Fola Badmus02 mins

The Nigerian Army has announced the rescue of 86 kidnapped victims and the arrest of 29 terrorist logistics suppliers during coordinated counter-terrorism operations in Borno State. According to a statement issued by Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) on Sunday, troops of the 135 Special Forces Battalion under Sector 2 OPHK encountered Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists at Dutse Kura on November 9, 2025, while responding to reports of abductions along the Buratai–Kamuya Road. The troops reportedly foiled the attack, pursued the insurgents toward Mangari, and overpowered them in a follow-up clash near their camp, forcing the terrorists to flee in disarray. During the operation, 86 abducted civilians, including men, women, and children, were rescued. Troops also discovered and destroyed 11 makeshift terrorist structures within the area. Recovered items included one AK-47 rifle, five magazines containing 73 rounds, four PKT ammunition belts, five civilian vehicles, five motorcycles, eight bicycles, and two logistics tricycles. In a separate operation, troops deployed at Mangada intercepted 29 suspected terrorist logistics suppliers heading to Chilaria. Recovered from them were two pickup vans, a tricycle loaded with 1,000 litres of petrol, four gallons of engine oil, two gun truck tyres, a large cache of medical supplies, and significant quantities of foodstuffs and provisions. The military confirmed that no casualties were recorded among troops during the operations. The Military High Command commended the troops for their gallantry and professionalism, urging them to sustain efforts to deny terrorists freedom of action across the North East.

FG Dismisses UK Travel Warning, Says Nigeria Safer Than Abroad

Wale busari05 mins

The Federal Government has rejected the United Kingdom’s recent travel advisory, asserting that Nigeria is safe for both citizens and foreign visitors amid ongoing security improvements. The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office warned against all travel to Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe, Katsina, and Zamfara states due to terrorism, kidnappings, and escalating violence. It also advised limiting travel to Bauchi, Kaduna, Kano, Kebbi, Jigawa, Sokoto, Niger, Kogi, Plateau, Taraba, and parts of the Federal Capital Territory, citing rising crime and potential unrest. Speaking to The PUNCH on Sunday, Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris said the government is “fully aware of security challenges and is taking concrete steps to address them, ensuring safety for Nigerians and foreigners alike.” Idris highlighted that President Bola Tinubu has recently restructured top security positions and increased investments in military operations and intelligence, adding, “Our security challenges will soon be a thing of the past. Foreign nationals in Nigeria can feel confident about their safety as the government continues to enhance security measures.” The Gombe State Government described the advisory as “unfounded and unfair.” Ismaila Misilli, the state’s DG of Press Affairs, said Gombe remains one of Nigeria’s most peaceful states, with no record of insurgency, communal conflicts, or banditry in recent years. “Gombe is safe, welcoming, and open for business. We question the basis of the UK’s assessment,” he said. Kano State officials also downplayed the advisory, with Chief Press Secretary Mustapha Muhammad noting that the UK may not be aware of ongoing local security measures, including strategic deployment of military personnel to border areas to protect communities. Borno State highlighted significant progress in restoring peace. Governor Babagana Zulum’s Special Adviser on Security, General Abdullahi Ishaq (retd.), said Maiduguri is now safer than the nation’s capital, Abuja, citing successful community engagement that has led to numerous insurgent surrenders. He added that agricultural output has increased due to the relative peace in the region. The UK advisory also warned travelers about risks in the South-East, South-South, and South-West regions, including militant attacks, kidnappings, separatist clashes, and violent crimes in cities such as Lagos. Nigeria continues to face security challenges from Boko Haram insurgency, armed banditry, separatist movements, and militancy in the Niger Delta. Recently, US President Donald Trump designated Nigeria as a “country of particular concern,” citing threats to Christians and directing the Pentagon to consider military options. Idris refuted claims of religious persecution, stating that 17,000 terrorists are currently in custody and reiterating that the Federal Government is committed to ensuring safety for all. The government insists that despite challenges, significant progress has been made, and Nigeria remains safe for its citizens, investors, and foreign visitors.

FCT Minister, Wike Orders Property Owners to Pay N5m Fine Within 14 Days

Wale busari03 mins

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has issued a final 14-day deadline for property owners in Asokoro, Maitama, Garki, and Wuse to pay a N5 million penalty for violating approved land-use regulations. Lere Olayinka, Wike’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, stated on Sunday that the grace period begins Tuesday, November 11, and runs until November 25, 2025. Property owners who fail to comply will face enforcement action from the FCT Administration. “The Minister has granted defaulters a final 14-day window to settle the N5 million violation fee and other applicable charges for illegal land-use conversions,” Olayinka said. The directive follows Wike’s earlier approval on September 3, 2025, which imposed the N5 million fine and a 7.5 percent levy on the assessed capital value of properties converted without FCT approval. The action was based on a report from a ministerial committee that investigated land-use abuses, and the administration had previously published the names of 374 defaulters. The affected properties include Gana and Usuma Streets in Maitama; Yakubu Gowon Crescent in Asokoro; Aminu Kano and Adetokunbo Ademola Crescents in Wuse II; and Ladoke Akintola Boulevard, Gimbiya, and Onitsha Streets in Garki II. Other addresses include Ogbomosho Street, Lafia Close, Yola Street, Abriba Close, Danbatta Street, Ringim Close, and Ilorin Street in Garki I. Owners who regularise their land use within the 14-day period will be issued new Certificates of Occupancy and Statutory Rights of Occupancy reflecting the approved use, along with a renewed 99-year tenure. However, the minister’s consideration does not apply to properties that have been withdrawn or revoked due to non-development, unpaid ground rent, or other violations.

NPFL Slams ₦9m Fine On Katsina United, Orders Home Games Behind Closed Doors After Violent Clash

Wale busari03 mins

The Nigeria Premier Football League has fined Katsina United a total of ₦9 million and ordered the club to play all remaining home matches behind closed doors in Jos, following violent scenes during their 1–1 draw with Barau FC. According to a statement issued on Sunday, Katsina United were found guilty of several breaches, including poor crowd control, failure to ensure adequate security, and allowing unauthorised persons access to restricted areas. The NPFL said fans threw dangerous objects onto the pitch, injuring some Barau FC players and harassing match officials. The league described the club’s supporters’ behaviour as “conduct capable of bringing the game into disrepute.” The sanctions include ₦3 million for fans’ misconduct and throwing objects, ₦2 million for poor security arrangements, and ₦4 million compensation for medical bills, damages to Barau’s team buses, and for holding players and officials hostage after the match. The league further directed that Katsina United relocate to the New Jos Stadium for all future home games, which will be played without spectators. The club has 48 hours to appeal the decision. The disciplinary action follows reports that Barau FC’s Nana Abraham suffered a neck injury after being attacked by fans moments after scoring the equaliser in the 69th minute. However, Katsina United denied any incident of violence or injury, calling the reports “baseless” and “an attempt to tarnish the club’s image.” The club’s media director, Nasir Gide, insisted that security personnel maintained order throughout the match and threatened legal action against outlets spreading false claims. This marks the second major disciplinary case this season, coming just weeks after Kano Pillars were fined ₦9.5 million and handed a points deduction for crowd violence in a home game against Shooting Stars.

Ondo State Government Warns Health Workers: Performance Will Determine Job Security

Wale busari03 mins

The Ondo State Government has issued a strong warning to health workers across its 18 Local Government Areas, citing poor performance in the primary healthcare sector. The Ondo State Primary Healthcare Development Agency (OSPHCDA) stated that the continued employment of health workers will now be based on their performance. Dr. Francis Akanbiemu, the agency’s Permanent Secretary, addressed primary healthcare directors on Sunday, expressing concern over weak results in key areas, particularly immunisation. He urged workers to step up their efforts or face the risk of being replaced. “Primary health workers have no excuse for underperformance, considering Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s administration has made significant investments in the sector, including ongoing projects and the recruitment of additional doctors and health personnel to improve service delivery,” Akanbiemu said. “From now on, performance will determine whether you remain in office.” He also called on health workers to conduct outreach and sensitisation programs to increase immunisation uptake, stressing that Ondo State has historically performed well in this area. Plans are underway to address challenges faced by staff in rural and hard-to-reach communities to ensure effective service delivery at the grassroots. While commending the governor for the prompt release of funds for various projects, Akanbiemu urged health workers to justify the government’s investment through improved performance. Dr. Victor Adefesoye, the state Director of Disease Control and Immunisation, also encouraged Local Government Coordinators to remain committed to achieving 100 per cent success in all health indicators across their areas. PUNCH Online reports that the government recently recruited 1,000 health professionals, all of whom have now been deployed to their respective posts across the state.

Ned Nwoko’s Brother Chuks Slams Him for Betrayal: “You Are Disgracing the Family”

Wale busari03 mins

Ned Nwoko’s brother, Chuks Nwoko, has unleashed a fiery message against his sibling amid the ongoing feud involving Regina Daniels’ elder brother, Sammy West. In a video message, Chuks expressed frustration over his inability to reach Ned, saying, “As a brother, I have tried to tell you the truth through this same medium, Facebook. You are bringing so much disrepute to the Nwoko name.” While he insisted he was not personally ashamed of Ned, he pointed out that many in the family are embarrassed by his actions. Chuks warned Ned about the consequences of his behavior, referencing Proverbs 14:12: “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” He accused Ned of flaunting behavior on social media that contradicts family values such as respect, hard work, and education, and of betraying everyone who has helped him throughout his life. He recounted how Ned, despite coming from a humble background, was sent to study in London with the support of family and well-wishers, only to disrupt households abroad and fail to honor those who assisted him. Chuks also criticized Ned’s personal relationships, including his marriage to an Anambra woman, accusing him of selfishness and disregard for tradition. Closing his message, Chuks urged Ned to repent and embrace humility, warning that continued misconduct would bring inevitable consequences. “Today is a day of repentance for you. Your actions have harmed many people, and if you do not change your ways, you will continue to reap the consequences,” he said, stressing that while he does not wish evil upon his brother, Ned must confront the damage he has caused. "Senator Ned Nwoko is reaping what he sowed. The first person he betrayed is my immediate elder brother. He should stop bringing shame to the Nwoko name." ~Chuks Nwoko pic.twitter.com/jqv628zF8j — Alabi (@the_Lawrenz) November 9, 2025

Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose visited ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Sunday, just days before celebrating his 65th birthday on November 15. The visit marked a rare moment of warmth between the two leaders, who have often been at odds politically.

The meeting comes amid a series of high-profile visits ahead of Fayose’s birthday, including a visit from former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo earlier in the week. Osinbajo said he chose to visit ahead of the celebration as he would be unavailable on the actual day. During the visit, Fayose and Obasanjo discussed national matters and exchanged friendly pleasantries. Osinbajo praised Fayose for his courage and consistency in public life, while Fayose described the visit as a sign of respect and friendship that transcends political differences. The photos of the gathering have caught public attention, highlighting a softer and more personal side of both political figures.
