Troops repel fresh ISWAP attack in Chibok

Nigerian troops of the 28 Task Force Brigade under Sector 4 of Operation Hadin Kai have repelled another large-scale attack by ISWAP/Boko Haram fighters on Chibok in Borno State. The terrorists were said to have stormed the area in large numbers, but were confronted by soldiers who engaged them in a fierce firefight.​ Military sources quoted in the report said the insurgents attempted to infiltrate the town from multiple directions. However, the troops’ superior firepower and coordinated response forced the attackers to retreat in disarray.​ Several terrorists were reportedly killed in the encounter, while others fled with gunshot injuries. Weapons and ammunition were also recovered during a mop-up of the battlefield, though exact figures were not immediately disclosed.​ The latest incident is part of ongoing counter-insurgency operations aimed at protecting vulnerable communities in the North-East. Security forces have vowed to […]

Southwest in Joint Moves to Prevent Terrorists’ Incursion into Region

In a landmark move, Southwest governors have launched a joint strategy to prevent terrorist incursion, agreeing to establish a regional security fund, a digital intelligence-sharing platform, and reinforce forest surveillance. State leaders also called for stricter regulation of inter-state migration and action against illegal mining, while reiterating support for state police. At a crucial summit in Ibadan led by Governor Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Makinde (Oyo), Abiodun (Ogun), Aiyedatiwa (Ondo), Oyebanji (Ekiti), and Adeleke’s deputy (Osun), the governors resolved to set up a South West Security Fund (SWSF) under the DAWN Commission, and a live digital security communication channel linking all six states for coordinated rapid response. Forest surveillance and documentation of foreigners and unauthorized settlements are to be intensified, while over 70 illegal migrants were reportedly arrested in Ogun alone. The summit commended security agencies, including Amotekun and NSCDC, for ongoing […]

Nigeria Dangerously Close to Normalising Terror — Ex-Minister Essien

Former Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Chief Nduese Essien, has voiced grave concerns over Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, warning the country is “dangerously close to normalising terror.” In a statement, Essien cited recent coordinated attacks and abductions—including the execution of Brigadier General Musa Uba and three soldiers in Borno, 64 kidnapped in Zamfara, 25 female students taken in Kebbi, and over 300 Catholic school pupils abducted in Niger. Essien argues these atrocities have become daily realities, undermining farming, worship, and general life. He faults the Tinubu administration for lacking urgency and for appointing security chiefs lacking strategic defence expertise. Essien claims politicisation and corruption threaten to erode both public trust and the capacity to fight criminal networks. The ex-minister wants a strategy anchored on intelligence-led operations, strong community security, accountability, and targeting sponsors of terrorism regardless of their social […]

Tinubu Vows to Crush Bandits, Restore Peace in the North

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration's resolve to end banditry and terrorism in the North, stating that no region will be left to "bleed in silence" under his leadership. At the Arewa Consultative Forum’s 25th Anniversary in Kaduna, Tinubu—represented by House Speaker Tajuddeen Abbas—noted his government has inherited a deep and complex security crisis but is determined to address it urgently. He said meaningful progress is impossible while northern Nigeria remains paralyzed by insecurity, calling the North's stability essential for the nation's prosperity. Tinubu praised the ACF for championing northern interests and highlighted ongoing federal infrastructure and security interventions, including transport projects and the anticipated Kolmani oil rollout. He urged regional leaders and institutions to recommit to unity, courage, justice, and collective responsibility to defeat insecurity. Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin echoed that coordinated leadership can overcome persistent […]

Catholic Archbishop Martins to Tinubu: Act Fast, Nigeria Descending Into Chaos

The Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Alfred Adewale Martins, has publicly urged President Tinubu to respond decisively to the surge in terrorist attacks and insecurity across Nigeria, warning the country is descending into chaos. Referencing recent school kidnappings and the killing of Army General Muhammad Uba, Archbishop Martins said these crises echo the trauma of the 2014 Chibok abductions and show that security guarantees are lacking. Martins highlighted attacks on school staff—Vice Principal Hassan Yakubu Makuku and the Chief Security Officer at Eruku, Kwara—and criticized policy gaps that allowed terrorists to kill security personnel and abduct dozens of schoolgirls. He called for urgent identification and prosecution of terrorists and their sponsors, stressing that every citizen is at risk given the brazen level of violence. Martins expressed hope for the safe return of schoolchildren, called for collective prayer and action, and demanded […]

Why FG Hasn’t Prosecuted Terrorism Financiers – Minister

The Federal Government has not prosecuted suspected terrorism financiers because such cases require extensive, delicate investigations that cannot be rushed, according to Minister of Information Mohammed Idris. Speaking on Channels TV, Idris said the process is not as simple as having a list and moving suspects to court; solid evidence must first be gathered. Public pressure remains high, with critics linking delays to government complicity and growing insecurity. While some suspects were identified under past administrations, no high-profile cases have materialized in court, fueling distrust. Idris insisted progress is being made—highlighting that since May 2023, over 13,500 criminals have been neutralized, and 17,000 apprehended—with many already being tried or sentenced for security-related offenses. He called for patience and partnership with both domestic and foreign allies, emphasizing the complexity and diversity of Nigeria’s security crisis and ongoing diplomatic efforts to clarify […]

Pope Leo XIV: Violence in Nigeria Targets Both Christians and Muslims

Pope Leo XIV has stated that both Christians and Muslims are victims of Nigeria’s widespread violence, linking the crisis to extremist groups as well as economic and land-related conflicts. In a widely shared video interview from Castel Gandolfo, the Pope explained that “Christians and Muslims have been slaughtered,” and that danger exists in certain areas for all people, not just one religious group. He identified multiple causes for the bloodshed: “There’s a question of terrorism. There’s a question that has to do a lot with economics, if you will, and control of the lands that they have.” Pope Leo XIV urged the Nigerian government to step up efforts to protect all citizens and promote true religious freedom. The Pope previously referenced Nigeria among the countries where Christians face significant persecution, but emphasized a balanced view, recognizing victims across communities. His […]

IPOB Rejects Nnamdi Kanu’s Life Sentence, Cites Lack of Legal Basis

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has rejected the Federal High Court’s judgment sentencing its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, to life imprisonment for terrorism. IPOB argues Kanu’s advocacy constitutes lawful self-determination, not terrorism—calling the conviction unconstitutional and unsupported by Nigerian law. Spokesperson Emma Powerful stated no arms, explosives, or attack plans were ever linked to Kanu, and stressed that self-determination is protected under international rights conventions. IPOB referenced Section 36(12) of the 1999 Constitution, which mandates that only offenses defined in written law can result in conviction. The group said the judgment failed to meet legal standards and ignored precedent from higher courts. Kanu’s broadcasts and directives on Radio Biafra led to charges, but IPOB insists on international monitoring and calls for a UN-supervised referendum. The group promises continued peaceful advocacy and a detailed legal response.

99 Percent Northern Bandits Are Nigerians

Security and intelligence analyst Yahuza Getso has stated that 99 percent of bandits operating in Nigeria's North-West and North-Central regions are Nigerian citizens. Speaking on Channels Television, Getso noted that the authorities are aware of their identities and locations, emphasizing that most of these criminals are not hiding in remote or hard-to-reach places. His comments follow nationwide outrage after recent attacks, including the abduction of 25 schoolgirls in Kebbi State and the killing of Brigadier General Musa Uba in Borno. Getso suggested that security agencies have the intelligence needed but must act effectively to address the situation. He stressed that increased boldness among bandits and insurgents highlights the urgent need for stronger responses and better counterterrorism strategies in Nigeria.
