The Nasarawa State Police Command has arrested a 55 year-old man for sexually abusing a 7 year-old boy.
The man identified as Isa Musa is alleged to have lured the young boy to an uncompleted building after giving him N100.
In a statement made available to newsmen, the spokesman of the command, ASP Ismaila Numa, said Musa of Gidi-Gidi, along Shinge market, forcefully abused the minor at the uncompleted building.
A former Air Force chief who has been under house arrest for his role in the $2.1b arms procurement scandal has regained his freedom after returning N66m out of the N90m traced to him.
The officer who was detained at Niger Barracks, Abuja was freed to go and look for the balance of N24m.
Other officers being detained with the Air Force chief at the same facility were not accorded the same privilege because of their uncooperative attitude with the EFCC operatives.
One of the detained officers, an Air Vice Marshal, is said to be the leader of the team that bought aircraft with incomplete parts and also inflated the price from $6 million to over $30 million.
The Air Force High Command had, on Thursday, removed some officers including Air Officers Commanding and Principal Staff Officers fingered in the arms deal and appointed new ones in their place.

The Coalition of Civil Society Groups has written a protest letter to President Muhammadu Buhari over the sack of the Vice Chancellors of the twelve federal universities established by the Goodluck Jonathan administration and the National Open University of Nigeria, NOUN.
In the petition, the group said that the President's action contravened the provisions of the Universities (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act No.11 of 1993 (as amended) by decree No.25, 1996 and further amended in 2003 and 2012 respectively and other agreements as contained in the 2009 FGN staff union agreement.
They pointed out that four of the twelve new Vice Chancellors were appointed from the Bayero University, Kano in contravention of the Federal Character principle.
“While this does not come as a surprise owing to the influence of one of the Special Advisers to the Minister of Education in orchestrating the appointments of his friends and cronies without following due process, we are, however, concerned about the constitutional breach and the resultant litigation battle this action may cause, which in turn may generate unnecessary distractions to your focused administration.
“While we are not unmindful of the fact that you would have acted on the recommendation of the Minister of Education in approving their removal, it is pertinent to know that in the pursuit of ambition driven by unguided passion and greed, impunity becomes inevitable as the end irrespective of the means is all that matters and in this case, the removal of these Vice Chancellors is the outcome of an unguided passion and greed by the Minister of Education and his Special Adviser.
“The constitution is quite clear on the procedures to be followed in the appointment and disengagement of Vice Chancellors and none of these procedures were followed in the above case.
“The appointment of Vice Chancellors is a tenured appointment, which presupposes that every appointee is expected to serve the prescribed number of years as stipulated by the Acts governing the institutions.”
However, the Secretary-General, Committee of Vice-Chancellors (CVC), Prof Michael Faborode told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN on Saturday that it is unfair to say that the VCs were sacked since their tenures of office will expire on Feb. 15, 2016.
“The tenure of the vice-chancellors of nine of these universities expires on Feb. 15. It will be unfair to say that they were sacked; they have exhausted their tenure; when your tenure is not renewed; it does not mean you are sacked. I do not know the reasons why the vice-chancellors of the other three universities were affected,” he said.
The Vice Chancellors of the twelve federal universities established by the Goodluck Jonathan administration have been removed from office.
Also fired was the Vice Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria, Prof Vincent Tenebe.
No reason was given for the action but in a short statement issued on Friday, Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu said that new VCs have been appointed for the affected universities.
“The President, Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and Visitor to all federal universities, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has approved the appointment of new vice chancellors for the 12 under-listed Federal Universities and the National open University of Nigeria with effect from Friday, February 12,2016.”
Under the new arrangements, Prof Tenebe is being replaced by Professor Abdallah Uba Adamu, formerly of the Department of Mass Communication, Bayero University, Kano.
Prof Auwal Yadudu of the Faculty of Law, Bayero University, Kano has become
the new Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Birnin Kebbi.
In the same vein, Prof Kayode Soremekhun, former head of the Department of International Relations at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife,
is the new Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, while Prof. Fatima Batoul Muktar, formerly of the Department of Biology, North West University, Kano has become the Vice Chancellor of Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State.
Other appointments include
Prof. Haruna Abdu Kaita, Federal University, Dutsin Ma , Katsina State; Prof. Andrew Haruna, Federal University, Gashua, Yobe State;Prof. Magaji Garba, Federal University, Gusau, Zamfara State; Prof. Alhassan Mohammed Gani, Federal University, Kashere , Gombe State; Prof. Muhammad SanusiLiman, Federal University, Lafia;Prof. Angela Freeman Miri, Federal University, Lokoja; Prof.Chinedum Nwajiuba, Federal University, Ndifu-Alike, Ebonyi State; Prof. Seth Accra Jaja, Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State.
A gay marriage ceremony was last week disrupted by police in Jiwa, a suburb in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The gay couple was tying the nuptial knot at the popular King's Land Hotel in Jiwa when the police got wind of the event and swooped on the event.
An eyewitness said that guests were already seated awaiting the commencement of the gay marriage when the police arrived and arrested the couple.
The owner of the hotel and other key players at the event were also arrested.
The gay couple was identified as Abdul Lawal and Umar Tahir while Abubakar Tahir and Mohammed Sani were the sponsors.
Under a bill signed into law by former President Goodluck Jonathan on January 7, 2014, anybody involved in a gay relationship is liable to 14 years imprisonment on conviction.
The Nigerian Army has released 275 persons who had been in detention on suspicion of being Boko Haram terrorists.
The Head of Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj. Gen. Hassan Umaru, disclosed this on Friday while handing over the suspects to the Borno State Government.
He said that the suspects were released because they were found to have no connection with the terrorist group, Boko Haram.
“In line with the principle of justice, equity and fairness, we released them to their families.
“I am confident that the detainees will be ambassadors to the Nigerian military,” he said.
The released detainees including two Nigeriens and two Camerounians comprise of 142 males, 49 females, 22 under-aged male, and 50 female children.
