First batch of US troops arrive Nigeria for anti terror mission

The first batch of United States military personnel has arrived in Nigeria to support new joint operations against terrorist groups in the country’s north. Officials say the deployment will focus on intelligence, training and advisory support for Nigerian forces rather than direct combat. Around 200 American troops are expected to take part in the mission, with the initial wave of about 100 soldiers landing in Maiduguri, Borno State. Their arrival followed the landing of US military aircraft in the northeast, delivering equipment and ammunition for upcoming counter terrorism operations. According to Nigerian and US officials, the troops will work alongside the Nigerian military to strengthen operations against Islamic State West Africa Province and other extremist groups. The mission includes intelligence gathering, surveillance support and help with planning complex operations that combine air power and ground troops. The deployment is part […]

Ogba: El-Rufai should face DSS over seized passport

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Chidi Ogba, has urged former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai to report to the Department of State Services (DSS) over the seizure of his international passport. Ogba said there is nothing wrong with making himself available for questioning if he is confident he has done nothing wrong. Security agents recently intercepted El-Rufai at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja after his return from Cairo, Egypt, and confiscated his passport. His lawyer condemned the incident as an attempted arrest without a warrant and described the seizure of the passport as unconstitutional and an abuse of power. Ogba, however, argued that instead of relying only on public sympathy, El-Rufai should formally present himself to the DSS or any relevant security agency to clear up any issues. He maintained that submitting […]

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed February 20, 2027, for Nigeria’s presidential and National Assembly elections.

Under the schedule, governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections will hold on March 6, 2027, two weeks after the presidential and National Assembly polls. The Commission said the early release of dates is to give political parties, candidates, civil society and security agencies enough […]

NNPP insists no link between Kwankwaso and extremists

The New Nigeria Peoples Party has rejected moves in the United States to sanction its national leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, insisting there is no evidence tying him to any extremist organisation.​ NNPP campaign secretary Folashade Aliu said on Channels Television that the proposed bill, which also mentions Miyetti Allah groups, is unjust and malicious. She challenged the bill’s sponsors to present any proof they claim to have against Kwankwaso.​ Aliu questioned why one individual would be singled out in a country of over 260 million people on an issue as sensitive as religion and terrorism. She argued that the focus on Kwankwaso raises serious doubts about the true intent behind the legislative move.​ According to her, even a small fraction of Nigeria’s population in leadership positions would still amount to many people capable of offering solutions to national problems. She […]
