PRESS STATEMENT: NIGERIA MUST PROTECT HER PEOPLE: A CALL FOR NATIONAL ACTION, COMPASSION AND SECURITY REFORM

By The Movement Nigeria (TMN)

Fellow Nigerians,

Today, we gather not as representatives of any political interest, ethnic group, religion or region, but as concerned citizens united by a shared sense of humanity and patriotism.

Our hearts are with every family currently experiencing the pain of insecurity, particularly the parents, teachers and loved ones of the school children and citizens who remain in captivity across different parts of our country.

No nation can truly prosper when its people live in fear.

No parent should send a child to school uncertain of their safety.

No teacher should be forced to choose between educating children and preserving their own life.

No community should live under the constant threat of violence, kidnapping or displacement.

The Movement Nigeria (TMN) is organizing this candlelight gathering in Oyo State as a solemn moment of reflection, solidarity and national responsibility.

We remember every victim.

We stand with every affected family.

We pray for the safe return of every person currently in captivity.

We honor the sacrifices of our security personnel who continue to put their lives on the line daily in defense of our nation.

At this difficult moment, Nigeria does not need more division. Nigeria needs leadership, compassion, courage and practical solutions.

The security challenges confronting our nation were not created overnight, and they will not disappear overnight. However, history shows that countries facing similar threats have successfully restored peace through determined leadership, institutional reforms, community participation and sustained economic development.

Countries such as Colombia significantly reduced insurgency and kidnapping through intelligence-driven operations and coordinated security reforms.

Rwanda rebuilt national security through strong institutions, local vigilance structures and national unity programs.

Indonesia weakened extremist networks through effective intelligence gathering, community engagement and targeted security operations.

Singapore continues to maintain one of the safest societies in the world through efficient policing, technology, strong institutions and strict accountability.

Nigeria can learn from these experiences while developing solutions tailored to our own realities.

*THE AGADA SECURITY FRAMEWORK: SIX PILLARS FOR A SAFER NIGERIA*

*1. Secure Every School Initiative*

Every public and private school in Nigeria should be protected through a coordinated national school security program.

This program should include:

* Dedicated School Protection Units.

* Security technology and emergency alert systems.

* Perimeter protection infrastructure.

* Regular security audits.

* Community-based school safety partnerships.

Schools must remain places of learning, not targets of fear.

*2. Intelligence-Led Security Architecture*

Modern security challenges require modern solutions.

Nigeria must strengthen:

* Intelligence gathering.

* Inter-agency collaboration.

* Real-time information sharing.

* Digital surveillance capabilities.

* Data-driven crime prevention systems.

Successful nations defeat criminal networks not merely with force, but with superior intelligence.

*3. Community Security Partnership*

Security cannot be achieved by government alone.

Every community must become an active partner in safeguarding lives and property.

This requires:

* Community policing structures.

* Local security volunteer networks.

* Traditional institution participation.

* Youth engagement programs.

* Early-warning reporting systems.

Citizens are often the first to notice emerging threats.

*4. Economic Empowerment as a Security Strategy*

Lasting peace requires economic opportunity.

Millions of young Nigerians possess enormous potential but lack access to productive opportunities.

TMN advocates:

* Large-scale agricultural empowerment programs.

* Agro-processing hubs.

* Skills acquisition initiatives.

* Entrepreneurship financing.

* Rural economic development projects.

Every young person productively employed is one less person vulnerable to recruitment into criminal activities.

*5. Border Security and National Sovereignty*

Nigeria must strengthen the protection of its borders through:

* Advanced surveillance technology.

* Border monitoring systems.

* Improved immigration controls.

* Regional security cooperation.

* Enhanced maritime and land border security.

National security begins with effective control of national territory.

*6. Justice, Accountability and Victim Support*

Criminality thrives where accountability is weak.

Nigeria must ensure:

* Swift prosecution of terrorism financiers.

* Stronger anti-money laundering enforcement.

* Protection of witnesses.

* Compensation for victims and affected families.

* Rehabilitation support for rescued victims.

Justice must be visible, fair and effective.

*A NATIONAL CALL*

We call upon all levels of government, security institutions, civil society organizations, traditional rulers, faith leaders, labour unions, professional groups and citizens to work together in confronting insecurity.

The safety of Nigerians must remain above politics.

The protection of lives must remain our highest priority.

The future of our children must remain our greatest responsibility.

We therefore demand every lawful and necessary effort toward securing the immediate and safe release of all persons currently held captive by criminal elements anywhere in Nigeria.

We also call for sustained reforms that address not only the symptoms of insecurity, but its root causes.

Nigeria possesses the resources, the institutions, the talent and the people required to overcome these challenges.

What is required is collective resolve, strategic leadership and national unity.

The Movement Nigeria remains committed to working with labour organizations, professional bodies, educational institutions, community leaders and patriotic Nigerians to develop practical policy solutions capable of restoring security, prosperity and hope to our nation.

Through initiatives such as the Labour Institute, LabourDirect.com and other national development platforms, we will continue to contribute ideas, policies and partnerships aimed at building a safer and more productive Nigeria.

Let this candlelight gathering not only honor the victims of insecurity but also renew our collective determination to build a nation where every citizen can live, learn, work and prosper in peace.

May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

United Nations (UN) Calls For Swift Release Of Kidnapped School Staff, Students In Nigeria

By Ighomuaye Lucky. O

The United Nations (UN) has called for an immediate and quick action to secure the release of students and teachers abducted by armed groups in Nigeria, stressing that schools must be protected as safe environments for learning and development.

The appeal was made in Abuja by Mr. Malick Fall, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, during a meeting with a delegation from the National Safe Schools Response Coordination Centre led by its Commandant, Dr. Samuel Umanah.

The discussions centered on recent incidents of school abductions, as well as ongoing efforts to support affected families, schools, and communities in Oyo and Borno states.

Fall expressed concern over the ongoing captivity of the victims and strongly condemned the violence, noting that two teachers had already been killed during the incidents.


He further said the attacks highlight the growing risks facing children, teachers, and educational settings across the country.

According to him, protecting children’s right to access education in a secure and dignified setting must remain a national priority.

He urged authorities to fully implement the Minimum Standards for Safe Schools, strengthen emergency response systems, and adopt data-driven strategies to improve school security.




“We are deeply saddened that these school children and their teachers are still being held by armed groups.


“Schools must remain safe havens for learning and not places of fear. Children should never be a target. These incidents underscore the urgent need to strengthen the protection of children, educators and learning spaces”, Fall said.



While acknowledging the efforts of government authorities and security agencies, the UN official urged stronger and more coordinated action to secure the safe and swift release of all abducted students and teachers.


He also urged authorities to ensure that the perpetrators of the attacks are brought to justice and to reinforce measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

American Donald J. Trump slams Nigeria's Pro-terrorists President Tinubu over his UK trip in the midst of terror attacks in Nigeria

American President Donald Trump has slammed the Nigeria's pro terrorists President Bola Hamed Tinubu over his UK trip in the midst of terror attacks in Nigeria. 

APC led terrorists regime since 2015 till date both under Major General Muhammadu Buhari and his successor Tinubu have demonstrated to the whole wide world that they are less concerned about the Nigerians lives and their properties.

Donald Trump' said: “The situation in Nigeria is a TOTAL D!SASTER. Massive, coordinated suicide bombings tonight in Maiduguri. A hospital, a major market, the post office—all h!t! Many innocent people killed. 

This is what happens when you have NO LEADERSHIP and open borders for terrorrists! While his country is in a state of NATIONAL EMERGENCY, President Tinubu is currently in the UK on a "State Visit."

Unbelievable! Shaking hands and having fancy dinners while his people are being blown up? I don't think so! Prime Minister Starmer should tell him to get on a plane and GO HOME IMMEDIATELY. You don't stay abroad during a cr!s!s like this. 

A real leader is on the ground with the military and the people, not cutting ribbons in London. Nigeria is a great country with wonderful people, but they are being let down by a government that isn't focused on STRENGTH and SECUR!TY.

Close the borders, find the terrorists, and PROTECT YOUR CITIZENS. Everything else can wait. TRUTH!”

Donald Trump.

Me: Thank you President Donald Trump for your attention in Nigeria, Hoping that you would continue to keep an eye on our situation Here SHALOM 🙏

ALAAFIN CONDEMNS OLD OYO NATIONAL PARK KILLINGS- CALLS IT ASSAULT ON YORUBA HERITAGE, URGE FOR MILITARY BASE AT OTEFON AND FULL INVESTIGATION INTO THE KILLINGS

His Imperial Majesty (IKU BABA YEYE), Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade, The Alaafin of Oyo — Keeper of the Throne, Shield of the Yoruba, today issued a thunderous condemnation of the brutal attack on Oloka village and the killing of civilians and rangers within Old Oyo National Park, declaring it an assault on Yoruba sovereignty and ancestral heritage and also sympathize with the families of the forest guards

In a release issued by His Director of Media and Publicity, Bode Durojaiye, after a solemn proclamation read at the imperial Court of Oyo, the Alaafin stated:

“The recent brutal killings inside Old Oyo National Park — especially the massacre at Oloko — is not merely a ‘security breach.’ It is a dagger plunged into the heart of our ancestral empire. Our sacred forests, our game reserves, our historic grounds — where our kings once hunted with spears and drums — are now being turned into slaughter yards by armed marauders. THIS WILL NOT STAND.”_

His Majesty has decreed the following actions:

*Official Condemnation* — of the senseless murder of innocent civilians, rangers, and travelers in Old Oyo National Park — demanding full, transparent investigation and immediate arrest of all perpetrators.

*Establishment of Military Base* — designation of Otefon Village as a permanent *Armed Military Base of the kingdom* — to fortify the region and secure the Oyo-Oduduwa corridor.

Deployment of Yoruba Defense Force Battalion — under joint command of the Nigerian Army and traditional warrior chiefs — to patrol the park 24/7 and repel invaders.

Federal Recognition — call on the President and Ministry of Defence to declare Otefon a *Strategic National Security Zone* — and fund construction of barracks, watchtowers, and helipad within next few months.

The Paramount Ruler who described banditry and other security challenges facing the country as "" gory, worrisome and disturbing"", pointed out that security is critical to the survival of any nation to forestall lawlessness, chaos and disorder.

Oba Owoade lauded President Bola Tinubu's demonstration, through actions, that ending insecurity is one of his administration’s foremost concern.

Said he, "" our ancestors did not build empires to watch them crumble under banditry. We will rebuild the walls — not with mud, but with steel. Not with prayers alone, but with patrols. Not with silence — but with thunder.” — Alaafin stressed.

NIGERIAN ARMY TROOPS RESCUE RETIRED COLONEL FROM KIDNAPPERS IN PLATEAU STATE

The Nigerian Troops of Operation ENDURING PEACE (OPEP) have successfully rescued a retired senior officer of the Nigerian Army, Colonel Ajanaku (Rtd), following his abduction by unidentified gunmen in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.

According to a statement by the military, the retired senior officer was kidnapped in the early hours of 5 January 2026 at about 0045 hours from his residence opposite the Salvation Army Church along Rukuba Road, Bassa LGA. Upon receipt of the distress call, troops of Sectors 1 and 3, Operation ENDURING PEACE, swiftly mobilised and trailed the kidnappers along their withdrawal route through the Wildlife Park.

The troops, in conjunction with the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) Tracking Team and local vigilantes, sustained intensive search and rescue operations, combing suspected criminal hideouts across caves and rocky high grounds within the general area.

Later in the day, at about 1400 hours, the kidnappers contacted the wife of the abducted retired officer and demanded a ransom of Two Hundred Million Naira (₦200,000,000.00). Having observed the overwhelming presence and pressure from pursuing troops, the kidnappers issued threats to kill the victim if search operations were not halted.

Consequently, troops tactically switched to covert operations, which culminated in the successful rescue of Colonel Ajanaku (Rtd) at about 1730 hours on 5 January 2026 at the outskirts of the Rafiki Axis, Bassa LGA, Plateau State, without any ransom payment.

The rescued retired officer is currently undergoing medical examination at the Operation ENDURING PEACE Medical Centre and is in stable condition. He will be debriefed to provide vital intelligence that will aid ongoing follow-up operations.

Meanwhile, troops of Operation ENDURING PEACE are continuing aggressive combing operations within the surrounding forests to apprehend the fleeing kidnappers and dismantle their criminal network.

The Nigerian Army, through Operation ENDURING PEACE, reaffirms its unwavering commitment to safeguarding lives and property and will continue to deny criminal elements freedom of action across the Joint Operations Area.

Terrorism: US Congress Urged To Pressure Nigeria To Scrap Sharia Law, Disband Hisbah Over Alleged Religious Persecution

United States lawmakers have been urged to mount direct diplomatic pressure on the Nigerian government to abolish Sharia criminal law in the 12 northern states where it has operated since 2000 and to disband Hisbah religious-police groups accused of enabling extremist abuses.

The call was made on Tuesday during a joint House congressional session convened in response to President Donald Trump’s recent redesignation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). The hearing, led by Appropriations Vice Chair Mario Díaz-Balart, focused on what witnesses described as escalating religious persecution and systemic violence against Christian communities across northern Nigeria and the Middle Belt.

Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, Dr. Ebenezer Obadare, told lawmakers that Sharia-based governance and Hisbah enforcement structures have become “ideological and operational cover” for jihadist groups such as Boko Haram, ISWAP and radicalised Fulani militias, who allegedly carry out forced conversions, enforce extremist rule and operate with “near-total impunity.”

Obadare outlined a two-step policy recommendation for Washington: “The United States should work with the Nigerian military to neutralise Boko Haram, and then pressure President Tinubu to make Sharia law unconstitutional in the twelve northern states and disband the Hisbah groups enforcing Islamic law on all citizens regardless of religion.”

While acknowledging that Nigeria has taken steps following Trump’s CPC directive—including new airstrikes on Boko Haram targets, recruitment of 30,000 additional police officers and the declaration of a national security emergency—Obadare insisted the U.S. must “keep up the pressure.”

Throughout the hearing, lawmakers cited recent mass abductions, blasphemy imprisonments and deadly attacks on Christian communities as evidence that the Nigerian state is failing to prosecute perpetrators and, in some cases, enabling what they termed “religious cleansing.”

Rep. Chris Smith described Nigeria as “ground zero for global anti-Christian persecution,” while Rep. Brian Mast demanded immediate disarmament of militias and the prosecution of attackers.

Officials from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and Alliance Defending Freedom International detailed ongoing atrocities and urged the U.S. government to impose conditionality on security assistance and apply targeted sanctions to compel accountability.

Both Republican and Democratic members signalled support for Díaz-Balart’s FY26 appropriations proposals aimed at addressing the crisis. Lawmakers confirmed that a formal report is being drafted for President Trump, which may recommend restrictions on U.S. aid should Nigerian authorities fail to act.

Nigeria was first designated as a CPC in 2020 under Trump, a status reversed by President Biden before being reinstated on October 31 this year, alongside a warning of possible military action if Abuja does not curb extremist violence.

Tuesday’s hearing solidified a growing consensus in Washington: that dismantling Sharia criminal codes and eliminating Hisbah religious police are now seen as central to addressing what U.S. legislators describe as one of the world’s most severe and underreported religious-freedom crises.

NIGERIAN ARMY: TROOPS OF 3 BRIGADE RESCUE 7 KIDNAPPED VICTIMS IN TSANYAWA, KASTINA STATE

Gallant troops of Operation MESA comprising personnel of  3 Brigade Nigerian Army in conjunction with the Nigerian Air Force and Nigerian Police while on fighting patrol on 29 November 2025, at about 2300 hours, received a distressed call from Yankamaye Cikin Gari village in Tsanyawa Local Government Area on bandits activities. The troops who responded swiftly made contact with the bandits and successfully rescued 7 victims from the bandits who had already killed a 60-year-old woman in the area.

Upon receiving the information the troops pursued the bandits along their withdrawal route towards Rimaye, engaged them with a high volume of fire, and swiftly rescued the abducted victims. However 4 of the kidnapped victims are still unaccounted for.

According to the statement signed by Captain BABATUNDE ZUBAIRU who is the Assistant Director Army Public Relations of the 3 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, the bandits fled towards Kankia LGA in Katsina State and efforts are ongoing to track their location.

The Commander, 3 Brigade,  commended the troops for their bravery and prompt response. He urged members of the public to continue to cooperate with security agencies by providing timely and credible information that could assist the ongoing operations.

NIGERIAN ARMY TROOPS THWART MASSIVE TERRORIST NIGHT ATTACK ON CHIBOK COMMUNITIES

RESCUES 12 ABDUCTED TEENAGE GIRLS IN ASKIRA/UBA, BORNO STATE

Troops of the Nigerian Army have successfully thwarted a planned midnight attack on Chibok communities in Borno State and another development successfully rescued 12 teenage girls abducted by Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists in Mussa District of Askira/Uba Local Government Area, Borno State. The victims, aged between 15 and 20, were kidnapped on 23 November while harvesting crops on their family farmlands and were freed on Saturday, 29 November, following a swift, intelligence-led operation by troops of Operation HADIN KAI in the southern Borno axis, the Nigerian Army said.

According to the press release by the Nigerian Army on the respelled attack in Chibok which involved over 300 terrorists from multiple fronts, began at about 0250 hours (2:50 a.m.) Saturday and was decisively defeated through swift intelligence, tactical manoeuvre  and superior firepower by troops of 28 Task Force Brigade.

The troops, who were on alert, detected early enemy movement, enabling them to quickly assume battle positions and engage the terrorists from multiple fronts. The fierce firefight lasted for over two hours, during which the gallant soldiers held their ground firmly and prevented the terrorists from breaching the security of the adjoining towns.

The terrorists, on observing the break of day, started a disorderly withdrawal towards the Azir axis into the Sambisa Forest, attempting to cross the Main Supply Route Damboa–Biu. In response, 25 Brigade was tasked to occupy pre-designated ambush positions ahead of Azir Bridge to cut off and neutralize the fleeing terrorists, with guidance provided by a Nigerian Army Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.

The Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI deployed a Super Tucano aircraft and as the advancing interdiction forces closed in, the terrorists dispersed. Troops subsequently disrupted their withdrawal. No personnel or equipment was lost, underscoring the high level of combat readiness, professionalism and resilience displayed by the forces involved.

 

The rescued girls have been evacuated to a secure military facility where they are receiving comprehensive medical care, psychological support and debriefing. Upon completion of these processes, they will be formally reunited with their families. Their recovery has brought immense relief to the community, which had been gripped by fear following the abduction.

The rescued victims include Fatima Shaibu (17), Fatima Umaru (15), Hauwa Abubakar (18), Saliha Muhammed (15), Sadiya Umaru (17), Amira Babel (15), Zara Adamu (17), Nana Shaibu (15), Zainab Musa (18), Zainab Muhammed (17), Jamila Saidu (15) and Hauwa Hamidu (17).

The military high command commended the doggedness of the troops for their swift response and acknowledged the crucial support of security stakeholders and local informants whose timely information enabled the successful rescue. Troops continue to pursue ISWAP remnants across southern Borno to prevent further attacks and safeguard civilians.

The Nigerian Army calls on communities to continue supporting ongoing operations by providing credible and timely information, emphasizing that collaborative efforts are essential to defeating terrorism and ensuring lasting security.

While exploitation operations in and around Chibok remain ongoing, the Nigerian Army assures the public that concerted efforts are being intensified to track down escaping elements and deny them freedom of movement. The footage of the mass withdrawal of terrorists after the failed attack has been obtained and is being analyzed for further operational action.

The Nigerian Army reaffirms its relentless commitment to defending Nigeria’s territorial integrity and ensuring the safety of all citizens.

The prolonged war against Terrorists since 2009 has claimed many lives and cost Nigerian State fortune. The Christians have been the primary targets of terrorism in Nigeria.

Alert!!!! Armed Bandits Relocating from Kwara State To Ognomso, Oyo State

 

There have been reports of the Terrorists relocating to Ogbomosho areas in Oyo State.

The Bandits that have been terrorising Kwara State are reportedly moving out of the state to the neighbouring Oyo State enroute Ogbomosho axis.

An eye witness raises an alarm for the public and security operatives to be aware of the movement of the armed bandits.

Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday declared a nationwide State of emergency following a relentless pressure from the American President Donald Trump. 

The Primary targets of the armed Islamists Terrorists are Christian. Total extermination have carried out in many Christian dominated States in the Northern Nigeria. In the Southwest, a terrible attacks have been witnessed in Owo, Ondo State where a Catholic Church members and priests were killed. Igangan in Oyo State was ravaged by the Fulani armed bandits too. Many people were killed and houses razed.

The APC Government, been a pro-terrorists one since 2015 till date both under Major Gen Muhammadu Buhari and the incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have treated them as the untouchables first class citizens of the republic.

APC government came into power In 2015 on a campaign promises to end Boko Haram Terrorism and combat hunger but only succeed in creating multiple insecurity fronts and turning the country to the global capital of world poverty.

Labour Party National Chairman Nenadi Condemns Abduction Of Kebbi, Niger Pupils, Calls for Decisive Action on Insecurity

Nenadi 

The Interim National Chairman of the Labour Party in Nigeria, Senator Nenadi Usman, has expressed deep sorrow and alarm over the abduction of more than 300 pupils of St. Mary’s Catholic Primary and Secondary School, Papiri, in Agwarra Local Government Area of Niger State.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Senator Usman described the incident as a tragic reflection of Nigeria’s deteriorating security environment, noting that such a large-scale abduction “without early detection” underscores the gravity of the nation’s security challenges.

Nenadi warned that the Nigerian state “cannot continue to watch helplessly while its citizens are attacked with reckless abandon,” stressing that the country is “drifting dangerously towards the precipice of state failure.” 

LP Chair pinned that the recent escalation of violence nationwide—particularly the shutdown of schools due to safety concerns—should alarm all Nigerians.

Senator Usman urged the government to take urgent and decisive steps to reverse what she termed the country’s “dangerous descent into anarchy.” 

She highlighted the need to tackle widespread hunger and economic hardship, which she said are driving insecurity. “In any society where poverty has reached catastrophic levels, insecurity becomes an inevitable consequence,” she noted.

A Brigadier General Kidnapped , Others Killed as Terrorists Ambush Nigerian Military convoy In Borno State

Profile picture of Nigerian Army 
In a renewed fight against terrorists 

The Terrorists group of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) Friday night ambushed a Nigerian military convoy in Borno State, abducting a serving general and killing several soldiers including members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF).

The General reportedly kidnapped is a brigade commander and was said to be leading the troops. If confirmed by the Nigerian Army, this would be the first recorded instance of any extremist group in Nigeria capturing a serving General directly from the frontline.”.

Military authorities have not yet issued a statement on the incident, and details of casualty figures remain unclear.

The spokesperson for the Nigerian Army, Onyechi Anele, a lieutenant colonel, has not responded to an enquiry sent to her about the matter.

Following the American planned intervention against the terrorists groups that have killed thousands of innocent citizens, the Nigerian army renewed it's onslaught against the insurgents which may have warrant the ambush against the military Convoy in Borno State, the epicenter of Boko Haram insurgency.

Nigerian Army: Troops Rescue 86 Kidnapped Victims, Foil Terrorists Ambush, Arrest 28 Logistics Suppliers In Borno State

The Nigerian Army in a press statement has said the troops of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), Joint Task Force North East, have recorded another major success in the ongoing counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations in Borno State. 

In a statement on Sunday signed by Sani UBA who is the Media Information Officer  of the Joint Task Force North East Operation HADIN KAI, the Nigerian Army troops of 135 Special Forces Battalion, under Sector 2 OPHK on 9 November 2025, encountered Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists at Dutse Kura after discovering that terrorists were abducting civilians and vehicles along the Buratai–Kamuya Road.

The troops thwarted the attack, pursued the terrorists towards Mangari, and overpowered them in a follow-up encounter near a camp, forcing the insurgents to flee in disarray. A search of the area led to the discovery of 11 makeshift terrorists’ structures and the rescue of 86 kidnapped victims comprising men, women, and children.

Items recovered include one AK-47 rifle, five magazines with 73 rounds, four PKT ammunition belts, five civilian vehicles, five motorcycles, eight bicycles, and two logistics tricycles. The terrorists’ camp was destroyed in situ after clearance operations.  In a related operation, troops deployed at Mangada, arrested 29 terrorist logistics suppliers  enroute Chilaria with several items. Recovered items include two pickup vans and a tricycle loaded with Premium Motor Spirit, about 1,000 litres of petrol in jerricans, four gallons of engine oil, two new gun truck tyres, huge cache of medical consumables, and large quantities of foodstuffs and provisions.

All operations were conducted successfully with no casualty on the part of own troops. The Military High Command  commended the gallantry and professionalism of the troops while charging Operation HADIN KAI to sustain operations to deny terrorists freedom of action across the North East theatre.

  

The endless insurgents of Boko Haram, ISWAP, bandits, Fulani herdsmen and kidnapping gang for ransoms have been ravaging the country, since 2009. The complici

War Against Terrorism: US Military Considering Plans For Potential Strikes in Nigeria, 3 options on the table

The United States military has reportedly drafted contingency plans for possible military action in Nigeria following an order from President Donald Trump to "prepare to intervene" and protect Christians from attacks by Islamic militants. 

The plans, according to a source was submitted by US Africa Command (AFRICOM) to the Department of War include three options.

The first option is a 'Heavy Option'  Wich will involve deploying an aircraft carrier strike group to the Gulf of Guinea and launching fighter jets or long-range bombers to hit militant targets deep inside northern Nigeria.

The second option is termed 'Medium Option'. This option will employ targeted drone strikes using MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-1 Predator drones against known militant camps, convoys, and vehicles.

While the third option  called 'Light Option' will operate on providing and  Supporting Nigerian forces through intelligence sharing and logistics which will also activate joint operations against Boko Haram and other Islamist groups in the country.

Meanwhile, top military officials admit that limited airstrikes or drone operations may not end Nigeria's decades-long insurgency, and a full-scale campaign similar to Iraq or Afghanistan is unlikely. The Nigerian government has expressed concerns about US interference, emphasizing respect for Nigeria's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Nigerians have been suffering hells in the hands of different militias and Islamic terrorists groups since the Boko Haram onslaught that started in Borno State in 2009. ISWAP, bandits, herdsmen and many other armed groups have exterminated many innocent lives. APC government was enthroned in 2015 on the background of promises to end insecurity, end hunger and creation of million jobs per annum.

 

Both the incumbent Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his predecessor Major General Muhammadu Buhari have failed to genuinely fight the insurgency as government officials and military officers involved in proxy negotiations with the Terrorists.

Amnesty was reportedly offered to many of the so called repentant terrorists. The military becomes more ineffective as many of them too were reported to have been absolved into the military while the Victims of terrorism were never cared for and the displaced remained in various IDPs. The genocide and displacement are also aimed at taken over of the conquered areas by the bandits, Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen. Certainly there are enablers in APC led federal government as well as security apparatus of the Nigerian State. 

Non Muslim communities have been the primary targets. Hence the claims of genocide against Christians in Nigeria.

There's Genocide In Borno State, Boko Haram/ISWAP Reduces 176 Churches to 28, says Gwoza Christian Community Association

Against the Nigerian Government denials of any genocide in the country, the Gwoza Christian Community Association in Borno Borno State has insisted that there is an ongoing genocide being perpetrated against them by Boko Haram/ ISWAP terrorists 

The community Christian association, in a statement jointly signed by Rev. Ayuba John Bassa and Rev. Filibus K. Goma, national coordinator and chairman of the Board of Trustees respectively, said they had documentary evidence to back their claims.

According to the statement, association said: "When a Senator recently told Channels TV that there is no persecution or genocide against Christians in Borno — particularly in Gwoza — he denied the lived reality of thousands of people he does not know. We are indigenous Christians of Gwoza Local Government Area. What follows is not hearsay or political rhetoric; it is our testimony — a painful record of loss, displacement and erasure.

"Gwoza once had a thriving Christian presence. Before the insurgency, there were more than 176 large church buildings across the local government. Today, 148 of those churches were burnt and lie in ruins. Entire Christian neighbourhoods in Gwoza East and West were flattened; in many places, every Christian home was destroyed."

Reeling out other documented facts, the association further argued, "The human toll and destruction are detailed and specific. In Gava-West alone, 74 towns and villages were sacked, 36,946 families were dispersed, 99 churches were destroyed, and 292 people were killed in September 2013. In Attagara, 13 churches were destroyed, 1,738 families displaced and 140 Christians killed by 3 June 2014. By 9 August 2014, 2,203 Christian houses and 28 churches were destroyed, and 102 Christians — including three pastors — were killed in Gwoza town, Kamba and Ghraza. The total pastors killed by insurgents in Gwoza local government was 12. In other Christian towns within Gwoza, such as Ngoshe, Bokko, Pulka, Limankara, Ngoshe-sama, Barawa and Gava-North, both the loss of life and the physical destruction exceeded local expectations."

It also said that the human cost is staggering . About 107,000 Gwoza Christians are scattered in 27 internally displaced persons camps across seven Nigerian states and in the Minawao refugee camp in Cameroon, while almost 50,000 are squatting with relatives in towns and cities across Nigeria.

The association argued that this pattern — the destruction of churches, removal of Christian families, and official silence or inaction — raises an unavoidable question: Is there a systematic attempt to erase Christians and their heritage from Gwoza?

Concluding, it blamed the leadership of Christians for being too silent and compromised, while it appealed for thorough investigation to ascertain their outcry:

"We plead for truth, accountability and action. To CAN and all Christian bodies: your people are suffering. Will you continue to stand silent? Will you trade the lives and dignity of the displaced for political appointments or other gains?

"To the Nigerian government: fulfil your constitutional duty to protect every citizen irrespective of faith. Conduct independent investigations, prosecute those responsible for targeted attacks, ensure equitable reconstruction and restore the right of displaced Christians to return home with dignity and security.

"To Christians and people of conscience worldwide: pray, speak, advocate and act. Survivors in camps and ruined communities in Gwoza need more than sympathy — they need sustained attention, protection and a pathway to rebuild their lives and heritage.

"This is our testimony as indigenous Christians from Gwoza. The blood and ruins cry out for justice. We have endured atrocities for too long, hoping things would change. They have not. The time for denial and silence is over. Please talk about it until the world knows."

VIDEO: There's Christian Genocide In Nigeria, Maybe Tinubu led APC criminals should defend this

 

The documentary above is only in a community in Plateau State. Christian have been numerously terminated in Borno, Kastina, Benue state, Nasarawa , Sokoto Gombe and Kaduna states. Those girls kidnaped in Chibok community are all Christians. 

Whatever the name APC government called the terrorists groups, either Boko Haram, ISWAP , bandits, herdsmen or Criminals in kidnapping for ransoms, they are working on the same goal, extermination and capturing of the lands.

US Planned intervention Against Terrorism In Nigeria, Commendable _ LP

STATEMENT ON US PRESIDENT TRUMP'S INTENSION TO INTERVENE AGAINST KILLING OF CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA

Eleven years ago, before Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu railroaded the Nigerian system to declare him President over us, Tinubu wrote these exact words on his official Twitter handle, now X, of January 19, 2014: "The slaughtering of Christian worshippers is strongly condemnable. It calls to question the competence of Jonathan to protect Nigerians."  

At the time Tinubu made that statement in January of 2014, authoritative data provides that 11,000 Christians in Nigeria were killed by Islamists during a four-year period of the PDP's rule from 2009 to 2014. This genocide figure was by Boko Haram alone. Then another dimension of Christian massacres began from 2010 when Jihad extremists masquerading as Fulani herdsmen murdered another 6,500 Christians in another four-year period between 2010 and 2015. This was just before the Buhari and Tinubu APC merger successfully took over the federal government of Nigeria.

In comparison, with Nigeria under his watch as President and under just two years of Tinubu's administration between 2023 and 2025, the number of Christians massacred by Islamic extremists skyrocketed to 14,122, an almost 100% casualty increase in time ratio compared to the PDP years. 

Nigerians will recall that In order to rid the PDP and Jonathan government by portraying that administration as incompetent before Nigerians and the globe, especially in the security front, and to justify take over federal power, the same Tinubu and late former President Muhammadu Buhari led a high-powered delegation of their APC merger stalwarts to the United States to meet then US Secretary of State, Mr. John Kerry. This was on January 25, 2015. 

The mission was to drive home the point that insecurity in Nigeria was intolerable and they needed the support of the US government to help stop the genocide in Nigeria by getting rid of the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

It is therefore terribly wicked, godless and extremely unpatriotic of Bola Tinubu, now as President, to deny that there are no targeted Christian massacres in Nigeria. It is the height of shameless selfishness, betrayal of the Nigeria constitution and treason for either him, any regime agent or agency speaking for the administration to deny that there are no Christian massacres in Nigeria. This is especially considering that the figure of victims that made Tinubu and Buhari to lead a protest delegation to the United States in 2015 has now doubled under Tinubu's administration.

This is why, in the view of the Labour Party, we consider the offer of President Donald Trump to help Nigerians out of our security calamity under the current Tinubu-APC administration is godsent, timely and highly commendable.

The Labour Party therefore wishes to express heartfelt commendations on behalf of Nigerians to President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Sen. Ted Cruz, the United States Secretary of War Peter Hegseth, ex-Mayor Mike Arnold and other Americans for the immense work of research, evaluation and conviction they have demonstrated in their intervention initiative.

In their planned interventions, the Labour Party also wishes to entreat the US government to extend protection and sustainable security cover to liberal and moderate Muslim communities whose members are also targeted and in some occasions killed because of their sympathy or support for their Christian neighbours who are under the yoke of Islamic extremists' massacre, livelihood deprivations through violent farmland dispossession and displacements across many parts of Northern Nigeria and the Middle Belt states of our country. 

The Labour Party hereby also commends several Nigeria Muslim voices who have demonstrated remarkable patriotism in supporting the Donald Trump initiative to help protect their Nigerian Christian brethren, terror sacked communities and their livelihood for collective peace and progress. They have shown by their novel spirit of mutual humanity that one united Nigeria, irrespective of religion and political differences, is truly possible, if we have good leaders in place.

It is this kind of pan-Nigeria spirit and undiscriminating interfaith harmony Nigeria urgently needs today to overcome and put behind us the terrorist catastrophés that has been covertly promoted by Nigeria's successive governments since 2009 and which has come to a devastating climax in President Bola Tinubu's Muslim-Muslim regime.

Finally, we wish to heartily salute US music icon, Miss Nicki Minaj, for using her global youths and Gen-Z platform to draw attention to the genocide, unimaginable IDP homeland displacement crises and despair of millions of Northern Nigeria citizens who, though mostly Christians, have admixture of

collateral Muslim victims among them.

The Labour Party wishes to implore other famous artistes, sportsmen, movie stars, writers and philanthropic industrialists all over the globe to emulate Miss Minaj's sterling humanitarian heart, practical compassion and example. This is in the hope that their collective voice, oncoming global solidarity mobilization and sequel humanitarian concerts for millions of Nigeria's IDPs will spur President Tinubu, his administration's National Security Adviser, Mr. Nuhu Ribadu, and the government's Minister of Defence, Mr. Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, and Minister of State for Defence, Mr. Bello Muhammad Matawalle, to abolish their despicable, complicit long standing policy of pacifying these soulless mass murderers with billions of Nigerians' taxpayers money. 

The above disgraceful policy, to borrow President Trump's word, involves officials and military brass of the Tinubu federal government regularly sitting with fully armed terrorists, ransom kidnapping bandits and rapists, including attending the marriage of children of these mass murderers in their forest lairs. A terrorist engagement policy unheard-of anywhere in the world.

Spoke's person of Terrorists And Bandits in Nigeria Sheikh Gumi Barred from performing Hajj, deports him back to Nigeria by Saudi Authorities

Authorities in Saudi Arabia have stopped Nigerian Sheikh Gumi from performing Hajj, deports him back to Nigeria

Gumi 

Saudi Arabia has stopped Kaduna-based Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi from performing the 2025 Hajj and deported him back to Nigeria.

Sheikh Gumi confirmed this in a post made on Monday, May 26, 2025, via his Facebook page.

He said the Saudi government had granted him a visa to enter the country for Hajj, but he was not allowed to enter Medina to begin his religious duties.

According to him, “Due to some reasons related to my views on world politics, the authorities in Saudi Arabia do not want me to be present at Hajj even though they have granted me a visa,” Sheikh Gumi said in a post on his Facebook page.

He added, “I am grateful to the authorities in Nigeria who have pledged to engage with the Saudi authorities on this matter.”

 

Sheikh Gumi is part of a delegation of scholars sponsored by the Nigerian Hajj Commission (NAHCON) to travel to Saudi Arabia for religious services.

Gumi arrived in Medina with other clerics last Saturday at around 10:30pm on an Umza Air flight, but upon arrival at the city’s airport, Saudi immigration officials prevented the cleric from entering the country.

Reports revealed that Sheikh Gumi has now returned to Nigeria to continue his daily activities, especially teaching.

It is note worthy to state that the Islamic Scholar has be the mouth piece of the terrorists, Bandits and kidnappers who have caused a lot of havock to the people of Southern Kaduna and beyond.

The APC led Federal government of Nigeria usually give him police security to move around as the spokeman of the bandits. The government through the Nigerian Army rehabilitates terrorists while they abandon their victims. 

There were claims of terrorists been absorbed into the Nigerian Army. Many of the Nigerian youths especially of the southern origins are jettisoning joining the army currently.

No serious country will tolerate terrorists and their sympathizers but under the APC governed Nigeria since 2015 till date, like fiction, the level of insecurities have been aggravated and compounded, lives of the law abiding citizens have become miserable and short due to reasons of insecurities.

Order countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE have arrested Nigerian terrorists and sponsors of terrorism in their country who worked freely here.

VIDEO: “I Was Abducted , Stripped, Tortured After Rejecting N100m Bribe” - NANS President Exposes Seyi Tinubu"

In a bombshell revelation that has ignited nationwide outrage and intensified the leadership crisis rocking the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Comrade Atiku Abubakar Isah, the embattled President of the association, has accused Seyi Tinubu—the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu—of orchestrating his abduction, torture, and forced resignation following his refusal of a N100 million bribe.

In a viral video confession released on social media, Isah narrated how he was abducted on April 15, 2025, shortly after filing a formal complaint at the Defence Headquarters in Abuja regarding threats to his life.

 He claimed the abduction was politically motivated and part of a broader plot to remove him from office by force.

“They offered me N100 million to resign as NANS President. I rejected it because I was elected by students, not politicians. That’s when they came for me,” Isah declared in the video.

According to him, he was blindfolded, stripped naked, physically assaulted, and taken to an undisclosed location where he was coerced into recording a scripted resignation speech. The video was later broadcast on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), which Isah says was part of a state-backed propaganda effort.

“They forced me to read a resignation script and aired it on NTA to make it look legitimate. It was psychological and physical torture,” he stated, visibly emotional in the footage.

Isah alleged that Seyi Tinubu perceived his student leadership as a political threat, especially after the 125th NANS Convention in Abuja, where Tinubu reportedly expressed disdain for his emergence as president.

“Seyi Tinubu is a bad influence on Nigerian youths. He has no respect for democratic processes or student voices. He’s using the state machinery to silence opposition,” Isah claimed.

His legal counsel, Barr. A.O. Ochogwu, has since petitioned the Inspector General of Police and the Department of State Services (DSS), demanding an investigation. The petition lists Seyi Tinubu, Olusola Ladoja (a rival factional leader), and unnamed NTA officials as accomplices in the abduction and abuse.

In swift reaction, a support group known as Friends of Seyi Tinubu (FOST) dismissed the allegations as a “desperate smear campaign.” In a press release, the group described Isah as a “self-acclaimed president” and denied any political or criminal involvement by Seyi Tinubu.

“These allegations are baseless and politically motivated. They are designed to tarnish the image of a private citizen who has no role in student unionism,” the group stated.

Meanwhile, students from various tertiary institutions have taken to the streets in protest, demanding accountability. Demonstrators are calling on the National Assembly to investigate the abuse of power and alleged misuse of the state-owned broadcaster, NTA, for political manipulation.

A student leader from the University of Abuja said, “If student leaders can be kidnapped, tortured, and coerced into resignation for refusing bribes, then our democracy is under attack. We demand justice for Comrade Isah.”

As of the time of this report, neither the Nigerian Police Force, the Presidency, nor the Nigerian Television Authority has issued an official statement in response to the grave allegations.

The incident has amplified existing concerns about political interference in student affairs and the vulnerability of youth leaders in Nigeria’s democratic space.
