WHAT DID EL-RUFAI DO IN KADUNA AS GOVERNOR?

This is just a teaser and it came from no other person than the "headboy of Mallam's mentees", his Excellency the current Governor of Kaduna State. The one who also said, no body can talk about Mallam @elrufai better than those of them who worked with him.

Note that the 23 local governments referenced in the video includes local government areas in Southern Kaduna.

I'm all about the truth with verified evidence.

IT WAS NO MISTAKE POLITICAL OR OTHERWISE
Indeed Mallam @elrufai was warned, advised, cajoled and pleaded with not to return to Nigeria from Egypt.

He was even offered right of access to third countries but a clear conscience fears no accusation.

A warrior and a man of honor and integrity does not hide around like a cowardly fugitive in a foreign land.

So, just like he did in 2010, he voluntarily returned to the fatherland to squarely face his accusers and so far, the entire world has seen that it is persecution and lawfare being masqueraded as accountability.

Yes! They might think they are winning today and even celebrating, but he who laughs last laughs best.

They plan and God plans. What they fear the most might yet still befall them.

The Arewa Business Support Fund is officially open for applications. Apply now at: https://t.co/aH5L1vx5ep. Retweet aggressively to help others. Under the leadership of my elder brother, Captain Jamil MD Abubakar and alongside like minds like Mohammed Jamal, we created this fund to support MSMEs and entrepreneurs that are based in the Northern region. I believe the fund currently stands at 100 million naira. An independent and non partisan set of judges will pick the successful applicants. I urge entrepreneurs from Kaduna North to key in and follow the process. Thank you.

This is the son of former lawmaker Tijjani OD, a Nigerian politician, taking time on his Instagram page to explain how his family fled Zamfara at night under heavy escort from the Army, Police, and NSCDC after kidnappers reportedly attacked nearby and threatened to return.

They had security.
They had protection.
They had somewhere safe to go.

But what about ordinary families in Zamfara who have no armed escorts, no police backup, and no resources to relocate overnight?

This is the reality many residents face daily, with nowhere to run and no one to protect them when danger strikes.

Happy Birthday to the best Chairman in the history of Kaduna North Local Government since the era of our father Honorable Sani Suleiman. From education, empowerment, health reforms. If you judge Chairman's reforms you should judge yourself. A difficult, strong headed, brilliant, genuine and independent thinker. Our Honorable Muktar Baloni. A son of Mallam, a leader in the opposition despite all the pressure. He is someone that has helped in my life. I will never forget it. Alongside Mallam Hafiz, DCOS Sadiq Yusuf and others, Chairman Baloni was the first among us to win an election. Compassionate, exposed and tolerant. He embodies a new generation of new leaders that do what they feel is right and stick to it. This is a factual statement, there is no me without Muktar Baloni and there is no Muktar Baloni without us. We are proud of what you stood and still stand for, and we are grateful. On behalf of the excellent people of Kaduna North that I proudly represent, partly thanks to him. We celebrate the first elected reformer at our level. May God continue to bless you Aunty Maryam. Our father, God rest his soul will be proud. Best wishes my brother.

Breaking Good News 🔥🔥🔥🔥

OPERATION HADIN KAI RESCUE 360 NGOSHE ABDUCTEES FROM JAS TERROR-GROUP STRONGHOLD IN THE MANDARA MOUNTAINS

In one of the most significant hostage rescue operations conducted in the North East Theatre in recent times, troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), comprising Special Forces and troops of Sector 1, have successfully rescued 360 abductees from a heavily fortified Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS) enclave deep within the Mandara Mountains area of southern Borno State. The operation, which was the culmination of weeks of painstaking intelligence preparation, covert reconnaissance, and operational planning, resulted in the safe recovery of men, women, and children who had been held in captivity under harsh conditions after being abducted from several communities, particularly within the Ngoshe axis. The successful rescue underscores the growing operational reach, intelligence dominance, and tactical superiority of OPHK in denying terrorists freedom of action and protecting vulnerable populations across the theatre.

The operation was initiated following the receipt of credible and corroborated intelligence from multiple sources indicating the precise location of the hostages and the existence of an elaborate insurgent support network sustaining the enclave. OPHK intelligence elements subsequently launched an extensive target development process involving the integration of Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations conducted through unmanned aerial systems and long-range reconnaissance patrols. Through sustained intelligence collection and analysis, commanders developed a comprehensive understanding of the terrain, insurgent disposition, defensive arrangements, movement patterns, and the condition of the abductees. This intelligence-driven approach enabled the force to accurately map the objective area, identify vulnerabilities within the terrorist network, and significantly reduce risks to the hostages during the rescue mission.

A decisive breakthrough was achieved through the successful penetration of the terrorist network by carefully cultivated intelligence assets operating under the supervision of OPHK military intelligence personnel. These assets provided timely and actionable intelligence regarding the exact locations of the abductees, the disposition of insurgent commanders, internal security measures, and planned relocation routes. Simultaneously, carefully coordinated information and psychological operations created uncertainty and mistrust within the insurgent ranks, degrading their cohesion and disrupting command and control arrangements. The resulting intelligence advantage provided OPHK with unprecedented situational awareness and enabled commanders to shape the operational environment well before the commencement of the assault phase.

Acting on confirmed intelligence, OPHK Special Forces and troops of Sector 1 launched a meticulously coordinated multi-axis operation designed to isolate the objective area, dominate key terrain, and prevent insurgent reinforcement or withdrawal. Supported by real-time ISR feeds, assault forces infiltrated the objective area under the cover of darkness while blocking forces established positions along likely escape routes. The operation achieved complete tactical surprise, overwhelming the terrorists before an organised response could be mounted. Faced with the speed, precision, and overwhelming combat power of the advancing troops, several insurgents abandoned their positions and fled into surrounding mountainous terrain, while others surrendered. The hostages were swiftly secured, medically screened, and evacuated from the objective area. Regrettably, two infants succumbed to exhaustion occasioned by the extremely challenging mountainous terrain and the hardships endured during their prolonged captivity

THE SOLDIER'S GENERAL

Major General Abdul Khalifah Ibrahim, OFR

After more than 33 years of distinguished service, Major General Abdul Khalifah Ibrahim has taken his final salute and retired from the Nigerian Army, leaving behind a legacy forged through leadership, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to duty.

Originally from Borno State and raised in Kaduna, Major General Ibrahim's Military journey began as a member of the prestigious 39 Regular Combatant Course, earning his commission in 1992. Throughout his career, he built a reputation as a disciplined Infantry officer, respected commander, and leader who placed professionalism above all else.

Before his retirement, he served as the 33rd Commandant of the Nigerian Defence Academy, one of the most coveted appointments in the Armed Forces. Taking over in April 2025, he brought with him a clear vision centred on four pillars: Training, Marksmanship, Education, and Character. His mission was simple yet profound: produce officers who are not only competent in battle but also exemplary in conduct.

Known affectionately by many as a "soldier's general," he combined firmness with fairness, earning the admiration of both senior officers and cadets. Under his watch, merit, hard work, discipline, and professionalism remained the standard.

Whether in operational assignments, command responsibilities, or military education, Major General Ibrahim consistently demonstrated that true leadership is not about rank alone, but about inspiring others to become better versions of themselves.

In November 2025, he handed over command of the NDA and retired after over three decades of service, closing a remarkable chapter in a career dedicated to Nigeria and the Armed Forces.

Warrior.
Mentor.
Leader.
And A Nation Builder.

For thousands of officers and soldiers who served under him, and countless cadets whose futures he helped shape, Major General Abdul Khalifah Ibrahim's legacy will endure long after.

Thank you for your service, Sir. The Academy, the Army, and the Nation are better because you served. ⚔️🇳🇬
