UPDATE ON ARMS CACHE DISCOVERED BY SECURITY FORCES IN ENUGU STATE LINKED TO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA/EASTERN SECURITY NETWORK

In continuation of series of intelligence led operations to degrade the combat power of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) /Eastern Security Network (ESN) in the South East region, troops of 82 Division Garrison operating under Sector 1, Operation UDO KA, in close collaboration with operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), Enugu State Command have achieved another significant operational success in the ongoing Operation EASTERN SANITY II. This is in an effort to consolidate the ongoing peace building efforts in the region.

In addition to the successes recorded on 9 June 2026 at Gariki, Enugu South Local Government Area, troops further raided a Safe House located at Agbani, Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State during which troops uncovered a clandestine arms hideout. A thorough exploitation of the apartment led to the recovery of more weapons and ammunition. These include AK- 47 Riffles, AK-47 magazines, 323 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition and 10 x pairs of IPOB uniforms.

All recovered items and arrested suspects have been handed over to the DSS Enugu State Command for further investigation and appropriate legal action.

This Operation reflects Operation UDO KA’s unwavering commitment to sustaining offensive actions against criminal and terrorist networks that could undermine the ongoing peace building process in the region.

Operation UDO KA reaffirms its dedication to protecting citizens
and preserving national sovereignty while the public is strongly encouraged to continue providing timely and credible information to security forces. These will enhance the collective efforts to achieve lasting peace and security in the South East.

Federal Government is not only battling bandits and terrorists at home, they're also rescuing Nigerians from the ugly hands of xenophobic attacks in SA.....

GOD BLESS THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA 🇳🇬

[Babajide Sanwo-Olu @jidesanwoolu]

The true test of sustainable governance is the ability to pass the baton to proven hands, guided by minds that see the future clearly.

Today, I present a ticket that reflects the strength, diversity, and future of our great state.

Dr. Obafemi Hamzat has proven himself to be a dedicated public servant, a dependable partner in governance and a steadfast advocate for progress.

Joining him as his running mate is Princess Damilola Sonayon-James, a respected leader, sustainability professional, and grassroots champion whose commitment to community development and youth empowerment reflects the aspirations of many Lagosians.

Together, they bring the experience, competence, and energy needed to build on our achievements and move Lagos forward.

As we prepare for the forthcoming gubernatorial election, I invite party faithful, stakeholders, and all Lagosians to support this team as we continue our shared mission of building a Greater Lagos.

EFCC Arrests AVSEC Inspector, Two Others for Alleged Cash, Gold Smuggling in Kano

The Kano Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested one Ali Baffa, an Inspector 1 with Aviation Security, AVSEC, and his accomplices, Aushabu Nasidi and Mukhtar Muhammad Dan Zaria at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, for alleged involvement in bulk cash and mineral resources smuggling.

The suspects were intercepted on Friday, June 11, 2026 during a routine surveillance operation by the Land and Property Fraud Section of the Kano Zonal Directorate, following a directive by the Executive Chairman that all Directorates intensify efforts to tackle smuggling of mineral resources and bulk cash at international airports.

Preliminary investigations revealed that Ali Baffa allegedly concealed 22.2 kilograms of unprocessed gold bars estimated at over N4,400,000,000 (Four Billion, Four Hundred Million Naira) in his trousers, with the intent to bypass security checks and hand over the precious minerals to overseas-bound passengers for illegal export out of Nigeria.

Further investigation led to the arrest of Aushabu Nasidi, who allegedly supplied the gold bars to Baffa. Upon arrest, Nasidi was found in possession of various foreign currencies, including: 3,000 Saudi Riyals, 40,000 Turkish Lira, 199.75 Kuwaiti Dinar, 20,700 Philippine Peso, 80 Australian Dollars, 310 Chinese Renminbi, 4,000 Algerian Dinar, 40 Hong Kong Dollars, 26,000 Hungarian Forint, and 1,000 Sudanese Dinar.

The investigation also led to the arrest of one Mukhtar Muhammad Dan Zaria who allegedly gave the gold bars to Nasidi. While being interviewed , DanZaria revealed to the Commission that he had smuggled an estimated 40.2 kilograms of gold from June 1 to June 11, 2026 using the same modus operandi.

All the suspects are currently in EFCC custody. They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.

OPERATION HADIN KAI RECORDS MAJOR SUCCESS AS HIGH-PROFILE ISWAP COMMANDERS SURRENDER UNDER SUSTAINED MILITARY PRESSURE

Operation HADIN KAI has recorded another significant success in the ongoing counter-terrorism campaign following the surrender of two high-profile Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) commanders to troops on 8 June 2026. The surrendered terrorists, identified as Ismail Mohammed and Abu Umar, are currently in military custody and undergoing appropriate profiling and debriefing procedures.

Preliminary assessments indicate that the two individuals occupied strategic positions within the terrorist hierarchy and operated within the Mangari axis of the Lake Chad region. One of the surrendered commanders, Ismail Mohammed was a close associate of senior ISWAP Leader Baa Shuwa and possessed extensive knowledge of the group’s command structure and activities. The second individual, Abu Umar, was widely known within the terrorist network as a skilled explosives specialist with responsibilities linked to the fabrication and maintenance of vehicle borne improvised explosive devices and other combat-support equipment used by the terrorists. Interrogation further revealed that another high profile terrorist, Mohammed Khalifa, a member the ISWAP Shurah Council was neutralised during the joint operations by OPHK.

The surrender of the two commanders represents a major setback to the terrorist organisation, particularly given their experience, influence and technical expertise acquired over several years within the insurgent network. Their decision to flee and surrender further underscores the effectiveness of sustained offensive operations by troops of Operation HADIN KAI, complemented by precision engagements conducted with the support of Allied Partners against terrorist enclaves across the Theatre. The combined pressure from these operations continues to degrade terrorist capabilities, weaken their operational networks, and compel increasing numbers of insurgents to surrender.

This development further demonstrates the growing desperation and declining morale within terrorist ranks as relentless military pressure continues to deny them freedom of action and safe havens. It also reinforces the effectiveness of ongoing efforts aimed at dismantling terrorist leadership structures and disrupting their operational capabilities. Operation HADIN KAI remains committed to maintaining relentless pressure on all terrorist elements. The military will continue to exploit all available opportunities to dismantle terrorist networks and restore lasting stability to affected communities.

Illegal firearms do not circulate in isolation; they are facilitated by criminal networks engaged in their acquisition, movement, and unlawful distribution. Through intelligence-led operations, operatives of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Nigeria Police Force continue to identify, disrupt, and dismantle these networks, preventing illicit weapons from reaching criminal elements and threatening public safety.

'Surrender now or face the full force of the Nigerian state,' Tinubu tells bandits, kidnappers, and sponsors of terror. 

"This window of surrender will not remain open forever," the president added.

Fellow Nigerians

Today, we celebrate democracy and the enduring Nigerian spirit. For 27 unbroken years, since May 29, 1999, Nigerians have chosen their leaders through the ballot, witnessed peaceful transitions of power, and resolved disagreements in courtrooms and legislative chambers—not through violence. We have experienced the longest stretch of civilian rule in our history. Our democracy is not perfect, but it is ours, and we must continue to defend and strengthen it.

[Ayekooto @DeeOneAyekooto]

"Sunday Igboho and Gani Adams, two of you must stop fighting, unite yourselves for the sake of YORUBA. Organise your boys, storm the forests and flush out these disgusting invaders and terrorists from our land. It is embarrassing that idiots and stupid strangers are kidnapping our people on our own land!!! Stand and Support our Father, BOLA AHMED TINUBU......We can't leave this battle to him alone...."

The President has declared: No child belongs in captivity. A specialised rescue team is being deployed, every lawful instrument of the Nigerian state will be used to bring them home and deliver justice.

We have overcome before. We will defeat terrorism, protect our schools and children, and build a peaceful Nigeria.

[Defense News Nigeria @DefenseNigeria]

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have successfully rescued 360 civilians. mostly women and children, who were abducted by terrorists from Ngoshe in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.

The rescue was achieved through a coordinated operation involving Special Forces and troops of the 26 Task Force Brigade. On June 6, Special Forces conducted diversionary operations across multiple fronts in the Mandara Mountains, sowing confusion and disarray within terrorist camps. The maneuver created an opportunity for troops of the 26 Task Force Brigade to advance and safely extract the hostages.

The rescued civilians were among those taken captive during a terrorist raid on Ngoshe community on March 3, 2026.

Setting the Records Straight on Citizen Asar Michael Sesugh's Death

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, considered it imperative to clear the air on some recent incidents at its Makurdi Zonal Directorate, Benue State.

Operatives of the Directorate arrested 26 suspected cyber fraudsters on April 28, 2026. They were profiled and kept in custody for further investigations after obtaining a Remand Order at a Magistrate Court.

Shortly after their arrest, specifically on May 4, 2026, three of the suspects sought permission to use the lavatory at the Directorate's Holding Facility and were permitted. They cashed in on the opportunity, broke the toilet's roof and escaped from detention. Several efforts were made to re- arrest them to no avail.

However, fresh intelligence came on Thursday, May 21, 2026 that one of the escaped suspects, Asar Michael Sesugh, was hiding somewhere in the Kansho axis of Makurdi. Operatives made for the location. Upon sighting the team, Sesugh and his suspected cult members opened fire on them.

Operatives of the Commission returned fire in self-defence. All the suspected cult members, including Sesugh, fled owing to the exchange of fire between them and EFCC's operatives. However, Sesugh was later sighted lying in the pool of his blood by the roadside. He was promptly taken to the Police Cottage Hospital at the Police Headquarters in Makurdi where he was pronounced dead.

The Commission reported the matter at the Benue State Police Headquarters, Makurdi and the Police has begun investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding his death and making efforts to arrest other fleeing members of the suspected cult. Preliminary reports of the findings of the Police have also been released to the public.

The Commission wishes to state clearly that the dead suspect did not die in custody and was not on bail at any time. While the EFCC expresses its condolences to the family of the deceased suspect, it will not condone any further attack of its Operatives or breach of its internal security by suspects. The Commission assures that it will continue to act in the best interests of the nation.
