Killers of 40 Church Worshippers Sentenced to Death by Hanging

A Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced four men to death by hanging for their roles in the June 5, 2022 terrorist attack on St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State, where more than 40 worshippers were killed and over 100 others injured. Justice Emeka Nwite convicted the four defendants on a nine-count terrorism charge filed by the Department of State Services (DSS), including membership of a proscribed terrorist group, conspiracy to commit terrorist acts, hostage-taking, kidnapping, and killing of worshippers in breach of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act. The convicts are Idris Abdulmalik Omeiza (25), Al Qasim Idris (20), Jamiu Abdulmalik (26), and Abdulhaleem Idris (25), all identified as members of the Al-Shabab terrorist group, an affiliate of ISWAP. A fifth defendant, Momoh Otuho Abubakar (47), was discharged and acquitted after the court found insufficient evidence linking […]

Troops Kill 50 Terrorists, Top ISWAP Commander in North-East

Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East), Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), have killed more than 50 Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists and neutralised a top ISWAP commander in renewed operations across Nigeria’s North-East. According to military authorities, the terrorists were eliminated in a series of coordinated ground and air operations in Borno and Yobe States, where troops repelled multiple attacks on military locations and civilian communities. A failed assault on a military base and checkpoints in the axis led to heavy casualties on the side of the insurgents. In Borno, OPHK troops, backed by precision strikes from the Air Component, tracked and killed a top ISWAP commander described as a key figure in recent attacks and logistics coordination for the group. The sustained air offensive has forced many insurgents to abandon their island enclaves […]

Oyo School Abductions Warning Signs Ignored Locals

Residents of Ahoro-Esinele in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State say several warning signs were ignored before armed men attacked schools in the community and abducted pupils and teachers. Locals told reporters that the gunmen struck around 6 a.m., shortly after soldiers who had been guarding the school area left their posts. They believe the attackers carefully studied security routines and chose a time when the school and surrounding communities were most vulnerable. On the day of the attack, armed men invaded Community High School and nearby primary schools in Ahoro-Esinele, killing at least one teacher and abducting the principal along with dozens of students. Parents and community leaders say more than 40 pupils aged between three and sixteen, plus several teachers, were taken into the bush by the kidnappers.

DHQ details slain ISIS Al‑Minuki’s decade‑long terror network

Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has given fresh details about the decade‑long terror network run by slain Islamic State commander Abu‑Bilal Al‑Minuki, also known as Abu‑Mainok. The senior ISIS figure was confirmed killed this week in a joint Nigerian–US operation targeting his compound in the Lake Chad Basin. According to military and diplomatic briefings, Al‑Minuki had been on the radar of Western and African intelligence services for years as a key architect of ISIS’ expansion into West and Central Africa. Sanctioned by the United States in 2023, he was accused of coordinating funding, training and logistics for Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) cells operating around Lake Chad and deep into the Sahel. DHQ assessments link Al‑Minuki to a web of attacks on military bases, ambushes on convoys, mass kidnappings and cross‑border raids in Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon over the […]

Tinubu confirms killing of ISIS leader in Nigeria–US joint operation

President Bola Tinubu has confirmed that a senior leader of the Islamic State group was killed in Nigeria during a joint counter‑terrorism operation conducted by Nigerian forces and the United States military. In a statement issued from Abuja, he described the overnight mission as a “significant example of effective collaboration in the fight against terrorism.” Tinubu said the operation targeted a compound in the Lake Chad Basin that intelligence services had identified as a base used by ISIS figures to plan and coordinate attacks. “Our determined Nigerian Armed Forces, working closely with the Armed Forces of the United States, conducted a daring joint operation that dealt a heavy blow to the ranks of the Islamic State,” he noted. Early assessments, according to the president, confirm the elimination of Abu‑Bilal Al‑Manuki, also known as Abu‑Mainok, who has been described by US […]

Presidency defends troops’ record highlights gains in anti terror war

The Presidency has rejected growing criticism of Nigeria’s security situation and insisted that the armed forces are making steady progress against terrorists, bandits and other criminal groups across the country. In a statement released on Tuesday, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy Bayo Onanuga said recent military operations in different regions show that troops are degrading criminal networks and rescuing victims despite ongoing challenges. He argued that isolated attacks often dominate public debate and tend to overshadow consistent successes recorded on the ground. Onanuga said operational reports indicate intensified offensives against insurgents, kidnappers, militias and other non state actors, leading to multiple rescues, arrests and neutralisation of threats. He added that the sacrifices of personnel, including those who have paid the supreme price, are frequently downplayed in public conversations. He cited recent operations in Benue State, where […]

Airstrike kills terrorists at Jilli market amid civilian casualty fears

An airstrike on Jilli market, a boundary community between Borno and Yobe states, has killed many suspected terrorists but also raised fears of heavy civilian casualties.

Military authorities said the operation followed sustained intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance over the Bindul Jilli corridor, a known route for Islamic State West Africa Province fighters using gun trucks and motorcycles. According to the Joint Task Force, the airstrike neutralised scores of insurgents and destroyed their vehicles and supplies, disrupting planned attacks on troops in the area.

Nigeria jails nearly 400 over militant links

Nearly 400 individuals in Nigeria have been convicted for their involvement with militant Islamist groups after a series of large-scale court proceedings. Those found guilty received prison sentences ranging from five years to life imprisonment. Authorities linked the convictions to affiliations with Boko Haram and its offshoot, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). These trials come amid growing concerns over insecurity in the country, as the government faces increasing pressure to restore stability. Nigerian security forces continue to confront a wide range of threats, including extremist groups, separatist movements, and kidnapping networks. The Boko Haram insurgency, which began in 2009 in the northeast, has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and forced more than two million people to flee their homes, according to humanitarian organisations. Amid the worsening security environment, the United States recently advised its citizens to […]
