The Plateau State Police Command has arrested another suspect in connection with the alleged mob k!lling of 25-year-old model, Ibrahim Mbaya in Jos.

LIB reported that Mbaya, a University of Jos graduate popularly known as Ibee, was accused of stealing an iPhone and brutally beaten by the suspects.

The suspect, identified as 24-year-old Yusuf Christopher Beskeni, a University of Jos Faculty of Arts Students Association (FASA) presidential aspirant, was arrested following credible intelligence gathered by detectives investigating the case.

Four other suspects were earlier arrested in connection with the k!lling.

The spokesperson for the command, SP Alfred Alabo, disclosed this on Wednesday, August 5, 2026 after the parade of the suspect.

According to the statement, preliminary investigations indicate that Beskeni allegedly took part in the assault on Mbaya, including helping to tie him to a pole while he was being tortured by members of the mob.

The PPRO said the assault ultimately led to Mbaya’s d3ath.

Alabo added that investigations are ongoing, and authorities say efforts are being intensified to apprehend other fleeing suspects.

The Acting Commissioner of Police, DCP Usman Sheikh Adamu, assured the deceased’s family and residents of Plateau State that the Command would ensure that everyone found responsible faces the full weight of the law.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed freezing the bank accounts of the Osun State Government, saying the action was taken to stop what it described as the alleged fraudulent handling of N11 billion belonging to the Osun State Government.

According to the Commission, an investigation, which commenced in March 2026, focused on the alleged diversion and mismanagement of Ecology Funds, Intervention Funds and allocations from the Federal Account Allocation Committee (FAAC). It disclosed that several state officials, including the Accountant General, had already been questioned by investigators.

In a statement signed by its Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the EFCC said it had no initial intention of freezing the state’s accounts but was compelled to act after detecting what it described as “precipitate and unwarranted” transfers of large sums from the government accounts into several corporate entities beginning on August 2.

The anti-graft agency maintained that the Post No Debit order was a preventive measure aimed at protecting public funds from alleged looting and was not connected to the forthcoming governorship election.

“The Commission cannot watch idly while a state government’s account is being pillaged,” the EFCC said, adding that the existence of an impending election could not prevent it from carrying out its statutory responsibility to safeguard public resources.

The Commission also disclosed that it is monitoring the finances of several other state governments across the country, stressing that many are already under investigation as part of efforts to promote accountability and transparency in the management of public funds.

Rejecting allegations of political bias, the EFCC insisted it remained non-partisan and acted solely in the public interest. It urged Nigerians to disregard what it described as false narratives surrounding the account freeze, maintaining that the action was taken to protect the resources of the people of Osun State while investigations continue.

A lady has stirred conversation online after questioning why some older men choose to pursue relationships with much younger women.

In the video, she questioned why a 45-year-old man would consider an 18-year-old suitable for marriage instead of someone closer to his age.

According to her, some older men prefer much younger women because they believe they are easier to influence and control, while older women are more experienced and less likely to tolerate certain behaviour.

She also criticised those who describe women in their 30s and above as "too old" for marriage, arguing that such views are unfair and hypocritical. The video has since sparked mixed reactions on social media, with users debating age-gap relationships and personal preferences.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly frozen an Osun State Government account domiciled with First Bank, ten days to governorship election slated for August 15.

Vanguard reports that the account, reportedly used for the payment of workers’ salaries, was placed on “Post No Debit” status by the anti-graft agency.

The development came hours after Governor Ademola Adeleke alleged that the EFCC was planning to freeze the state’s accounts and those of top government officials.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, the governor described the reported move as an attempt to cripple government activities ahead of the August 15 governorship election.

Adeleke maintained that there was no legal basis for freezing the accounts of the state government, arguing that the EFCC lacked the statutory powers to take such action.

“I can confirm that the state government account has been frozen by the EFCC. It is no longer an allegation. The governor will address the press shortly to update the public on the situation,”a source in the state government was quoted as saying

The EFCC is yet to comment on this development.
