UN chief reacts to reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has expressed deep concern over reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in joint United States and Israeli airstrikes. Speaking at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, Guterres said he had received reports that the strikes on Tehran and other cities had resulted in the death of Khamenei and other senior Iranian figures, but stressed that the UN could not independently confirm the claim. He described the situation as extremely grave and warned that the world was facing a severe risk of wider regional conflict if all parties did not immediately step back from further military escalation. The UN chief condemned the scale of the U S and Israeli attacks on Iran and urged both sides, as well as Iran and its allies, to respect international law and prioritise the […]

Abductions: Tinubu Orders 24-Hour Aerial Surveillance on Kwara, Kebbi, Niger Forest

President Bola Tinubu has directed a continuous 24-hour aerial security operation over forests in Kwara, Kebbi, and Niger States after a series of mass abductions and rising banditry. The Nigerian Air Force is to coordinate the aerial patrol with ground troops to deter kidnappers, track criminal movements, and enable faster rescue missions for victims. The move follows the recent abduction of more than 20 people—including women and children—in Isapa, Kwara. The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has threatened to pull teachers from unsafe classrooms, demanding urgent government action to secure schools and rescue those in captivity. The United Nations has also called for immediate steps to end the wave of mass kidnappings. Kwara’s governor set up a high-level committee to develop local security solutions, while Kebbi's governor welcomed the safe return of 25 abducted schoolgirls—affirming no ransom was paid, crediting […]

U.S. Lawmakers Question Nigeria’s Will, Capacity to Curb Violence

U.S. lawmakers have sharply questioned Nigeria’s ability and willingness to protect Christian communities and other victims of extremist violence amid worsening insecurity. At a heated congressional hearing, legislators pressed for accountability and urgent action, reviewing Nigeria’s status as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). Congressman Bill Huizenga accused President Tinubu’s government of “sitting back” as insecurity rose. Lawmakers and State Department officials cited mass killings, targeted attacks by radical groups, and criticized Abuja for not doing enough or downplaying the crisis. Concerns were raised about a halted youth peacebuilding program and calls for rethinking U.S. aid to Nigeria. Recommendations included accountability for leaders, deeper scrutiny, and assistance focused on technical support and long-term reforms. Meanwhile, Nigerian officials defended the country’s record, insisting there is no religious intolerance. Coalition groups urged domestic reforms, investigating religious freedom violations, and called for interventions […]

WHO: 840 Million Women Globally Have Suffered Sexual Violence

A new report by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and UN partners reveals that 840 million women worldwide have experienced partner or sexual violence in their lifetime, a crisis affecting nearly one in three women globally—a rate unchanged since 2000. In the past year alone, 316 million women (11% of those aged 15+) faced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner. The report, released before the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, also notes 263 million women have faced non-partner sexual violence since age 15, though this figure is likely underreported. WHO’s Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus called violence against women one of the most “pervasive injustices” and urged governments to scale up prevention, survivor services, and data tracking. However, in 2022, only 0.2% of global aid went to programs addressing violence against women, with support declining further […]

US Pressures Ukraine to Cede Land as Russian Strikes Kill 26

A new US peace initiative suggests Ukraine should cede occupied territories like Crimea and major Russian-controlled regions, slash its military to 400,000, and forfeit long-range weapons—terms described as repeating Russia’s demands and rejected by Kyiv as capitulation. The proposal, reportedly linked to Trump’s administration, comes after deadly missile attacks killed 26 people, including three children, in Ternopil. President Zelensky’s outreach in Turkey failed to win US backing for the plan; while Pentagon officials visited Kyiv to discuss the ongoing conflict, Ukraine’s leaders stressed the need to strengthen defenses and maintain military capabilities. Russia now controls about 20% of Ukraine’s territory, and continues advancing. Ukrainian officials and international observers condemned the civilian casualties in Ternopil. The UN and Ukrainian government called for accountability in Russia’s ongoing campaign targeting residential areas, especially as winter hardship looms.

Nicki Minaj Tells UN: Christians in Nigeria Driven From Homes, Killed

American rapper Nicki Minaj spoke at a United Nations event, claiming Christians in Nigeria are being forced from their homes and killed, echoing recent warnings by former US President Donald Trump. Minaj called attention to burned churches, shattered families, and communities suffering from religious violence. She emphasized that her message was meant to spotlight victims, not to divide, saying, “This is not about taking sides or dividing people, but uniting humanity and standing against injustice.” Minaj also thanked Trump for his leadership on the issue and praised Nigeria’s deep faith traditions and her local fanbase. Trump recently threatened military action, calling Nigeria a “country of particular concern” and referencing attacks by armed groups on Christian villages. The Nigerian presidency rejected the claims, stating violence affects all groups and is primarily driven by land, resource disputes, and criminal gangs. Security analysts […]

Nigeria and UN Sign Pact to Improve Elections and Stability

Nigeria and the United Nations have signed a new Regional Partnership for Democracy, aimed at strengthening elections, political stability, and democratic institutions in West Africa.

Minister Tuggar described the agreement as part of President Bola Tinubu’s vision for boosting democracy on the continent. The Regional Partnership for Democracy Secretariat will operate from Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while a technical team will be based […]

“I’m Most Qualified Candidate for ICJ Seat” — Nigeria’s Elias

Dr. Olufemi Elias, Nigeria’s candidate for the International Court of Justice (ICJ), asserts he is the most qualified contender for the vacancy, citing his combined background as an academic, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General, and judge. “My profile ticks all the boxes,” he told NAN, pointing to over 20 years at the UN, current service as Judge Ad Hoc at the ICJ, and work in high-level administrative tribunals for OPEC and the Islamic Development Bank.
