Police Repel Bandit Attack in Kaduna, Kill Two Suspects, Recover Arms

The Kaduna State Police Command says it has repelled an attempted bandit attack in Giwa Local Government Area, killing two suspected bandits and recovering firearms and ammunition.

Police said the operation followed credible intelligence indicating that armed bandits were planning to attack Idisu village in Bayan Kogi ward. Intelligence revealed the group, allegedly led by a notorious kingpin identified as Kachalla Sanusi Bajira, was mobilising after residents refused to pay an illegal levy.

According to the Command’s spokesperson, DSP Mansir Hassan, the Commissioner of Police ordered operatives of the anti-kidnapping unit, in collaboration with the Civilian Joint Task Force, to move into the area.

On arrival, the security team encountered the bandits who had set an ambush, leading to a gun battle. Police operatives overpowered the attackers, killing two suspects, while others escaped into nearby bushes.

Two firearms and five rounds of live ammunition were recovered during the operation.

The Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Muhammad, commended the operatives for their professionalism and assured residents of continued intelligence-led operations against banditry, kidnapping, and other violent crimes. He warned that Kaduna State will not serve as a safe haven for criminals.

Trump Says U.S. Delayed Nigeria Airstr+kes to Deliver ‘Christmas Present’ to ISIS U.S.

President Donald Trump has disclosed that American airstr+kes against suspected Islamic State (IS) militants in northwest Nigeria were intentionally delayed so they could be carried out around Christmas.

Trump announced late Thursday that the United States had launched a “powerful and d+adly str+ke” against IS fighters. In an interview with Politico, he said the decision on timing was his. “They were going to do it earlier,” Trump said. “And I said, ‘Nope, let’s give a Christmas present.’”

The Nigerian government confirmed it cooperated with the United States on the operation through intelligence sharing and strategic coordination. Government spokesperson Mohammed Idris said the strikes were launched shortly after midnight from the Gulf of Guinea and involved “16 GPS-guided precision” missiles and MQ-9 Reaper drones.

The airstr+kes, which targeted an alleged IS camp in Sokoto State, were felt by nearby communities. In Jabo village, residents said the explosions shook homes and lit up the sky. Sanusi Madabo, a 40-year-old farmer, said he initially thought a plane had cr@shed.

“The light b¥rned bright for hours,” Madabo said. “It was almost like daytime.” Trump said the militants targeted were “targeting and viciously k+lling, primarily, innocent Christians.”

However, residents and security analysts have noted that Nigeria’s prolonged security crisis affects both Christians and Muslims across the country. The full impact of the str+kes, including casualties and d+mage, has yet to be independently confirmed.

BREAKING: Shock In Kano As Two State Assembly Lawmakers, Aminu Saad Ungogo And Sarki Aliyu Daneji, Die Within Hours Of Each Other

Tragedy has struck the Kano State House of Assembly following the sudden deaths of two serving lawmakers, Hon. Aminu Saad Ungogo and Hon. Sarki Aliyu Daneji, who passed away just hours apart on Wednesday, December 24, 2025. The development has thrown the state’s political landscape into mourning and raised concerns over the loss of key legislative voices within a single day.
Hon. Aminu Saad Ungogo represented the Ungogo State Constituency, while Hon. Sarki Aliyu Daneji served as the lawmaker for Kano Municipal Constituency. Their deaths were officially confirmed by senior government officials, including the Special Adviser on Information to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, Ibrahim Adam, who announced the sad news via a Facebook post, expressing deep sorrow over the loss of both lawmakers in one evening.
Further confirmation came from the Director of Media at the Kano Government House, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa. He disclosed that Hon. Ungogo died after a brief illness and was scheduled to be buried later the same day in his hometown of Ungogo, in line with Islamic rites. An hour after Ungogo’s death, news broke that Hon. Daneji had also passed away, compounding the grief within the Assembly and across the state.
The near-simultaneous deaths of the two legislators have sent shockwaves through Kano’s political community, with colleagues, government officials, and residents expressing condolences and prayers for their families. Both lawmakers were described as committed public servants who played active roles in representing their constituencies at the state legislature.
As Kano mourns the loss of the two lawmakers, tributes continue to pour in from political leaders and citizens alike, while the State House of Assembly is expected to formally announce mourning activities and possible arrangements for filling the vacant seats in accordance with the law.

Empower us to become better versions of ourselves each day. Divine guide, grant us the strength to overcome our inner struggles between desire and discipline, that we may draw closer to Your will. Liberate us from the influence of detrimental individuals, that we may cultivate positivity and gratitude in our lives. Amen.

Eight Restaurant Workers Remanded for Alleged Attempted Murder of Lagos Enforcement Officers

Date: December 12, 2025

Location: Victoria Island, Lagos

Incident:

During a regulatory enforcement operation on Sinari Daranijo Street, officials from the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI) and the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) were attacked and injured by workers of Yakoyo Abula Joint.

The restaurant had previously been sealed by the government for regulatory violations.


Legal Action:

Eight workers were arrested and arraigned at Bolade Magistrate Court in Oshodi on charges of attempted murder.

Defendants: Ibiwunmi Oladunjoye (30, F), Sikiru Oyelami (45), Aja Daniel (29), Sanusi Abayomi (31), Timothy Emmanuel (22), Ajoke Adegoke (24, F), Sulaimon Akinbola (28), Ridwan Adeshina (30).

All pleaded not guilty and were remanded until January 28, 2026, pending advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.


Government Statement:

Lagos State Commissioner of the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, emphasized that assaulting or obstructing government officials will face decisive legal action.

The restaurant supervisor was also arrested, and the premises remain sealed. Additional arrests may occur as investigations continue.


Key Quotes:

“The Yakoyo restaurant not only broke the government’s seal, they went further to unleash armed thugs on officials… This crosses every line.” – Tokunbo Wahab

“No one is above the law, and any attempt to intimidate government officials will be met with firm and immediate consequences.”


Context:

This is part of Lagos State’s broader enforcement efforts to ensure compliance with regulatory and sanitation laws.

Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi says Nigeria’s political elite have deliberately undermined the country’s progress by treating public office as a private enterprise rather than a national duty.

Speaking at the 15th anniversary event of Enough is Enough Nigeria in Lagos, Sanusi said the political class routinely sidelined development opportunities because “public office is about themselves, their families, and people close to them, not about the country or the citizens”.

“We have done enough damage and maybe we need to stop. And I think this is the point Omobola is making about missed opportunities. Not just missed opportunities, I think sometimes deliberately missed opportunities,” he said.

“The reason we miss these opportunities is because we have people who think public office is about themselves, it’s about their families, it’s about people close to them, it’s not about the country. But public office is about the citizens.”

Sanusi urged young Nigerians to reject what he described as a dysfunctional system and commit to building a nation that reflects its actual promise. He said the country’s current political and social structure is one defined by “ethnic rivalries, religious conflicts, and competition for personal aggrandizement”, all of which, he warned, limit national advancement.

Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has warned against politicising insecurity, stressing that the growing threat of banditry demands collective action from all citizens regardless of political affiliation.

The governor made the remarks on Saturday night during a special prayer session at the Government House, where 4,444 Qur’an memorizers (Huffaz) gathered to recite the Holy Qur’an and offer prayers for lasting peace in the state following recent attacks by armed bandits.

The event drew notable figures, including the 16th Fulani Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, top government officials, clerics and community leaders.

Governor Yusuf emphasised that insecurity affects everyone equally, urging Nigerians to unite in confronting the menace.

“Insecurity does not know politics or party affiliations. This is why everyone, regardless of their leanings, must join hands to fight the monster of banditry. We want to see everybody working together to free Kano,” he said.

According to him, the government is working round-the-clock with security operatives to protect Kano and its environs.

Describing the mass prayer session as a vital spiritual effort, the governor noted that such initiatives should be appreciated by all well-meaning residents.

The prayer session drew Islamic scholars, Qur’an reciters and participants from all 44 local government areas, all united in seeking divine intervention and an end to insecurity in the state.

New Era in Kano! Governor Abba Yusuf Inaugurates Reconstituted Kano Council of Emirs Led by Sanusi II

Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has officially inaugurated the reconstituted Kano Council of Emirs, restoring the traditional structure with Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II serving as Chairman. The council also includes Emirs from Gaya, Karaye, and Rano.

This development was revealed in a statement by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, on Monday in Kano.

The inauguration follows the signing of the Kano Emirates Council Law (Repeal Bill) 2024, which dissolved the five emirate councils established under former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, returning Kano to its historic unified emirate structure.

Speaking at the ceremony held at the Government House Coronation Hall, Governor Yusuf emphasized that reinstating the Council aims to strengthen peace, stability, and development across Kano State.

He described the traditional institution as “a pillar of history, guardian of values, custodian of heritage, and an indispensable partner in governance.”

Governor Yusuf added that the Council is expected to serve as a central platform where royal fathers can meet, deliberate, and provide meaningful guidance on issues affecting the people.

The Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, expressed confidence that the restored Council will significantly contribute to the state's development.

Earlier, the Governor’s Special Adviser on Chieftaincy Affairs, Prof. Tijjani Muhammad Naniya, traced the historical roots of the Kano Emirate, highlighting its over 700-year legacy of unity under one Emir.

Responding on behalf of the Emirs, Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II commended Governor Yusuf's leadership and pledged the full support of the Emirates toward the progress and stability of Kano State.

Former CBN governor & 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II has criticized the FG for continued borrowing despite removing fuel subsidy.

Speaking at the Oxford Global Think Tank Leadership Conference in Abuja, Sanusi said the subsidy removal had already increased revenue & questioned why the Bola Tinubu administration was still taking loans.

He praised the removal of fuel subsidy & exchange rate unification as “painful but necessary,” but warned that reckless spending could erase the gains. “If you stop paying subsidies but continue borrowing, it means you’ve filled one hole only to dig another,” he said.

Sanusi blamed the nation’s economic woes on years of poor fiscal management & populist policies. He urged the government to cut waste, asking, “Why do we need 48 ministers & long convoys?”

He also condemned the culture of praise-singing in governance, noting that sycophancy prevents leaders from hearing the truth. According to him, leaders must seek honest advisers rather than those who flatter them.

Don’t just reform, cut wastes

Nigeria Has Pulled Back From Economic Collapse — Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II Hails the CBN Reforms.

Former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Sanusi Muhammadu Sanusi, has praised the current leadership of the apex bank for what he described as a “remarkable turnaround” in Nigeria’s monetary and economic stability.

Speaking on recent economic developments, Sanusi said he had “nothing but positive words” for the CBN’s policies, noting that the institution had successfully stabilized the exchange rate and curbed the reckless monetary expansion that once threatened the economy.

“We came from a period of very high instability due to loose monetary policy and uncontrolled growth in money supply,” Sanusi stated. “In the last one year, the central bank has worked hard to mop up excess liquidity. Yes, interest rates are high, but the result is evident, we’ve stabilized the naira and pulled back from the brink of total economic collapse.”

The former governor highlighted key economic improvements, including declining inflation, which he noted had fallen to around 20 percent, and a steady rise in foreign reserves now exceeding $40 billion.

Sanusi also pointed out that Nigeria’s economy recorded growth of over 3 percent in the first quarter and more than 4 percent in the second quarter of the year, outpacing population growth for the first time in years.

He described these gains as evidence that the CBN’s policy tightening and reform efforts are beginning to yield tangible results, restoring investor confidence and setting the economy on a path toward long-term stability.
