In a tragic incident on Sunday, at least 13 vigilante members lost their lives during an attack by armed men suspected to be part of the Lakurawa terrorist group in Morai village, located in Augie Local Government Area of Kebbi State. The attackers reportedly invaded the village with the intention of stealing cattle, prompting a swift response from local vigilantes who had received prior intelligence about the operation. According to eyewitness reports, including statements from local resident Alhaji Augie, the vigilante group had attempted to ambush the gunmen by hiding in surrounding bushes. Unfortunately, they were unaware that the attackers had already taken strategic positions and had surrounded them. “As soon as the vigilantes moved to engage, the terrorists opened heavy fire, killing at least 13 men instantly. Morai is only about three kilometers from our village,” Augie stated in a report published by Channels Television. So far, six bodies have been retrieved and laid to rest in accordance with Islamic burial customs. Search operations are still ongoing to recover the remaining victims of the deadly ambush. Efforts to get an official statement from the Kebbi State Police Command were unfruitful as their Public Relations Officer, Nafiu Abubakar, was unreachable at the time of this report. This violent attack highlights the growing insecurity in northern Nigeria, where local vigilante groups often step in to protect their communities in the absence of robust state security infrastructure.

A dramatic turn of events unfolded at the Federal High Court in Lagos when a businessman, Okorie Sunday, who was arrested at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, with $578,000 in cash, collapsed in the courtroom during his trial. The incident disrupted the proceedings as court officials and family members rushed to assist him.

His wife and daughter, who were present in court, broke down in tears as he was quickly rushed to the hospital for medical attention. Arrest and Seizure of $578,000 at Lagos Airport The case dates back to March 19, 2025, when Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) intercepted Okorie upon his arrival in Lagos from Johannesburg aboard South African Airways Flight SA60. At the airport’s currency declaration desk, he reportedly declared only $279,000. However, a routine search uncovered an additional $299,000 concealed in multiple packages, bringing the total sum to $578,000 in cash.

The EFCC continues its crackdown on financial crimes, reinforcing Nigeria’s commitment to anti-money laundering regulations.
