Police declare VIP escorts illegal, order arrest of erring officers

The Nigeria Police Force has ordered the arrest of any police officer found providing private escort or guard services to VIPs, declaring such duties illegal under a new nationwide directive.​ The order, issued through a confidential wireless message signed by the Inspector General of Police, directs all state commands and specialised units to immediately enforce the ban on unauthorised VIP security details.​ According to the directive, any officer caught escorting a VIP outside officially approved assignments will be arrested on the spot, while supervising officers who fail to ensure compliance will face disciplinary action.​ The memo limits enforcement to designated units such as the Compol X-Squad and the IGP Monitoring Unit, and stresses strict monitoring and reporting across all police formations nationwide.​ Police authorities said the move follows a presidential directive to withdraw police personnel from VIP protection so that […]

EU seals deal to end Russian gas imports by autumn 2027

The European Union has reached a political deal to ban all imports of Russian natural gas by autumn 2027 as part of efforts to cut off a major source of funding for Moscow’s war in Ukraine.​ The agreement, struck between EU member states and the European Parliament, sets a binding timeline to phase out both pipeline gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia after years of dependence on its supplies.​ Under the deal, long-term LNG contracts with Russian suppliers will be banned from January 1, 2027, while new long-term pipeline gas contracts will be prohibited from September 30, 2027, at the latest by November 1, 2027, depending on storage levels.​ Short-term contracts will be phased out earlier, with LNG contracts ending from April 25, 2026, and short-term pipeline gas deals stopping from June 17, 2026.​ EU Energy Commissioner Dan […]

Kremlin open to multiple Ukraine talks with US

The Kremlin has said Russia is ready to hold as many rounds of talks with the United States as necessary on the war in Ukraine following recent high-level contacts between the two countries.​ Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that no single meeting could solve all issues, but stressed that Moscow was prepared to continue discussions if Washington showed “political will” to seek a settlement.​ Peskov repeated Russia’s position that any negotiations must take account of what it calls “new realities on the ground”, a reference to Ukrainian territories claimed and occupied by Russian forces.​ He also argued that the involvement of the US and other Western states in supplying weapons to Kyiv was prolonging the conflict, while insisting that Moscow remained open to dialogue on security guarantees and broader stability in Europe.​ The comments come amid renewed diplomatic activity […]

CBN scraps cash deposit limits, raises withdrawal cap

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has scrapped all limits on cash deposits in banks, reversing earlier cash-tightening measures and giving customers more freedom to lodge any amount of money into their accounts.​ At the same time, the apex bank has raised the cumulative weekly cash withdrawal limit across all channels to 500,000 naira for individuals and 5 million naira for corporate account holders, effective from January 1, 2026.​ Withdrawals above these new thresholds will attract extra charges, with individuals paying a 3 percent fee and corporate bodies paying 5 percent on the excess amounts withdrawn.​ The CBN explained that earlier cash policies were introduced to cut cash usage and promote electronic payments but said there is now a need to streamline the rules to match current economic realities and improve liquidity.​ Under the revised framework, daily ATM withdrawals are […]

US halts immigration applications from 19 countries

The United States government has announced a temporary halt to immigration applications from 19 countries, citing security, documentation, and cooperation concerns with the affected states.​ US officials said the move targets countries that have failed to meet required standards on identity verification, information sharing, or the repatriation of their citizens who are ordered to leave the US.​ The suspension affects several categories of immigration, including some family-based, work-related, and other visa programmes, although limited exemptions may apply for humanitarian or urgent cases.​ Authorities stressed that the measure is under ongoing review and could be lifted once the listed countries improve cooperation on security checks, travel documents, and migration management.​ Governments of the affected nations have been formally notified and urged to work with US agencies to resolve outstanding issues and restore full immigration processing as soon as possible.

NATO allies plan big new US arms buys for Ukraine

NATO allies have pledged to make major new purchases of United States-made weapons and equipment to strengthen Ukraine’s defences as the war with Russia continues.​ Defence ministers and senior officials from several member states signalled plans to sign fresh contracts for air defence systems, artillery, drones, and ammunition, saying Ukraine still urgently needs long-term military support.​ The new commitments are expected to run into billions of dollars and will focus on replenishing Ukraine’s stocks while also rebuilding allied arsenals that have been depleted by previous transfers to Kyiv.​ Officials said the purchases would be arranged through joint procurement schemes and direct national orders, with the aim of speeding up deliveries and ensuring greater coordination across the alliance.​ They argued that the extra firepower is essential to help Ukraine hold the front lines, protect cities from missile and drone attacks, and […]

United States lawmakers have held a bipartisan meeting to discuss the escalating violence in Nigeria and explore possible policy responses to rising insecurity in the country.​ Members of Congress reviewed recent attacks, including killings, kidnappings, and assaults on religious and ethnic communities, expressing concern over the growing humanitarian impact and regional instability.​ The discussions covered how the US could support Nigeria through security cooperation, humanitarian aid, and stronger advocacy for human rights, accountability, and protection of vulnerable groups.​ Some lawmakers pushed for closer scrutiny of how security assistance is used, calling for safeguards to ensure that military and police forces respect human rights and are held responsible for abuses.​ They also highlighted the need to address root causes of violence, such as poverty, weak governance, corruption, and climate-related pressures that fuel conflicts between farmers and herders.​ The meeting ended with […]
