US soldier charged over Maduro insider betting

A US special forces soldier has been arrested after allegedly using classified military information to profit from bets placed before the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro became public. According to the US Department of Justice, the soldier, identified as Gannon Ken Van Dyke, is accused of placing a series of trades on a prediction platform while directly involved in planning the operation that led to Maduro’s arrest in January. Prosecutors say he used sensitive, nonpublic information to anticipate the outcome and timing of the mission. Investigators allege that Van Dyke created an account in late December 2025 and placed multiple transactions linked to political developments in Venezuela. In total, he reportedly invested more than $33,000 and generated profits exceeding $400,000 once the operation was carried out. The military operation, carried out overnight on 3 January, resulted in Maduro and […]

Ex-NATO chief says UK ‘not safe’

Former NATO secretary general George Robertson has warned that Britain’s national security is “in peril”, declaring that the UK is “not safe” under current defence arrangements. In extracts of a speech reported by the Financial Times and BBC, Robertson accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government of “corrosive complacency” on defence. He said the Iran war should serve as a “rude wake‑up call” to the risks the UK faces. “We are underprepared. We are underinsured. We are under attack. We are not safe,” the former Labour defence secretary was quoted as saying. Robertson led a government‑commissioned review of Britain’s defence capabilities, published last year, and was expecting ministers to follow it with a 10‑year defence investment plan. That plan was meant to be released late last year but has yet to appear. He told the Financial Times there was a gap […]

Police dismiss viral Abuja terror alert arrest video maker

The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed a viral video claiming there was an ongoing terrorist attack in Abuja, describing it as false and aimed at causing panic. Force Public Relations Officer DCP Anthony Placid said no such incident took place in the Federal Capital Territory and warned that the video was entirely misleading and malicious. He explained that preliminary investigations showed the clip was edited from different online footage to create a fake terror alert designed to incite fear and undermine confidence in security in the nation’s capital. Police operatives have arrested one Pam Joseph in connection with producing and circulating the video, following credible intelligence and digital forensic investigations that linked him to the content. Placid stressed that while citizens have the right to free expression, that right does not cover deliberate misinformation that can threaten public peace and […]

Marwa urges stronger intelligence sharing to fight insecurity

Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Buba Marwa has called for closing key intelligence gaps as a central step in tackling Nigeria’s worsening insecurity. He spoke at the Army War College Nigeria Interagency Seminar in Abuja, where he warned that the country faces a complex mix of threats, including insurgency and terrorism in the North East, farmer herder clashes in the North West and North Central, secessionist agitations in the South East, and organised crime and drug trafficking in the South South and South West. Marwa said criminals are becoming more sophisticated, using technology, government systems and cross border networks, and insisted that security can no longer be seen as only a military or police issue. He called for a whole of government and whole of society approach that brings together all security agencies and the public. He […]

Gunmen kill two, injure two in Plateau attack

Gunmen have attacked communities in Plateau State, killing two people and injuring two others in the latest round of violence in the area. The attackers struck on Wednesday night, shooting at residents and leaving one woman among those wounded.

Troops kill terrorists, stop kidnappings in fresh raids

Nigerian troops have stepped up operations across several theatres, killing terrorists, foiling kidnap attempts and rescuing victims in different parts of the country. According to military authorities, the coordinated raids targeted armed groups involved in terrorism, banditry and kidnapping. In the North East, troops under Operation Hadin Kai engaged Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters in a series of clashes, neutralising several terrorists and destroying their hideouts. Soldiers also rescued civilians who had been targeted for abduction during these operations. Along the Buratai–Kamuya axis, troops escorting civilians came under attack but quickly received reinforcement from a quick reaction force. The combined team repelled the terrorists, forcing them to abandon an attempted mass kidnapping involving more than 150 men, women and children. In other regions, including the North West and North Central, troops conducted clearance operations against bandits and other criminal gangs. […]

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.
