The Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Olushola Ayanlade, signed a statement that contained this information.

Ayanlade claimed that the Gender-Based Violence Unit at the Command had been given complete control over the case, which had been brought on by the Ore division.

A 17-year-old girl named Vivian Peter from Akwa Ibom State reported to the police on October 21, 2025, claiming she had been trafficked from her home state to Ore under the false pretense of getting a job.

The teenager allegedly arrived in Ore at a place that appeared to be a clinic, which later turned out to be a baby factory.

Apparently, she encountered other pregnant girls who were being held against their will there.

She made it clear that Ada Clement, the facility’s owner, had advised her to get to a different hospital for a medical scan, but she managed to elude and call the Ore Police Division about the incident.

Police from the Ore division raided the facility quickly, rescuing five pregnant girls and a boy who had just arrived.

While the others are in protective custody, one of the victims is already giving birth and is currently receiving post-natal care at the General Hospital in Ore.

Prime suspect

Ada Clement, the main suspect, and some of her compliciters had admitted to running the baby factory, according to preliminary investigations.

According to rumors, they made it known that the babies were sold to children seeking parents, with males getting 600,000 and higher and female babies getting 400,000 and higher.

A comprehensive and understated investigation, according to Ayanlade, was ordered by Adebowale Lawal, the police commissioner, to ensure that all members of the syndicate are detained and charged.

He noted that other ring members who were fleeing were already on the run for their lives thanks to detectives from the Command’s Gender-Based Violence Unit.

Lawal reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun’s orders, underscoring the Nigeria Police Force’s unwavering resistance to gender-based violence, including child exploitation, and human trafficking.

Temitope Temokun, a human rights lawyer, described how ten police officers “forcefully whisked” activist Omoyele Sowore from the Kuje Magistrate Court on Friday.

Temokun described the incident as “unnecessary and premeditated” in an exclusive interview with Channels Television’s Inside Sources on Sunday, adding that he had made violent arrest attempts.

The officers “treated those who attempted to capture the scene brutally.” He claimed that I was also assaulted and injured.

Within 30 minutes of the magistrate’s ruling, Sowore and other defendants’ bail conditions were met, but officers stormed the premises and “bundled him into a car” according to him.

Temokun criticized the police, alleging that they were unable to transfer Sowore to Kuje Prison. The Kuje authorities initially rejected him, he said, “but they tried to disguise the situation and patch it up.”

Prior to the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest, Sowore was given a $ 50.000 bail with two sureties, along with other defendants. He was arrested on Monday, October 27, 2025, despite the conditions, and is scheduled to appear in court on that day.

The Chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, Government Ekpemupolo, is known as Tompolo, but he has refuted reports that are out there saying he gave the Federal Government a 21-day ultimatum to release Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in its place.

Tompolo claimed in a statement signed by his media consultant, Paul Bebenimibo, that the publication was untrue and mischievous, and that he had no affiliation with the Nnamdi Kanu controversy or any other related issues.

“We firmly assert that High Chief Ekpemupolo did not write the article or approve it.” Detractors are trying to discredit him because of his firm opposition to illegal crude oil activities in the Niger Delta region. Tompolo continues to work hard to stop oil theft and pipeline vandalism, as these individuals have failed and will fail,” the statement reads in part.

A shocking alleged murder involving two self-styled native doctors has been discovered by police personnel.

In the Owa-Alidinma community, Ika North-East Local Government Area of Delta State, the native doctors are accused of killing their patients and dumping their bodies there.

Isioma Ugbeje, 22, and Liberty Friday, a 20-year-old passenger, were discovered missing after visiting a community shrine for spiritual counseling.

According to reports, Friday had traveled to the herbalist’s residence to get some assistance, and he was taken on his motorcycle by Ugbeje and taken there by himself. Their families raised an alarm and reported the incident to the police when both men failed to return home.

Detectives began an extensive investigation that resulted in the discovery of the victims’ decomposing remains at the shrine after receiving a petition from the Agbor Area Command on October 14, 2025. The premises’ soak-away pit was where the bodies were buried.

According to Bright Edafe, the Police Public Relations Officer for the Delta State Command, two suspects, both half-brothers Amechi Okwuokenye (20) and Smart Okwuokenye (26), were detained in connection with the killings.

Amechi was allegedly kidnapped while hid inside a shrine refrigerator, according to Edafe. He admitted to being a kidnapped, demanded a ransom of at least $10 million, and he and his brother had taken Friday and the motorcycle rider to the shrine during interrogation. They allegedly murdered both men and dumped their bodies in a soak-away pit when the plan failed.

He explained that the shrine’s evidence, which included blood stains and ritual objects, suggested that ritual or organ harvesting practices may have contributed to the crime.

The family of Liberty Friday and the wife of the murdered motorcycle rider have also made an appeal for justice.

The suspects would face charges, according to the Command’s official statement, which assured the public that justice would be served and that the suspects would face legal action.
