OTUKPO KIDNAPPING: POLICE RESCUE ALL ABDUCTED BENUE LINKS PASSENGERS, INCLUDING STUDENTS, ARREST SUSPECTS The Nigeria Police Force has achieved a major operational breakthrough with the rescue of all victims abducted in the Otukpo kidnapping incident involving passengers of a Benue Links bus on 15 April 2026. Acting on credible intelligence, operatives of the Benue State Police Command launched coordinated clearance operations across the Amla Forest corridor and adjoining areas. These efforts led to the safe recovery of the remaining 13 victims, including eight students en route to Otukpo for their UTME examinations. In total, all 18 passengers have now been accounted for. Each rescued individual has undergone medical evaluation, is in stable condition, and will be reunited with their families after debriefing. In the course of the operation, seven suspects were arrested, three of whom have been positively identified as members of the kidnapping syndicate. Investigations are ongoing to apprehend additional accomplices and dismantle the wider criminal network behind the attack. The suspects are in custody and are being interrogated in accordance with the law. The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc(+), NPM, commended the professionalism, resilience, and gallantry displayed by the officers and men of the Benue State Command.

POLICE REFORMS: IGP DISU RESTRUCTURES MONITORING UNIT, APPOINTS DCP ALIYU ABUBAKAR AS HEAD OF THE UNIT The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc(+), NPM, has approved the comprehensive restructuring of the Police Monitoring Unit as part of ongoing institutional reforms aimed at enhancing operational effectiveness, strengthening internal oversight, and reinforcing discipline across the Nigeria Police Force. The restructuring is necessitated by the need to refocus the Unit on its core mandate, address identified operational inefficiencies, and reposition it as a credible and effective internal accountability mechanism within the Force. As part of the reorganisation, the Unit has been streamlined and strengthened to enhance proactive monitoring, intelligence-driven inspections, and real-time oversight of police personnel and operations across Commands, Formations, and Departments. The restructured framework also harmonises key investigative and monitoring functions in line with the Force’s reform agenda. Consequently, the Inspector-General of Police has approved a leadership transition within the Unit, with Deputy Commissioner of Police Aliyu Abubakar appointed as Head of the Police Monitoring Team to oversee the operations of the restructured Unit. Prior to his appointment, he served as Deputy Commissioner of Police, State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), in both the FCT and Rivers State Police Commands, where he played critical roles in high-profile investigations. During this period, he worked closely with state leadership to modernize investigative techniques and strengthen operational effectiveness. He is widely regarded by peers and stakeholders as a community-oriented and professional officer, noted for promoting transparency and engagement in policing. The IGP emphasized that the reform is geared towards entrenching professionalism, discipline, and transparency within the Force, noting that the Monitoring Unit will play a central role in identifying operational lapses, enforcing standards, and ensuring accountability at all levels. The Nigeria Police Force reiterates its commitment to sustained reforms, institutional development , and the delivery of a more accountable, professional, and citizen-focused policing system.
