Al Mustapha, then Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, was charged alongside Mohammed Abacha and Lateef Shofolahan on counts of conspiracy and murder.​ In January 2012, a Lagos High Court convicted the defendants and sentenced them to death by hanging.

FCCPC moves against non compliant digital lenders

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has begun phased enforcement against digital money lenders that failed to comply with the 2025 Digital, Electronic, Online and Non Traditional Consumer Lending Regulations.

Troops repel terrorist drone strikes, maintain battlefield edge

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have repelled terrorist drone attacks during operations along the Timbuktu Triangle in Borno State, maintaining control of the area. The operations were carried out on Sunday, January 18, with close support from the Nigerian Air Force.​ Operation Hadin Kai spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba said troops advanced from their harbour and conducted intelligence led raids on terrorist enclaves in Chilaria, Garin Faruk and Abirma.
