Arrest in 25-Year-Old Bihar Fodder Scam
The Central Bureau of Investigation arrested Satyendra Kumar, a proclaimed offender wanted in Bihar’s fodder scam cases. Kumar had remained elusive for over 25 years. He was named by the CBI in one of the fodder scam charge sheets filed in 2001. After the charge sheet was filed, Kumar absconded, and the CBI maintained a lookout for him for over 25 years. Because he failed to appear before the court to face trial, a permanent warrant of arrest was issued against him. Sustained physical and technical surveillance combined with human intelligence traced Kumar’s location to Nepal. He later entered India and was traveling from Guna in Madhya Pradesh to Lucknow by train. A dedicated CBI team was formed and deployed at Lucknow railway station before the train arrived. Kumar was apprehended around midnight. He is being brought to Ranchi on transit remand. The multi-crore fodder scam comprises 55 cases involving alleged fraudulent withdrawals of around ₹950 crore from the undivided Bihar treasury between 1992 and 1995 through fake bills for fodder, medicines and equipment. Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has been convicted in five fodder scam cases relating to fraudulent withdrawals from the Chaibasa, Deoghar, Dumka and Doranda treasuries during his tenure as Bihar chief minister. The Supreme Court declined to cancel the bail granted to Yadav in 2021. [2]
Nigerian Man Arrested for Trafficking Woman into Ghana Sex Trade
The Ghana Immigration Service in the Savannah Region arrested a 34-year-old man named Prince James for allegedly trafficking a fellow Nigerian woman into Ghana for sexual exploitation. The victim reported the case about a week ago, which prompted the arrest. Officers traced the suspect to a location in Cloth, a mining community in the region. Preliminary investigations indicated that the suspect may be linked to a human trafficking syndicate sexually exploiting young women across West African neighboring countries including Ghana, Nigeria, Benin Republic and Togo. The victim told investigators she was lured to Ghana with a promise of assistance in securing a nursing job but was allegedly forced into prostitution upon arrival. She further alleged that the man demanded N6m equivalent to about GH¢50,000 before she could regain her freedom. The Nigerian woman claimed that the Lagos-based agent who facilitated her travel had misled her about the nature of the job. The suspect was transferred to the GIS national headquarters in Accra to assist with further investigations. The victim was rescued and is receiving support. [3]
Boy Escapes Nigerian Kidnapping Syndicate That Killed His Sister
A 12-year-old boy named David Adedayo escaped from a kidnapping gang in Kuje, Abuja. He recounted how his sister was killed in the forest after their family was abducted from their home. The kidnappers attacked the home on August 23 and abducted David, his mother Mrs. Nancy Adedayo, his sister Damilola, and their maid Jennifer David. Nancy was released an hour later to coordinate ransom payments. The attackers took the family to the master bedroom before marching them out. They told the mother to go and pay the amount of N200m. The group was taken up a mountain and held for days. They continued the same movements for about five days, taking the captives down the mountain and bringing them back up. Jennifer collapsed during the trek and was thrown into a stream. The kidnappers covered her body with leaves, thinking she was dead, but she was not. David’s sister was later killed after seizing a cutlass from one of the kidnappers. She cut the hand of one of them, after which the kidnappers beat her, threw rocks at her, and threw her off the cliff. The boy said the kidnappers then tied him to a tree and left, saying they wanted to go and buy coke but would soon come back. He managed to untie himself from the tree, climbed down the mountain, spent the night near a stream, and the next day met a herdsman. The man led him to hunters, who took him to a village chief. Vigilantes then took him to a hospital in Danfara, Kuje, where his uncles found him. He escaped before any ransom was collected. The Force Intelligence Department Special Tactical Squad announced the arrest of seven suspected members of the syndicate. Acting on actionable intelligence, operatives arrested seven members at Rijana Community in Kaduna State and Sagbon Lugbe in the FCT. The operation led to the recovery of the decomposing body of Oluwodamilola Adedayo in a forest at Tukuba, Kuje, FCT. The family paid N16.2m for a victim’s release, but the kidnappers demanded a further N50m. The syndicate was also linked to the September 24, 2026, abduction of a businessman, Mr. John Ali, in Kuje, who was released after paying N3m and providing recharge cards worth N100,000. The suspects arrested are Ishaka Abdullahi (aka Langalanga), 27; Abdullahi Dabo, 42; Abubakar Jibrin (aka Mai-Laya), 20; Barahu Ibrahim (aka Black), 24; Sani Mohammed, 24; Alidu Lawal (aka De Jaguar), 18; and Yakubu Abubakar (aka Soldier), 28.

Broader Context of Recent Crime Incidents
These cases occurred in separate countries and involve unrelated incidents. In each instance, law-enforcement agencies carried out swift actions that led to arrests and, in one case, the recovery of a victim’s body. The fire response resulted in the detention of one suspect. The CBI operation traced and apprehended an individual who had evaded capture for over 25 years. Ghanaian immigration officers rescued the trafficking victim and took the suspect into custody for further inquiries. Nigerian police recovered the body and detained seven members of the kidnapping group after the boy’s escape provided key leads. [1] [2] [3] [4]
What to watch next: Investigators in Ghana will continue questioning the suspect at the national headquarters while supporting the rescued victim, and Nigerian authorities are examining possible links between the arrested syndicate members and additional abductions in the region.
