The women were demonstrating against what they described as the delayed response of security forces following coordinated militia attacks on multiple communities earlier in the day. Local leaders say the troops fired at the unarmed crowd, deepening community anger and fear. The Nigerian Army has yet to issue an official statement, and attempts to reach the Army spokesperson, Lt. Col. Apollonia Anele, were unsuccessful at the time of reporting. #AdamawaShooting #NigerianArmy #LamurdeProtest

Intelligence Report Uncovers Hundreds of Kidnapping and Bandit Syndicate Members Across Northern Nigeria A classified Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) report has exposed a vast network of kidnapping and bandit syndicates operating across the North-West and North-East. The investigation reveals detailed profiles of key kingpins, informants, logistics operators, and possible links to politically exposed persons. Hotspot states like Katsina, Zamfara, and Kaduna dominate the findings, with suspects tied to ransom collection, weapons sourcing, international communication, and alleged collaboration with security and political figures. The report highlights how coordinated criminal networks sustain abductions, banditry, and cross-regional movement of armed groups.

Kwara Police Arrest Kidnapping Kingpin After DSS Detains Doctor Treating Bandits The Kwara State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of a notorious kidnapping kingpin, Aliu Abubakar, just hours after the DSS detained a medical doctor accused of providing drugs and medical treatment to armed groups operating in the Kwara–Niger forest belt. Abubakar was apprehended at Oro-Ago Motor Park following community intelligence, with digital forensics reportedly revealing photos of him wielding an AK-47, posing with gang members, and displaying cash believed to be ransom proceeds. The arrest is linked to an ongoing security sweep that recently intercepted ammunition couriers tied to the same network. Authorities say the coordinated crackdown is exposing the financial, logistical and medical support systems sustaining kidnapping operations in rural communities. The suspect is in custody and providing actionable intelligence expected to lead to more arrests. #KwaraSecurity #KidnappingKingpin #DSSArrests

Reps Committee Summons NNPCL GCEO Bayo Ojulari Over 2021 Audit Queries, Demands Documents by Dec 15 The House of Representatives Public Accounts Committee has ordered NNPCL’s Group CEO, Bayo Ojulari, to appear before lawmakers on December 15, 2025, over unresolved audit queries from the Auditor-General’s 2021 report. PAC Chairman Bamidele Salam condemned NNPCL’s repeated failure to provide documents or honour earlier invitations, describing the conduct as disrespectful to the National Assembly. Ojulari’s absence—explained as a result of a “critical engagement” at the Presidential Villa—angered committee members. The lawmakers warned that no agency, including NNPCL, is exempt from oversight, as the audit queries involve abandoned projects, irregular payments, tax violations, and unaccounted funds. The committee insists on full compliance to strengthen accountability across MDAs. #NNPCL #AuditQueries #HouseOfReps

Benin’s Communist Party Condemns Nigeria, France Over ‘Foreign Military Intervention’ After Failed Coup The Communist Party of Benin (PCB) has denounced what it calls unlawful foreign military intervention by Nigeria and France following the December 7 failed coup attempt against President Patrice Talon. In a strongly worded statement, the party accused French forces and Nigerian fighter jets of playing decisive roles in quelling the coup, calling the action an assault on Benin’s sovereignty. While rejecting military takeovers, the PCB blamed the Talon administration for deepening political repression and fuelling public anger. It demanded the immediate withdrawal of all foreign forces, warning that continued authoritarian governance makes future instability inevitable. #BeninCoup #ForeignIntervention #PatriceTalon

Court Declares Police Wanted Notice on Lagos Lawyer Illegal, Orders Retraction and Apology A Federal High Court in Lagos has ruled that the Nigeria Police Force acted unlawfully by declaring Lagos-based lawyer Emmanuel Chinyere Orji wanted without a court order. Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa held that the Police exceeded their constitutional powers and violated Orji’s fundamental rights by publishing his name and photograph in national media and on its website. The court nullified the publication, directed the Inspector General of Police to retract the notice and issue a formal apology, but dismissed Orji’s N1 billion damages claim. The judgment reinforces that law enforcement agencies cannot declare a citizen wanted without judicial authorization. #NigeriaPolice #FundamentalRights #LagosCourt

Fresh Assassination Plot Against Whistleblower Nnamdi Emeh in Anambra Prison Exposed as Global Rights Groups Demand His Release Global human rights organisations have raised alarm over a fresh alleged plot to assassinate detained whistleblower Nnamdi Daniel Emeh inside Awka Correctional Centre. A weapon was reportedly smuggled into the prison with instructions to stage a fight and kill him, despite multiple court orders granting him bail for more than 18 months. Blueprint for Free Speech and 20 other international groups have petitioned Nigerian authorities, demanding his immediate release, an independent probe into the threats, and accountability from the police whose investigation findings remain hidden. Emeh, who exposed alleged extrajudicial killings and organ harvesting by Anambra police officers, continues to face prolonged detention, vanished court documents, and repeated obstruction of justice — even as he recently won an international whistleblowing award. #NnamdiEmeh #WhistleblowerProtection #HumanRightsNigeria
