More strikes coming as FG, US detail Sokoto anti ISIS operation

Terrorists operating in northern Nigeria face more coordinated attacks after Nigeria and the United States carried out a joint strike on their locations in Sokoto State on Thursday night. Officials from both countries confirmed that the operation is part of ongoing actions against ISIS linked elements in the region.​ A US military official quoted by The New York Times said about a dozen Tomahawk missiles were deployed near the Niger Republic border, targeting Islamic State Sahel fighters accused of attacking security forces and civilians. Information Minister Mohammed Idris later clarified that 16 missiles were fired during the operation.​ Idris explained that debris from the missiles caused explosions reported in Offa, Kwara State, and Jabo in Tambuwal Local Government Area of Sokoto State, triggering panic among residents. He stressed that the blasts came from falling missile fragments, not from direct bomb […]

Questions trail NAF aircraft’s onward flight to Portugal

Fresh questions have emerged over the onward journey of the Nigerian Air Force C 130 aircraft that made an emergency landing in Burkina Faso while heading to Portugal for maintenance. Although officials earlier said the plane and its 11 man crew had been cleared to continue their mission, there is still no clear public confirmation on when it actually departed Bobo Dioulasso for Europe.​ The aircraft was on a ferry mission to Portugal on 8 December when the crew detected a technical fault after takeoff from Lagos and carried out a precautionary landing in Bobo Dioulasso, in line with international aviation safety procedures. Burkina Faso authorities subsequently held the plane and personnel, claiming an airspace violation, which triggered a diplomatic row and heightened regional tensions.​ Following high level talks in Ouagadougou led by Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, the […]

Burkina Faso frees detained Nigerian aircraft and 11 troops

The Federal Government has confirmed the release of the Nigerian Air Force C-130 aircraft and 11 soldiers who were detained in Burkina Faso after a forced landing.​ The confirmation came on Wednesday night from the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, who said the aircraft and personnel had been released. He simply stated that they had been freed following diplomatic efforts.​ Their release followed a meeting in Ouagadougou between Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, and Burkina Faso’s junta leader, Ibrahim Traoré. Tuggar, who led a Nigerian delegation, explained that the visit was at the request of President Bola Tinubu to resolve the incident and strengthen relations between both countries.​ The incident occurred nearly two weeks earlier when a Nigerian Air Force C-130 transport aircraft, carrying 11 soldiers, made a forced or precautionary landing in Bobo […]

FG Says Detained NAF C 130 Plane 11 Soldiers Still Not Released

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that a Nigerian Air Force C 130 aircraft and 11 military personnel being held in Burkina Faso remain in detention, days after the incident that led to their stoppage. The clarification follows conflicting media reports suggesting that the troops had already been freed.​ The aircraft, on a ferry mission to Portugal, reportedly developed a technical issue shortly after leaving Lagos on 8 December 2025. In line with international aviation procedures, the crew made a precautionary landing at Bobo Dioulasso airfield in Burkina Faso, identified as the nearest suitable airport.​ However, authorities under the Confederation of Sahel States, which includes Burkina Faso, treated the landing as an unauthorised entry into their airspace. The regional bloc subsequently placed its air and anti aircraft systems on high alert and ordered an investigation into the circumstances of […]

No Religious Persecution, Genocide in Nigeria — FG, AU Refute Trump’s Claims

The Nigerian Federal Government and African Union have firmly rejected claims of religious persecution and Christian genocide within Nigeria, labelling the allegations as false and damaging to the country’s image. Minister of Foreign Affairs Yusuf Tuggar demanded the full airing of his interview with Piers Morgan for transparency, arguing that selective edits could distort Nigeria’s reality and fuel false narratives. Information Minister Mohammed Idris emphasized that Nigeria guarantees religious freedom for all residents, stating that terrorism affects both Christians and Muslims indiscriminately, and is not religiously motivated. The government highlighted ongoing investments in security architecture to address terror and banditry, not religious conflict. African Union chair Mahamoud Ali Youssouf supported this by noting that Boko Haram’s primary victims are Muslims rather than Christians, and that labeling ongoing insecurity as genocide oversimplifies complex security challenges in Nigeria’s North. Nigerian Christian leaders, […]

Nigeria Rejects Claims of Religious Persecution

The Nigerian government has dismissed claims of religious persecution, saying the country’s constitution guarantees freedom of religion for all citizens. Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar made this clear during a press conference in Berlin on Tuesday, following remarks by former US President Donald Trump, who had threatened military intervention over the alleged killing of Christians in Nigeria. “There can’t be a religious persecution that can be supported in any way, shape or form by the government of Nigeria at any level,” Tuggar said. Trump had written on social media that he asked the Pentagon to plan a possible military response, claiming “Christians are being killed in large numbers.” Tuggar stressed that Nigeria remains committed to religious freedom and the rule of law. He noted that the country’s many conflicts affect both Christians and Muslims, not one group alone. Nigeria, Africa’s most […]
