• Obasanjo Attends Aso Rock Christmas Carols as Tinubu Skips Event Amid Rising Insecurity

    Former President Olusegun Obasanjo attended the 2025 Service of Nine Lessons and Carols at Aso Rock, hosted by First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, marking his first visit to the Presidential Villa since President Bola Tinubu assumed office. Obasanjo read a biblical passage during the service, while President Tinubu was absent, reportedly due to the religious nature of the event. The former president has recently criticized the Tinubu administration over escalating insecurity, including killings, kidnappings, and the government’s reliance on negotiations instead of decisive action against terrorists, highlighting Nigeria’s advanced drone capabilities.

  • US Group Warns of Planned Christmas Day Attacks in Nigeria, DSS Confirms Intelligence

    A United States–based humanitarian group, Equipping The Persecuted, has raised alarm over alleged plans by terrorist groups to launch coordinated attacks on several Nigerian communities on Christmas Day. While Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) confirmed it has intelligence on the threat and has begun preventive operations, the Bola Tinubu Presidency dismissed the warning as doubtful and capable of spreading panic. The alert has intensified concerns over security in parts of the Middle Belt amid recurring festive-season attacks.

  • Tinubu Dismisses Claims of Christian or Muslim Genocide, Says Nigeria’s Crisis Is Criminality-Driven

Speaking at NASFAT’s Biennial Conference in Abuja, he emphasized that both Muslims and Christians are victims of terrorism and urged Nigerians to reject divisive narratives. Tinubu reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to security reforms, economic stability, and collaboration with faith-based organisations to promote unity and resilience.

  • US Rep Riley Moore Hails US-Nigeria Joint Task Force, Warns Insecurity Still Worsening

    US Congressman Riley Moore has praised the newly established US-Nigeria joint task force as a major step toward ending terrorism and mass killings in Nigeria, following a meeting with National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu. In a statement on X, Moore said the US delegation discussed concrete security actions that could disrupt terrorist networks in the North-East and stop attacks on Christians in the Middle Belt — an issue he said concerns both him and President Donald Trump.
    He commended President Tinubu for the rescue of 100 abducted Catholic schoolchildren in Niger State but warned that Nigeria’s insecurity remains far from resolved. Moore urged the Nigerian government to turn its openness to US cooperation into real action, stressing that more work is needed to stabilise the country.

  • Dalung Lauds Tinubu’s Benin Airstrike but Questions Failure to Tackle Insecurity in Nigeria

    Former minister Solomon Dalung has praised President Bola Tinubu for Nigeria’s swift military intervention in Benin Republic, describing the airstrike against coup plotters as decisive and effective. However, he criticised the government for failing to apply the same urgency to Nigeria’s worsening insecurity. Dalung questioned why operations against terrorists, bandits, and kidnappers at home lack the coordination displayed in Benin, citing unanswered attacks such as the killing of Brig. Gen. Musa Uba and mass school kidnappings. He warned that Nigeria’s inability to protect its citizens fuels international calls — including past remarks by Donald Trump — for external intervention. Dalung urged Tinubu to deploy equal military strength to Sambisa, Niger, Zamfara, Plateau, and Kaduna, insisting that national strength must be proven within Nigeria’s borders.

  • Tinubu’s ‘Security Emergency’ Is Not a Constitutional State of Emergency — Odinkalu Warns Against State Police

    In a detailed opinion piece, Chidi Anselm Odinkalu critiques President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a “nationwide security emergency,” arguing that it does not meet the constitutional requirements for a state of emergency and bypasses necessary oversight by the National Assembly. Odinkalu warns that the move appears politically calculated and masks the administration’s reluctance to acknowledge Nigeria’s worsening insecurity.
    He further cautions against the push for state police, citing historical abuses—from Native Authority Police to Bakassi Boys—and the failure of state-led security initiatives in Zamfara, Benue, and Anambra. Odinkalu warns that creating 37 separate police forces could decentralize despotism, enabling governors to weaponize security agencies against opponents. He argues instead for decentralizing the Nigeria Police Force with stronger oversight, autonomy, and professionalism.

  • BREAKING: Coalition Of Nigerian Leaders Warns Of ‘Wartime Levels’ Of Insecurity, Proposes Presidential Task Force

    A coalition of prominent Nigerian leaders across ethnic, religious, and political divides has raised alarm over worsening insecurity under President Bola Tinubu, warning that the nation risks sliding into chaos unless urgent action is taken.

    Citing an Amnesty International report, the leaders said at least 10,217 Nigerians have been killed in violent attacks in the past two years, describing it as “wartime levels of slaughter.” Benue alone reportedly recorded nearly 6,900 deaths, Plateau over 2,600, while Zamfara has seen 638 villages razed and residents forced to pay criminal levies.

    The coalition condemned what it termed “a dangerous national silence” and the state’s failure to maintain security, stressing that farmer-herder clashes have evolved into sectarian wars fueled by poverty, arms proliferation, and impunity.

    They proposed the creation of a Presidential Task Force on National Security with extraordinary powers to coordinate intelligence, disarm armed groups, reintegrate displaced persons, and publish quarterly accountability reports.

    “Nigeria stands on a knife-edge,” the leaders warned, urging immediate reforms, reconciliation, and inclusive governance to halt the bloodshed.

  • Tinubu Backs Local Arms Production To Tackle Insecurity

    President Bola Tinubu has pledged to accelerate the local production of arms and ammunition as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s fight against insurgency and other security threats.

    Speaking at the graduation of Course 33 of the National Defence College in Abuja, Tinubu—represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima—said indigenous manufacturing would reduce dependence on foreign suppliers while boosting security and development.

    He emphasized that strong institutions are key to national security and democracy, adding that his administration remains committed to completing the permanent site of the Defence College and transforming it into a Defence Postgraduate University.

    Tinubu also reaffirmed his resolve to reposition Nigeria’s economy for growth, noting improvements in investor confidence, while stressing the need to tackle inflation and food insecurity.

  • Nigerian Government Vows Justice For 32 Worshippers Killed In Katsina Mosque Attack

    The Federal Government has vowed to bring to justice the gunmen who killed at least 32 worshippers in Malumfashi Local Government Area of Katsina State.

    The attackers stormed a mosque on Tuesday, opening fire on congregants during prayers. According to state officials, the assault was in retaliation for an earlier ambush by residents that left some members of the armed group dead.

    In a statement, Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, condemned the killings as “callous and barbaric,” assuring Nigerians that security forces were already on the trail of the perpetrators.

    “Security forces are already on the trail of the criminals, and no stone will be left unturned until they are apprehended and held accountable. Justice will be swift and decisive,” the statement read.

    President Bola Tinubu extended condolences to the victims’ families, the Malumfashi community, and the Katsina State government, saying: “Their grief is our grief, and the Government stands with them at this dark hour.”

    The minister stressed that the assault was not just an attack on Malumfashi but “an affront to our collective humanity and national values,” reaffirming government’s resolve to intensify the fight against terrorism.

    The development comes weeks after the National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC) announced the arrest of key terrorist leaders, including Mahmud al-Nigeri of the Mahmuda faction, his deputy Abu Abba, and Mahmud Muhammad Usman (Abu Baraa) of the Ansaru group — all previously on the international wanted list.

  • VIDEO: Nigeria’s Security Problem Can Be Solved In Six Months — Gen. Williams

    Retired General Ishola Williams, former Chief of Defence Training and Planning, says Nigeria’s insecurity crisis can be resolved within six months if the right strategies are applied.

    Speaking on Sunrise Daily, Williams expressed optimism despite recent attacks, including the Katsina mosque massacre, where over 30 worshippers were killed by bandits.

    He noted that banditry is fueled by conflicts over land, cattle rustling, kidnapping, and illegal taxation in rural areas, urging stronger government presence and coordinated action.

  • VIDEO: FG Can Lock Down Borders To Tackle Terrorists — Ex-COAS Buratai

    Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has suggested a temporary lockdown of Nigeria’s borders as part of measures to combat terrorism and banditry.

    Speaking on Sunrise Daily, Buratai compared the strategy to the COVID-19 border shutdown, stressing that insecurity requires long-term planning and collaboration among political, traditional, and religious leaders.

    He added that while state police is a welcome idea, it could be abused by politicians unless safeguards are put in place. Buratai insisted the military should be seen as a solution to insecurity, not a hindrance.

  • Four Security Personnel Killed In Borno Boko Haram Attack

    Four security operatives — a soldier, a mobile police officer, and two Civilian Joint Task Force members — were killed in a Boko Haram ambush on Monday in Dalori Gari, about 12 km from Maiduguri.

    The victims were providing cover for farmers heading to their fields when the attackers, riding motorcycles and advancing on foot, opened fire.

    Sources said several farmers, including women and girls, were abducted during the raid, while others sustained injuries while fleeing.

    Police spokesperson Kenneth Daso confirmed the deaths but noted that the fallen personnel were under Operation Hadin Kai, meaning the military will issue further details.

  • Every Nigerian Should Learn Combat Skills For Self-Defence – CDS Musa

    Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has urged citizens to acquire basic combat and survival skills such as Karate, Taekwondo, Judo, swimming, and driving, describing them as essential for self-protection in today’s dangerous world.

    Speaking on Politics Today, Musa said the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) should train graduates in unarmed combat for daily survival, stressing that security is everyone’s responsibility.

    He also revealed that terrorists are increasingly funding their operations with gold, making financial tracking complex due to international networks. Musa further cited bad roads, poor communication, and IED threats as key obstacles slowing troops’ response to banditry and terrorism.

    On the Southeast, he noted that relative calm has returned since the arrest of pro-Biafra agitator Simon Ekpa in Finland in November 2024.

  • Banditry: CDS Musa Links Troops’ Slow Response To Bad Roads

    Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, says poor road networks, difficult terrains, and security risks like IEDs are slowing down the military’s response to terror and bandit attacks.

    Speaking on Politics Today, Musa stressed that while citizens expect instant intervention, logistical realities make rapid deployment difficult. He noted that in the North-East, troops must sweep roads for explosives before advancing, while some terrains remain impassable for military vehicles.

    He added that bandits exploit these weaknesses, striking quickly and fleeing before soldiers arrive.

  • Troops Burn Seized Vessels Over Weak Prosecution — CDS Musa

    Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, says the military destroys vessels used for oil theft because the country’s slow and weak legal system allows offenders to return to crime with little consequence.

    Speaking on Politics Today, Musa lamented that soldiers risk their lives to arrest suspects, only for them to be freed on technicalities or fined lightly. He cited Niger Delta cases where seized vessels were returned to operators, forcing troops to burn them despite environmental concerns.

    He stressed that the flawed legal process frustrates counter-terrorism and anti-crime operations, urging the establishment of special courts and tougher penalties to deter impunity.

  • News Brief: Katsina Acting Gov Seeks Stronger Military Support Against Banditry

  • Inside Bello Turji’s Latest ‘Peace’ Deal With Zamfara
    Notorious bandit leader Bello Turji has struck another truce with Nigerian authorities after weeks of deadly clashes in Zamfara State. The deal, brokered by Muslim clerics, saw Turji agree to halt raids, kidnappings, and cattle theft in exchange for an end to vigilante attacks on his Fulani kinsmen. He also released 32 captives and surrendered some weapons.

    While farming has resumed near his stronghold, security experts warn the accord may be a temporary “survival strategy,” as past deals with Turji and other bandits have collapsed. Underlying issues — poverty, herder-farmer tensions, and the profitability of banditry — remain unresolved.
