"How the Police arrested me without knowing I was the Commissioner of Police" – MD Abubakar

"When I was the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, I never joked with my job especially on Saturdays.

Although my duties usually began at 10 a.m., that day I woke up as early as 6 a.m. to make an unannounced inspection.

I got into my Jeep and headed for the office, but then decided to make a ‘surprise visit’ to some police officers along the road to see how they were carrying out their duties.

At a certain checkpoint along Herbert Macaulay Road, some young police officers stopped me. A young constable looked at me and said:

‘Young man, where are you going with your father’s car?’

He asked for the vehicle documents and my driver’s licence. I told him my name was Mohammed. He insisted I must show my ID card. I told him he should first show me his own.
He had no ID card, so he called their sergeant.

The sergeant also asked for my ID card, and I replied that he should first show me his before I show mine. Seeing that I wasn’t afraid or showing any respect for their intimidation, they said we should go to Yaba Police Station (Panti) to “find out who I was.”

When we got to the station, there was no parking except the one reserved for the DPO. I parked there. The constable got angry and said: “That’s the DPO’s parking space!” I didn’t utter a word.

When we entered inside, they took me to an ASP (Assistant Superintendent of Police) who was wearing shorts!

He told me to come in. I refused, saying there was no way he would interrogate me in casual home clothes.

He got angry and pulled me inside forcefully I pulled him as well.
When he looked closely at my face, his eyes widened in shock…

Meanwhile, an elderly man in the station peeked into the DPO’s office to check the wall where the photographs of police commanders were hung. When he confirmed it was me, he simply jumped out through the window and ran away!

The sergeant who brought me in still couldn’t understand what was happening until another police officer came close to his ear and whispered: “Hey, this is the CP!”

In panic, even the ASP in shorts also followed through the window and ran away!🤣🤣

Afterwards, the Area Commander called me to ask what happened.
He was told that the DPO, the ASP, and other officers involved had been detained awaiting my orders.

A week before that incident, I had went to that same station and cautioned the men about their conduct. But at the end, I said they should be released.

On Monday, over 100 families came to my office crying and begging. One of them, an elderly man, said one of the policemen involved is the only policeman from his village and that if I dismissed him, there would not be any policeman from his village.

I did not dismiss any of them in the end but I only used them to serve as a deterrent to others. I felt if I should dismiss one policeman, I would be dismissing thirty families. Thirty families would be affected one way or the other, because he has a father, a mother, siblings and other extended relatives depending on him.

What upset me the most was not the arrest itself no. It was the level of indiscipline, lack of training, and lack of professionalism they displayed.

How can a police officer stand on the road without an ID card, yet stop and detain people?
How can an ASP sit in casual home wear while handling official duties?

This incident confirmed to me that leadership is not about sitting in an office you must go out, see for yourself, and ensure truth and justice are upheld at every level."

🚨🇸🇪 Zlatan Ibrahimović on Premier League clubs celebrating Manchester City’s 115 charges:

🗣️ Zlatan: “I don’t blame them for celebrating these charges. (laughs) We are talking about a club that has traumatized almost every other club in this league for years. Pep came to the Premier League hearing everyone say it’s the most difficult league in the world, then he came and farmed the league like it was a Division Two league.

“He exposed them. He dominated them for years. So if they can’t win against Manchester City on the pitch, I understand why they are celebrating what is happening off it.

“But now they talk as if these charges were the reason Manchester City dominated. Like that was the main tactic City came with onto the pitch. Forgetting the beautiful football they played, how they controlled games and how they actually won those trophies.

“You can celebrate the charges, you can talk about them, you can wait for the verdict. But don’t rewrite football history. Manchester City dominated on the pitch. That is why they won all those trophies.”

Gone Too Soon: NYSC Adamawa Bids Tearful Farewell to Three Fallen Corps Members #nyscadamawastateofficial #painfulexit

There are losses that leave a scar on the heart, losses so painful that words seem inadequate to express the depth of grief they bring. Such was the atmosphere on Saturday as the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Adamawa State Secretariat, bid a final farewell to three young corps members—Jalilat Suleiman, Usman Shuaibu, and Abdullahi Dauda—whose promising lives were cut short in a tragic motor vehicle accident on 3rd June, 2026, along the Narehi axis of the Girei–Song Road in Adamawa State.

Only days earlier, these young Nigerians had completed their orientation course as members of 2026 Batch A Stream II. Filled with hope, excitement, and dreams of a successful service year, they had embarked on a journey to retrieve their belongings and settle into their places of primary assignment. Like thousands of corps members across the country, they looked forward to making a difference, building friendships, and contributing their quota to national development. Sadly, fate had a different story to tell. Before they could begin the chapter they had eagerly anticipated, death came unexpectedly and took them away from their loved ones.

The burial ceremony, held at the Specialist Hospital, Yola, was filled with tears, prayers, and heartfelt tributes. In attendance were religious leaders, representatives of the Nigerian Red Cross Society, the District Head of Nasarawo Abba, Alhaji Abubakar Aliyu, the Sarkin Sudan Adamawa, the Chief Imam of Nasarawo Abba Central Mosque, family members, NYSC officials, corps members, and sympathizers who gathered to mourn the painful loss.

The grief was visible on every face. Parents wept for children whose futures had been bright with promise. Friends struggled to come to terms with the reality that voices they had spoken with only days ago had fallen silent forever. Corps members stood in disbelief, mourning colleagues who had shared the same dreams, hopes, and aspirations.

Speaking during the ceremony on behalf of the State Coordinator, Mrs. Osoroh Caroline Chinedu, NYSC officials expressed profound sorrow over the tragedy and prayed for the peaceful repose of the departed souls. They also reassured the bereaved families of the Scheme's support and commitment to the welfare of corps members.
One of the most touching moments of the ceremony was the demonstration of love shown by those whose lives had been touched by the deceased. Staff members of Nurul Yaqeen Academy, one of the employers of the fallen corps members, travelled all the way from Mubi North to Yola to pay their last respects. Accompanying them were three corps members serving in the area, who made the long journey to honour their departed colleagues. Their presence spoke volumes about the impact the deceased had made within the short time they spent in their host communities.

As part of the final rites, condolence letters from the NYSC management were presented to the bereaved families, assuring them that they were not alone in their moment of grief.
When the final prayers were offered and the bodies were conveyed to the cemetery for interment, a heavy silence lingered in the air. It was a painful reminder of how fragile life can be. Yet amidst the sorrow, there was gratitude for lives that, though brief, inspired love, friendship, service, and sacrifice.

The dreams of Jalilat Suleiman, Usman Shuaibu, and Abdullahi Dauda may have been cut short, but their memories will continue to live on in the hearts of their families, friends, colleagues, and the entire NYSC family. Their uniforms may be folded away, and their footsteps may no longer be heard, but the legacy of their service and the love they shared will never be forgotten.
Gone too soon, but forever remembered.
May their gentle souls rest in perfect peace. 🕊️🕊️🕊️
