The Borno State Police Command has launched an investigation into the suspected infanticide of a newborn whose lifeless body was discovered in a pit toilet at the Kuya Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp in Monguno.
Zagazola gathered reliably that the incident occurred on April 24, 2025, at about 0630hrs when the camp chairman, Faki Isa, reported the discovery. The newborn’s body was found in the toilet, and it is believed the baby may have been abandoned there by an unknown woman.
A team of investigators visited the scene, and the body was taken to the General Hospital Monguno, where it was confirmed dead by a medical doctor. The corpse was later released to the Kuya IDP Camp chairman for burial.
No arrests have been made so far, but the investigation is ongoing with efforts to trace the individual responsible for the crime.

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai, in collaboration with Police and local Joint Task Force operatives, have foiled an attempt by suspected Boko Haram terrorists to kidnap villagers in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Zagazola learnt that the incident occurred at about 12:45 a.m. on Sunday when about 15 terrorists stormed Kombla in Krichinga District of Madagali.
The terrorists were said to have attempted to abduct some villagers, but were swiftly repelled after troops engaged them in a fierce gun duel.
“The swift response of the troops and supporting security elements forced the terrorists to retreat into surrounding bush paths,” the source said.
The sources added that pursuit operations were ongoing to apprehend the fleeing terrorists.
Normalcy has since returned to the area, while security presence has been strengthened to forestall further attacks.

Army troops intercept suspected drug dealers in Taraba
By: Zagazola Makama
The Nigerian Army Troops at Mutum Biyu in Taraba State, in collaboration with operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), have intercepted a vehicle laden with drugs and military kits.
Zagazola Makama gathered that the operation followed credible intelligence from the NDLEA about a suspected Sienna vehicle, conveying three occupants.
On arrival at the checkpoint, the suspects attempted to evade interrogation as the driver zoomed off. Troops immediately opened fire on the vehicle’s tyres, forcing it to divert into the bush along Garba Shede road.
The occupants abandoned the vehicle and fled before troops arrived at the scene.
A search conducted on the abandoned vehicle led to the recovery of large quantities of codeine and other illicit substances. Also recovered were military kits, including two pairs of woodland camouflage uniforms, a pair of boots, an anklet, and two green berets.
The drugs and vehicle were handed over to the NDLEA, while the military kits remain in custody of the troops.
Military authorities said investigations were ongoing to track down the fleeing suspects
