Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu has honoured Inspector John Jerome Abena, who died during the operation to rescue the abducted Oriire schoolchildren and teachers. He has promised the late officer’s family will not be neglected.
May his Soul Rest in Peace.
Well over N200 billion forfeited by Abubakar Malami, a former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation. By the way, he is one of the fellows that wants to give us a New Nigeria in 2027. SMH 🤦🏾♂️.
Anyone that saw this video of BamBam crying because of the abducted schoolchildren would have thought that she would have been in Oyo immediately the news of their rescue broke.
The actress has not made any post about it.
These guys do not care about the kids, they were after their pockets.
They were cashing out while children were suffering in the forest.
You believed the kidnapping was real enough to tell us not to celebrate Ojude Oba. Real enough to lecture us that Gele isn’t ours. But now the kids are rescued and suddenly it was staged? You are not bitter. You are a mental patient.
Nigerian troops have repelled a late night ISWAP infiltration attempt at Cross Kauwa in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State, inflicting heavy casualties on the terrorists and forcing them to flee.
During the operation, troops recovered a Sony camcorder from a neutralized terrorist cameraman. Preliminary forensic analysis of the footage reportedly reveals the involvement of three foreign terrorist facilitators, including individuals identified as a Palestinian trainer, a Morrocan doctor.
The terrorists were also said to have attempted to loot cholera medical supplies, further supporting intelligence reports of a cholera outbreak within terrorists camps.
The assembly bugle has sounded, boots are hitting the dry mud, and the heavy diesel blocks of our armored personnel carriers are humming with raw power. In the profession of arms, Monday is not a day to slowly ease into a routine it is a critical terrain that must be seized early with speed, absolute clarity, and unyielding presence.
We dictate the operational tempo so the adversary can never find their footing. If you are stepping into your workspace today with a clear mission to build, produce, and elevate this nation, drop a massive 🇳🇬. Let's dominate from the front!
The news of how the notorious Zamfara bandit YELLOW was kpai yesterday gave me joy and my respect for Zamfara People have surged! The way he was kpai by the People’s mob shows that Nigerians everywhere are tired of terrorism and they're absolutely ready to fight the battle themselves!
Zamfara People, Maximum Respect 🙌
A total of 5,300 newly recruited soldiers have commenced an intensive six month foundational military training programme at the Nigerian Army Depot in Osogbo.
The recruits form the 91 Regular Recruit Intake and were selected through a nationwide recruitment exercise. The training will equip them with the fundamental military skills, discipline, and physical conditioning required for service in the Nigerian Army.
The Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral I. Abass, has commended the gallantry, professionalism, and courage displayed by Special Boat Service (SBS) operatives during the successful Oyo rescue mission.
Their bravery and unwavering commitment to protecting lives and safeguarding national security reflect the finest traditions of the @NigerianNavy.
We salute these heroes for their outstanding service to the nation.
OPERATION HADIN KAI TROOPS CRUSH ISWAP INFILTRATION ATTEMPT IN CROSS KAUWA, INFLICT HEAVY LOSSES…Preliminary Forensic Findings Point to Foreign Facilitators Behind Failed Attack
Troops of 19 Brigade, Sector 3, Joint Task Force North East, Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), have decisively foiled an attempted infiltration by ISWAP terrorists into Cross Kauwa, Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State, inflicting heavy casualties on the attackers and forcing them to retreat in disarray. The successful defence of the location further demonstrates the vigilance, combat readiness and operational effectiveness of troops who continue to deny terrorist elements freedom of action across the North East Theatre.
The failed attack occurred at about 2220 hours (10:20 p.m.) on 11 July 2026, when the terrorists attempted to exploit the cover of darkness to breach the troops' location. Alert troops swiftly detected the hostile movement and responded with coordinated and overwhelming firepower, compelling the terrorists to abandon their mission of looting cholera medical supplies and withdraw in confusion after suffering severe losses. The attempted looting further lends credence to recent intelligence reports of a cholera outbreak within terrorist enclaves, as well as reports of the execution of some affected members by the group.
The neutralisation of a terrorist cameraman during the failed assault led to the recovery of a Sony camcorder containing highly sensitive recordings of terrorist activities, including operational footage and propaganda materials. Preliminary forensic analysis of the last available video recorded prior to the attack indicates that the operation was coordinated by four senior ISWAP commanders (Qai'ds), alongside three foreign terrorist facilitators. They include a Palestinian Arab identified as Abu Ishaq, assessed to be ISWAP's overall trainer; a Moroccan Arab identified as Abu Thaiba, a medical doctor serving within the terrorist network; and another Arab operative whose identity is yet to be established. The presence and active involvement of these foreign nationals further reinforces intelligence assessments that ISWAP continues to benefit from external support, specialist expertise and transnational terrorist linkages.
Following the successful engagement, troops immediately dominated the area and conducted exploitation operations to ascertain the full extent of the terrorists' losses. During the operation, troops recovered the Sony camcorder, several rounds of PKT and 7.62 mm Special ammunition, terrorist uniforms and other combat enablers. Initial analysis of post-engagement satellite imagery revealed terrorists evacuating the bodies of some of their neutralised fighters during their withdrawal. This has since been corroborated by credible human intelligence sources, which confirmed that the terrorists suffered heavy casualties, with many others sustaining gunshot wounds during the engagement. Two soldiers sustained gunshot wounds during the firefight and were promptly evacuated by air for advanced medical care. Both personnel remain in stable condition.
The failed infiltration attempt represents yet another significant operational setback for ISWAP and caps a costly weekend for the terrorist group following sustained offensive operations and intensified military pressure across the North East Theatre. The outcome underscores the increasing difficulty the terrorists face in executing coordinated attacks against highly alert and combat-ready troops, while further degrading their combat capability, morale and freedom of action. Operation HADIN KAI remains resolute in sustaining offensive operations, protecting vulnerable communities and dismantling terrorist networks until lasting peace and security are fully restored across the North East.

🇳🇬🪖MORNING, SOLDIER.
Not the loud kind. The honest kind.
You know what it means to wake up tired. To pull on boots that have seen more miles than most roads. To carry a rifle that has become an extension of your arm. That is not a complaint that is a reality. And you are still here.
Today, the enemy will wake up with the same plan they had yesterday: to outlast you. Let them believe it. Right up until the moment you prove them wrong.
You don't fight for medals. You fight because you know what happens if you stop. You fight because the road behind you is full of people who depend on you to keep the road ahead safe.
CHECK YOUR WEAPON. HYDRATE. BREATHE.
Then move.
Using the industry you failed woefully in, would a Basketmouth strengthen an AY the comedian by giving him jokes which are very good to use on his platform thereby giving him an advantage knowing fully well both of them are contesting for the comedian of the year? Ogbeni use this energy to revive your failed career. Leave political talks for intellectuals.
Tomorrow, we shall celebrate Professor Wole Soyinka, Nigeria’s shining superstar, greatest playwright, poet, essayist and the ONLY Nobel Prize Winner from Nigeria ❤️🇳🇬🎉💙.
