US, Nigeria Agrees To Boost Security Collaboration With Intelligence Sharing And Military Support

Wale busari03 mins

The United States and the Federal Government of Nigeria have agreed to strengthen security cooperation, with commitments to expand intelligence sharing and provide military support for nationwide counter-terrorism and counter-extremism operations. The agreement follows a series of high-level meetings in Washington last week between senior Nigerian officials and key US Government agencies, aimed at deepening defence ties and exploring new areas of collaboration. The Nigerian delegation, led by National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, met with officials from the US Congress, the White House Faith Office, the State Department, the National Security Council, and the Department of Defense. Other members included Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi, Chief of Defence Staff General Olufemi Oluyede, Chief of Defence Intelligence Lieutenant General Emmanuel Undiandeye, Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, and representatives from the Office of the National Security Adviser. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, said the meetings provided an opportunity to address misconceptions about Nigeria’s security situation, including claims of genocide, and to emphasize that violence affects multiple religious and ethnic communities. “The discussions allowed us to correct misconceptions, foster a solution-driven partnership with the United States, reinforce mutual trust, and advance a coordinated approach to protecting vulnerable communities, particularly in the Middle Belt,” Onanuga said. He added that the US has expressed willingness to provide complementary support, including humanitarian aid for affected populations and technical assistance to enhance early-warning systems. Both countries have agreed to implement a non-binding cooperation framework immediately and to establish a Joint Working Group to coordinate actions in priority areas. The Nigerian government also reiterated its commitment to improving civilian protection and addressing concerns around religious freedom and security. “The Federal Government recognizes the heightened sensitivities surrounding religious freedom and security and assures citizens that firm, urgent, and coordinated measures are being taken to safeguard the nation,” Onanuga concluded.

Wale busari02 mins

A man identified as Dan Gaske Mai Masara has been reportedly ki-lled by his wife only three days after they got married, leaving residents of Tashar Aibo in Jibia Local Government, Katsina State, in shock. The incident was said to have taken place on Sunday afternoon. Community members revealed that Dan Gaske was asleep when his wife allegedly attacked him, stabbing him in the neck with a knife. An associate of the deceased, Mohammad Jibo, shared the tragic development online, using it as a cautionary message to others. He wrote: If you are in an unhealthy relationship or marriage, quit it now. If you allow anything to happen to you, you caused it yourself and nothing might happen thereafter! This man married this woman on 18/11/2025 and she used a knife to slaughter him on 23/11/2025 when he was sleeping in the afternoon as posted by his associate. The best we can do now is to pray for his departed soul to find Allah’s mercy. A word is said to be enough for the wise. Ours is to always give advice not because we know better but because we care. The circumstances that led to the attack remain unclear, and authorities have not yet made any official comments on the matter.

Paystack Sacks Co-founder Ezra Olubi Before Sexual Harassment Investigation Concludes

Wale busari02 mins

Paystack has terminated the contract of its Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Ezra Olubi, following allegations that he engaged in sexual relations with a junior employee. Olubi confirmed his dismissal on Saturday, stating that the decision was made before the company completed its investigation into claims of sexual harassment against him. The controversy began in mid-November when a social media post accused Olubi of abusive behavior, leading users to uncover explicit tweets from earlier in his career. In response, Paystack suspended Olubi and initiated a formal investigation, announcing that it had established a review process and intended to bring in an independent investigator. Olubi said he was not given the opportunity to respond to the allegations prior to his termination and argued that the decision may have violated both the terms of his suspension and the company’s internal policies. “My legal team is now reviewing the process that led to my purported termination, including its consistency with internal policies. They will take the steps they consider appropriate, and I will not be commenting further on this matter at this time,” he said.

Orji Uzor Kalu Claims Politicians Are Fueling Killings And Abductions To Destabilise Tinubu Government

Wale busari03 mins

Former Abia State governor and Senate Chief Whip, Orji Uzor Kalu, has accused politicians of orchestrating the recent rise in killings and abductions across Nigeria to undermine President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Kalu said the wave of attacks is not random but part of a calculated plan, drawing parallels to attempts to destabilise former President Goodluck Jonathan. He declined to name the alleged sponsors but suggested both local and foreign actors are involved. “What we are seeing is always a routine, something that goes with the elections. When you have an election, people will try to pressure the government in power for all kinds of things to start happening. And you can remember when President Jonathan was here, a similar thing happened,” Kalu stated. He added that the ongoing insecurity is a strategic move linked to political manoeuvring ahead of upcoming elections. According to him, the attacks mirror past periods of heightened unrest aimed at weakening the incumbent government. Despite his concerns, Kalu expressed confidence in President Tinubu’s response to the crisis, noting that the President had cancelled official engagements to focus on national security following several high-profile abductions. “For the first time, you see the president cancelling all his engagements. Today is Sunday, and he faced security challenges. He faced everything about security,” he said. Kalu assured Nigerians that the government is making every effort to rescue abducted victims, including recently kidnapped schoolgirls. “Those girls will be recovered. The government is making every effort to make sure these people are recovered,” he said, describing the current situation as “not the best of times” for the country. He also praised the military and security agencies, acknowledging that service chiefs and operatives have been fully deployed to restore peace and security.

Nigeria Won’t Break Up, Says Oluremi Tinubu As Leaders Urge Global Support To Tackle Insecurity

Wale busari03 mins

The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has reaffirmed her belief that Nigeria will remain united and overcome its challenges. Represented by Bishop Stephen Adegbite at a thanksgiving service in Abuja for the investiture of Most Rev. Sunday Onuoha as Archbishop on Special Duties, she said the nation’s hope rests in God and urged citizens to keep praying for Nigeria and the Church. She noted that while Nigeria welcomes assistance from abroad, the country will not be intimidated or reduced to a disgrace. She added that Nigerians will celebrate Christmas in peace and joy. Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Benjamin Kalu also stressed the importance of international partnerships in addressing insecurity. He said the government can work with global allies without compromising the nation’s sovereignty, adding that the President is open to collaborations that will benefit the country. Kalu highlighted the key role of the Church in promoting unity, stability, and progress, saying effective nation-building requires every stakeholder to be involved. He praised Archbishop Onuoha for helping bridge the gap between government and faith-based communities. Archbishop Onuoha, speaking with journalists, said Nigeria desperately needs support to confront its growing challenges, especially insecurity. According to him, anyone who thinks the nation does not need help is living in denial. He explained that seeking security assistance is no different from seeking financial or humanitarian support. He called for an end to blame-shifting, emphasising that the loss of any life is a tragedy that goes beyond ethnic or religious identity. Onuoha pledged to work with the Church and other partners to promote peace and unity across the country.

Bishop David Oyedepo delivered a forceful message of defiance, insisting that Nigeria will not be overtaken by extremist ideology despite the wave of deadly attacks targeting Christian communities. He urged worshippers to remain unshaken, condemning the violence and pronouncing curses on those behind the killings and abductions.

Oyedepo told the congregation that their prayers would trigger divine judgment, warning that calamity awaits the masterminds of the violence. His words rang through the service: “Nigeria will never become an Islamic state… The church of Christ in Nigeria is indestructible… Every perpetrator and their sponsors come under a curse today… In the camp of the wicked, there shall be catastrophe.” Papa Oyedepo pic.twitter.com/ztUyxVRSf4 — Ijere Thomas Chukwuma, Ph.D (@chucksijere) November 23, 2025

Breaking: Tinubu Orders Withdrawal of Police Officers from VVIPs

Wale busari02 mins

President Bola Tinubu has directed that police officers be withdrawn from VIP protection duties to strengthen security across communities. The instruction was issued during a security meeting with top service chiefs, including Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, and Director-General of the Department of State Services Tosin Adeola Ajayi. The move comes amid rising abductions and security threats nationwide. Going forward, VIPs seeking protection will be required to request well-armed personnel from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, allowing the police to focus on their primary duties. Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, noted that many areas, especially remote communities, have limited police presence, making it difficult to ensure public safety. “In view of the current security challenges facing the country, President Tinubu is keen on boosting police presence in all communities. He has approved the recruitment of 30,000 additional police officers and is working with states to upgrade police training facilities nationwide,” the statement added.
