Strengthening border security in The Gambia
In a coordinated effort, officers from immigration, police, customs, prison authorities and the INTERPOL National Central Bureau were recently deployed to various locations near the capital.
Equipped with mobile devices allowing instant, frontline access to INTERPOL’s databases, officers checked identity documents, fingerprints and vehicles, looking to detect individuals involved in terrorism, drug or human trafficking.
More than 13,000 database queries were conducted during the two week operation, including 748 checks through the Biometric Hub.
74 stolen motor vehicles were identified.
The operation was held under Project Identity, which provides training, capacity building and technical support to Gambian authorities, facilitating wider use of INTERPOL tools to ensure global collaboration.
NIGERIA POLICE FORCE REPATRIATES WANTED WILDLIFE TRAFFICKER TO SHANGHAI, PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
The Nigeria Police Force, through the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB), Abuja, has successfully arrested and repatriated a Chinese fugitive, Cai Jinlian, 42, to the People’s Republic of China to face charges relating to the trafficking of endangered wildlife.
Jinlian is wanted for smuggling approximately 12 tonnes of tree pangolin scales from Nigeria into China in two consignments between November 2018 and April 2019, following investigations by the Anti-Smuggling Sub Bureau of Wenzhou Customs. His two accomplices were convicted and sentenced to over 14 years’ imprisonment by the Wenzhou Intermediate People’s Court of Zhejiang Province in December 2020.
After fleeing China to Egypt on July 12, 2019, a warrant for Jinlian’s arrest was issued on March 24, 2020, followed by the publication of an INTERPOL Red Notice on May 10, 2020. Intelligence later established that he had relocated to Nigeria around 2023, moving between Delta and Plateau States. Acting on credible intelligence, operatives of INTERPOL NCB Abuja arrested him in Abuja on July 18, 2026, and repatriated him to Shanghai on July 29, 2026, under bilateral police cooperation arrangements to face the pending charges.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olutunji Rilwan Disu, psc (+), NPM, commended the professionalism and dedication of the INTERPOL NCB Abuja team in the successful operation, charging the Environmental Crimes and Works of Art Team to intensify intelligence-led efforts against wildlife trafficking and other transnational organized crimes. He reaffirmed the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to strengthening international law enforcement cooperation through INTERPOL and other strategic partnerships to combat transnational crime and protect endangered wildlife.

Paid for @ExploreLegend Internet installation in March 2025 after being assured it would be completed within 3–4 weeks. After months of delays and unanswered complaints, I escalated the matter to the @fccpcnigeria.
To their credit, @fccpcnigeria intervened and Legend Internet eventually laid the fiber cables after one year in May 2026. However, after assuring @fccpcnigeria that the installation would be completed, the case was closed. Since then, @ExploreLegend Internet has failed to finish the work or activate the service despite having held my payment for well over a year.
How can a company collect customers' money, make commitments to a regulator, and still refuse to deliver the service paid for? Consumers deserve better accountability and protection.

For clarity, an invitation by the Police is not a conviction, nor does it imply guilt.
Where allegations are reported, the responsibility of law enforcement is to investigate, obtain statements, review available evidence, and determine the facts in accordance with the law.
Individuals are free to present their own narratives publicly. However, investigations are guided by evidence, due process, and the law, not social media speculation.
Anyone invited by the Police is entitled to their rights under the law, just as investigators are obligated to discharge their lawful duties professionally and impartially.

"My friends, who know how close I am to Baba, have on several occasions advised me to hurry up with anything I want to do with him, warning that Baba may soon depart this world. I would always reply that Baba is not leaving this world anytime soon. Unfortunately, one of those friends who urged me to hurry up with Baba died recently, a young man full of ideas. His death is a clear reminder that death is no respecter of age." — BY ZAYD IBN ISAH

@gafar_raji@royalairmaroc I had a similar terrible experience with @royalairmaroc. They’re known for leaving customers’ luggage behind mine took 3 days to arrive. Even after filing a claim, they don’t respond.
Certainly, the late President Buhari didn’t get enough credit for his decisive role in saving Nigeria from being cheated of billions of dollars in the infamous P&ID case. It started in January 2010, under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, when Nigeria signed a 20-year Gas Supply and Processing Agreement (GSPA) with a British Virgin Islands company, Process & Industrial Developments (P&ID). The deal required P&ID to build and operate a gas processing facility in Calabar, Cross River State, while Nigeria would supply the gas, and in return, we would get the processed gas for power generation.
However, the deal collapsed in 2012, and the project never took off. Amid allegations of fraud and non-performance, P&ID turned around to claim that Nigeria had breached the contract by failing to supply the gas, even though it had not built any plant. So, in 2017, a London arbitration tribunal ruled in favor of P&ID, awarding $6.6 billion in damages, with interest (7% annually), the amount grew to over $11 billion by 2019, roughly one-third of our foreign reserves at the time.
President Buhari vehemently rejected the ruling and stood firm against what was clearly an attempt by P&ID and some bad actors to defraud Nigeria. He ordered a full investigation into how the contract was awarded, which led to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arresting several officials and exposing evidence of bribes, forged documents, and a lack of due process in the deal. PMB directed Nigeria’s legal team to challenge the contract and personally took the matter to the floor of the United Nations General Assembly, alerting the international community to how P&ID, with the help of some corrupt Nigerians, attempted to rob Nigeria of billions.
Under his leadership, the government launched comprehensive legal and criminal investigations, leading to the convictions of P&ID affiliates for fraud, tax evasion and money laundering. Nigeria also sought to overturn the arbitration award in the UK High Court.
In October 2023, Justice Robin Knowles of the London High Court ruled in favor of Nigeria, setting aside the $11 billion award after finding overwhelming evidence of fraud, bribery and perjury by P&ID. The judge described the arbitration as tainted and contrary to public policy.
The court further ordered P&ID to pay Nigeria £43 million in damages and to refund the legal costs. Still, P&ID appealed to the UK Supreme Court, arguing it should be allowed to pay Nigeria in naira instead of pounds.
Yesterday, the UK Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, ruling that P&ID must pay the £43 million in pounds sterling, the same currency Nigeria used to pay its lawyers.
This entire episode stands as a landmark victory for Nigeria and a legacy of Muhammadu Buhari’s resolve, patriotism and leadership in defending Nigeria’s sovereignty from international fraud.
May you continue to rest in peace, Baba. 🤲🏽
