BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsWORLD deskThe Medical Director of Multicare Hospital, Makurdi, Benue State, Dr. Jonah Ogbaji, who was initially reported to have been abducted while attending to patients, has been found in police custody. Ogbaji was reportedly taken from the hospital premises at Ankpa Quarters Ward, Makurdi, on Wednesday night, prompting concerns among his family and colleagues. A daughter of the medical director had raised the alarm after he was reportedly taken away by individuals who arrived at the hospital in a Toyota Sienna vehicle. Following the development, the family was said to have visited several police stations within Makurdi in an attempt to determine his whereabouts. The daughter later informed journalists that the family received information indicating that her father had been taken away by police operatives deployed from Abuja. She said the reason for his arrest was not immediately known to the family. However, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, of the Benue State Command, DSP Peter Aondongu, clarified that the doctor was not abducted but arrested by a special police squad in connection with an ongoing investigation. “The Command has received enquiries regarding reports of the alleged abduction of a medical doctor and owner of a hospital in Makurdi. “Upon verification, the report is false. The doctor was not abducted. He was arrested yesterday (Wednesday) at his hospital by operatives of the Special Tactical Squad (STS) attached to the Force Intelligence Department (FID), Abuja, in connection with an ongoing investigation. “The specific circumstances surrounding the investigation are not yet known to the Command. “Members of the media and the general public are therefore advised to disregard reports of his alleged abduction or kidnapping, as they are false,” the PPRO stat

Ibraye announced his resignation in a letter dated Thursday and addressed to the ADC Ward Chairman in Degema Ward 16, Bille. He said the party’s internal leadership crisis, particularly the dispute surrounding the David Mark-led faction, had made it impossible for him to remain a member. According to him, he had remained committed to the party’s principles of internal democracy, fairness and respect for legitimate structures, but recent developments had undermined those values. Ibraye accused some new members of attempting to take over legitimate party structures across the country despite ongoing legal disputes over the party’s leadership. He warned that allowing a disputed leadership to determine candidates for the 2027 elections could create problems for those seeking office on the party’s platform. “The continued attempt by a disputed leadership to determine ADC candidates for the 2027 elections raises questions about the legitimacy and stability of such candidatures,” he said. He added that political tickets emerging from the process were being built “on quicksand rather than solid ground.” The former governorship candidate argued that no political movement could build a credible future while its internal foundation remained unsettled. Ibraye also criticised the broader opposition, saying it had focused more on removing President Bola Tinubu than presenting Nigerians with a clear plan for governance. “I have therefore decided that I can no longer remain on what I consider a sinking political ship,” he said. He said he would begin c
