Police Recover Pistol in Ibesikpo

The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has recovered a locally made pistol and apprehended an 18-year-old suspect in Ibesikpo Asutan Local Government Area.

According to a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP TIMFON JOHN, the arrest followed a credible intelligence report.

The statement said operatives of the Command arrested one AMANAM BASSEY ABRAHAM, a male resident of Akpautong Village, who was allegedly in possession of an illegal firearm.

A search conducted at the point of arrest led to the recovery of a locally made pistol. During preliminary interrogation, the suspect claimed that the firearm was given to him by his landlord—whose identity is yet to be determined—as collateral for a loan of five thousand naira.

He also stated that he intended to hand over the pistol to his father for safekeeping.

DSP TIMFON JOHN further disclosed that efforts are ongoing to identify and apprehend the said landlord for questioning.

The Commissioner of Police has praised the officers involved for their swift and effective response as the Command reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to the safety, security, and well-being of all residents of Akwa Ibom State.

April 21, 2025 BREAKING: Pope Francis Dies at 88

BREAKING: Pope Francis Dies at 88

Head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, has died aged 88, the Vatican announced on Easter Monday.

Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father,” Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, said in a statement.

The pontiff had been diminished by a series of health issues in recent years and was using a wheelchair for some of his recent public appearances. In February 2025, he was hospitalized with severe bronchitis and pneumonia in both lungs.

It was one in a long line of health problems for the pope, who had part of a lung removed as a young man and has become increasingly frail over the years. He underwent two major intestinal surgeries in recent years: in 2021, to remove the left part of his colon; and again to treat an intestinal blockage in June 2023.

For the latter procedure, Francis spent nine days in a Rome hospital and was filmed saying “I’m alive” while being escorted out of the hospital in a wheelchair, surrounded by reporters.

Francis, who was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Argentina, was the first Jesuit pope and the first native of Latin America.

His liberal views marked a noticeable break from more conservative predecessors and at times sparked pushback from Vatican hard-liners.

But his legacy is also one of complexities, compromises and contradictions, reflecting his often-difficult position as a progressive reformer in a conservative global institution.
