Friday, November 21, 2025 - Personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) was st@bbed to d3ath by a mentally unstable 19-year-old man in Ondo State.
The NSCDC official identified as Babalola
Joseph Idowu, was k!lled on Thursday, November 20, 2025 while trying to
restrain the mentally deranged man, who had been troubling Oke Ala community in
the Oba Ile area of Akure North Local Government Area of the state.
It was gathered that the mother of the
mentally ill man had invited NSCDC officers to apprehend him, as he had been
uncontrollable in the community for several years.
An eyewitness explained that two NSCDC
officials had apprehended the mentally unstable man with the aim of taking him
to a psychiatric facility when he suddenly overpowered one of the officers.
All attempts to calm him failed, and he
overpowered the officer, grabbed the officer’s knife, and repeatedly st@bbed
him before fleeing the scene.
The victim was immediately rushed to the
hospital but later d!ed from the injuries sustained in the attack.
“The boy suddenly became violent. He struggled
with the officer, took his knife and st@bbed him several times. It was shocking
because the officer was even armed, yet he could not prevent the attack,” an
eyewitness recounted.
Confirming the incident, the NSCDC Public
Relations Officer in the state, Daniel Aidamenbor, said the officers were
attempting to take the young man to a psychiatric hospital when the attack
occurred.
He explained that the young man overpowered
the officers, grabbed the officer’s knife, and st@bbed him repeatedly.
Aidamenbor said the officers’ intervention was
intended to protect both the suspect and the community.
