The same Tangkhul MLA led a mob which burnt a Assam Rifles TOB and was threatening Indian army when they stopped his illegal timber trucks , during that time he was happy supporting business with same Cadres of NSCN , PLA, KNA(B) and PDF. Communities bleed, leaders, CSO’s posture, and militants profit, that’s the harsh reality of ethnic conflict. #manipur #ManipurViolance

TROOPS OF 12 BRIGADE RESCUE KIDNAPPED VICTIMS, FOIL TERRORIST LOGISTICS MOVEMENT IN KOGI STATE Troops of 12 Brigade Nigerian Army have recorded significant operational successes in Kogi State, rescuing kidnapped victims and foiling a terrorist logistics movement in separate but coordinated operations conducted on 6 May 2026. In a major breakthrough under Operation TIGER PAW II, troops successfully rescued the remaining kidnapped victims from the Daarul-Kitab Islamic Orphanage following sustained search and rescue efforts. Acting on credible intelligence and maintaining persistent operational pressure, troops of the Brigade’s Blocking Force intercepted and recovered the victims within the Agbaja Forest general area in Lokoja Local Government Area. The rescued victims comprised five boys, two girls, and two adult females, believed to be the wives of the proprietor of the orphanage. They were promptly evacuated to the 12 Brigade Medical Centre where they received immediate medical attention and first aid. All victims are reported to be in stable condition. In a related development on the same day, troops acting on credible intelligence on the activities of an arms and ammunition syndicate intercepted and apprehended a suspected terrorist ammunition courier along road Obajana–Lokoja in Lokoja Local Government Area. The suspect, identified as Yahaya Umar, was found in possession of 500 rounds of 7.62mm NATO belted ammunition concealed inside a bag of maize in an attempt to evade detection. Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect is a key logistics courier involved in the movement of arms and ammunition for terrorists across states within the North Central region. Further interrogation indicated that the ammunition was handed over to him at Obajana Forest and was being transported to Dikko Junction in Suleja, Niger State, for delivery to a yet-to-be-identified terrorist. The suspect is currently in custody and undergoing further interrogation to aid ongoing operations aimed at dismantling the criminal network and apprehending other members of the syndicate. These coordinated successes underscore the Nigerian Army’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding lives and property, while sustaining aggressive operations against terrorists and their collaborators. Members of the public are encouraged to continue providing timely and credible information to security agencies to support ongoing efforts.

Security starts in the classroom. Today, I held a high level meeting with the Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, alongside former IGP, Kayode Egbetokun, as we continue advancing plans to expand the Nigeria Police Academy and strengthen police training nationwide. This is in line with the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, to reposition the Nigerian Police through education, building a system that delivers on its core mandate and strengthens national security. We have now concluded plans to commence academic activities at the new southern campus of the Police Academy in Abeokuta, Ogun State, with a clear timeline to admit the first set of students between September and November 2026. Beyond the academy, we are also driving reforms across over 40 police colleges, with a strong focus on upgrading capacity, accelerating accreditation, and transitioning select institutions into specialised, industry relevant training centres. We have set up dedicated committees to fast track resource verification, infrastructure development, and curriculum alignment, ensuring this campus and the broader reforms are delivered with speed, structure, and sustainability. Policing today demands more than theory. It requires technical expertise, adaptability, and continuous skills development, and that is exactly what we are building. This is a one government approach. And we are not just talking about reform, we are delivering it.
