DSS SEEKS TOUGHER TERROR SENTENCES, EMPLOYS 27 ORPHANS
The Department of State Services says it is intensifying its fight against terrorism on two fronts; moving to secure tougher sentences for convicted terror suspects while offering 27 qualified orphans a new lease of life through employment in the Service.
In a statement, The DSS says it will appeal the prison terms handed to three terrorism convicts, arguing that the sentences do not reflect the gravity of their crimes. The suspects, arrested with weapons and ammunition allegedly destined for bandit and terrorist networks, were sentenced to between 10 and 32 years in prison. The Service insists stiffer punishments are necessary to strengthen deterrence against terrorism and the illegal arms trade.
In another development, orphanages and child welfare organisations have commended the Director-General of the DSS, Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, for recruiting 27 qualified orphans from across the country. They described the initiative as a transformative intervention that restores hope, promotes dignity, and creates opportunities for vulnerable youths to build meaningful careers, while calling on other institutions to emulate the gesture.
The enemies within our security architecture
Above 👇👇is L/Cpl Jibrin, an instructor with his Army Battalion in Geidam, who disappeared for about 2 days. He was very popular with his colleagues and well liked by his colleagues because of his known competence.
He was however sighted among the Boko Haram Terrorists, that attacked Geidam last Sunday. The Battalion CO tracked his phone and he was pinpointed at a point in Gashua, hundreds of kilometers from his supposed duty post.
The Army authorities in Gashua was intimated and the soldiers spread their dragnets. Yesterday, Tuesday morning, L/Cpl Jibrin boarded a bus to Gombe and disguised himself but was identified and nabbed at the checkpoint in Gashua.
He was handcuffed and on interrogation revealed so many things. On transit to Geidam, Jibrin deployed his skills as a weapon instructor, snatched a gun from one of his escorts, over powered the other and blew himself up. His revelations however led to the arrest of some of his terror-brethren, while many are believed to be among the troops in both Gombe and Geidam Battalions.
Real problems already reside with and among our defenders and our military faces a lot of internal threats. This was the end of a brilliant soldier who was an asset to the Army until he got switched. He was even in the Intelligence Corps of the NA before becoming a weapons instructor. L/Cpl Jibrin was a Babur from Biu .
👏May God continue to protect our troops.
@ZagazOlaMakama … and they will be taken them to court after been arrested?
Any form of kidnappers/bandits arrested or contacted should be deleted immediately!
Why wasting time on them?
Emefiele: Supreme Court Affirms Final Forfeiture of Properties, $2 Million, Share Certificates to Government
The Supreme Court on Friday, July 17, 2026 affirmed the final forfeiture of seven landed properties, the sum of $2,045,000 (Two Million, Forty-Five Thousand United States Dollars) and share certificates linked to a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
In a unanimous judgment delivered by a five-member panel of the apex court led by Justice Ibrahim Mohammed Saulawa, the court set aside the judgment of the Court of Appeal and affirmed the decision of the Federal High Court, Lagos, which had ordered the final forfeiture of the assets on the grounds that they were reasonably suspected to have been acquired with proceeds of unlawful activities.
Following the final forfeiture order made by the Federal High Court, Emefiele challenged the decision before the Court of Appeal, which reversed the judgment of the trial court.
Dissatisfied with the appellate court's decision, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, approached the Supreme Court, which has now restored and affirmed the judgment of the Federal High Court.
The forfeited properties are:
A fully detached duplex of identical structures situated at No. 17B Hakeem Odumosu Street, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos;
An undeveloped parcel of land measuring 1,919.592 square metres, covered by Survey Plan No. DS/LS/340, situated at Oyinkan Abayomi Drive (formerly Queens Drive), Ikoyi, Lagos;
A bungalow situated at No. 65A Oyinkan Abayomi Drive (formerly Queens Drive), Ikoyi, Lagos;
A four-bedroom duplex situated at 12A Probyn Road, Ikoyi, Lagos;
An industrial complex under construction on 22 plots of land in Agbor, Delta State;
Eight units of undetached apartments on a plot measuring 2,457.60 square metres, situated at No. 8A Adekunle Lawal Road, Ikoyi, Lagos;
A full duplex together with all its appurtenances on a plot measuring 2,217.87 square metres, situated at 2A Bank Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.
The apex court also ordered the forfeiture of $2,045,000 (Two Million, Forty-Five Thousand United States Dollars) and share certificates of Queensdorf Global Fund Limited to the Federal Government.
The final forfeiture order was originally granted on November 1, 2024, by Justice D.I. Dipeolu of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos in Suit No. FHC/L/MISC/500/24, following an application filed by the EFCC through its counsel, Director, Public Prosecution, Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN, pursuant to Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006, and Section 44(2)(b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).
The application, brought as an action in rem, sought the final forfeiture of properties reasonably suspected to have been acquired with proceeds of unlawful activities. The application for the forfeiture was supported by an affidavit deposed to by David Jayeoba, an investigating officer with the EFCC, who averred that investigations revealed that the assets were reasonably suspected to have been acquired with proceeds of unlawful activities.
In its originating motion, the Commission urged the court to grant the final forfeiture under the provisions of Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006, contending that the assets were liable to forfeiture because they were reasonably suspected to have been acquired through unlawful means.
With the Supreme Court's unanimous decision affirming the judgment of the Federal High Court, the final forfeiture of the seven landed properties, the $2.045 million and the share certificates to the Federal Government of Nigeria has now been conclusively upheld.
Finally, one of the suspected fraudsters who attempted to scam ₦200,000 yesterday has been arrested after the group allegedly defrauded POS operators of more than ₦2 million. May Almighty God continue to expose them and bring them to justice.
Nigerian 🇳🇬 soldiers got stuck in the mud, but patriotic citizens quickly came out in large numbers to assist our gallant troops.
The Nigerian military continues to move tirelessly across the country to ensure the safety and security of all citizens.
God bless them all 🙏

Aisha Achimugu: Court Grants Final Forfeiture of N4.6b Jewelries, N4.3b Exotic Cars, $50, 000 , N30, 000,000 to Government
A Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court sitting in Apo, Abuja, has granted a final forfeiture order of properties linked to a business woman, Ms Aisha Achimugu to the federal government.
The properties include jewelries worth N4,645,170, 294.9 billion (Fourt Billion, Six Hundred and Forty-Five Million, One Hundred and Seventy Thousand, Two Hundred and Ninety-Four Naira, Nine Kobo) eleven exotic cars worth N4.293,000, 000 (Four Billion, Two Hundred and Ninety-Three Million Naira), $50, 000( Fifty Thousand United States Dollars) and N30, 000,000 (Thirty Million Naira) cash.
Justice Jude Onwugbuzie granted the order on Thursday, July 16 2026 in a judgment on the application for final forfeiture of the properties by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The assets were found by the EFCC as proceeds of unlawful activities. Investigations by the Commission followed its receipt of financial intelligence showing huge inflows and outflows from over 136 ( One hundred and Thirty six) bank accounts linked to Aisha Achimogu which ran into billions of naira and millions of dollars. The investigation carried out showed that the huge funds that passed through the companies operated by her were not disclosed as revenue of the companies in their financial statements filed at the Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS).
In the course of investigation, the Commission executed searches at the residence of Achimugu where the assets forfeited were recovered. While being interrogated, she was given Assets Declaration Form which she filled but did not disclose the recovered assets as her properties. The finding by the EFCC showed that the huge funds received into accounts linked to her were not from her legitimate business activities and that the recovered assets were not from lawful sources
Following the outcome of the investigation, the EFCC through its legal team, led by Ekele Iheanacho SAN, filed an application for an interim order forfeiting the properties to the Federal Government of Nigeria in line with Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and other related offences Act.
The matter came up before Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie and on April, 23, 2026, the court granted the application and directed the EFCC to publish the said order in national dailies for any person in possession or interested in the assets to show cause within 14 days why the final forfeiture order should not be granted
EFCC complied with the order of the court and published the order. EFCC further filed a motion for final forfeiture of the properties. Achimugu through her legal team filed affidavits to show cause why the assets should not be forfeited as well as a motion to set aside the interim order. This was further opposed by the EFCC through a counter affidavit. The court took arguments from parties represented by the counsel and adjourned to July 16, 2026 for judgment.
On Thursday, the court delivered judgment and granted a final order forfeiting the assets to the federal government of Nigeria. The court found that Achimugu did not dislodge the evidence led by the EFCC and also failed to discharge the burden of showing that the assets were from lawful origins.

Details, shortly.
One of the rescued Oyo schoolchildren has been diagnosed with a congenital heart defect (a hole in the heart) after routine medical checks at LAUTECH Teaching Hospital.
Doctors say the child’s parents were unaware of the condition.
Meanwhile, 31 of the 39 rescued pupils have been discharged and re-united with their parents, while eight remain under medical observation.
Sometimes, even in the aftermath of tragedy, hidden battles come to light. Wishing every one of these children a complete recovery.
