The Edo State Police are searching for a man named Timothy Gilbert who is accused of hurting his girlfriend, Angela Ogah, who is 40 years old. The attack is said to have taken place in Ihovbe Quarters, which is in the Ikpoba Hill area of Benin City.

According to reports, Gilbert poured a dangerous substance on Ogah during an argument and then ran away from the place.

Police confirm investigation

Speaking on Wednesday in Benin, the command’s spokesperson, CSP Moses Yamu, confirmed that officers are actively searching for the suspect.

He appealed to members of the public to provide credible information that could help locate Gilbert, stressing that cooperation is crucial to the investigation.

According to Yamu, the couple had been involved in repeated disputes linked to allegations of infidelity, which escalated into a confrontation before the attack.

Authorities warn against domestic violence

Yamu advised people experiencing relationship challenges to seek peaceful solutions and walk away from tense situations rather than resort to violence.

He stated that no emotional relationship should lead to harm, noting that the command remains committed to tackling domestic-related offences in the state.

Victim receiving treatment

Ogah is currently being treated at a private medical facility, where her condition is reported to be critical but under close supervision.

Her lawyer, John Izegaegbe, has submitted a formal petition to the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Monday Agbonika.

He called for urgent action to ensure the suspect is apprehended and brought to justice without delay.

Residents of the community expressed shock over the incident, describing it as disturbing and unacceptable.

The police have assured the public that efforts to track down Gilbert are ongoing, and further updates will be communicated as the investigation progresses.

Social media users are talking about a video that went viral online that shows Naval Officer Lt. Ahmed Yerima being pulled over by Abuja police for driving with a covered license plate.

According to reports, the event happened at the NNPC Junction on the Kubwa Expressway on November 16, 2025, at approximately 6:15 p.m.

An ash-colored Toyota Camry with completely tinted windows and a hidden license plate was pulled over by patrolling officers.

The officer declines to identify
A policeman can be seen in the video asking Lt. Yerima to provide his identity. The following was said by the officer:

He arrived with a car that had its license plate obscured. He was halted by us. Despite his inability to identify himself, he asserted that he is an officer.

Lt. Yerima was also seen attempting to show his identification card to the policemen, but the police officers claimed they could not see the ID clearly.

The video has attracted waves of reactions online, with users sharing their opinions on the incident.

Police Deny Assault Allegations

The video surfaced amid allegations that Lt. Yerima had been assaulted or targeted.

The FCT Police Command dismissed these claims as false and grossly misleading, stating that the stop-and-search was conducted professionally and in line with standard operational procedures.

Netizens Reactions…

@Akande1046875 reacted: “How many officers in Nigeria do use plate number even nscdc officer no Deh use plate number”

@RedRose1 said: “Something is fishy. The next tussle is going to be b/w the Nig Military and the Police. The hand writing is gradually on the wall. Police Officers have not forgotten the way AM Yerima belittled one of them last time. Lol May that not happen pls.”

@aroman2dollers stated: “Watch him bringing out his identity card. Why are the police officer yelling? Trying to justify to whoever that sent them that they are doing a good job. Does what happened there look like a troubled situation? No! But to score a point negatively.”

@Gerryubz said: “Yerima is too gentle.

He stopped.

He wound down

He identified himself as Army officer

He showed his ID twice.

Some Army officers won’t even do half of this.

Covering his plate is for security reasons especially after the Wike incidence.”

@RuhamahDa said: “The other one see ID card don begin Dey change mouth: You know I didn’t even see am.”
