I commend all our patriotic front-line soldiers in the fight against terrorism in all forms.
You stand as a shield between innocent citizens and those who seek to destroy the peace, safety, and dignity of our communities.
In the forests, on the roads, at forward operating bases, in the air, creeks, and across difficult terrains, you carry the burden of national protection so that millions of Nigerians can sleep, work, worship, farm, trade, and raise their children in hope.
This fight has not been easy. It has come with pain, pressure, and sacrifice. But your courage has remained firm. Your service is acknowledged. Your sacrifice is honoured. Your country does not take you for granted.
To every officer and soldier of our Armed Forces, to the Police, DSS, Civil Defence, intelligence services, local security formations, and all who work day and night to keep Nigeria safe, I say thank you.
I also acknowledge the families behind the uniform. Many of you have endured long absences, anxious nights, and the emotional cost of duty. Nigeria remembers that sacrifice, too.
We honour those who have paid the supreme price in defence of our country. Their names may not always trend, but their courage lives on in rescued communities, protected families, and the survival of the nation they served.
The fight against terror is not only a military operation. It is a national duty. Citizens must support our security forces by providing timely, useful information. When you see something, say something. When you know something, report it.
Nigeria will not surrender to fear. We will not allow terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, or violent extremists to define who we are as a people. Their violence is not our identity. Their hatred does not represent Nigerians of any faith, creed, or community.
To our troops and all front-line patriots, thank you for your courage. Thank you for your vigilance. Thank you for your service.
May the Almighty protect you as you protect our country.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces
Federal Republic of Nigeria

Troops of Operation WHIRL STROKE have recorded a series of significant positive operational outcomes across Benue and Taraba States from 24 - 31 May 2026. Troops neutralized four criminals, rescued two kidnapped victims, recovered one AK-47 rifle/ammunitions and dismantled a notorious illicit drug network.
On 24 May 2026, following reports of armed herder attack along Gbajimba–Agasha road in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State, troops deployed to the scene and found two injured locals. The victims were evacuated to the Primary Health Center in Gbajimba for treatment, while a manhunt for the assailants is ongoing.
In Taraba State, on the same day, troops responded to an armed robbery alert along Road Rafin Kada–Donga and came in contact with the robbers. Troops engaged the criminals and neutralized two armed robbers and recovered one AK 47 rifle with 3 magazines, ammunition, and cash sum of N39,950.
In a further show of resilience, on May 25, troops responded to a kidnap report along Road Antegh–Zongo in Makurdi LGA, Benue State. Troops intercepted the abductors who abandoned two victims and fled. One suspect was arrested, while the rescued victims were reunited with their families.
In a separate effort to rid the OPWS Joint Operations Area of criminality that have sustained violent crimes, troops conducted an intelligence based operations against a notorious illicit drug syndicate. Troops searched a recovered vehicle in Makurdi on 23 May 2026 and recovered 641 pieces of illicit drugs as well as ₦781,000 in cash.

Informants to criminals were also warned to desist from the inglorious trade so as to avert unpleasant consequences.

Very Good Take
Adeboye to Tinubu: When giving orders to service chiefs to eliminate terrorists, order them to eliminate their sponsors no matter how influential they may be
@DejiAdesogan Pls, let the @PoliceNG stop parading these beasts alive, they should display their lifeless bodies to us, we would appreciate it that way.
Kill them all as you apprehend them.
The menace is out of control now
There are over 200 Okadas in several clusters on Castle Rock Road. The number keeps growing as if someone comes to drop them in batches of 40 weekly. Bikes are banned but the state can't enforce basic rules.
Nobody knows where these guys are from? How do over 200 unknown guys with bikes suddenly appear in a community? Who procured the bikes for them? A bike now costs over N1million. What is the source of funding for the bikes?
The police at the Maroko division are only concerned about stopping people driving flashy cars. The state is on autopilot.
@Alexcassy@fimiletoks@dayoisrael While this is also good, but they ain't active party members and they may not believe in the party.
Let the Youth Leader build a party structure of active students across the Universities in Nigeria
Thank you for this, but what I am proposing is having, coordinating and overseeing an active APC campus chapter for undergraduates, where they can build and align with the philosophy of the party. We have many ex-students union leaders that can drive this for you in the party
For your attention South West Govs
Take Action Now !!!

"The government is already playing a role in support by removing all the bottlenecks, giving necessary incentives for FDI into the country, this year alone I can beat my chest that Nigeria is attracting close to $20billion FDI and it's because we unwind the bottlenecks by being efficient, transparent and open"
- President Tinubu at the joint panel briefing of African Leaders at Kigali
I received a LinkedIn connection request from Prof. Folasade Ogunsola @UnilagVC in March. I accepted and we connected. She then sent me her WhatsApp number for ease of communication and we have been chatting and exchanging pleasantries since then.
Two days ago, the number started to send me what were clearly 419 fraud messages. I have reached out to her on LinkedIn and by text message to ask if her WhatsApp has been hacked but there has been no response. It just struck me that the person with the WhatsApp number may have created the LinkedIn profile for fraud purposes.
Anyone who knows Prof Ogunsola should please alert her to this. I am reluctant to share the WhatsApp number here in case it is her real number and it’s just her WhatsApp that has been hacked. Thank you.
President Tinubu Approves New Police Academy Campus in Ogun State, Releases N15 Billion Take-Off Grant
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the establishment of a new campus of the Nigeria Police Academy in Erinja, Yewa South Local Government Area of Ogun State.
In a statement issued on Monday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, the President also approved a special take-off grant of N15 billion for the new campus.
The approval is in line with the provisions of the Nigeria Police Academy (Establishment) Act, 2021, which allows for the expansion of the main academy in Wudil, Kano State, into multiple campuses across the country.
The N15 billion intervention fund will be drawn from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TetFund) 2026 allocation. It is earmarked for the development of priority infrastructure, academic facilities, student accommodation, and core training assets.
The siting of the new campus in Erinja followed the recommendation of a high-level consultative meeting that included the Minister of Police Affairs, the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, officials of the Federal Ministry of Education, the Inspector-General of Police, and the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC).
The meeting took into account student intake capacity, available funding, academic quality assurance, and the growing manpower needs of the Nigerian Police Force, which is currently intensifying recruitment.
