@sowore @OfficialDSSNG Let’s be realistic. The DSS doesn't need to deny a suspect food to get evidence; they do so professionally. This "chained legs and toilet water" narrative sounds like a poorly written script meant to whip up public anger against security forces. It doesn't add up one bit.

[Abdullahi Gambo @Abdullahigam]

@sowore @DSS @MBuhari No administration will sit by while someone weaponizes social media under the guise of an unconditional #RevolutionNow movement. Public safety requires institutions to act within legal boundaries, which is exactly what the DSS is pursuing through a court process.

[Abdullahi Gambo @Abdullahigam]

@sowore Constantly framing legal proceedings as a personal vendetta by the state is a classic political strategy to whip up public sentiments and avoid answering the actual legal charges. E no dey work again abeg.

[Abdullahi Gambo @Abdullahigam]

@sowore @OfficialDSSNG Insulting heads of security agencies and federal judges doesn't change the facts of a legal charge. My brother, just present your arguments in court with facts, not emotional outbursts online.

[Abdullahi Gambo @Abdullahigam]

@sowore @NUJNIGERIA Congratulations to him. Mind you, it’s not just the NUJ that sees the positive reforms of the new DSS. The Nigerian National Committee of the International Press Institute (IPI) also honored DG Ajayi for his commitment to safeguarding press freedom.

Swift Troops’ Intervention Foils Attack on School, Saves Students in Kogi

By: Zagazola Makama

The timely intervention of security troops has prevented what could have been a major attack on students writing the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in Iluke Community, Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State.

Eyewitnesses who spoke after the incident commended the swift response of the troops, saying their prompt arrival at the scene prevented the attackers from carrying out a mass abduction of students.

The attack occurred when armed men stormed the community and started shooting where students were writing their examinations.

According to eyewitness accounts, the assailants attempted to seize the students and move them into a nearby bush before security personnel responded to distress calls from residents.

“The situation would have been much worse if the soldiers had not arrived when they did. Their intervention saved the students and prevented what could have been a major tragedy,” one resident said.

Another eyewitness described the response of the troops as timely and professional, noting that the security operatives engaged the attackers and forced them to abandon their mission.

The residents said the arrival of the troops compelled the attackers to retreat from the area.

All the students were reportedly safe and unharmed and safely reunited with their families following the operation.

Community members also praised local security volunteers and other security agencies that supported the operation.

The incident, however, left the community in mourning following the death of three residents during the attack.

Security sources said one of the attackers was neutralised during the exchange of fire, while several others escaped with gunshot wounds.

A security operation is ongoing to track down the fleeing suspects and prevent further attacks in the area.

Residents of Iluke Community expressed gratitude to the troops for their courage and sacrifice, describing the intervention as a decisive action that prevented a larger humanitarian crisis.

They urged security agencies to sustain the ongoing operations and strengthen security presence in vulnerable communities across the area.

The Kogi State Government has also commended the troops and other security personnel involved in the operation, assuring residents of its commitment to safeguarding lives and property.

@MobilePunch Freedom of expression is not absolute in Nigeria. Section 45 of the 1999 Constitution clearly states that rights can be restricted for public safety. Calling for a military coup is a treasonable offence. The DSS is right to approach the court to seek redress..#uniteagainstterror

[Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT]

When I placed the Renewed Hope Agenda before Nigerians, I did not speak of housing in vague terms. I gave my word that this administration would work to make decent homes affordable again, and that a hardworking family, after years of paying rent, would finally have a path to a house of its own.

Let me account for that promise plainly, by juxtaposing what we pledged beside what we have actually achieved.

Removing long-standing restrictions on figures like Lanre Arogundade proves this audit is impactful. Hoping to see this thorough cleanup continue across all databases.

RE: ARREST OF PROFESSOR OKEY NDIBE- SETTING THE RECORDS STRAIGHT

The Department of State Services (DSS) hereby clarifies that, it did not arrest or detain Prof Okey Ndibe at Murtala Muhammed International Airport on June 1, 2026 or any other place on that date for that matter.

The current DG of the Service, upon assumption of duty, directed a review of old Watch-List Actions (WLAs), some of which date back to the Military Era. This is to ensure that citizens are not unduly embarrassed due to pre-existing WLAs.

In this regard, all those who had previously been watchlisted while on transit, are routinely interfaced with as a prerequisite for a review and possible downgrade of the Action. This, being a precursor to a final delisting in accordance with international best practices. It is pertinent to state that the foregoing process is aimed at ensuring that before the final delisting, that activities, travel histories as well as current activities of these individuals are not in furtherance of and do not still conform with the reasons for the initial WLA.

Suffice to point out that since the inception of the current Management , many Nigerians, including journalists have benefited from this process. This is despite the fact that the Service conducts this clearance to take care of Watch List requests from other Agencies. A case in point is that of Mr Lanre Arogundade, Executive Director of the International Press Centre, IPC, whose delisting was approved in May 2025, after over a decade on the Watchlist.

In the same vein, Prof Ndibe has been on Watchlist since January 29, 2013. Meanwhile, his case has been reviewed and downgraded. Thus, the interface with him at the airport, was geared towards the final delisting of his details from the Action. As part of the routine interface involved in the process, after barely an hour of his interaction with the Service, he was cleared and escorted. Note that, even on his Facebook post, he referenced the professional, courteous and decorous conduct of Service operatives, who continue to scale their respect for the rule of law and human rights under the new Leadership.

The Service reiterates that this process will continue to ensure that all Nigerians are fairly treated, with due regard to the provisions of the Law.

The DSS therefore urges citizens affected by the Service WLA, who wish, to formally report same to the National Headquarters to facilitate ongoing process. However, regardless of any formal request, the attempt at hygiene regarding the WLA, will be sustained.

@Justice_Crack @OfficialDSSNG This is the side of state security we need to see more often. Professional, thorough, and strictly respectful of human dignity.

@SaharaReporters The earlier you stop all these baseless informations the better. Your attempts to set this country on fire would continue to fail. E be like say you never learn any lesson from SERAP abi?

[Abdullahi Gambo @Abdullahigam]

@saharareporters It's interesting to see everyone rush to judgment before the court has even had its say. Let's not forget that every party, including the officers, has a right to seek justice. #FairPlay

[Abdullahi Gambo @Abdullahigam]

@SaharaReporters It’s wild seeing people like Sowore getting defensive when security officials, esp DSS operatives use their legal rights. Everyone loves due process until the people they dislike actually start using it.

[Abdullahi Gambo @Abdullahigam]

@i 😂 Always stirring the pot and leaving your followers to clean up, huh @sowore? How about sticking around for the aftermath this time? #RunawayLeader

[Abdullahi Gambo @Abdullahigam]

@sowore ...Furthermore, if your actions have always been beyond reproach, the current litigation suggests otherwise.

[Abdullahi Gambo @Abdullahigam]

@sowore There is a concern that your legal situation is being used as a shield to stay away from the front lines of this movement. Expecting others to face risks that you are avoiding yourself raises questions about leadership and intent....

[Abdullahi Gambo @Abdullahigam]

@vdmempire You can’t just post everything online in the name of 'activism.' If those videos exposed military weaknesses or locations, that's a security breach. The DSS is simply performing its duty to plug those leaks.
