States Rush to Deploy Forest Guards as Insecurity Deepens

Multiple Nigerian states are rushing to deploy forest guards as insecurity deepens across the country, marking a significant expansion of the federal government's Presidential Forest Guards Initiative. The programme was launched by President Bola Tinubu in May 2025 as part of renewed efforts to tackle nationwide insecurity, and has already yielded fruits with over 7,000 newly recruited Nigerian Forest Guards graduating following successful completion of an intensive three-month training programme. Kwara State has deployed nearly 1,000 newly trained forest guards to its hinterlands, declaring war on terrorists and kidnappers exploiting the state's wooded terrain. Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq delivered a blunt message to criminal elements at a passing-out parade in Ilorin: their days of using Kwara's forests as a sanctuary are over, with plans to station at least 200 guards in each of the state's 17 local government areas. The Office […]

Nigerian officials involved in killing of Christians — US Senator Ted Cruz

United States senator Ted Cruz has alleged that some Nigerian government officials are complicit in attacks against Christians in the country.​ Cruz made the claim during a U.S. Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee hearing on Washington’s counterterrorism strategy in Africa, where he described Nigeria as the country with the highest number of Christians killed because of their faith. He said that since 2009, more than 50,000 Christians have been killed and over 20,000 churches, schools and other religious buildings destroyed.​ “Nigerian officials have been, unfortunately, complicit in facilitating these atrocities,” he told the hearing, linking part of the violence to the operation of Sharia law in some northern states and criticising what he called the slow response of Nigerian authorities to insecurity.​ Cruz recalled earlier meetings with Nigerian defence and security officials, saying they had promised to tackle the violence but […]

BREAKING: El Rufai arraigned in Abuja over alleged bugging of NSA Ribadu’s phone

Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El Rufai has been arraigned before a Federal High Court in Abuja over his alleged involvement in the unlawful bugging of the telephone line of National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu.​ El Rufai pleaded not guilty to a five count amended charge when it was read to him on Thursday morning before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik. The case, marked FHC/ABJ/99/2026, borders on alleged illegal interception of communications and related offences.​ Proceedings on his bail application were temporarily stalled midway after the judge observed that a document relied on by the defence team, led by Senior Advocate of Nigeria Oluwole Iyamu, was not in the court’s file.​ Justice Abdulmalik, following an unopposed request by Iyamu, stood the matter down to enable the defence regularise the document and ensure it is properly placed before the court. Prosecuting counsel […]

ICPC raids El Rufai’s Abuja home amid corruption probe

Operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission have searched the Abuja residence of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El Rufai. The raid took place on Thursday while the former governor remained in the custody of the anti graft agency over an ongoing investigation. El Rufai’s media aide, Muyiwa Adekeye, confirmed the operation in a brief statement, saying ICPC officials searched the entire property. His lawyer, Ubong Akpan, condemned the search, describing it as unlawful and a violation of his client’s fundamental rights and due process. ICPC had earlier disclosed that El Rufai was in its custody in connection with investigations into alleged financial misconduct during his tenure as governor from 2015 to 2023. The commission has not yet released detailed information on the specific allegations or items sought during the home search. Before he was picked […]

El Rufai risks two year jail term on new cybercrime charges

Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El Rufai faces up to two years in prison if convicted on fresh cybercrime charges filed against him over the alleged interception of National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu’s phone calls. The Department of State Services accuses him of admitting on live television that he listened to recordings of Ribadu’s private conversations obtained through illegal phone tapping. The three count charge, filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja, is based on provisions of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) (Amendment) Act 2024 and the Nigerian Communications Act 2003. In the first count, prosecutors say El Rufai confessed during an Arise TV interview on February 13 that he and others unlawfully intercepted the NSA’s communications, an offence under Section 12(1) of the Cybercrimes Act. The second count alleges that he knew and associated with the person who […]

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 […]

U.S. bill targets Kwankwaso, Miyetti Allah over alleged religious violations

A new bill before the United States Congress could see former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and some Fulani groups hit with visa bans and asset freezes over alleged violations of religious freedom.
