting the military's official account. The ambush
22:30
by ISWAP fighters on a joint military and civilian joint task force CJTF
22:36
convoy on View Road resulted in the deaths of several soldiers and CJTF members with the general's whereabouts
22:43
initially reported as unknown. Humangel's early report cited sources on
22:48
the ground who said the general was abducted during the attack. We later reported that he had escaped on foot and
22:54
returned to base after several security sources insisted on this. The Nigerian
23:00
army also issued a statement denying the abduction, insisting the general had safely led his men back to based that
23:08
the incident was an ambush causing casualties but no kidnapping. However,
23:13
the military provided no evidence to back this claim at the time. A verified
23:18
image Humeangle has seen shows the commander in the custody of I swap insurgents with a gunshot wound to the
23:24
leg. Verification was carried out through detailed frame analysis, geoloccation cross-checking and
23:31
confirmation from independent security sources familiar with the region and the incident. The image shortly after the
23:38
ambush shows the general surrounded by armed fighters appearing fatigued but alive. Humangle, in line with our
23:46
editorial policies, has made the editorial decision not to publish the picture. This new evidence directly
23:53
challenges the army's public statement, highlighting a significant discrepancy in the information being shared about
24:00
frontline realities. The contradictory accounts raise concerns about communication gaps within the military
24:07
and the potential consequences of misinformation for public trust and operational security. The capture of a
24:14
serving commander marks a rare and serious development in the ongoing conflict with insurgent groups in
24:19
Nigeria's northeast. In recent months, ISWAP has intensified attacks around
24:25
Damboa and the wider Borneo region, escalating the dangers faced by both military personnel and civilians.
24:32
Security analysts who reviewed the image described the abduction as both an operational setback and a symbolic blow
24:39
to Nigerian forces fighting the insurgency. Families of soldiers deployed in the
24:44
area have expressed frustration and anxiety over the conflicting reports about their loved ones safety. Efforts
24:51
to secure fresh comments from the Nigerian army have been ongoing, but as a publication, no new statement has been
24:58
issued addressing the emerging evidence
25:07
the news in a more digital way. United Nigeria Airlines confirmed in a statement issued a few minutes ago that
25:14
two popular Nigeria social media influences Martins's Vincent Dots aka
25:19
Vedman and Freedom Octritz Atsboy aka Mr. Jolof were declaned and handed over
25:25
to Asaba International Airport Police Authority for investigation after the two celebrities goes physical with each
25:32
other inside the United Nigeria Airlines aircraft as the plane was about to depart from a Saba to Lagos early
25:38
morning on Monday. In a press release issued and made available by the airlines public relations officer Chibu
25:46
Kuloka, the United Nigeria Airlines confirms that an altercation occurred
25:51
between two passengers identified as Martins's Vincent Ots Vidman and Freedom
25:57
Oatritz as Mr. Jolof during the boarding of flight UNO 523 at Asaba International
26:05
Airport on the morning of the 17th of November 2025. In full compliance with global aviation
26:12
safety protocols, our crew responded immediately and professionally to deescalate the situation. Both
26:19
passengers were deboarded without delay to ensure the safety, comfort, and security of all other passengers and
26:25
crew members. They were subsequently handed over to airport security for further investigation. United Nigeria
26:33
Airlines places the highest priority on safety and maintains a zero tolerance policy for any conduct that threatens
26:40
the security or well-being of passengers or crew. After all standard procedures
26:45
were completed, the flight departed safely while the passengers involved in the altercation were still with the
26:51
authorities. We remained firmly committed to providing a safe, respectful, and secure travel experience
26:58
across our network. Videos made online by co-passengers on the plane showed
27:03
Verid Darkman threatening to slap Mr. Jolof and Mr. Jolof advanced towards him in a manner that was initially and
27:10
apparently perceived by others inside the plane as a joke until the situation escalated into a mild brawl as crew
27:17
members and passengers tried to intervene. It is gathered that the fight occurred as a result of misunderstanding
27:23
both had since 2024 wherein Vidman had reportedly vowed to attack Mr. to Jolof
27:29
anytime anywhere. Shortly after the fight, Vid Darkman in a video statement
27:35
said that I don't chop Jolof father for inside claim. Man way day bite. I beat I
