32-year-old vigilante identified as Mujahid Ibrahim operating at Dei-Dei community in Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), accidentally shot himself while trailing a suspect in the area.

According to Daily Trust, the bullets from his rifle injured him around his feet, with at least seven cartridges extracted from his body.

He was said to be awaiting x-ray results for the possibility of more cartridges in his body.

The incident took place around 12 am in the early hours of Wednesday, April2, 2025 when the victim and his colleague intercepted a resident in the neighbourhood, they were guarding for working at late hours.

Speaking at the Kubwa General Hospital, where he was rushed to, Ibrahim said the suspect came around 12 am against the 11 pm, which was agreed upon by the members of the community.

“My colleague, who attended to him, tried in vain to make him understand the rule, but instead for him to cooperate, he resorted to violence and in an effort to scare him, I cooked my rifle pointing toward the sky. I later withdrew the rifle back to my shoulder, but forgot to pull it back and in the process of running toward him as the man was having a scuffle with my colleague, the gun fired out some bullets that hit me around my feet,’’ he said.

Also speaking, his colleague, who accompanied him to the hospital, Ben Isaac, said following the incident, the resident in question disappeared but his elder brother has taken all the responsibilities including the treatment charges.

He added that a 24-hour warning was issued to him to appear or get arrested.

Wisconsin voters on Tuesday elected Susan Crawford to the state Supreme Court, maintaining the court’s 4-3 liberal majority in a setback for President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk, who had backed her conservative rival.

According to New York University’s Brennan Center, the election was considered as an early referendum on Trump’s presidency, and the campaign easily became the most expensive judicial contest in US history with more than $90 million spent by the candidates, the state parties and outside groups.

Crawford, a county judge, defeated conservative Brad Schimel, a former Republican state attorney general and also a county judge, who conceded in a phone call to Crawford and in a speech before his supporters.

Crawford, with 75% of the vote counted, held a lead of 55% to 45%, a difference of some 178,000 votes.

With the balance of the court at stake, Musk and political groups tied to him spent more than $21 million to support Schimel.

Crawford was said to have framed the race as a contest between her and the out-of-state billionaire.

“I’ve got to tell you, as a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined that I’d be taking on the richest man in the world for justice and Wisconsin. And we won,” Crawford said.

An old friend of Tiktok star, Peller has lamented after he credited him N2m.
 
The friend took to social media to lament, saying the money is not enough.
 
The young man had claimed that he and Peller had started shooting contents far back but he made it and left him behind.
 
He said in part:
 
“Abeg make Una help me beg Peller, him don credit me N2M but it’s not enough. Please carry me along. Na me and you dey do videos you dey give me N2M wetin N2M wan do for me? You leave me for Ikorodu I still dey suffer for here…”
