Ndume hails Tinubu on security, urges northern govs to emulate Zulum

Former Senate Leader Ali Ndume has praised President Bola Tinubu’s approach to tackling insecurity, saying recent military gains show that his strategies are beginning to yield results. He noted that coordinated operations by the armed forces and other security agencies have led to the killing and arrest of bandits and terrorists across several northern states in recent weeks.​ Ndume singled out Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum for special commendation, describing him as a model for other northern governors. He said Zulum’s constant presence in rural communities, investment in local security outfits and support for the military have greatly complemented federal efforts against insurgents.​ The senator urged other northern governors to adopt a more hands on style similar to Zulum’s by regularly visiting troubled areas, supporting security agencies and addressing the root causes of violence. He argued that stronger cooperation between […]

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.

UN: Nigeria Lost $10bn to Northeast Conflict

A United Nations study has revealed that Nigeria lost an estimated $10 billion due to the decade-long conflict in the Northeast. The disclosure was made by the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) during the launch of a reintegration program in Maiduguri. The agency stated that the insurgency not only shrank the national economy but also crippled the income and earning potential of families and young people in the region. To address this, UNICEF has launched a program to support over 1,000 children affected by the conflict. The initiative provides vocational training in skills like tailoring, ICT, and carpentry, alongside psychosocial support. The program aims to restore "hope, dignity, and opportunity" to adolescents, helping them build sustainable livelihoods and contribute to the recovery and resilience of their communities.

UNICEF, Borno to Train 1,033 Conflict-Affected Children

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), in partnership with the Borno State Government, has launched a vocational training program for 1,033 children affected by the armed conflict in the Northeast. The initiative, launched in Maiduguri, aims to equip the children, including 466 girls, with practical skills to rebuild their lives. They will receive training in tailoring, ICT, car mechanics, shoemaking, and carpentry at centers across the state. A UNICEF representative stated that the prolonged insurgency has denied many children the chance to learn skills or pursue their dreams. The program is designed to restore "hope, dignity, and opportunity" by combining vocational training with life skills and psychosocial support. The Borno State Commissioner for Education commended UNICEF for the initiative, highlighting its importance for children who were previously abducted and forced into roles by insurgents.

Borno’s Kirawa Community Pleads for Soldiers After Boko Haram Attacks

Residents of Kirawa community in Borno State are pleading for the deployment of soldiers after a series of devastating Boko Haram attacks destroyed homes, businesses, and left several people dead. The community, located near the Cameroon border, has suffered three major attacks. The most recent one, last Monday, resulted in two deaths. The terrorists burned down the district head's palace, about 50 houses and shops, and even destroyed heavy road-grading equipment. A resident, Mohammed Abubakar, explained that the absence of Cameroonian Multinational Joint Task Force soldiers, who were dislodged a month ago, has left them vulnerable. He revealed that people were so fearful they had been fleeing to Cameroon to sleep at night before Governor Babagana Zulum mobilized local vigilantes. Other residents, including a mother of nine, Zara Mohammed, echoed the call for a permanent military presence to stop the […]

Boko Haram Attack in Borno: Two Dead, Palace Burnt

Armed Boko Haram fighters on Monday night invaded Kirawa, a border community in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State, killing one civilian and abducting another. The insurgents also set fire to several houses, shops, and the palace of the District Head, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abubakar. Residents fled into neighbouring Cameroonian communities for safety. Local vigilantes, including members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) and hunters, helped repel the assault, reportedly killing one of the attackers. Kirawa has been a frequent target of Boko Haram. Just three days earlier, insurgents ambushed travellers along the Kirawa-Pulka road, killing a CJTF member and burning six vehicles. Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Southern Borno, confirmed Tuesday’s incident and expressed deep concern over the renewed violence.“The attacks are frustrating, especially for many resilient IDPs who only recently returned to their ancestral homes with the […]
