US deploys small military team to Nigeria

The United States has deployed a small military team to Nigeria to support the fight against Boko Haram, ISWAP and armed bandit groups in the north.​ General Dagvin R.M. Anderson, head of the US Africa Command (AFRICOM), confirmed the deployment during a briefing in Dakar.

ISWAP second in command killed as military steps up Sambisa offensive

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have killed Abu Khalid, the reported second in command of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), during a major night offensive in the Sambisa Forest area of Borno State.​ The operation, launched around 11:00 p.m. on Saturday in the Komala general area of Konduga Local Government Area, also resulted in the elimination of at least 10 other fighters linked to the terror group. A military source described Abu Khalid as a key figure in the insurgent hierarchy, responsible for coordinating operations and logistics across the Sambisa axis.​ The latest success came less than 24 hours after troops neutralised another top ISWAP commander, Julaibib, during a fierce battle around Kimba in Damboa Local Government Area. The back to back blows are seen as a significant disruption of the group’s command structure in the North East.​ […]

Refugees return home as Nigeria–Cameroon repatriation pact kicks in

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.

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 […]
