ISWAP second in command killed as military steps up Sambisa offensive

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have killed Abu Khalid, the reported second in command of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), during a major night offensive in the Sambisa Forest area of Borno State.​ The operation, launched around 11:00 p.m. on Saturday in the Komala general area of Konduga Local Government Area, also resulted in the elimination of at least 10 other fighters linked to the terror group. A military source described Abu Khalid as a key figure in the insurgent hierarchy, responsible for coordinating operations and logistics across the Sambisa axis.​ The latest success came less than 24 hours after troops neutralised another top ISWAP commander, Julaibib, during a fierce battle around Kimba in Damboa Local Government Area. The back to back blows are seen as a significant disruption of the group’s command structure in the North East.​ […]

Brains behind alleged coup knew the consequences – Defence Minister

Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (retd), says the military officers detained over the recent alleged coup plot were fully aware of the gravity of their actions before moving against the government.​ Speaking in an interview with Turkish public broadcaster TRT, Musa said the suspects “must have made up their minds when they decided to do this and must have considered their families,” insisting they are prepared to “face the wrath” if found guilty. His comments followed complaints from some relatives who alleged witch hunt in the arrests.​ The Defence Headquarters had earlier confirmed that investigations conducted under military procedures uncovered involvement of some personnel in an alleged plot to overthrow the government. It said those found culpable would be arraigned before appropriate military judicial panels in line with the Armed Forces Act and service regulations.​ Musa assured that the […]

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested a Brazil based Nigerian businessman, Uche Franklin Onyekwere, at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, for allegedly smuggling cocaine concealed in his private parts and in the soles of his shoes.

Bandits burn Niger police station, church, abduct five in fresh attack

Bandits have again attacked Agwara local government area of Niger State, burning the divisional police station and a church and abducting about five residents in an early morning raid. The gunmen stormed Agwara in the early hours of Sunday, first overrunning the local police station before setting it ablaze. They later moved to the United Methodist Church in the town, where they burnt part of the building. This is the same area where about 300 pupils, students and teachers of St Mary’s Catholic School were abducted last year. Niger State police spokesperson, SP Wasiu Abiodun, said the bandits invaded the station at about 3:40 a.m. A police tactical team engaged them but was eventually overpowered.

Kunle Afolayan: I’ll only return to cinemas with better promo, fairer earnings

Filmmaker Kunle Afolayan says he is reluctant to return to releasing films in cinemas unless promotional demands become less exhausting and more sustainable for filmmakers.​ Speaking at the Lagos Business of Film Summit, he recalled how he was among the pioneers of the modern cinema movement in Nigeria, doing extensive publicity runs as far back as 2006, including dancing and heavy appearances in London and locally. He said the experience was draining and he no longer wants to repeat that model.​ Afolayan explained that he has new projects ready but is waiting for better, less stressful ways to market them. “I want to make a film if you can guarantee I don’t have to dance to sell that film. We need to come up with other strategies. How do we sell without exhausting ourselves?” he asked.​ He said he admires […]
