Nigerians are responding with outrage and concern following the arrest and subsequent disciplinary action ordered by the Commandant-General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi. This action was taken against certain Civil Defenders serving in the Provost Unit who were involved in the assault of a middle-aged man accused of stealing the manhood of two individuals in the Sauka area of Abuja.
The decision to arrest and initiate disciplinary proceedings against the implicated NSCDC personnel came in response to a viral video posted by LEADERSHIP on its social media platforms. The video depicted NSCDC officers manhandling the accused man within the premises of the Corps’ national headquarters in Abuja.

Meanwhile, a civil social organization known as The Advocacy for Alleged Witches (AfAW) has called upon the Federal Government to intervene in the matter. AfAW urged the government to arrest and prosecute the NSCDC officers involved in the assault, emphasizing the need for justice.
The disturbing video footage showed NSCDC officers physically abusing the accused man and demanding that he “return” the allegedly stolen manhood without any proper verification of the theft claim. The man suffered physical injuries, including a swollen face and bleeding, as a result of the assault.
Leo Igwe, the leader of AfAW, condemned the officers’ behavior, highlighting the unprofessional conduct and disregard for the law displayed during the incident. He emphasized that superstition-based allegations, such as penis disappearance, have no basis in reality and should not serve as a justification for such horrific abuse.
AfAW called for the arrest and prosecution of all NSCDC officers involved in the incident, asserting that this action would serve as a deterrent and ensure that similar incidents do not occur in the future. The organization also urged the NSCDC and other state agencies to address institutional failures by providing training and reorientation programs for their officers to ensure they carry out their duties professionally and in compliance with the law.
The video has sparked a wider conversation among Nigerians about the need for law enforcement agencies to uphold human rights and conduct thorough investigations before resorting to physical abuse. Many are calling for justice and accountability in this case and similar incidents, stressing the importance of addressing superstitious beliefs and baseless allegations within society.

According to Nivo News, Commissioner of Police Danladi Isa provided the update on Friday during a briefing at his office, outlining the operational strategies and achievements of the Command during the period under review. He disclosed that 435 rounds of ammunition were recovered from suspected criminals and that over 200 suspects have been successfully prosecuted, with several jailed for various offenses.
The CP further revealed that 33 children who had been kidnapped or trafficked were rescued within and outside the state, with the suspects involved prosecuted and some already imprisoned. “We have sent a lot of people to jail. A clear message has been passed that it is no longer business as usual for criminals in Abia State,” Isa stated.
He highlighted that the state’s crime rate has declined under his leadership, attributing the success to support from Governor Alex Otti, provision of logistics, and collaboration with community stakeholders. Isa also noted that officers encountered non-state actors on several occasions, who were neutralized and disarmed.
The Police Commissioner urged residents to continue providing credible information on suspicious activities to further strengthen the fight against crime. Firearms and other weapons recovered from suspects were displayed at the Police headquarters in Umuahia for the media.
According to Nivo News, the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF–NCCC) has arrested high-profile cybercrime suspects linked to a sophisticated Microsoft 365 phishing operation that targeted the email systems of major corporate organisations.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The arrests followed actionable intelligence received from Microsoft Corporation in the United States through the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which exposed the deployment of an advanced phishing toolkit known as RaccoonO365. The toolkit was designed to create counterfeit Microsoft login pages capable of harvesting user credentials and unlawfully accessing corporate, financial, and educational email platforms.
Briefing journalists in Abuja on Thursday, the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed that the cybercrime centre launched a coordinated, intelligence-led operation in partnership with Microsoft, the FBI, and the United States Secret Service. He explained that investigations traced multiple cases of unauthorised Microsoft 365 account access recorded between January and September 2025 to phishing emails crafted to closely mimic legitimate Microsoft authentication portals.
According to police findings, the cyberattacks resulted in business email compromise, data breaches, and significant financial losses across several jurisdictions. Acting on precise intelligence, NPF–NCCC operatives conducted targeted operations in Lagos and Edo states, leading to the arrest of three suspects. Searches carried out at their residences yielded laptops, mobile phones, and other digital devices, which forensic analysis directly linked to the fraudulent activities.
Further investigations identified Okitipi Samuel, also known by the aliases “RaccoonO365” and “Moses Felix,” as the principal suspect and alleged developer of the phishing infrastructure. Police said he operated a Telegram channel through which phishing links were sold in exchange for cryptocurrency and hosted fake login portals on Cloudflare using stolen or fraudulently obtained email credentials.
The police clarified that there was no evidence connecting the two other arrested individuals to the creation or management of the phishing scheme. The Nigeria Police Force reiterated its commitment to protecting the country’s digital environment through the use of advanced technology, enhanced international cooperation, and thorough investigative and prosecutorial processes aimed at combating evolving cyber threats.
