Incorrect. He had a visa. From the US Embassy in Nairobi. It was valid. They vetted him there, and gave him a visa.
Then he landed in Miami, was detained for 11 hours, and deported to Istanbul.
THEN they branded him a terrorist.
A FIFA referee, simply because he’s Somali.
🇺🇸Trump at 9:00 PM — "Top Iranian officials called and asked me to stop the bombing."
🇮🇷Iran at 9:05 PM — "Get lost, liar. It is completely false. You are attempting to cover up a retreat from conflict with Iran."🔥
He is again underestimating Iran
Future generations of Nigerian leaders will remember President Tinubu as the man who courageously fixed our foundational and structural systems. A legacy written in gold forever.
Just in: A video from inside a court in occupied Jerusalem shows Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya appearing via video link and attempting to speak with his attorney before Israeli court security blocked the screen and terminated the call, preventing journalists from filming the exchange or the video appearance.
I listened carefully to what the attorney was saying to Dr. Abu Safiya. It appeared that Dr. Abu Safiya could not hear him. The attorney repeatedly stated that he could neither see nor hear Dr. Abu Safiya after his “captors turned off the camera.” He also informed him that some people were present in the courtroom to show their support and that they were waiting for the judge to arrive so that he could be brought back on screen before the court addressed the appeal.
This is Israel’s democracy. Dr. Abu Safiya has been subjected to starvation, abuse, and cruel torture, and this latest development only adds to concerns about the conditions he has endured and the lack of public scrutiny surrounding his case.
Water is the pulse of life — and the U.S. is deliberately targetting the lifeblood of the Iranian people.
As part of its aggression against Iran, the U.S. military has deliberately struck vital civilian water infrastructure in Sirik, Hormozgan, destroying two reservoirs with a combined capacity of 2,500 cubic meters.
These facilities supplied drinking water to more than 20,000 residents across ten villages.
This is not collateral damage — it is a calculated war crime and a flagrant violation of human rights and international humanitarian law.
The U.S. must be held accountable for committing such systematic brutal attacks on civilian life-sustaining infrastructure.
Stop glorifying terrorists, support troops to end insecurity, army commander urges Nigerians
The Commander, Infantry Corps of the Nigerian Army, Maj.-Gen. Godwin Mutkut, has called on Nigerians to stop glorifying terrorists and instead rally behind troops in the collective effort to end terrorism, insurgency and other security threats confronting the nation.
Mutkut who disclosed this while interacting with defence correspondents in Kaduna said that while constructive criticism was necessary in any democracy, persistent attacks on the military and the promotion of terrorist propaganda on social media and other platforms were counterproductive and capable of undermining national security efforts.
The senior military officer made the appeal while speaking on the sacrifices of troops and the role of citizens in supporting ongoing military operations across the country.
According to him, members of the Armed Forces of Nigeria continue to make enormous sacrifices daily in defence of the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, often at great personal cost.
He noted that infantry soldiers, in particular, bear the brunt of combat operations as they are usually the troops that confront terrorists directly on the battlefield.
“We are the main force that sees the enemy eyeball to eyeball. When people talk about casualties, most times they are referring to infantry soldiers because they are at the forefront of combat operations.
“However, every soldier in the Nigerian Army contributes to the fight. Whether in communications, artillery, armour, intelligence, logistics or any other corps, everyone wears the same uniform and remains a combatant in defence of the nation,” he said.
Mutkut explained that the Nigerian Army was structured into various specialised corps to enhance operational effectiveness, but stressed that all personnel remained united by a common mission of protecting Nigeria and its citizens.
Reflecting on the country’s prolonged security challenges, the infantry commander acknowledged that the fight against terrorism had been difficult and costly, but insisted that troops remained determined and committed to restoring peace.
“Nigeria has lived with insecurity for a long time. It has not been easy, but our soldiers remain steadfast and resolute in carrying out their constitutional responsibility.
“The message I have for Nigerians is simple: support your soldiers. Assist them in this fight. We cannot win this battle through military action alone; we need the support, understanding and cooperation of citizens,” he said.
Mutkut expressed concern over what he described as the growing tendency among some Nigerians to criticise soldiers from the comfort of their homes without appreciating the realities and sacrifices associated with military service.
According to him, such actions can have adverse consequences for troop morale and may inadvertently embolden terrorists.
“Many people sit in the comfort of their rooms and criticise soldiers who are risking their lives daily to protect communities and defend the country.
“That is unfair because these troops are making sacrifices that many Nigerians may never fully understand.
“When people constantly attack the military without understanding the realities on the ground, it can send the wrong signal and inadvertently encourage those who seek to destabilise the country,” he said.
The commander urged Nigerians to redirect their anger and condemnation towards terrorists and criminal elements rather than the security forces confronting them.
🚨Ogun State Police Command foiled a kidnapping attempt of a Chinese national for N50m ransom demand; two suspects arrested.
Operatives of the Obalende Division of the Ogun State Police Command have successfully foiled a well-coordinated conspiracy to kidnap a Chinese national and arrested two principal suspects, Chinedu Onwuemena ‘M’, aged 41 years, and Jimoh Ojo ‘M’, aged 37 years, in connection with a planned ₦50,000,000 ransom demand.
The suspects were arrested on June 9, 2026, at about 5:30 p.m., following credible and actionable intelligence received by the Divisional Police Officer indicating an imminent kidnapping plot along the Ijebu-Ode/Odogbolu Expressway corridor.
Acting on the intelligence, the Divisional Police Officer immediately mobilised operatives of the Division, including the Surveillance Team, to the identified axis, where the suspects were promptly intercepted and arrested, thereby thwarting the execution of the planned crime.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspects had jointly conspired to abduct a Chinese national and extort a ransom of ₦50,000,000. Further findings showed that Chinedu Onwuemena, who worked within the company environment as an interpreter and driver, allegedly exploited his position to facilitate the criminal plan.
Investigations further established that the arrested suspects did not act alone but in concert with another accomplice who is currently at large. Efforts are ongoing to track and apprehend the fleeing suspect, while discrete investigations continue to unravel the full extent of the criminal network behind the conspiracy.
The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for comprehensive and discreet investigation.

For the first time in Nigeria’s history under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the country is witnessing a major transition from importing finished solar panels to local solar assembly and manufacturing, marking a significant step towards energy independence, industrial growth, and renewable energy expansion.
WINS:
• About eight solar manufacturing and assembly companies have emerged across the country.
• New solar production hubs are growing around the Lagos-Shagamu axis, with companies like PV Panels, AfriCell, and Tricell commencing operations.
• Made-in-Nigeria solar panels produced in Ketu, Lagos, are already being exported to other African countries.
• Locally manufactured panels now feature scannable barcode technology to improve quality control, traceability, and prevent substandard or recycled products.
• FG launched a major public-private rural electrification initiative backed by a $750 million public fund expected to attract $1.1 billion in private sector investment.
• The programme aims to provide electricity access to 17.5 million Nigerians through the deployment of 1,350 mini-grids nationwide. Over 1,000 mini-grids have already been developed across the country.
• Recent milestones include the commissioning of a 704-kilowatt mini-grid in Olamaboro and the groundbreaking of three interconnected mini-grids expected to generate about 29 megawatts of electricity.
Lol. After Kwankwaso threatened he would withdraw from the ticket, their elders quickly went to placate the “Fulani man” in order not to jeopardise their sectional agenda being pushed through the NDC 🤗
Timely intervention by security troops foiled an attack on students writing WASSCE exams in Iluke Community, Kogi State, saving them from mass abduction.
Three residents died in the attack, while one attacker was neutralized and others escaped with gunshot wounds.
The Kogi State Government commended the troops and assured residents of its commitment to safeguarding lives and property.
