 WINDSTORM DISRUPTS BENUE RALLY, ORGANISERS REGROUP AS 10,000-MAN MARCH CONTINUES A strong windstorm on Saturday briefly disrupted a 10,000-man solidarity march in Oju Local Government Area of Benue State in support of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Hyacinth Alia. The storm scattered canopies and chairs, causing momentary panic among participants at the venue. Despite the disruption, organisers and supporters regrouped and proceeded with the event. The rally, aimed at demonstrating grassroots support for the two leaders, continued shortly after calm was restored. Organisers described the incident as a minor setback, insisting their commitment remained firm. “We continued the programme after the situation stabilised. Our support is unwavering,” a coordinator said.

 Former Police Sergeant Jailed for Stealing Evidence


A former police sergeant is heading to prison after stealing evidence from a crime scene.

Leonard Madikana Maraka, 51, was found guilty in the Tzaneen Magistrate’s Court of theft and defeating the administration of justice.


He received 12 months of direct imprisonment and was declared unfit to possess a firearm.


The court heard that on 15 March 2024, Maraka was on crime prevention duty in Haenertsburg when officers chased a suspicious vehicle to Makgeng village in the Mankweng policing area. The driver fled, leaving behind chainsaws suspected to be stolen.


Police booked the recovered items into the SAPS 13 register. Maraka then stole two chainsaws and sold them for personal gain. The items were later recovered, and the Provincial Anti-Corruption Unit opened a case.


After several court appearances, the matter concluded on Friday, 6 February 2026, with a direct prison sentence.
