Simultaneously, acting on intelligence, soldiers in Igabi LGA intercepted a 50-year-old female ammunition courier. She was found concealing 300 rounds of live ammunition, which preliminary investigations revealed she had collected in Lafia, Nasarawa State, after travelling from Zamfara State and was transporting to terrorists in the Birnin Gwari area.

In a third operation, also on September 9, troops from Sector 1, in collaboration with local vigilante groups, apprehended a suspected logistics supplier in Birnin Gwari LGA. Four communication devices believed to be used by terrorists were recovered during this arrest.

Lieutenant Colonel Danja emphasized that these coordinated operations demonstrate the military’s unwavering resolve to dismantle terrorist cells, cut off supply lines, and neutralize the threat of armed groups in the region. He also expressed gratitude to the public for their continued support and urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to security agencies.

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) vice-presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has advised former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar to drop his 2027 presidential ambitions, pointing to his health and age.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking in Abuja on Monday during a gathering with members of the Fulani Farmers Association at his home, Kwankwaso—who is running alongside NDC presidential standard-bearer Peter Obi—suggested that Atiku should instead shift his focus toward his traditional duties as the Wazirin Adamawa.

Addressing the delegation in Hausa, Kwankwaso asked them to convey his message directly to Atiku, acknowledging him as an elder statesman.

“Go to the Wazirin of Adamawa’s house and tell him in Fulani that he needs to focus on his traditional title of Wazirin, given his age and health,” he stated.

He also assured that if he and Obi emerge victorious in the 2027 polls, they will ensure Atiku continues to receive proper backing.

“If Allah grants us success, we will take good care of him, especially since you all come from Adamawa. An apology should be offered to him,” Kwankwaso added.

Atiku, a long-standing figure in Nigerian politics, has run for the presidency multiple times, securing major party tickets in 2007, 2019, and 2023. Back in April, the former vice-president—who turns 81 in 2027—announced that the upcoming election cycle would mark his final bid for the presidency.

The late Nollywood actress Tope Osoba was laid to rest on Thursday in Ogun State following a funeral service. Her body was transported from the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital in Sagamu to the Akesan Club in Iperu Remo for family, friends, and colleagues to pay their final respects, before an interment at the Iperu Remo Cemetery amidst mourners dressed mainly in white. Prominent Nollywood figures such as Foluke Daramola, Kunle Afod, Joke Jigan, and Basira Badia were in attendance.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Osoba passed away on August 5, 2026, nearly two years after undergoing surgery for breast cancer in November 2024. Although a candlelight procession and artiste tribute night were held on August 11, and an initial burial date set for August 13, 2026, the family delayed the final rites to finalize arrangements and address outstanding matters.

Her death sparked online speculation connecting her passing to emotional distress instead of cancer, alongside allegations of mistreatment during her illness leveled against her fiancé, Itunu Onadeko, and his relatives. In response, the Celestial Church of Christ—where Onadeko functions as a shepherd—initiated an internal probe into the circumstances of her death. Osoba initially started out as a dancer before entering the acting industry in the early 2000s, gaining recognition for roles in films such as Gucci Girls (2012), Accident (2013), and Ifedolapo (2015).
