The Kaduna State Police Command has revealed the identity of the man who caused panic after charging towards President Bola Tinubu during his visit to the state.

According to the police, the suspect has been identified as Umar Mohammed, a resident of Anguwan Muazu in Kaduna.

The incident happened during the commissioning of a 300-bed specialist hospital in Millennium City.

As President Tinubu was addressing the audience, Mohammed suddenly broke through the crowd and rushed toward him, triggering a swift response from security operatives.

The moment left Tinubu visibly shocked, as seen in a widely shared video showing his startled reaction and the confusion among his security team.

Police later disclosed that the man has a mental health condition he has lived with since birth.

They described his actions as unplanned and driven by excitement, adding that he was unarmed and posed no real threat after being restrained.

Despite the scare, the event continued as planned.

Governor Uba Sani led the inauguration of the hospital, which is expected to boost healthcare access in Kaduna.

Suspected herdsmen have launched a deadly attack late Sunday night on Tse Yange, a Tiv-dominated community in Obi Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.

The attackers reportedly killed the village head and abducted several residents during the raid.

It was gathered that the gunemn stormed the agrarian community on motorbikes in the night, unleashing terror and destruction.

An eyewitness revealed that the assault lasted into the early hours of Monday, leaving many people injured and several homes deserted.

An unconfirmed number of people have been reported killed, with many others injured, following a deadly overnight attack by suspected herdsmen on Mtsewnem, Akondutyough village in the North Bank area of Makurdi, the Benue State capital.

According to reports, the assailants stormed the community around 3:00 a.m., attacking residents in their sleep.

Reacting to the incident, humanitarian worker and human rights advocate, Ukan Kurugh, described the attack as “deeply disturbing.”

He said, “At 3:00 a.m. today, I received a heartbreaking distress call, accompanied by chilling video footage and photographs of yet another suspected herdsmen attack.

“This time, the horror unfolded in North Bank, less than a 40-minute drive from Makurdi town.

“These brazen attackers continue to strike with impunity, undeterred by the presence of state and federal authorities. They have defied the President, the Governor, and our entire security apparatus.

“To the wounded and to the families who lost loved ones, my heart grieves with you. Your pain is our pain. We will not turn away.

We will not be silent. We are wide awake and we will continue to speak, to mourn, and to demand action.”
