DSS Frees Three Men Wrongly Held Over Banditry Allegations

The Department of State Services has released three men earlier arrested on suspicion of involvement in banditry and kidnapping after a fresh review showed they were wrongly detained. The men were picked up in June 2025 as part of wider security operations targeting banditry networks in the country.​ A special review panel set up by the DSS examined their case and concluded that investigations did not establish any link between the suspects and the alleged crimes. Following this finding, the Director General of the DSS, Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, ordered their immediate release.​ The three men, identified as Umar Ibrahim, Alhaji Bello Rabiu and Jaja Sarki Bamo, were also granted financial compensation approved by the DSS leadership. The payment is intended to acknowledge the error in their arrest and to support their reintegration after months in custody.​ Security sources indicated that […]

Supreme Court Restores Death Sentence For Maryam Sanda

The Supreme Court of Nigeria has affirmed the death sentence imposed on Maryam Sanda for the murder of her husband, Bilyaminu Bello, and voided the federal government’s decision that had reduced her punishment to 12 years in prison. The court ruled that the executive lacked the constitutional power to alter a final judgment of the Supreme Court in a capital case through prerogative of mercy.​ In its judgment delivered in Abuja on Friday, the apex court held that the president’s approval of a reduced sentence amounted to an unlawful interference with judicial powers. The justices maintained that once the Supreme Court has given a final decision in a criminal matter, especially one involving the death penalty, that verdict can only be revisited through the court’s own lawful procedures and not by executive action.​ The court restated that Sanda’s conviction for […]

Cross-border security cooperation ‘stopped Benin coup’

Nigerian ministers have credited fast cross-border coordination with helping Benin Republic crush a recent coup attempt and restore order within hours.​ Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, and Defence Minister, Christopher Musa, explained in Abuja that Benin requested urgent military support after rogue soldiers tried to seize power in Cotonou. They said Nigeria worked closely with Benin and other ECOWAS states, including Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Sierra Leone, to respond before the mutiny could spread or cause mass casualties.​ According to the ministers, Beninese forces remained in charge of operations on the ground, but regional backing was crucial in securing key locations and denying the plotters access to strategic sites such as the airport and national television. Nigeria’s support reportedly included the deployment of Air Force fighter jets to help secure Benin’s airspace and dislodge mutineers from a military […]

Classement FIFA : chute marquée des Éperviers Dames

Le nouveau classement féminin FIFA/Coca-Cola, publié le 11 décembre, apporte un coup dur au football féminin togolais. Après plusieurs mois rythmés par les compétitions africaines et les qualifications pour la Coupe du monde 2027, les Éperviers Dames reculent nettement sur la scène internationale. En août 2025, la sélection occupait la 120ᵉ place mondiale. Elle glisse désormais au 134ᵉ rang, soit l’un de ses reculs les plus marqués depuis 2023, période durant laquelle elle évoluait dans une fourchette relativement stable, entre les 120ᵉ et 122ᵉ positions. Cette baisse s’explique principalement par les performances enregistrées lors des qualifications pour le Mondial féminin. Opposées au Burkina Faso en octobre, les Togolaises se sont inclinées 1-0 à l’aller puis 2-0 au retour. Cette double contre-performance a eu un impact immédiat sur le coefficient FIFA. Le classement met aussi en lumière la dynamique continentale. Le […]

Tigri introuvable : le putschiste serait caché à Lomé

Le lieutenant-colonel Pascal Tigri, à l’origine de la tentative de coup d’État qui a secoué le Bénin le 7 décembre, aurait quitté le pays et trouvé refuge au Togo, selon des informations rapportées le 10 décembre 2025 par Jeune Afrique. L’officier, introuvable depuis l’échec du putsch, se serait caché à Lomé, notamment dans le quartier résidentiel de Lomé 2. D’après une source gouvernementale béninoise citée par le média, les autorités de Cotonou prévoient de saisir Interpol via une notice rouge et de formuler une demande officielle d’extradition. À Lomé, une source proche du président du Conseil, Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, affirme ne disposer d’aucune information confirmant l’arrivée du militaire, rappelant toutefois que les relations entre les deux pays restent bonnes, bien que sans proximité particulière. Le jour du putsch manqué, Tigri était apparu en uniforme à la télévision nationale, annonçant la […]

India deports 32 Nigerians over alleged drug network links

Indian authorities have deported 32 Nigerians after a nationwide crackdown on an alleged transnational drug network operating across several major cities. The deportations came less than two weeks after around 50 Nigerian suspects were arrested in coordinated raids led by India’s Elite Anti Narcotics Group for Law Enforcement, known as EAGLE, working with Delhi Police.​ Investigators say the network was allegedly controlled by a Nigeria based kingpin identified only as “Nick,” who is wanted in multiple drug trafficking cases in India. Officials claim all the Nigerians arrested in Delhi were working for the fugitive mastermind, who is believed to have about 100 associates in the city alone.​ A forensic review of seized phones and laptops reportedly showed a client base of more than 3,000 people across India, pieced together from payment records, encrypted chats and delivery contacts. The syndicate is […]

Nigeria Sahel allies clash over detained military plane and soldiers

Nigeria and the Alliance of Sahel States are giving sharply different accounts of how a Nigerian Air Force C 130 transport plane and 11 soldiers ended up detained in Burkina Faso. The aircraft made an emergency landing in Bobo Dioulasso on Monday, but the incident has now triggered a wider diplomatic dispute over alleged airspace violations.​ The Alliance of Sahel States which includes Burkina Faso Mali and Niger insists the Nigerian plane entered its airspace without permission and was forced to land. In a joint statement the bloc called the episode a serious breach of sovereignty and said its air and anti aircraft defences have been placed on high alert with orders to neutralise any further unauthorised flights.​ Nigerian authorities reject the accusation and say the C 130 crew diverted to Bobo Dioulasso only after detecting a technical fault while […]

Chippa United worried over Nwabali’s fitness for AFCON

Super Eagles first choice goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali is a major doubt for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco after fresh concerns over his fitness. Chippa United head coach Vusimuzi Vilakazi revealed that the 28 year old is nursing both an ankle problem and a more serious hand injury that may require surgery.​ Vilakazi said the injuries were made worse during Nwabali’s recent outing with the Super Eagles. He warned that the keeper “could miss out” on the tournament, describing his availability as a huge doubt for Nigeria.​ Nwabali has not played for Chippa United since Nigeria’s AFCON playoff defeat to DR Congo on penalties last month. His continued absence from club duty and medical reports pointing to a possible operation have increased fears that he will not be ready before the competition kicks off in Rabat on December […]
