One person has been injured, and sixty-two houses destroyed after suspected herders attacked farming communities in Bali Local Government Area of Taraba State.

According to reports, some residents say the attack followed a dispute about a source of water located between Tor Bali and Atongo villages.

The chairman of Bali Local Government Area, Aboki Dauda, who confirmed the incident said trouble started when a woman went to the pond to fetch water, where she was allegedly beaten by the herders.

The State Government has however said it will not tolerate any breach of peace in the form of communal clashes or any farmers vs herders conflicts to scuttle its peace efforts.

The Lagos State Police Command has announced a significant breakthrough in its relentless fight against crime of violence and other criminalities in Lagos State.

According to a statement from the command;

“On Friday, June 20, 2025, Tactical Squad operatives of the Command successfully in a well-coordinated special operation code-named Silence, Speed and Surprise trailed and arrested Wasiu Akinwande aka Olori Eso, a 44-year-old notorious hired killer and head of killers gang and cultist kingpin who along with his multiple gangs and hoodlums have been terrorizing Mushin area of Lagos State and its environs.

This serial killer suspect is the most wanted suspect in Lagos history in recent time. His arrest marks a huge success in the ongoing fight against violent crimes that are threats to security and safety of residents in Mushin and some other parts of Lagos State.

Wasiu Akinwande was arrested in his hideout in the Agbado area of Ogun State after several attempts by the Police Tactical Squad.

For over a decade now from 2009 until 2024, Wasiu Akinwande and his gangs have terrorized the people and communities, particularly in the Mushin area of Lagos State.

He was responsible for organizing and executing series of armed robberies, cold blooded murders, kidnappings and cult-related killings. His reign of terror instilled fear and apprehension in residents and posed a dangerous threat to law and order.

Akinwande’s criminal activities have left trauma, horror, agony and pains in the families of victims of his numerous high-profile crimes under investigation by the Lagos State Police Command. Despite his escapes from one state of the country to another over the years, the Lagos State Police Command remained resolute in its pursuit of Justice.

The operatives of the Command raided his house in Mushin, and recovered cache of weapons and incriminating items.
