This was during his tenure as Governor of Kaduna State when his convoy ran into a siege laid by bandits on Abuja - Kaduna road.

Commuters were stranded and vehicles parked. Fear reigned supreme.

Governor Nasir El-Rufai did not order his convoy to blow the siren and speed pass. No. He stopped his convoy, alighted from his vehicle and alongside his security team went on foot towards the source of the danger, even as the stranded and fear stricken onlookers were shouting at him to ''come back Mallam"! "come back Mallam"! He continued.

This is not an AI generated video neither was the video shot by his media aides or 2k data boys.

This is the same @elrufai who some idiots say is a bandit sponsor.
This is the same El-Rufai who they say paid bandits as Governor and some clowns believe.
This is the same El-Rufai who they killed Southern Kaduna people and persecuted and killed Christians.
This is the same El-Rufai that some losers love to hate.

I have since come to verifiably realise and to conclude that the only people who hate Nasir El-Rufai are ethnic and/or religious bigots, betrayal, bush and urban bandits and their sponsors.

All those suffering from El-Rufai Derangement Syndrome (EDS) should tell us who their own fathers and Governors were/are and what they did and are doing during their own time.

The Nigeria Police Force presents a compelling account of an 18-month intelligence-led investigation by the Force Intelligence Department – Special Tactical Squad, culminating in the arrest of a notorious syndicate linked to kidnapping, armed robbery, and extortion within the Federal Capital Territory.

Through the voices of the victims, and suspects, this documentary provides an inside look at the painstaking efforts that led to the dismantling of a criminal network that terrorised innocent citizens and threatened public safety.

Watch the story behind the operation and the pursuit of justice.

Nigeria Is Facing An Information War In Its Own Language

So this article by @Humangle explores how northern Nigeria has become a major target in a sophisticated information war conducted through Hausa-language media and social platforms. It argues that foreign-aligned influence campaigns especially those connected to Niger’s military junta and Russian-backed networks in the Sahel are exploiting public frustration, insecurity, and distrust in Nigeria’s democratic institutions.

The investigation begins with the experience of Bashir Muhammad, a Nigerian journalist invited to a “pan-African summit” for Hausa-speaking journalists in Niamey, Niger. The event was presented as a media collaboration initiative but allegedly functioned as a political recruitment platform promoting anti-ECOWAS and pro-junta narratives. Organised by Mariam Laouali, also known as Sarkin Abzin, the summit gathered journalists and political figures who criticised Western influence and accused Nigeria of serving foreign interests. Several attendees later realised the event was less about journalism and more about spreading political propaganda.

The article explains that language is central to the campaign’s effectiveness. Niger’s military ruler, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, repeatedly delivered speeches in Hausa to directly influence audiences in northern Nigeria. In these speeches, he accused Nigeria, France, and the United States of supporting terrorism to destabilise Niger and other Sahel states. Though independent evidence for these claims was lacking, the messages resonated because they aligned with existing suspicions and frustrations among some Nigerians. HumAngle’s survey in Kano found that half of respondents believed Tchiani’s allegations, while only a minority rejected them outright.

The report also links the campaign to broader Russian influence operations across the Sahel. Following coups in Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso, Russian-backed networks reportedly expanded online propaganda efforts using TikTok, regional broadcasters, and local influencers. The article notes that organisations connected to Russia’s “Africa Initiative” and successor structures to the Wagner Group have developed media strategies designed to legitimise military regimes and weaken confidence in democratic governments.

Ultimately, the article warns that the conflict is no longer only military or political but informational. Control over language, narrative, and public trust has become a powerful weapon. By targeting Hausa-speaking audiences with emotionally resonant messages, influence networks are shaping perceptions of Nigeria’s government and redefining who citizens see as allies or enemies.

Operation Safe Corridor Is for Coerced Civilians, Not Combatant Terrorists - General CG Musa

International law requires that surrendered enemies be treated humanely. Operation Safe Corridor is an internationally established avenue for receiving terrorists who surrender voluntarily. Our operations in Borno revealed three categories of terrorists: 1) individuals forced into terrorism through duress; 2) people abducted from villages and used as farmers and slaves; and 3) the actual perpetrators - the combatants. Operation Safe Corridor is designed for the first two groups. Combatants are held separately so the Office of the Attorney-General can build cases against them for prosecution and imprisonment.

This Igbo guy and his gang are the "Fulani herdsmen" that have been disturbing Owerri metropolis. Karma caught up with him while his mates ran away with 3Aks and 1 pump they came with for robbery.

Whay happened in FUTO isn't any "Fulani herdmen" anything, it was carried out by members of the IPOB ESN dessedents ably sponsored by NGOZI ORABUEZE and her fellow terrorist leaders.

[Sister__ @ana_herleemerh]

This Igbo Christian terrorist disguising as Fulani is the man behind the kidnapping, and killing being orchestrated in Anambra state.

Reason why their is high increase in terrorism in Nigeria is because many media outlets, Pastors like @ezekieldachomo0 , and commentators on social media attribute every crimes committed within their community by its own members to Fulani herdsmen, using them as scapegoats rather than addressing the actual perpetrators.

OPINION: If Plateau’s Illegal Arms Factories Belonged to Fulani Militias, the World Would Be Burning

By: Zagazola Makama

The discovery of another illegal arms factory in Plateau State should have shaken the conscience of the nation. But it did not. Not because the development was insignificant, but because it did not fit the preferred narrative carefully marketed for years by crisis merchants, foreign lobbyists, and politically interested actors feeding off the Plateau conflict.

Imagine for a moment if troops had uncovered three illegal arms factories operated by Fulani militias in their harmlet in Plateau within three weeks. Imagine if security forces had recovered fabricated AK-47 rifles, welding machines, recoiling springs, ammunition shells and weapon components from settlements associated with Fulani groups. By now, international media would be flooded with headlines screaming “genocide.” Foreign NGOs would issue emergency alerts. U.S. lawmakers would hold hearings. Social media activists would demand sanctions on Nigeria. Naked women and youths would occupy streets in Jos. Protesters would occupy the streets of Abuja, Washington and London. Religious organisations would organise prayer marches and global petitions. Every recovered rifle would become proof of an alleged grand conspiracy to wipe out Christians.

But reality can be inconvenient. Troops of Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) raided illegal arms manufacturing sites in Vom, Jos South LGA, and arrested five suspects linked to Berom militia networks. Recovered from the factories were fabricated AK-47 rifles, weapon skeletons, revolver components, magazines, welding machines and industrial tools used for weapon production. This was not a rumour. This was not social media speculation. These were physical weapons recovered by troops during a live operation.

Yet the silence has been deafening. No outrage from the usual activists. No emergency press conferences. No sermons condemning the proliferation of illegal arms within Plateau communities. No viral hashtags. No candlelight protests. No foreign NGO reports warning about ethnic militias manufacturing weapons. The same voices that quickly amplify every allegation against Fulani groups suddenly developed selective blindness.

This is the uncomfortable truth many do not want discussed openly: Plateau’s crisis is no longer a simplistic black-and-white story of innocent victims versus faceless attackers. Armed militias exist on multiple sides of the conflict. Weapons are being manufactured locally. Revenge attacks are organised. Narratives are weaponised. Communities arm themselves while simultaneously presenting themselves exclusively as helpless victims before the national and international audience.

And that is exactly why the crisis has persisted for decades. The dangerous part is not merely the weapons themselves. The dangerous part is the ecosystem protecting the narrative. An ecosystem where facts are filtered through ethnicity and religion before they are accepted. An ecosystem where the deaths of some victims generate global outrage while the deaths of others barely earn a mention. An ecosystem where propaganda travels faster than truth.

Over the past months, security operations in Plateau have exposed repeated evidence of armed local militias, reprisal cells, illegal weapon possession, and coordinated attacks hidden beneath carefully crafted emotional narratives. Troops have recovered weapons from local youths. Active shooters were seen in viral videos previously circulated as evidence of “attacks.” Security personnel have repeatedly intervened to stop reprisals between communities. Yet these realities rarely make international reports because they complicate the preferred storyline.

NDLEA’s strategic relevance in global counter-narcotics efforts commendable, says Marwa
. Hails Agency’s participation in North European Countries maritime conference

The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), has commended the participation of NDLEA Maritime Intelligence Officers in the just concluded North Sea and Channel Maritime Information Group meeting held in Southampton, as well as the operational exchange in Felixstowe, and Portsmouth, United Kingdom.
Marwa described the invitation extended to Nigeria as the only African country represented at the conference as a significant recognition of NDLEA’s growing operational capacity, professionalism, and strategic relevance in global counter-narcotics efforts. He noted that the participation of the Agency’s officers in both the conference sessions and joint operational exercises with the UK Border Force marks a major milestone in strengthening international collaboration against transnational organized crime.
According to him, the exposure of NDLEA officers to advanced interdiction techniques, intelligence-sharing frameworks, and real-time maritime operations will further enhance the Agency’s ability to disrupt drug trafficking networks along Nigeria’s waterways and maritime corridors.
The NDLEA boss emphasized that such international engagements are critical in building a modern, intelligence-driven enforcement institution capable of responding effectively to evolving drug trafficking trends. He reaffirmed the Agency’s commitment to deepening partnerships with global counterparts in order to safeguard Nigeria and contribute meaningfully to global drug control efforts.
In his response to the report presented by Deputy Commander of Narcotics Aminu Jega who led NDLEA delegation to the conference held in the United Kingdom between 4th and 12th March 2026, Marwa expressed appreciation to the UK authorities, particularly the Home Office International Operations (HOIO) and the Border Force, for the opportunity and cooperation extended to NDLEA officers, adding that the Agency will continue to leverage such platforms to improve operational efficiency and achieve its mandate.
In his presentation, leader of the delegation, DCN Aminu Jega noted that the primary objective of the visit was to strengthen operational cooperation, intelligence sharing, and maritime security collaboration between the NDLEA and relevant United Kingdom maritime and law enforcement authorities.
He said the conference was a gathering where maritime security stakeholders from several European countries and United Kingdom agencies converged to deliberate on maritime intelligence sharing, emerging maritime threats, and collaborative operational strategies.
He stated that the NDLEA team was also given a platform to present operational achievements of the Agency, a presentation, he said, generated significant interest among participants and was followed by constructive discussions and positive commendations from representatives of participating agencies.
