Inspector Solomon Damark, an officer of the Plateau State Police Command who shot Mr. Nyommena Salah Badapba, has been arrested, disarmed, and detained for disciplinary action.

The State Command, in a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, DSP Alfred Alabo, condemned the shooting of an unsuspecting civilian in the Tudun Wada area of Jos North local government area of the state.

It pointed out that the circumstances that led to the infliction of the gun injury by the recalcitrant officer do not fit into his professional calling but were done out of vindictiveness, which contradicts the attributes of a Nigerian police officer.

The command further directed the divisional police officer, “A” Division, and other officers to visit the victim at the hospital to know his condition and make arrangements for payment of his medical bills.

It added that the erring officer has defaulted and his orderly room trial will commence today, and assured that the disciplinary process would not be compromised and the outcome of the proceeding would be made public.

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala was on target as Al Hilal produced an impressive 4-0 away victory over NEOM, with fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe also featuring in the convincing performance.

Sports247 reports that Oshoala continued her contribution to Al Hilal’s attacking campaign by finding the back of the net in the 65th minute, helping the visitors strengthen their advantage in a dominant display.

The Nigerian forward’s goal came during an impressive second-half performance from Al Hilal, who added three goals after the interval to complete a comprehensive victory.

Moroccan forward Ibtissam Jraidi opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Al Hilal an early advantage before the teams went into the break.

Oshoala doubled the visitors’ lead in the 65th minute before Manar Al-Anzi made it 3-0 just four minutes later.

Jraidi then completed her brace in the 88th minute, sealing the emphatic 4-0 result for Al Hilal.

Christy Ucheibe, Oshoala’s Super Falcons teammate, also played a part in the victory as the Nigerian duo continued to make their contributions to the Saudi Arabian club.

The result represents another important outing for Al Hilal, with the team’s attacking quality evident in the performance against NEOM.

For Oshoala, the goal provides another opportunity to demonstrate her goalscoring ability and importance at club level. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football exports, and her performances continue to attract attention.

The presence of both Oshoala and Ucheibe in Al Hilal’s squad also highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in women’s football outside the country.

With the emphatic away victory secured, Al Hilal will look to build on the performance in their subsequent fixtures.
