Tragedy in Ado-Ekiti: Policeman and Wife Kill Each Other in Machete Fight
A tragic domestic dispute turned deadly in the Ita Eku area of Igirigiri, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, as a couple lost their lives in a violent machete fight on Tuesday, February 20, 2025.
The deceased, Caleb, a police officer, and his wife, whose name is yet to be disclosed, were found in a pool of blood at their residence, where they lived with their four children. According to reports, the wife frequently accused her husband of infidelity, which allegedly fueled tensions between them.
Son Recounts the Night of the Tragedy
In a viral video shared by Daodu Sammy Gbenga on Thursday, one of the couple’s children, a 13-year-old boy, recounted the chilling events leading up to the incident.
He revealed that earlier that evening, there was no visible sign of conflict between his parents. They had played, prayed, and told stories together, giving the impression that all was well.
“My father returned home around 9 p.m. but refused to eat until my mother came back. When she arrived, they played together and later had family prayers before we all went to bed,” he said.
However, in the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of a cutlass.
“I quickly woke my sister up, and we tried to get into their room, but the door was locked. My sister ran outside, grabbed a big stone, and tried to break the door, but it wouldn’t open. Meanwhile, we could still hear our parents screaming at each other. So, we ran to the next house to get help,” he narrated.
By the time they returned with neighbors, silence had taken over the house. The boys who accompanied them forced the door open and found their parents lying in pools of blood. They were rushed to the hospital, but neither survived.
Speculations and Investigation
A resident in the area, who spoke anonymously, suggested that the fight may have been triggered by a gruesome act, alleging that the wife mutilated her husband, leading to a fatal retaliation.
The Ekiti State Police Command, through its Public Relations Officer, SP Sunday Abutu, has confirmed the incident and assured that an investigation is ongoing to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the tragic deaths.
This heartbreaking event has sparked conversations on domestic violence, marital conflicts, and mental health, raising concerns about the hidden struggles within families.

Osun LG Elections: Police Warns of High Security Threats, Advises Suspension
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has issued a strong advisory to the Osun State Government, urging the immediate suspension of the planned Local Government (LG) elections due to credible intelligence indicating significant security threats.
In a statement released on Friday, February 21, 2025, by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the police disclosed that various groups—including political elements and other interest parties—are mobilizing to instigate unrest and disrupt public peace.
Security Threats and Legal Complexities
The joint intelligence reports assessed by the police suggest that allowing the elections to proceed under the current conditions could escalate into widespread violence, endangering lives and property. While the police, alongside other security agencies, are prepared to maintain law and order, the force emphasized that preventive measures would be more effective in ensuring public safety.
In addition to security concerns, the police highlighted the legal uncertainties surrounding the elections. The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has provided legal clarification following the Court of Appeal judgment on February 10, 2025, which effectively nullified the previous Federal High Court ruling. This latest judgment, according to the NPF, reinforces the stance that the elections lack a firm legal foundation.
Call for Immediate Suspension
Given the dual concerns of heightened security risks and legal ambiguities, the Nigeria Police Force has urged the Osun State Government to reconsider and suspend the elections immediately. The statement reaffirmed the police’s commitment to safeguarding democracy, maintaining peace, and protecting the lives and property of Nigerians.
The police also appealed to political parties and all stakeholders to exercise restraint and prioritize the safety and well-being of citizens during this period.
As the situation unfolds, all eyes remain on the Osun State Government to determine the next course of action.

FG to Cancel Visa-on-Arrival Policy, Introduce Landing and Exit Cards
Abuja, Nigeria – February 21, 2025 – The Federal Government has announced plans to discontinue the Visa-on-Arrival (VoA) policy, citing its ineffectiveness. In its place, the government will introduce landing and exit cards, which visitors will be required to pre-fill before arriving in Nigeria.
Rationale Behind the Policy Change
The Visa-on-Arrival policy was introduced in 2020 as a short-stay visa option, allowing eligible travelers to obtain visas upon entry into Nigeria. However, the government now deems the system inefficient and unsustainable, prompting the decision to phase it out.
Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, had previously emphasized that the VoA system would operate on a reciprocal basis, ensuring that only travelers from countries offering similar privileges to Nigerians could benefit. However, recent assessments indicate that the policy has not yielded the desired results, leading to the proposed overhaul.
Who Benefits from the Visa-on-Arrival System?
The Visa-on-Arrival policy was primarily designed for:
High-net-worth investors with frequent business engagements in Nigeria.
Travelers from countries without Nigerian embassies or diplomatic missions, allowing them entry without prior visa applications.
Intending visitors with urgent business or official engagements requiring immediate travel.
New Entry Requirements: Landing and Exit Cards
To replace the Visa-on-Arrival system, the government will introduce a landing and exit card system. Under this new framework:
Visitors must complete and submit their travel details before arriving in Nigeria.
The new system aims to streamline immigration procedures and enhance border security.
It aligns with global best practices, ensuring improved monitoring of visitor movements.
Next Steps
The timeline for the full implementation of the new entry process is yet to be disclosed. However, the government is expected to announce further details and transition guidelines in the coming months.
This policy shift underscores Nigeria’s commitment to enhancing border security, improving visitor management, and aligning with international immigration standards.
