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 […]

US never targeted me in Sokoto airstrikes, says Gumi

Kaduna based Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has dismissed reports that he was targeted by the United States during recent joint Nigeria US airstrikes on terrorist camps in Sokoto State. He described the claims as fake news, explaining that people had misinterpreted an old video in which he spoke about threats to his life more than a decade ago.​ Gumi said the viral clip being shared online referred to an incident in August 2012, when he was allegedly marked for assassination by Boko Haram near his residence. According to him, two suspected attackers died after the explosive device they were carrying reportedly detonated before they could reach him, and the episode had nothing to do with the latest air operations in Sokoto.​ In a statement posted on his official social media page, the cleric insisted he never suggested that US […]

Nigeria : frappes américaines contre l’État islamique

Les États-Unis ont procédé, le jeudi 25 décembre, à plusieurs frappes ciblées contre des positions de l’organisation État islamique au Nigeria. L’annonce a été faite par le président américain Donald Trump sur son réseau Truth Social, marquant la première opération militaire américaine dans ce pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest depuis son retour à la présidence. Selon Washington, ces frappes visent à répondre aux violences attribuées aux groupes djihadistes, notamment contre des communautés chrétiennes. Le département américain de la Défense a diffusé sur les réseaux sociaux une courte séquence vidéo montrant le tir nocturne d’un missile depuis un navire de guerre américain. Les autorités américaines précisent que ces opérations ont été menées à la demande du gouvernement nigérian, dans le cadre d’une coopération sécuritaire bilatérale. Le secrétaire à la Défense, Pete Hegseth, a salué la collaboration des autorités d’Abuja et souligné la […]

US Nigeria Near Security Deal After Christian Genocide Row

The Federal Government and a visiting United States congressional delegation led by Congressman Riley Moore are close to finalising a new strategic framework to address insecurity across Nigeria. The talks follow months of tension over claims by some US lawmakers and lobby groups that Christians in Nigeria are facing genocide, an allegation Abuja strongly rejects.​ Moore, who has been one of the most vocal critics of Nigeria’s handling of attacks on Christian communities, said the latest meetings in Abuja with National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu and other officials were “productive and positive”. He disclosed that both sides discussed concrete actions which, if fully carried out, could significantly enhance security nationwide.​ According to Moore, the emerging framework focuses on strengthening intelligence sharing, improving early warning systems, supporting communities vulnerable to terrorism and farmer herder violence, and tightening accountability for security abuses. […]

Boko Haram has lasted longer than civil war Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says the Boko Haram insurgency has now lasted for about 15 years, making it longer than the Nigerian civil war. He described the prolonged conflict as a serious failure in addressing insecurity and development challenges in the country.​ Obasanjo spoke while comparing the three year civil war to the insurgency which began around 2009 and has continued despite several military operations. He said the situation shows that Nigeria has not tackled the root causes of extremism, including poverty, unemployment and poor governance.​ He also warned that long running conflicts weaken national unity and drain resources that should be used for education, health and infrastructure. Obasanjo called for a comprehensive approach that combines security action with dialogue, economic opportunities and community based solutions.​ The former president urged current leaders to learn from past mistakes and design policies […]

Buratai rejects ‘fabricated’ terrorism financing allegation

Former Chief of Army Staff and ex Ambassador to Benin Republic, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai (rtd), has firmly denied claims that he is connected in any way to terrorism financing, describing the allegation as entirely fabricated and inconsistent with his record of fighting terrorism.​ In a statement issued on his behalf by former Army spokesperson Brig Gen Sani Kukasheka Usman, Buratai said the online report linking him and other prominent Nigerians to terror financiers is false, unfounded and a smear campaign aimed at tarnishing his name.​ The statement stressed that at no time in his career has any official body questioned, investigated or indicted him over terrorism financing, adding that no security agency, intelligence service, court, diplomatic mission or oversight body has ever associated him with such offences.​ It accused Sahara Reporters of relying solely on unverified personal claims by […]

NAF airstrikes crush terror cells in Katsina, foil ISWAP attack in Borno

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says its fighter jets have destroyed key terror cells in Katsina State and helped to repel a coordinated Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP)/Boko Haram attack in Borno. NAF spokesperson Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame said the operations were carried out through intelligence‑driven precision strikes under Operation Fansan Yamma and Operation Hadin Kai.​ According to him, two separate strikes were launched on November 27 in Katsina under Sector 2 of Operation Fansan Yamma. The first, around 6:30 a.m., targeted the fortified base of a notorious terrorist kingpin linked to serial kidnappings, violent attacks and livestock rustling across Kankara, Faskari and Malumfashi Local Government Areas, with real‑time ISR guiding precision munitions that destroyed the camp and hit fleeing fighters.​ A second strike around 5:55 p.m. hit another major terrorist enclave in Danfako, Faskari LGA, taking out logistics […]

Protest hits Madrid over kidnappings of Nigerian schoolchildren

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the Nigerian embassy in Madrid on Saturday to protest the wave of school kidnappings in Nigeria and demand stronger international and domestic action. The rally was sparked by the abduction of more than 250 students from a Catholic school in northern Nigeria last week, which rights groups say is part of a years‑long pattern of mass student kidnappings.​ Christiana Wariboko, president of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, told the crowd they were speaking “on behalf of Christians” and urged foreign governments and institutions to intervene over what she described as continued killings of Nigerian Christians. The Madrid protest also highlighted a separate attack on a predominantly Muslim school in Kebbi State, where 30 students were seized before being freed by authorities, underscoring that kidnappers target schools of different faiths, often for ransom.​ The demonstrations […]

Troops repel fresh ISWAP attack in Chibok

Nigerian troops of the 28 Task Force Brigade under Sector 4 of Operation Hadin Kai have repelled another large-scale attack by ISWAP/Boko Haram fighters on Chibok in Borno State. The terrorists were said to have stormed the area in large numbers, but were confronted by soldiers who engaged them in a fierce firefight.​ Military sources quoted in the report said the insurgents attempted to infiltrate the town from multiple directions. However, the troops’ superior firepower and coordinated response forced the attackers to retreat in disarray.​ Several terrorists were reportedly killed in the encounter, while others fled with gunshot injuries. Weapons and ammunition were also recovered during a mop-up of the battlefield, though exact figures were not immediately disclosed.​ The latest incident is part of ongoing counter-insurgency operations aimed at protecting vulnerable communities in the North-East.
