Supreme Court Backs President’s Power On Emergency Rule And Temporary Suspension Of Elected Officials

The Supreme Court has upheld the President’s constitutional power to declare a state of emergency in any state where there is a threat of breakdown of law and order or a slide into chaos and anarchy. In a majority decision of six to one delivered on Monday, the court ruled that such a declaration can include suspending elected officials, provided the suspension is for a limited time and strictly tied to restoring normalcy.​ Delivering the lead judgment, Justice Mohammed Idris held that Section 305 of the Constitution empowers the President to deploy extraordinary measures once emergency rule is proclaimed. He noted that the section does not specify the exact nature of those measures, giving the President discretion on how best to stabilise the affected state.​ The case arose from a suit by Adamawa State and 10 other Peoples Democratic Party […]

CSO Asks Tinubu To Redeploy Communications Minister Over Bandits Comment

A civil society organisation has called on President Bola Tinubu to redeploy the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, following his public remarks on how bandits use telecommunications systems to evade tracking. The group expressed concern that the minister’s explanations could embolden criminals and downplay government responsibility in closing security loopholes.​ Tijani had stated on a television programme that bandits and terrorists exploit poor network coverage and employ sophisticated “call hopping” technology, bouncing calls off multiple towers in remote areas to avoid detection. He also suggested that some widely held claims about unregistered SIM cards remain unverified and technically complex.​ In its reaction, the CSO argued that such comments were insensitive at a time when Nigerians are dealing with frequent kidnappings, ransom demands and rural attacks. The group insisted that the minister should prioritise concrete actions to […]

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. The talks follow months of tension over claims by some US lawmakers and lobby groups that Christians in Nigeria are facing genocide, an allegation Abuja strongly rejects.​ Moore, who has been one of the most vocal critics of Nigeria’s handling of attacks on Christian communities, said the latest meetings in Abuja with National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu and other officials were “productive and positive”. He disclosed that both sides discussed concrete actions which, if fully carried out, could significantly enhance security nationwide.​ According to Moore, the emerging framework focuses on strengthening intelligence sharing, improving early warning systems, supporting communities vulnerable to terrorism and farmer herder violence, and tightening accountability for security abuses.

FG Says Detained NAF C 130 Plane 11 Soldiers Still Not Released

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that a Nigerian Air Force C 130 aircraft and 11 military personnel being held in Burkina Faso remain in detention, days after the incident that led to their stoppage. The clarification follows conflicting media reports suggesting that the troops had already been freed.​ The aircraft, on a ferry mission to Portugal, reportedly developed a technical issue shortly after leaving Lagos on 8 December 2025. In line with international aviation procedures, the crew made a precautionary landing at Bobo Dioulasso airfield in Burkina Faso, identified as the nearest suitable airport.​ However, authorities under the Confederation of Sahel States, which includes Burkina Faso, treated the landing as an unauthorised entry into their airspace. The regional bloc subsequently placed its air and anti aircraft systems on high alert and ordered an investigation into the circumstances of […]
