DHQ, ICRC begin training to identify soldiers killed in combat

The week-long Battlefield Mortuary Affairs Programme began on Monday at the Nigerian Air Force Base in Kaduna and will run from July 27 to August 1. Participants were drawn from the Nigerian Army, Navy and Air Force, with the training aimed at strengthening the military’s response to battlefield deaths and missing personnel. According to officials, the programme will equip soldiers with the knowledge and practical skills needed for personnel identification, search and recovery operations, mortuary collection points, respectful storage and transportation of human remains, temporary burials and cemetery creation.

El-Rufai to file no-case submission as DSS closes case

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is expected to file a no-case submission after the Department of State Services closed its case in his alleged phone tapping trial. The development came during a hearing at the Federal High Court in Abuja. The prosecution informed the court that it would not call any more witnesses, which officially brought its case to an end. El-Rufai’s lawyer told the court that the defence would now challenge the case by arguing that the evidence presented was not enough to require the former governor to enter a defence. The matter has been adjourned for further proceedings, including the filing of the no-case submission. The case continues to draw public attention because it involves a former governor, the DSS, and allegations linked to phone interception and national security.

Otedola’s wife Nana: I am Egba, not Ghanaian

Nana Fatimah Attah Otedola, wife of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola and mother of media personality DJ Cuppy and actress Temi Otedola, has clarified her ethnic and national identity, confirming her Egba heritage. To clear up years of speculation, Nana declared in a viral video: "I'm an Egba woman, and that's the part I'll gladly claim as a Nigerian. I am not a Ghanaian; my roots are in Abeokuta," tracing her ancestry to Abeokuta in Ogun State. For years, many people assumed Nana was Ghanaian, largely due to her appearance and name, but she said this assumption could not be further from the truth. Nana disclosed that she was born in Kaduna State and lived there for almost two decades, explaining that living in northern Nigeria for such a significant period may have influenced how people perceive her identity. Despite her […]

Police report: Bandits launch over 50 attacks in one week

Nigeria’s security challenges have worsened with a new police report revealing that bandits launched more than 50 attacks across the country within the space of one week, despite the government spending about N57.78bn on security. According to the report cited by Punch, the wave of attacks included killings, abductions, raids on communities, and assaults on security formations in multiple states, underscoring the growing boldness and spread of bandit operations. Many of the incidents occurred in rural areas, where residents remain highly vulnerable due to limited security presence and delayed response times. The report noted that, in that one-week period, bandits targeted highways, villages, worship centres and farmlands, leaving scores of civilians dead, dozens abducted, and several others injured or displaced. Some attacks involved the burning of houses and public infrastructure, further deepening humanitarian and economic pressures on affected communities. Despite […]

El‑Rufai, seven others face fresh charges over botched ₦10.8b Kaduna CCTV project

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has filed fresh criminal charges against former Kaduna State governor Nasir El‑Rufai and seven others over an allegedly botched ₦10.8 billion CCTV security project in Kaduna State. Court documents show that the new 11‑count charge was filed at the Federal High Court in Kaduna on 17 April under the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022. ICPC alleges that El‑Rufai unlawfully approved the award of an ₦8.68 billion CCTV contract in December 2015 to Singularity Network Security Limited, a company the commission says lacked the required competence, in breach of procurement laws. The project, meant to provide city‑wide surveillance cameras and related infrastructure, is said to have failed despite billions of naira reportedly released. Others named in the fresh case include former Kaduna government official Jimi Lawal, senior IHS Towers executive […]
