Burkina Faso frees detained Nigerian aircraft and 11 troops

The Federal Government has confirmed the release of the Nigerian Air Force C-130 aircraft and 11 soldiers who were detained in Burkina Faso after a forced landing.​ The confirmation came on Wednesday night from the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, who said the aircraft and personnel had been released.

Russia to Ban Foreign-Made Military Clothing from 2026

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree prohibiting the purchase of foreign-made clothing and related gear for the country’s armed forces starting January 1, 2026. Under the new rules, all uniforms and other military apparel must be produced by Russian companies with manufacturing facilities located within the country.

The decree aims to fully eliminate the use of imported clothing and materials for military needs. Items covered include uniforms, insignia, underwear, bedding, footwear, special clothing, equipment, and sanitary supplies, all procured through the state defence order system.

Nigerian diplomatic missions in the United States have installed passport printers in New York and Atlanta in a bid to reduce processing delays, the Acting Ambassador to the U.S., Samson Itegboje, announced on Sunday.

Federal Government Urges United States to Consult Nigerians on Visa Policy Revisions

The Federal Government on Friday urged the U.S. to directly and adequately engage Nigerians anytime there is a review of its visa laws, rules, and regulations to enhance better understanding and compliance. The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, made the call when the U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Richard Mills, paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja. Idris called on the envoy to ensure constant engagement with Nigerians on any new changes, considering that Nigerians travel to almost all parts of the world, including the U.S. Idris recalled that Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, the Director-General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), had put out information cautioning Nigerians against the misuse of the U.S. visa. “And because we, Nigerians, travel a lot, it is good that information is shared with us, because these travels are done for tourism, education, […]
