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. He directed the Armed Forces and other security agencies to urgently rescue all those abducted during the assault, which was carried out by suspected Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists. The attack left several people dead and many others kidnapped shortly after residents had broken their fast on Wednesday evening. Tinubu described the incident as a heartless and brutal act against innocent citizens and stressed that such attacks would not weaken the government’s resolve to defeat terrorism and restore peace across Nigeria. He said terrorists would never overpower the will of the Nigerian people or the determination of the state to protect them. The President commended the military for […]

Plateau residents lament as serial attacks kill 19, farmlands abandoned

Residents of Plateau State say their communities are turning into wastelands as renewed attacks by gunmen leave more people dead and drive farmers off their lands. At least 19 people were recently killed in coordinated night raids on Manja community in Chakfem kingdom of Mangu Local Government Area and Tangur community in Bokkos Local Government Area. Witnesses said the attackers arrived around 8 pm, shooting into homes and forcing residents to flee into the bush, with many women and children among the dead. Local leaders and community groups say repeated assaults over the years have forced many residents to abandon farmlands, turning once fertile areas into empty fields and bush paths.​​ They lament that crops have been destroyed, harvested produce looted or burnt, and that fear now keeps many farmers from returning to their villages.​​ Community representatives argue that the […]

Gunmen attack Delta APC congress, Ibori Suenu escapes alleged assassination

Gunmen stormed an All Progressives Congress ward congress in Delta State on Saturday, forcing House of Representatives member Erhiatake Ibori Suenu to be whisked away by security operatives in what her camp described as an assassination attempt. The attack happened during the exercise in Ughelli, throwing the venue into confusion.​ Witnesses said the assailants arrived suddenly and began shooting, causing delegates, party officials and supporters to run in different directions. Security personnel at the event quickly moved Ibori Suenu out of the area as gunfire continued.​ No deaths had been officially confirmed at the time of filing the report, but some participants were said to have sustained injuries while trying to escape. Vehicles and other property were also reportedly damaged in the chaos.​ Ibori Suenu’s associates alleged that the attack was politically motivated and targeted at eliminating her because of […]

Ogba: El-Rufai should face DSS over seized passport

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Chidi Ogba, has urged former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai to report to the Department of State Services (DSS) over the seizure of his international passport. Ogba said there is nothing wrong with making himself available for questioning if he is confident he has done nothing wrong. Security agents recently intercepted El-Rufai at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja after his return from Cairo, Egypt, and confiscated his passport. His lawyer condemned the incident as an attempted arrest without a warrant and described the seizure of the passport as unconstitutional and an abuse of power. Ogba, however, argued that instead of relying only on public sympathy, El-Rufai should formally present himself to the DSS or any relevant security agency to clear up any issues. He maintained that submitting […]

Gen Musa: How coup attempt was foiled at planning stage

Defence Minister General Christopher Musa has revealed how Nigerian security agencies foiled a planned coup at the “planning stage”, describing the plotters as a disgruntled group led by a colonel who failed promotion to brigadier general.​ Speaking on Channels Television, Musa said the officer, angered by his failure to meet promotion requirements, began mobilising other aggrieved elements within the Armed Forces, but joint monitoring by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Department of State Services (DSS) and other security outfits exposed the plot early. He explained that this was why the military initially denied rumours of a coup last October, insisting investigators needed time to identify the real conspirators and avoid arresting innocent officers.​ The Defence Headquarters has now confirmed that investigations indicted 16 officers who will face court martial, though Musa declined to name the mastermind […]

ISWAP attacks: Court exonerates DSS over terror suspect’s whereabouts

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has exonerated the Department of State Services (DSS) over allegations that it secretly detained and killed alleged ISWAP leader in Kogi, Yusuf Lukman Omeiza, who was linked to a series of terror attacks. The suit was filed by Omeiza’s relatives, Jimoh Yusuf and Fati Mohammed, who sought declarations that his alleged arrest, detention and killing without trial violated his right to life and demanded 10 billion naira in damages from the DSS and the Attorney General of the Federation.​ Lawyers to the plaintiffs relied largely on claims that the suspect had disappeared after his 2015 arrest in Okene, insisting that security agents must be held responsible. However, the DSS, through its counsel, argued that the allegation of extra‑judicial killing was based on hearsay and tendered documents to show that Omeiza was transferred to […]
