Navy Officer Seaman Abbas Regains Freedom
Seaman Abbas Haruna, a Navy officer who was detained by a senior colleague for six years, has finally been released and disengaged from the Nigerian Armed Forces.
In a statement today, the Defence Headquarters (DHQ), said“The outcome of the investigation will be made public in due course.”
Recall that Abbas was allegedly detained unjustly for six years, a situation that his wife had fought to bring to light.
In a video clip shared by the Berekete Family, a reality radio & television talk magazine, Abbas’ wife, Mrs Hussaina Haruna, expressed her love and unwavering support for her husband despite his ordeal.
“Look at his (my husband’s) condition. I love him that way. They have disengaged him. Maybe they think I don’t love him anymore. I still love him,” she said emotionally, standing by her husband.
Hussaina, in her statement, highlighted her faith and optimism regarding Abbas’ future.
“Let relieving him (my husband) from his job be a stepping stone for his success. I thank God,” she added.

The emotional exchange between Abbas and his wife reflected their resilience.

IGP Disu orders officers to shoot anyone carrying illegal firearms
Disu explained that the directive was backed by Force Order 237, which empowers police officers to respond immediately to armed threats without waiting for approval from superior officers.
The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has directed police officers across the country to shoot on sight anyone found carrying illegal firearms, as part of intensified efforts to curb insecurity.
Disu issued the directive on Friday during a stakeholders’ meeting at the Government House in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, saying the move followed President Bola Tinubu’s instruction that the lingering security crisis in the state must be brought to an end.
The police chief maintained that only authorised security personnel are legally permitted to carry firearms, warning that law enforcement agencies would no longer tolerate the unlawful possession of weapons.
” You cannot move around freely carrying arms as if there is no law and order in this country. It will not be tolerated,” he said.
Disu explained that the directive was backed by Force Order 237, which empowers police officers to respond immediately to armed threats without waiting for approval from superior officers.
