Following an intelligence-led operation, Nasarawa State Police Command operations rescued four kidnapped children and brought them back to their families.
Rahman Nansel, the Command’s spokesman, made this known in a statement released on Tuesday in Lafia.
Nansel claimed that the rescue came after a report about the children’s disappearance at the New Nyanya Division’s disappearance in suspicious circumstances that was received on December 31, 2025.
He claims that the command responded to the report with a discrete and thorough investigation.

According to him, the command’s detectives relied on reliable information to find the suspects’ hideout, where the children were unharmed when they were working with Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command operatives.
One Abraham Asoje, 28, allegedly abducted the children in a plot with one Joy Bolaje, 29, both of Ado Junction in the LGA, according to preliminary investigation.
According to Nansel, “The suspects reportedly kept the children in captivity until the police arrived on the scene.”
He added that while other suspects were reportedly at large, efforts were being made to apprehend them, the children had since been reunited with their families.
Shetima Mohammed, the state’s commissioner of police, was quoted as saying that he applauded the operation’s operatives’ professionalism, commitment, and swift response.
Due to allegations of illegal child trafficking and related child welfare violations, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Administration has sealed the locations of Kagini, Abuja, Divine Hope Orphanage and Less Privileged Home.
Idris Attah, the FCT Women Affairs Secretariat’s Director of Child Development, gave an official confirmation of the development in a Monday official notice.
In the meantime, the orphanage was closed until the results of its child-related investigations.
Grace Chibuzor, the facility’s proprietress, allegedly fled to an unknown location with an undetermined number of children, according to the notice.
Due to an investigation into its activities involving children, the public is informed that Divine Hope Orphanage and Less Privileged Home, Kagini, Abuja, have been officially sealed as of Monday, January 5, 2026.
The statement read, “Gracee Ebele Chibuzor, the proprietress, fled to an unknown destination with an unspecified number of children without contacting the Child Development Department, FCT Women Affairs Secretariat,”

According to some preliminary investigations, the orphanage is connected to the most recent incident involving four siblings who were allegedly taken from Ado in Nasarawa State and transported to Gwagwalada in the FCT.
On Monday, the children’s biological parents reunited with them.
According to the statement, “Investigations have revealed links to the recent case of four siblings who were happily reunited with their biological parents on Monday, January 5, 2026,” the statement read.
Additionally, investigators have discovered allegations of collusion between the orphanage and Anderson Archibong, the organization’s executive secretary, and the current arrest warranted by the NACCRAN.
The partnership is suspected of having allegedly “facilitated the illegal movement of children from states including Benue and Nasarawa into Abuja for unauthorised fostering and adoption,” according to the Director of Child Development. ”

TOWIE star Harry Derbidge’s ex-boyfriend Dean Rowland has announced the death of his fiance. Dean shared the heartbreaking news via Facebook and spoke about how devastated he was by the sudden death.
Dean shared a selfie of him and Steven Hewitt in all black gym gear and wrote over the top: “My heart is broken and will never be the same again, I love you so much.”
In the post’s caption, he added: “The world didn’t deserve you, the best of the best, you’ll forever be my one true love, I love you so much [broken heart emoji] I can’t believe I’ve got to go on without you.”

One commenter wrote that their hearts were “completely broken” for Dean and everyone close to Steven, while others expressed support for Dean. They emailed “Dean, I’m so sorry my heart is completely broken for you and all of Steven’s family and friends,” and they emailed “heartbreak emoji] sending you all of our love xxx.”
Steven, who was hairdresser in Glasgow, died a year after he and Dean got engaged. The pair had been together for four years but only decided to get married in January 2025. That month, Dean shared a series of videos from the proposal, which happened at the Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland. He wrote over the videos: “I said YES! Completely overwhelmed and filled with joy.
I couldn’t be happier starting this new chapter with the love of my life because Stephen surprised me with the most beautiful proposal. A lifetime of love, laughter, and adventures await you forever. “Dean and Steven were looking for a wedding venue as they finished their home renovations just a few months ago, in October.”
Dean continued in his statement regarding Steven’s passing by saying, “This year gave me memories I will never forget and people I am endlessly grateful for.” He thanked Steven for being my constant, my harmony, and all of my chaos, “Thank you for being my home wherever we are.”
He continued, “If 2025 taught me anything, it’s that life moves quickly, moments matter, and the right people make things better.” To growth, love, laughter, and whatever comes next.
Before moving forward, Dean and TOWIE’s Harry had been engaged, but they broke up in 2021 because of the pandemic and postponed their adoption plans.
Harry said on Towie at the time, “To be with someone for four years… and for it to not work out, it has just been the most heartbreaking like awful thing I’ve had to go through.” I gave everything to this relationship, and I did it so much! To the point where I could give so much that it actually led to debate.
Harry and I have decided to part ways, according to Dean, after four long, amazing years. I’m sharing this with you all with a very heavy heart and complete anxiety. Two best friends have realized it’s time to take some space and help each other lead the most joyful, fulfilled lives possible, with no secrets or salacious events at the center of the decision.
He continues to be a significant part of my life and I would not give him any more. No relationship is easy, and we all know that. However, I can honestly say that the last four years have provided the most incredible experiences for a human being. After all of our laughter, crying, and wine consumption, I still have the greatest respect for Harry and his choices going forward.

Republicans in the United States House of Representatives are being impeached if the party loses a majority in November’s midterm elections.
Trump stressed the importance of maintaining control of the chamber, where his party has a razor-thin majority, when he spoke to lawmakers at a Republican retreat on Wednesday.

The US president said, “You have to win the midterms because, if we don’t win the midterms, they’ll just find a reason to impeach me.” “I’ll be impeached,” I say.
For “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors,” the House has the authority to remove the president and other officials. The Senate, which has the power to acquit and remove an impeached president with a two-thirds vote, would then hear his case.
In November, there will be competition for all 435 House seats, as well as for 33 Senate seats.
In the states’ districts, house members are elected based on population growth. In state-wide elections, senators are chosen.
Trump has been pushing for new congressional district maps in Republican-controlled states to favor the right-wing party, according to critics who call it gerrymandering.
In order to support Republican candidates, redistricting was passed in Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina. Democrats in California have responded by voting initiative-style gerrymandering.
According to various polls, Trump has an approval rating of between 42 and 45 percent for the midterm elections.
Democrats may capitalize on their dissatisfaction with the abducted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to regain control of Congress as the economy begins to show signs of stagnation and the recent US military action that has proven unpopular.
Trump’s performance on Tuesday remained positive despite his own optimism. With the epic midterm victory that we’re going to pull off, he declared, “We’re going to make history and break records.”
He continued to wonder why Republicans lack more support.
Because we have the right policy, Trump said, “I wish you could explain what the hell is happening with the public.” “They have terrible policies,” the Democrats say. They do adhere to one another. They are brutal. They are cruel.
Some Democrats have called for Trump’s impeachment over the past year, citing instances like the military strikes against Iran that were deemed by Congress unconstitutional. No impeachment proposals have been made because the left-wing party is in the minority.
During his first term, Trump faced two charges of impeachment. The first instance occurred in 2019, when he was charged with power abuse because he allegedly persuaded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to launch an investigation into Hunter Biden, the son of former US President Joe Biden.
Following Trump’s supporters’ attack of the US Capitol on January 6 of that year, the second impeachment occurred in 2021. After making false accusations about the legitimacy of the upcoming presidential election, which he lost, Trump was charged with inciting an uprising.
Trump was found guilty twice by the Senate. After he left office, 57 senators found him guilty in the 2021 trial, but the outcome lacked the 67 votes needed to be found guilty.
Trump would not have been able to run for president again in 2024 if he had been found guilty.
The Senate has never rescinded a US president’s post. Before a vote on his impeachment, Richard Nixon left the White House in 1974 because of the Watergate scandal.
As students sat in classrooms and roamed the campus, Israel’s army opened fire on a well-known university in the occupied West Bank, leaving scores of people injured.
As frantic students and staff watched in shock on Tuesday, Israeli soldiers smashed open the university’s gates.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society claims that three of the injured were shot in the legs. Three people were struck by flying shrapnel, and five others were inhaled with tear gas.
According to the official Wafa news agency, Birzeit University said the attack “constitutes a flagrant and deliberate violation of the sanctity of universities and educational institutions.”
The campus’s “storming in broad daylight and turning it into a military zone” is the result of a “synthetic policy” intended to intimidate students, undermine their right to education, and target Palestinian consciousness.
11 people were being treated at the Istishari Arab Hospital in Ramallah, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The Israeli raid came after a student event held in solidarity with thousands of imprisoned Palestinians in Israeli custody, and it also coincided with a screening of the movie “Hind Rajab,” a girl who was shot dead by soldiers in Gaza at the age of six.
Shortly before the screening, Israeli forces stormed the campus. The Israeli army claimed that it attacked a university “gathering in support of terrorism.”
“Started shooting,”
According to a report from Birzeit University, Nida Ibrahim of Al Jazeera reported that 11 people had been taken to hospitals as a result of the attack.
It was unheard of. People claim to have never witnessed anything comparable. We’re discussing an Israeli raid that occurred inside the university where students are enrolling for the first time, and Ibrahim said that the Israeli forces started firing live ammunition rather than tear gas.
They rely on education to have jobs, live a life, and support their families because they are under occupation and have so many choices. However, many students are now concerned about this. Israeli assaults are not tolerated anywhere.
The violent assault was condemned by Palestine’s Ministry of Education and Higher Education, who claimed that the attack violated all international standards and conventions governing educational facilities.
The ministry called on the International Association of Universities, the Association of Arab Universities, and international human rights organizations to condemn the Israeli shooting and claim that it would not “break the will of Palestinian students or staff.”

The nail in the coffin, then.
Israel’s final step toward building a contentious settlement project close to East Jerusalem, which would effectively divide the occupied West Bank into two, was completed on Tuesday, according to a government tender.
The E1 project’s construction can begin with a tender seeking developer bids. The tender was first reported by Peace Now, an anti-settlement monitoring organization. Initial work could start in the month, according to Yanji Mizrahi, the group’s settlement watch division.
E1, an open parcel of land east of Jerusalem, has been subject to ongoing planning for more than 20 years, but US pressure from previous administrations led to its freezing.
The West Bank’s construction of Israeli settlements is viewed by the international community as being against international law and a barrier to peace.
Because it extends far beyond Jerusalem and into the occupied West Bank, the E1 project is particularly contentious. It would, according to critics, prevent the territory from becoming a single Palestinian state.
Bezalel Smotrich, the far-right politician who controls settlement policy in Israel, has long advocated for the implementation of the plan.
When Israel gave final approval to the plan in August, Smotrich claimed that “the Palestinian state is being erased from the table not with slogans but with actions.” Every settlement, every neighborhood, and every housing unit are just another example of how dangerous this idea is.
