Refugees return home as Nigeria–Cameroon repatriation pact kicks in

A tripartite agreement between the Federal Government, Cameroon, Borno State and the UNHCR for the voluntary return of Nigerian refugees from Cameroon has begun yielding results, with displaced citizens now going back home. The deal covers Nigerians who fled Boko Haram and ISWAP attacks and have been living for years in camps such as Minawao in Cameroon.​ Former Senate Leader Ali Ndume commended President Bola Tinubu and the Borno State Government for fully activating the Yaoundé agreement signed in 2017. He said the accord is enabling the safe repatriation, resettlement and relocation of refugees back to communities like Gwoza Local Government Area.​ Ndume also praised the Federal Government for initiating the resettlement process and lauded Governor Babagana Zulum’s administration for spearheading reintegration efforts after more than a decade of displacement.

Troops arrest 65‑year‑old woman over drugs for Boko Haram

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have arrested a 65‑year‑old woman, Hauwa Abulazeez, for allegedly supplying cannabis sativa to Boko Haram terrorists in parts of Borno State. She was picked up in Askira Uba Local Government Area during Operation Desert Sanity V.​ Military spokesman Lt Col Sani Uba said Hauwa is suspected to be a key conduit, distributing cannabis to Boko Haram elements operating around Askira Uba, Rumirgo, Gwahi, Wamdiyo, Uvu and Gaya, as well as several nearby communities. Preliminary investigations indicate she sourced the drugs from Sardauna (Sarti Baruwa) LGA in Taraba State and moved them along established supply routes.​ During the operation, troops recovered 14 compressed blocks of cannabis sativa weighing about 30kg, described as a significant haul meant to sustain illicit activities. The suspect is in custody undergoing further interrogation, while follow‑up operations are underway to uncover and […]

2027: Musawa warns APC against dropping Northern Muslim running mate

Minister of Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, has cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) against altering President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 presidential ticket in a way that removes a Northern Muslim running mate. She said such a move could cost the ruling party vital support across the core North.​ Speaking on Seun Okinbaloye’s Mic On Show, Musawa addressed debates over reviewing the Muslim–Muslim ticket used in 2023. She argued that dropping Vice President Kashim Shettima or replacing him with a non‑Northern Muslim would create serious political complications, given regional sensitivities.​ “If there is no Hausa, Fulani or Kanuri Muslim on that ticket, it creates a hurdle. That is the reality of the way people think,” she said, stressing that electoral politics in the North is shaped by long‑standing social and political structures. She listed Katsina, Kano, Kaduna, Kebbi, […]

Nigeria back on global economic frontline, says Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja after a week‑long diplomatic and economic mission to Guinea and Switzerland, declaring that Nigeria has reclaimed a frontline role in global economic and policy conversations. He represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the inauguration of Guinea’s President Mamadi Doumbouya in Conakry and led Nigeria’s delegation to the 2026 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.​ According to his media aide Stanley Nkwocha, Shettima said Nigeria used the trips to reaffirm its leadership within ECOWAS and open fresh bilateral channels, especially in agriculture and manufacturing. He stressed that the engagements underscored the Renewed Hope Agenda’s focus on regional solidarity and economic repositioning.​ A major highlight was the commissioning of Nigeria House Davos, the country’s first sovereign pavilion on the Davos Promenade, designed as a permanent investment hub for opportunities in solid minerals, agriculture and […]

Gov Yusuf quit Kwankwasiya, not NNPP – party founder

Founder of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Dr Boniface Aniebonam, says Kano Governor Abba Yusuf has resigned only from the Kwankwasiya Movement and not from the NNPP itself. He reacted after media reports that Yusuf had dumped the party along with several lawmakers and council chairmen in Kano.​ Aniebonam argued that the governor’s resignation letter was not addressed to the authentic NNPP National Working Committee (NWC) led by Dr Agbo Major, nor to any recognised party officer. Instead, it was written to a Diso‑Chiranchi Ward chairman who, he said, belongs to the Kwankwasiya Movement and is not recognised by the party’s leadership.​ He stressed that the NNPP is a registered political party, while Kwankwasiya is merely a former pressure group whose memorandum of association with the NNPP has been terminated. According to him, court judgments from an Abia State […]

Vice Chancellor of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye, Prof Ayodeji Agboola says funds for 5,613 OOU students who applied for the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) have already been deposited into the university’s bank account and are ready for disbursement.

Protest rocks Ijebu Ode over alleged plot to impose new Awujale

Indigenes and residents of Ijebu Ode on Friday morning staged a protest over an alleged plot by powerful interests to impose a candidate as the next Awujale of Ijebuland. The demonstrators converged at the Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona Archway leading to the palace and marched towards the Ijebu Ode Local Government Headquarters at Itoro to register their grievances.​ The protest followed a circular issued on January 20, 2026 by the Ogun State Government directing the kingmakers to stop further action on the ongoing selection process. The circular halted moves to pick a candidate from the 95 nominees earlier submitted by leaders of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, including Otunba Lateef Owoyemi (Olori Ebi), Prince Adedokun Ajidagba (Deputy Olori Ebi) and Professor Fassy Yusuf (Vice Chairman).​ The government’s directive, signed by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Ganiyu Hamzat, fuelled […]
