This was contained in a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, S.P Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa on Friday.
According to the statement, the incidents occurred on separate occasions earlier in January.
“On January 1, a resident of Abuja reported that two unidentified individuals approached his car stand in Zuba, Abuja, expressing interest in a Toyota Corolla 2014 model. During a test drive, the suspects brandished a pistol, threatened the victim, and fled with the vehicle, including its original documents and keys.”
Similarly, on January 4, a Mercedes Benz C300 parked in front of Luxirian Event Center in Nassarawa GRA, Kano, was stolen from its owner, a resident of Hadejia Road, Kano.
In response, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Salman Dogo Garba, deployed detectives from the Anti-Car Theft Unit to recover the stolen vehicles.
“Acting on information obtained from the e-CMR platform, the team located the stolen Toyota Corolla behind the old Airport in Bauchi State and the Mercedes Benz in Shagari Quarters, Kano. The recovery efforts spanned January 10 to January 15,” the statement added.
Speaking on the operation, CP Salman Dogo Garba commended the detectives for their efficiency.
He encouraged members of the public to register their vehicles on the e-CMR platform to enhance security and facilitate quick recovery in case of theft.
“The e-CMR platform is a vital tool for preventing and addressing vehicle theft. I urge everyone to take advantage of this system by registering their vehicles through the website *https://cmris.npf.gov.ng

Nasarawa: Gov Sule sets up committee to tackle ghost workers in LGAs
Nasarawa state Governor, Abdullahi Sule has inaugurated a five-member committee to address the issue of ghost workers in local government areas (LGAs) across the state.
The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Public Affairs, Comrade Peter Ahemba, disclosed this in Lafia.
He stated that the decision was a resolution of the State Economic Council, chaired by Deputy Governor Emmanuel Akabe, during its recent meeting in the state capital.
Ahemba explained that the committee’s mandate includes conducting a thorough screening to ascertain the actual workforce of the LGAs.
The exercise, he said, aims to curb financial leakages and enable the councils to implement the N70,000 minimum wage for staff.
“The screening became necessary due to complaints about an inflated workforce, especially in development areas. However, this initiative is not intended to undermine the authority of local government leaders or interfere with their autonomy,” Ahemba said.
He added that the governor has also urged LGA chairmen to align with federal and state food security initiatives by acquiring large parcels of land for agricultural purposes.
To support this drive, Vice President Kashim Shetima recently presented two tractors to each of the 13 LGA chairmen during his visit to Nasarawa State.
In another directive, Governor Sule ordered the centralization of revenue generation between the state and LGAs to ensure accountability and eliminate leakages in the collection process.
The measures, Ahemba noted, are part of the administration’s efforts to promote financial discipline, food security, and sustainable development in the state

NESREA seals popular Nasarawa spot over excessive noise pollution
The National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) on Friday sealed Cyvillian Garden, a well-known relaxation hub located on Abacha Road, Mararaba, Nasarawa State, over excessive noise pollution.
The agency said the decision followed numerous complaints from residents about the facility’s noise levels, which they described as intolerable.
NESREA further revealed that the establishment failed to comply with repeated warnings and abatement notices issued to mitigate the nuisance.
Speaking on the enforcement, the Director General of NESREA, Dr. Innocent Barikor, said, “We took all necessary steps before getting to the point of sealing. Complaints from residents were investigated, and noise readings were taken at different times. These readings were significantly above the permissible limits for a residential area.”
Dr. Barikor, represented by the Director of Inspection and Enforcement, Dr. Christopher Beka, explained that the agency had made efforts to resolve the matter amicably before taking action.
“Abatement notices were subsequently issued to the facility as required by law. We also held an arbitration meeting where the facility was advised to operate within the standards set out in the National Environmental (Noise Standards and Control) Regulations, 2009,” he stated.
He emphasized the negative impact of noise pollution on health and quality of life said; “Noise pollution is a very serious issue, and we are tackling it headlong because the health of citizens is affected. It is intolerable that one would return from a hectic day at work and be unable to sleep at night because of noise. You cannot run your business or create fun for yourself at the expense of others.”
Dr. Barikor assured the public of NESREA’s commitment to ensuring a high quality of life for Nigerians through the enforcement of environmental regulations.
He also hinted at further enforcement activities across the country, aimed at addressing similar violations.

Conflict in Sudan dangerously affecting civilians – UN
The United Nations, UN, High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, has said that the conflict in Sudan is taking an more dangerous turn for civilians. Türk stated this in a statement on Friday.

Conflict in Sudan dangerously affecting civilians – UN
The United Nations, UN, High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, has said that the conflict in Sudan is taking an more dangerous turn for civilians.
Türk stated this in a statement on Friday.
This is coming in the wake of reports that dozens were brutally killed in ethnically targeted attacks in Al Jazirah state in the southeast.
This is also amid reports of an imminent battle for the control of the country’s capital, Khartoum.
DAILY POST gathered that the Sudanese Armed Forces, SAF, and a rival military, the Rapid Support Forces, RSF, have been fighting since April 2023 in what Türk described as a senseless war.
As they battle for control at all cost, direct and ethnically motivated attacks on civilians are becoming increasingly common.
“The situation for civilians in Sudan is already desperate, and there is evidence of the commission of war crimes and other atrocity crimes.
“I fear the situation is now taking a further, even more dangerous turn,” he said.
It was gathered that last week no fewer than 21 people were killed in just two attacks on camps in Al Jazirah, located some 40 kilometres from the state capital, Wad Madani.
However, the actual number of attacks directed at civilians, and of civilians killed, are likely to be higher.
On January 10, at least eight civilians were killed in an attack on Taiba Camp, and at least 13 women and one man were abducted.
Houses were burnt and livestock, crops and other property looted, while dozens of families were displaced.
The next day, at least 13 civilians were killed, including two boys, in an assault on Khamsa Camp.
The attacks came in the context of the recapture of Wad Madani by the SAF.
Reports suggest they were carried out by the Sudan Shield Forces led by Abu Aqla Keikal, a former RSF commander, who defected to the other side last October.
The attacks reportedly targeted the Kanabi, a historically marginalised group comprised mainly of Nuba and other African tribes.
Türk noted that the Sudanese authorities’ assurance that the attacks would be fully investigated and those responsible brought to justice, and an investigation committee has been established.
