NAF Airstrikes Kill Terrorists, Bandits Across Borno, Kwara, Katsina, and More

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has intensified counter-terrorism and anti-bandit campaigns across the country, launching precision airstrikes that killed scores of ISWAP terrorists at Mallam Fatori and Shuwaram in Borno State. Strikes also destroyed bandit camps in Garin Dandi and Chigogo (Kwara) and Zango Hill (Kankara, Katsina).

A Child’s Cry: Nigeria’s Malnutrition Crisis Demands Urgent Action

On a sweltering afternoon in Katsina, Fatima cradles her two-year-old son, Musa, in a crowded therapeutic feeding centre. His frail body, barely clinging to life, tells a story that words cannot.
