Department of State Services, DSS has arrested five persons, including two Nigeriens, suspected to be arms couriers to gunmen who, on November 21, 2025, attacked St. Mary’s Catholic school in Papiri community of Niger State, abducting nearly 300 students and staff.

The security sources disclosed that, concealed in an unnamed blue car the arrested men were travelling in were 15 AK 103 rifles, 15 magazines and 1,434 rounds of 7.62 mm live ammunition.
Days after the arrests, another member of the arms courier syndicate, identified as Alhaji Adamu also known as Gado Banufe, known to be supplying arms around the Kebbi axis, was arrested in Yauri, Kebbi State.
The security sources disclosed that preliminary investigations established that the five men served as arms couriers to the gunmen who carried out the November 2025 attacks on the Catholic boarding school in Papiri.
Dozens of gunmen on motorcycles had in the wee hours of November 21, 2025, stormed the Catholic primary and secondary boarding school, rounding up students and teachers at gunpoint.

More than a month after the attack, on December 21, 2025, the federal government and Niger state officials confirmed the rescue and safe return of the remaining 130 captives, with government officials confirming that not a single pupil remained in captivity.
Yorubas have gone back to the origin 🧿🔥
In a village near Owo, Ondo State, Fulani kidnappers invaded to abduct residents 😳⚠️
The community's head hunter placed powerful Yoruba jùjú on the land as protection 🪄🕯️🛖
As soon as the attackers stepped onto it, they fell into a deep sleep 😴⛔, allowing locals to apprehend them 🚨🙌
Jùjú is not to be trifled with ⚡🧿🔥
Upon my return to Abuja, I was parked by a soldier on duty who asked where I was heading, and I mentioned FCT. He politely asked if could lift one of his colleagues to Abuja, and I said it was fine.
When I was few meters close to Giri junction, I asked the officer his route, he was heading to Zuba while I was going through Lugbe axis to the town. I told him Zuba isn’t far. Transport is around 2-300 Naira.
I asked if he was going to stop there(Zuba), or he was heading somewhere. He then told me he was going home to see for the first time after 10 months, his newly born twins. No permission was granted over the period. Sadly, he had to make the compulsory trip because his wife had called that one of the babies had died. And she urged him to come see the other twin in case he will die too.
I asked him why he didn’t leave earlier than he left. He replied that he waited with the hope that salaries will be paid, since today is second, but it wasn’t, unfortunately. How then do you intend to make it, I asked him. He showed me all the money he had on him –4,500 which wasn’t even enough to get him to his destination.
I could not help than give him 20k and I took his phone number, giving him my words that I will call to get information about the sick baby.
I want to ask a question, please 🙏🏻
Are these the soldiers we expect to lay down their lives in our protection? You’re owing soldiers, and you want them to be effective while fighting insecurity?
Sadly, this is really laughable.
Allahumma bārik.
