The inaugural meeting of the Divisional Community Policing Committee (DCPC) in Naka, Gwer West, Benue State.
The program was organized by @ElixirTF@Spaces4Change@OpenSociety on the 27th Feb. 2026.
Much appreciation to all stakeholders who honoured the invite to touch lives.
Why would Tinubu’s regime announce — in 2024, with names and dates and a senior general at the microphone — that they had killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, when the man was still alive?
Two reasons. Both ugly.
One. A free win. The regime needed to look like it was winning the war. So it invented a victory. The same year they declared Boko Haram “technically defeated.” The same year the killings kept coming. Paper victories, real funerals.
Two. A gift to a partner in crime. For a terrorist, a faked death is the ultimate cover. Officially dead means he is off every sanctions list, every INTERPOL notice, every targeting database, every flagged bank account. He can move money. He can travel. He can recruit. He can hide in plain sight. The Nigerian government just handed him the most valuable currency a state can hand a jihadi.
A win for the regime. A gift for the killer. Both at the same time.
You want to know what high-level complicity with terrorists actually looks like? It looks like this.
Then Friday came. Trump killed the man Nigeria said it had already killed. And the regime panicked, scrambled, and blurted out the “two terrorists shared a name” defense — already debunked and being mocked around the world as the desperate maneuver of a tyrant whose mask is crumbling fast.
Looking forward to seeing what is left when the dust settles.

The @OfficialDSSNG has proven over time to be tools in the hands of the elites rather than focusing on ending the unprecedented insecurity challenges ravaging the country. I will not be intimidated, I remain resolute in standing in solidarity with all oppressed Nigerians. ✊
Altercation between two men and Nigerian police officers at a checkpoint in Edo State, as the men alleged that the officers requested the personal effect of the laptop they were carrying.
On May 4, 2024, the Nigerian military officially announced they had killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, the head of Is-Al Furqan Province (ISGS and ISWAP), along with eight other commanders. The names were published. The Nigerian Army stood behind every word.
Yesterday — May 15, 2026 — President Trump and President Tinubu jointly announced that U.S. and Nigerian forces had killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki in a “meticulously planned” operation. Same name. Same man. Two years later.
How do you kill a dead man?
You don’t. Either the 2024 announcement was a lie, or the 2026 announcement is. Or both are spin. Take your pick.
Now look at who was in Washington last week. Nuhu “Bugsy” Ribadu, Tinubu’s National Security Adviser, met with Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio, Defense Secretary Hegseth, and the Under Secretary for Political Affairs. Three days of meetings. Nine days later, Tinubu and Trump are taking a joint victory lap over a corpse Ribadu’s own government already buried in 2024.
This is the same Ribadu who signed the contract bringing DCI Group on board with a $9M lobbying agreement to launder Nigeria’s image in Washington. The same DCI Group that has spent that money attacking the credibility of survivors who lost their families to the very killers Ribadu’s office calls “our brothers.”
And this is the same regime where Massad Boulos — President Trump’s Senior Advisor for Africa — is personally profiting from multi-billion-dollar no-bid contracts — a total of 74% of Nigeria’s federal budget last year! — issued by Tinubu to his longtime crony and client. Trump’s top man on Nigeria is on the take from the Nigerian president he is supposed to be holding accountable.
Eleven years of this. 185,000 dead. 19,000 churches destroyed. 10 to 12 million displaced. Mourners shot at burials. Berom defenders sentenced to hang. Christian survivors arrested while killers walk. The Sultan calling jihadis hellbound from a podium while he has not named one of them in twenty years.
And the Washington playbook is to celebrate the kill of a man who was already officially dead.
We need answers.
Which announcement was a lie?
Something is rotten in Nigeria. And the stink is drifting through Washington.

This is the picture of the police criminal gang leader who intercepted me at Ajao junction on Wednesday morning being 22nd of April, 2026 while going to work at exactly 05:55am. I saw a colleague by name Comrade chinedu . As i cleared to pick him up, they double crossed me with korope bus without reg number. They forced my colleague out of my vehicle and forcefully collected my key from me and pushed me to the back seat and three of them jumped inside my vehicle all dressed in police uniform, well armed and one on mask. They drove off and turned under NAHCO bridge and headed towards Mile 2. On getting to Cele express, they cleared before the bridge and forced me to transfer the sum of 200k into a named first Bank acct and this transfer was made at gunpoint at exactly 6 29am.Immediately they confirmed the alert, they all jumped down from my vehicle and fled into their korope and zoomed off towards Mile 2. Attached below is the receipt of transaction and the picture of their leader. I reported the incident at the police station, showing them the picture of the gang's team lead but the Nigerian police force has not been forthcoming in their investigation.

#impunity is the exemption from punishment, consequences, or accountability for wrongdoing. When someone acts with #impunity, they face no legal, social, or disciplinary repercussions for their actions, regardless of how harmful, illegal, or unethical those actions may be.
In Enugu State, everyone is afraid of being arrested.
The blind student that exposed UNN hotel was evicted from hostel and detained.
Afia TV Jojrnalist that went to cover stinking hostels in UNN was arrested and detained.
Joy Ezugwu that showed how bad Uwani General Hospital is was suspended from school and arrested by the police.
One Chukwujinkem Ugwuanyi that spoke against Nwoke AirPod and his political gymnastics was arrested and sent to prison for months.
There’re many more cases of abuses by the government and people in power. In all of this, Governor is silent, both Commissioners of Health and Education are silent, because they’re all involved.
Nigeria: Authorities Must Investigate Brutal Killing of Five by Armed Political Thugs in Kano
Amnesty International strongly condemns the brutal killing of five people by armed political mobs in Kano on Tuesday 5 May 2026. This is the bloodiest surge of political thuggery in recent years. The Nigerian authorities must investigate the incident to ensure that suspected perpetrators and the politicians sponsoring them are brought to justice.
A viral video obtained by Amnesty International shows the armed political thugs moving in a mob, chasing fleeing individuals who were subsequently and violently killed on the streets. In other videos, victims were shown in the pool of their own blood turning helplessly to their last breath. The armed thugs were wearing the ruling party’s t-shirt and chanting songs of death and destruction. Amnesty International has received reports yesterday of supporters of some politicians violently targeting political opponents, real or perceived.
Amnesty International is investigating names of some prominent Kano politicians and government officials alleged to be sole sponsors of the violent political thugs.
This incident reflects a dangerous escalation of deadly cycle of political violence consistently happening across Kano in recent months. The armed thugs reported to be working for some prominent politicians of the ruling party are increasingly posing a threat to the right to life, behaving as if they have carte blanche to kill and destroy.
The Nigerian authorities, politicians and political parties must respect the rule of law and ensure that lives and property are not put at risk and are protected before, during, and after political events. People’s right to freedom of association and movement must be upheld and protected. This trend of violence that is becoming rampant in Kano is undermining free participation of people in political affairs.
Increasing political violence by armed thugs working for some politicians in Kano is creating a toxic climate of fear and infringes on the rights of people to freely participate in politics and political activities.
