Tinubu condemns Borno abductions, urges Nigerians to resist fear

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has condemned the recent terrorist attack and mass abductions in Ngoshe community, Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State, and urged Nigerians not to give in to fear. He directed the Armed Forces and other security agencies to urgently rescue all those abducted during the assault, which was carried out by suspected Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists. The attack left several people dead and many others kidnapped shortly after residents had broken their fast on Wednesday evening. Tinubu described the incident as a heartless and brutal act against innocent citizens and stressed that such attacks would not weaken the government’s resolve to defeat terrorism and restore peace across Nigeria.

Middle East crisis: IGP puts police on red alert nationwide

Acting Inspector General of Police Olatunji Disu has placed all police commands across Nigeria on red alert in response to escalating tensions in the Middle East.

In a statement by Force Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin, the police said Nigeria’s internal security remains stable but proactive steps are being taken to prevent any breakdown of law and order. Commissioners of Police in all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, with special focus on the North West, North East and North Central, have been directed to heighten surveillance and intelligence gathering. They are also to strengthen collaboration with traditional and religious leaders, increase visibility policing around worship centres and public […]

DSS files cybercrime charges against El Rufai over alleged bugging of NSA Ribadu’s phone

The Department of State Services has filed cybercrime charges against former Kaduna State governor Nasir El Rufai over the alleged unlawful interception of National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu’s phone communications. The case was filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja, days after El Rufai claimed in a live TV interview that he listened to a tapped phone call in which Ribadu allegedly ordered security agents to detain him. According to court documents, prosecutors allege that El Rufai, 65, admitted during an appearance on Arise TV’s Prime Time programme on 13 February that he and unnamed associates had access to Ribadu’s private phone conversations. The government says the alleged act violates Section 12(1) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) (Amendment) Act 2024, which criminalises unlawful interception of communications. In a second count, the DSS accuses El Rufai of stating in […]

El Rufai demands answers over alleged toxic chemical purchase by ONSA

Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El Rufai has accused the Office of the National Security Adviser, led by Nuhu Ribadu, of procuring an odourless and highly poisonous chemical substance. He raised the alarm in a letter asking the NSA to explain why about 10 kilograms of thallium sulphate were allegedly imported from a supplier in Poland. In the letter, which he shared on his social media page, El Rufai described thallium sulphate as a dangerous and tightly regulated substance. He said information about the procurement had reached opposition leaders and insisted that Nigerians deserve full transparency on the intended use. El Rufai asked the NSA to confirm whether the purchase was authorised, under which law it was made and for what specific security purpose. He also requested clarity on the storage, handling and safeguards put in place to prevent abuse […]

IGP declares banks national security asset orders cyber fraud clampdown

Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has declared Nigeria’s banking sector a strategic national security asset and ordered an intelligence led crackdown on cybercriminals, insider collaborators and cross border financial crime syndicates targeting banks.​ Speaking at a meeting with the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria and bank chief executives in Lagos, he said the police are shifting from reactive responses to proactive disruption of organised crime against financial institutions.

Reps seek tighter defence accountability in 2026 budget

Chairman of the committee, Babajimi Benson, made the call in Abuja as the panel began budget defence sessions with the Ministry of Defence and its agencies.​ Benson described the exercise as a sacred constitutional duty and a key stage in the appropriation process. He said it provides a platform for rigorous scrutiny, constructive engagement and mutual accountability in the interest of national security.​ He praised the Armed Forces and security agencies for gains recorded against insurgency, terrorism and other crimes across various theatres of operation. However, he warned that persistent security challenges show the need for deeper reforms, better coordination and smarter use of limited resources.​ Benson stressed that higher allocations must come with measurable […]

Mahama Launches New Housing Project for Ghana Armed Forces

President John Dramani Mahama has cut the sod for a new accommodation project for the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), signaling a renewed push to improve the living conditions of military personnel and modernise ageing barracks infrastructure. The sod-cutting ceremony took place on Friday, January 23, 2026, at Burma Camp during activities marking the Armed Forces’ end-of-year West African Social Activities (WASSA) celebrations.

Trump says US will take Greenland one way or the other

US President Donald Trump says the United States will take control of Greenland “one way or the other,” warning that Russia or China could move in if Washington does not act. He describes the mineral rich Arctic territory, which is part of Denmark, as vital for US security because of growing Russian and Chinese activity in the region.​ Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump says he prefers to reach a deal with Greenland’s self governing authorities but is ready to consider tougher options if negotiations fail. He argues that countries should “own” key territory rather than rely on leases, and says the United States must be ready to defend Greenland as its own.​ Trump has repeatedly suggested that if the US does not act, Russia or China will “take over” Greenland, a prospect he calls unacceptable. He also […]

Saudi Arabia warns UAE as Yemen rift deepens

Saudi Arabia has warned that its national security is a red line after a Saudi led coalition airstrike on Yemen’s southern port of Mukalla targeted what it said was a UAE linked weapons shipment for southern separatist forces. The United Arab Emirates said it was disappointed by Riyadh’s stance and denied that the shipment contained weapons, saying it was destined for its own forces.​ The strike, which Saudi state media said caused no casualties, hit a dock used to provide foreign military support to the UAE backed Southern Transitional Council, according to the coalition. Yemen’s Saudi backed presidential council head Rashad al Alimi then gave Emirati forces 24 hours to leave the country and cancelled a defence pact with the UAE, accusing it of fuelling strife by backing separatists.​ Saudi Arabia alleged that the UAE had pressured the STC to […]
