Niger issues defence decree as reactions trail Sokoto anti ISIS airstrikes

Niger Republic has issued a new mobilisation decree in response to the recent joint Nigeria United States airstrikes on ISIS linked camps in Sokoto State.

Five Tinubu ambassadorial nominees under scrutiny over past controversies

As the Senate begins screening President Bola Tinubu’s 65 ambassadorial nominees, at least five candidates are drawing intense scrutiny over past corruption probes, audit reports and inflammatory public statements, raising questions about their suitability to represent Nigeria abroad.​ Opposition parties, civil society groups and critics accuse the President of using key diplomatic postings to reward loyalists and controversial figures, particularly faulting the inclusion of former INEC chairman Mahmood Yakubu and several politically exposed nominees.​ Among those flagged is ex National Intelligence Agency Director General Ayodele Oke, who was previously linked to the 2017 Ikoyi cash haul and faced money laundering charges over $43m, £27,800 and N23.8m recovered from a Lagos apartment, as well as a withdrawn EFCC case over $289m allegedly taken from NNPC accounts for “covert operations”.​ Another is retired Vice Admiral Ibok Ete Ibas, former Sole Administrator of […]

Nigerian Leaders Reject US Senator’s Insurgency Sponsorship Claim

Former presidential aide Reno Omokri, alongside a US former mayor and a top Islamic leader, has strongly rejected US Senator Ted Cruz's allegation that the Nigerian government sponsors Boko Haram insurgency. At a press conference in Abuja, Omokri described the claim as "false, unfair, and lacking any credible evidence." He challenged Senator Cruz to provide proof and name any officials allegedly involved, stating that such accusations damage Nigeria's image and counterterrorism efforts. Former Republican Mayor of Blanco, Texas, Mike Arnold, emphasized that Christians and Muslims in Nigeria are united against a common enemy—terrorism. He expressed confidence that US President Donald Trump would be "very amenable" to providing assistance if formally requested by the Nigerian government. The Secretary-General of the Jama’at Nasril Islam (JNI) also condemned the allegations, warning that labeling the violence as a "Christian genocide" is baseless and dangerously […]

US Mayor Questions Nigeria’s Anti-Terrorism Strategy During Fact-Finding Visit

Mike Arnold, the Republican Mayor of Blanco, Texas, has criticised Nigeria’s approach to combating terrorism, questioning why the country seeks financial assistance from the United States while rejecting foreign input on security issues. Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Monday, Arnold said he found Nigeria’s stance contradictory. “I don’t understand why a nation that is mineral-rich as Nigeria has to go and beg for help to save her own people,” he said. “Nigeria has plenty of resources to help her people get at least something where they can help get stability. Displaced people are denied stability, their homes are bulldozed with no warning. It is horrific. You don’t want America to come here and speak on terrorism, but you want their money — that does not make sense to me whatsoever.” Arnold’s comments came during a fact-finding mission organised […]
