Islamic leaders reject US call on Sharia, blasphemy laws

Islamic leaders in Nigeria have rejected a recommendation by a United States congressional panel asking the Federal Government to scrap Sharia and blasphemy laws, saying the demand touches on national sovereignty, the constitution and fragile interfaith relations in the country.​ Those who spoke include an official of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs who asked not to be named, Sheikh Sidi Munir of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Nurudeen Khalid, former Chief Imam of the National Assembly Legislative Quarters Juma’at Mosque in Abuja, and Professor Ishaq Akintola, Executive Director of Muslim Rights Concern.​ The US panel’s report followed hearings, expert consultations and fact-finding visits to Nigeria and suggested possible sanctions, visa bans and a new security partnership to protect vulnerable communities, while also urging Nigeria to show clear action against religious persecution and insecurity.​ Responding, the NSCIA official […]

Many feared dead in suspected bomb blast on Zamfara highway

Several travellers are feared dead after a suspected bomb explosion along the Yar’Tasha–Dansadau road in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

Turji Alleges Two Ex Governors Are Fuelling Insecurity

Notorious bandit leader Bello Turji has claimed in a viral video that two former governors from Zamfara and Sokoto states bear major responsibility for the insecurity ravaging parts of northern Nigeria. He accused the past administrations of laying the groundwork for today’s violence through decisions he said worsened tensions and communal distrust.​ Turji alleged that the former leaders armed local vigilante groups, popularly called Yan Banga, in ways that he claims targeted Fulani communities and escalated reprisals. According to him, those policies turned what should have been community protection initiatives into forces that deepened ethnic and social divisions.​ In the same video, Turji addressed controversy over his past contacts with the Zamfara State government when Bello Matawalle, now Minister of State for Defence, was governor. He admitted taking part in peace talks with the then administration but denied receiving a […]

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 […]

Is Nigeria Cursed, or Are We the Curse? — Obi Laments Over Insecurity

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has decried the country’s worsening insecurity in a heartfelt post. Listing abductions and attacks over the past ten days—including kidnappings of Defence officials, students, worshippers, and farmers—Obi argues Nigeria’s “chaos” is due to collective leadership failures that have allowed lawlessness and violence to thrive. Obi claims no one, not even those tasked with security, is safe and warns that leaders have chosen “comfort over courage, politics over people, and power over purpose.” He insists the tragedies facing Nigerians—school abductions, attacks on worshippers, and erosion of democratic institutions—are not inevitable, but the result of failed governance. Calling for urgent reform, Obi says Nigeria must rise above indifference and excuses, and leaders must protect every community, child, and citizen. “You deserve safety, you deserve peace,” he concludes, urging Nigerians to demand a competent, compassionate […]

Under Siege: 2,496 Students Abducted in 92 School Attacks Since Chibok

New data reveals 2,496 students abducted in 92 school attacks across Nigeria since the Chibok tragedy in 2014. Recent mass kidnappings in Niger and Kebbi states have reignited concerns about student safety, with abductions now a source of ransom income for criminal groups and a cause for widespread fear and trauma. Analysis shows nearly 70 attacks on schools from 2014–2022, with over 1,680 students taken by the end of that period. An additional 22 attacks and 816 students kidnapped occurred from January 2023 to November 2025. Most incidents are concentrated in the North, especially in states like Kaduna, Zamfara, Niger, and Kebbi. Experts warn many cases go unreported, so actual abduction numbers could be higher. The Chibok abduction marked a turning point—many girls are still missing, and mass abductions have since escalated with recurring ransom demands. More than one million […]

NAF Neutralizes Terrorists, Destroys Logistics Hub in Zamfara

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) executed precision airstrikes on November 14, 2025, targeting a major terrorist stronghold and logistics hub in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State. Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance identified the Sauri bandit camp as both a defensive shelter and logistics base, used to hide rustled livestock and support armed groups. NAF aircraft conducted multiple strike passes, destroying hideouts and logistics facilities, and neutralising numerous terrorists who tried to escape into surrounding vegetation. Post-operation assessments confirmed critical structures, supply resources, and several fighters were eliminated, crippling the group’s operational capacity. Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, NAF spokesperson, said the successful operation reaffirms the commitment of Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke’s directive to “find them, hunt them down, and protect our people.” The strikes reflect ongoing counterterrorism efforts to deny bandits safe havens and restore peace and stability across […]
