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 […]

US Genocide Debate Tied to FG’s Failure on Insecurity – Hashim

Former presidential candidate and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dr. Gbenga Hashim, has criticised the federal government for what he described as its “shamefully political and dangerously unserious” handling of Nigeria’s worsening insecurity. In a statement released over the weekend, Hashim accused the government of prioritising propaganda and political maneuvering over genuine efforts to protect citizens from terrorists and bandits. “This government treats the blood of innocent Nigerians like a campaign statistic,” he said. “Instead of confronting terrorists and bandits, they issue empty statements and blame imaginary enemies. Governance is not propaganda.” Hashim alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was more focused on gaining political advantage ahead of the 2027 elections than securing the country. “Rather than uniting the nation, the APC is pitching the South against the North,” he added. He linked the recent move by the […]

Suicide Bombing Kills 15 at BNP Rally in Quetta, Pakistan

At least 15 people were killed and more than 30 others injured after a suicide bomber targeted a political rally in Quetta, the capital of Pakistan’s Balochistan province, on Tuesday night. Hundreds of members of the Balochistan National Party (BNP) had gathered at a stadium for a rally commemorating former provincial chief minister Ataullah Mengal, who died in 2021, when the bomb detonated in the parking area.

Finnish Court Jails Simon Ekpa Six Years for Terrorism

A Finnish court has sentenced Nigerian-born Finnish politician, Simon Ekpa, to six years in prison for terrorism-related crimes and other offences. The Päijät-Häme District Court in Lahti delivered the judgment on Monday, convicting the 40-year-old of multiple charges including participation in a terrorist organisation, incitement to commit crimes for terrorist purposes, aggravated tax fraud, and violations of the Lawyers Act. The court also ordered that he remain in custody. According to court records, between August 2021 and November 2024, Ekpa used social media to promote the independence of the so-called Biafra region in southeastern Nigeria through illegal means. Judges said he exploited divisions within a separatist movement to assume an influential role, helping to structure it into a more organised group. The court found that under Ekpa’s influence, armed groups classified as terrorist organisations were formed. He was accused of […]
