Turji Alleges Two Ex Governors Are Fuelling Insecurity

Notorious bandit leader Bello Turji has claimed in a viral video that two former governors from Zamfara and Sokoto states bear major responsibility for the insecurity ravaging parts of northern Nigeria. He accused the past administrations of laying the groundwork for today’s violence through decisions he said worsened tensions and communal distrust.​ Turji alleged that the former leaders armed local vigilante groups, popularly called Yan Banga, in ways that he claims targeted Fulani communities and escalated reprisals. According to him, those policies turned what should have been community protection initiatives into forces that deepened ethnic and social divisions.​ In the same video, Turji addressed controversy over his past contacts with the Zamfara State government when Bello Matawalle, now Minister of State for Defence, was governor. He admitted taking part in peace talks with the then administration but denied receiving a […]

CSO Asks Tinubu To Redeploy Communications Minister Over Bandits Comment

A civil society organisation has called on President Bola Tinubu to redeploy the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, following his public remarks on how bandits use telecommunications systems to evade tracking. The group expressed concern that the minister’s explanations could embolden criminals and downplay government responsibility in closing security loopholes.​ Tijani had stated on a television programme that bandits and terrorists exploit poor network coverage and employ sophisticated “call hopping” technology, bouncing calls off multiple towers in remote areas to avoid detection. He also suggested that some widely held claims about unregistered SIM cards remain unverified and technically complex.​ In its reaction, the CSO argued that such comments were insensitive at a time when Nigerians are dealing with frequent kidnappings, ransom demands and rural attacks. The group insisted that the minister should prioritise concrete actions to […]

FG Says Detained NAF C 130 Plane 11 Soldiers Still Not Released

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that a Nigerian Air Force C 130 aircraft and 11 military personnel being held in Burkina Faso remain in detention, days after the incident that led to their stoppage. The clarification follows conflicting media reports suggesting that the troops had already been freed.​ The aircraft, on a ferry mission to Portugal, reportedly developed a technical issue shortly after leaving Lagos on 8 December 2025. In line with international aviation procedures, the crew made a precautionary landing at Bobo Dioulasso airfield in Burkina Faso, identified as the nearest suitable airport.​ However, authorities under the Confederation of Sahel States, which includes Burkina Faso, treated the landing as an unauthorised entry into their airspace. The regional bloc subsequently placed its air and anti aircraft systems on high alert and ordered an investigation into the circumstances of […]

Accord Crisis Deepens As Faction Picks Bamigbola As Osun Guber Candidate

In a new twist to the unfolding drama within the Accord Party in Osun State, a faction of the party has elected Bamigbola as its governorship candidate for the 2026 election. The primary, held on Sunday, reportedly drew about 300 delegates from across the state who endorsed him as their preferred flagbearer.​ This move comes only days after Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke was declared winner of another Accord governorship primary for the same 2026 poll.

While the Adeleke camp enjoys visible backing from the national leadership, the Bamigbola group insists its process reflects the […]
