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.

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 […]

Trump Brands Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Groups

US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order designating specific chapters of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon as foreign terrorist organisations.

Christian Genocide Debate in Nigeria Sparks Verbal Crossfire

A heated debate has erupted in Nigeria after renewed allegations of Christian genocide and calls for international intervention. The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has strongly denied claims of Christian genocide, calling such reports “dangerous and politically motivated.” The NSCIA argues that violence in Nigeria stems from poverty, criminality, and climate change, not religious intolerance. The President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Wale Oke, insisted “there is Christian genocide in Nigeria,” referencing attacks by extremist groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, and noting hundreds of Christian victims across Benue, Taraba, Plateau, and other regions. PFN urged President Tinubu to cooperate with US President Trump to root out radical groups, but cautioned against the deployment of foreign troops. This verbal crossfire follows Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and threats of US military […]
