 FG COMMITTEE SEEKS TWO WEEKS EXTENSION TO PROBE DEATHS OF 37 IN NSCDC CUSTODY The Federal Government’s independent committee investigating the reported deaths of 37 persons in NSCDC custody in Niger State has asked for an additional two weeks to complete its assignment. Chairman of the Committee, Jonathan Kure, says appreciable progress has been made since its inauguration, including inspection of the custody facility, conduct of autopsies, and taking of statements from NSCDC personnel, survivors, families and other witnesses. The Committee says the additional two weeks will enable it to review the volume of evidence and testimonies gathered, while giving all persons implicated in the incident an opportunity to respond. The Committee is now expected to complete its investigation and submit its report by 21st October, 2026.

A BIG BOMB FACTORY UNCOVERED BY POLICE IN EBONYI STATE. (PHOTO).

 
Ebonyi Police spokesperson Chris Anyanwu who disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, December 15, said the discovery followed an operation by the Police during which its operatives engaged in a gun battle with IPOB/ESN members leading to the death of two of the separatist group members and arrest of one of the state commanders.
 
He said the bomb factory was discovered in a camp at Obegu, a boundary area between Onicha-Isu and Ishielu LGAs of Ebonyi State.
 
The statement read; 
 

“The invasion of the criminals’ den was necessitated by an earlier encounter between operatives of the Command’s Tactical Teams, sequel to a credible information gathered that the hoodlums were operating/wreaking havoc in the State with a Toyota Sienna space bus which they robbed at gun point from the owner within Ishielu axis.
“A quick trail and joint effort with a team of detectives attached to Ohaukwu Division led to the arrest of Sunday Ubah a.k.a Bongo, the State Commander of the IPOB/ESN in Ebonyi State.
“The miscreant who gave revealing pieces of information about the activities and modus operandi of the criminals, initially claimed that he is their PRO and native of Umunnochi in Isuikwuato LGA, Abia State.
"However, a scrupulous investigation aided by his antecedents/profile with the Police Command proved that he is a native of Obegu, Onicha LGA of Ebonyi State and indeed the factional Commander of the outfit in Obegu”.

 
Anyanwu said a couple of Police operatives sustained minor bullet injuries while two of the hoodlums were neutralized during the shootout that ensued. One of the suspects (the Commander) WAS apprehended while others escaped with various degrees of bullet injuries.
 
Following the gun duel, a joint team of the Command’s Tactical Teams, the Military and DSS, armed with credible information courtesy of the suspect, swooped on the houses/residences of the Commander and others.

The search warrant which was executed, led to recovery of massive incriminating exhibits.
