Abductions: Tinubu Orders 24-Hour Aerial Surveillance on Kwara, Kebbi, Niger Forest

President Bola Tinubu has directed a continuous 24-hour aerial security operation over forests in Kwara, Kebbi, and Niger States after a series of mass abductions and rising banditry. The Nigerian Air Force is to coordinate the aerial patrol with ground troops to deter kidnappers, track criminal movements, and enable faster rescue missions for victims. The move follows the recent abduction of more than 20 people—including women and children—in Isapa, Kwara. The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has threatened to pull teachers from unsafe classrooms, demanding urgent government action to secure schools and rescue those in captivity. The United Nations has also called for immediate steps to end the wave of mass kidnappings. Kwara’s governor set up a high-level committee to develop local security solutions, while Kebbi's governor welcomed the safe return of 25 abducted schoolgirls—affirming no ransom was paid, crediting […]

Southwest in Joint Moves to Prevent Terrorists’ Incursion into Region

In a landmark move, Southwest governors have launched a joint strategy to prevent terrorist incursion, agreeing to establish a regional security fund, a digital intelligence-sharing platform, and reinforce forest surveillance. State leaders also called for stricter regulation of inter-state migration and action against illegal mining, while reiterating support for state police. At a crucial summit in Ibadan led by Governor Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Makinde (Oyo), Abiodun (Ogun), Aiyedatiwa (Ondo), Oyebanji (Ekiti), and Adeleke’s deputy (Osun), the governors resolved to set up a South West Security Fund (SWSF) under the DAWN Commission, and a live digital security communication channel linking all six states for coordinated rapid response. Forest surveillance and documentation of foreigners and unauthorized settlements are to be intensified, while over 70 illegal migrants were reportedly arrested in Ogun alone. The summit commended security agencies, including Amotekun and NSCDC, for ongoing […]

Nigeria Dangerously Close to Normalising Terror — Ex-Minister Essien

Former Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Chief Nduese Essien, has voiced grave concerns over Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, warning the country is “dangerously close to normalising terror.” In a statement, Essien cited recent coordinated attacks and abductions—including the execution of Brigadier General Musa Uba and three soldiers in Borno, 64 kidnapped in Zamfara, 25 female students taken in Kebbi, and over 300 Catholic school pupils abducted in Niger. Essien argues these atrocities have become daily realities, undermining farming, worship, and general life. He faults the Tinubu administration for lacking urgency and for appointing security chiefs lacking strategic defence expertise. Essien claims politicisation and corruption threaten to erode both public trust and the capacity to fight criminal networks. The ex-minister wants a strategy anchored on intelligence-led operations, strong community security, accountability, and targeting sponsors of terrorism regardless of their social […]

Withdrawal of Escorts: Fear Grips VIPs as Police Plan Modalities

Fear has spread among Nigeria's VIPs following President Bola Tinubu’s order for the withdrawal of police escort services. The move, publicized by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, tasks the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) with VIP protection, freeing police for their core public safety duties. The decision, aimed at confronting nationwide security threats, has prompted uncertainty among influential persons, who question the NSCDC’s ability to provide adequate security compared to battle-ready mobile police units. Police sources cite heavy incoming calls from anxious VIPs, with some likening this shift to “engaging boy scouts,” fearing lower training and operational readiness. Security experts highlight years of resource diversion, with many police officers reassigned from community patrol to escort convoys, leaving neighborhoods under-protected. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) and civil society groups criticize the move as “political theatre” and not a strategic solution […]

Troops Arrest Another Notorious Kidnap Suspect in Taraba

Troops of 6 Brigade Nigerian Army, Sector 3 Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), have arrested another suspected notorious kidnapper, Alhaji Abubakar Bawa, in Taraba State after a coordinated operation on November 23, 2025. Bawa is believed to be closely linked to Umar Musa, a kidnapping mastermind arrested by troops a day earlier in Wukari. Preliminary investigations have exposed the link between the suspects and a wider criminal syndicate believed responsible for multiple kidnappings and violent attacks across Southern Taraba. Brigadier General Kingsley Uwa, 6th Brigade Commander, praised the troops for their professionalism and operational accuracy. Uwa affirmed that the latest arrests signify the effectiveness of Operation Zafin Wuta in dismantling criminal networks and restoring security to communities in Southern Taraba. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and provide credible intelligence to support the ongoing security efforts.

Kebbi, Niger Schools’ Abductions: US to Share Intel, Demands Action

The US government has called on Nigeria to swiftly apprehend and prosecute those behind the mass abductions of students and staff in Kebbi and Niger states. Following a series of meetings between Nigerian and US security officials, both countries agreed to create a new joint counterterrorism working group, increase intelligence sharing, and expedite Nigeria’s requests for arms and defense equipment. In Kebbi, 25 girls were kidnapped and the vice-principal was killed at Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School. In Niger, 303 students and 12 teachers were seized at St. Mary’s Catholic School; 239 kidnapped victims are reportedly nursery/primary children still in the forest. Amnesty International and local organizations warn the attacks threaten educational progress, cause severe trauma, and devastate the future of northern Nigeria.

Is Nigeria Cursed, or Are We the Curse? — Obi Laments Over Insecurity

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has decried the country’s worsening insecurity in a heartfelt post. Listing abductions and attacks over the past ten days—including kidnappings of Defence officials, students, worshippers, and farmers—Obi argues Nigeria’s “chaos” is due to collective leadership failures that have allowed lawlessness and violence to thrive. Obi claims no one, not even those tasked with security, is safe and warns that leaders have chosen “comfort over courage, politics over people, and power over purpose.” He insists the tragedies facing Nigerians—school abductions, attacks on worshippers, and erosion of democratic institutions—are not inevitable, but the result of failed governance. Calling for urgent reform, Obi says Nigeria must rise above indifference and excuses, and leaders must protect every community, child, and citizen. “You deserve safety, you deserve peace,” he concludes, urging Nigerians to demand a competent, compassionate […]
