According to NIVONEWS, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, made this known at the official flag-off of Phase Seven of the Kainji mass trials of terrorist suspects. Represented by the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation, Mohammed Babadoko Abubakar, Fagbemi commended the synergy between the National Counter Terrorism Centre under the Office of the National Security Adviser (NCTC-ONSA) and other key stakeholders—both local and international.
A statement from NCTC-ONSA emphasized that the trials are part of the government’s broader strategy to combat terrorism and violent extremism, in line with global best practices. The National Coordinator of the Centre, Major General Adamu Garba Laka, further reiterated that the trials symbolize Nigeria’s firm resolve to uphold justice through lawful and transparent processes.
According to NIVONEWS, Nigerian troops have also intensified kinetic operations across the North-East, resulting in the elimination of no fewer than 24 Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters. The military offensives, conducted by Operation Hadin Kai with support from its air component and local vigilantes, were described as part of a coordinated onslaught against insurgents.
In a related development, the Peace Corps of Nigeria has urged the federal government to adopt a more strategic, inclusive, and multi-sectoral approach to tackle insecurity. Ambassador Dickson Akoh, the Corps’ National Commandant, noted during the 27th Founder’s Day event in Abuja that youth unemployment and social exclusion are at the heart of Nigeria’s security woes. He stressed the importance of youth empowerment in sustaining national peace.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) announced that it had successfully carried out precision airstrikes under Operation Fansan Yamma, killing scores of terrorists migrating between Kebbi and Zamfara states. According to NIVONEWS, the air raid targeted a convoy of roughly 150 motorcycles transporting heavily armed fighters, disrupting their movement and neutralizing dozens.
Elsewhere, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, has called for a nationwide ban on open grazing as part of a broader policy shift to combat food insecurity. At a National Summit on Food, Nutrition, and Food Security, he emphasized the need for ranching, modern farming technology, and robust participation from local governments. His remarks were echoed by other security and traditional leaders who advocated grassroots education, cooperative support, and intelligence sharing to protect food production.
These multifaceted efforts, drawn from legal, military, and developmental interventions, underscore the government’s integrated strategy to restore peace, uphold justice, and secure livelihoods across Nigeria.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Osun State, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), has pledged to ensure inclusive governance by integrating non-indigenes and various interest groups if elected in the August 15, 2026 governorship election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
He said his administration would operate a structured system that promotes participation and representation of all segments of society in governance.
The pledge was conveyed by a former lawmaker and ex-Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, after he represented the candidate at an engagement with members of the Arewa community in Ibokun, Obokun Local Government Area.
Oyintiloye said the plan is aimed at strengthening the link between government and grassroots communities, ensuring public policies reflect citizens’ real needs.
He added that all groups would be actively involved in both policy formulation and implementation to drive development in the state.
Oyebamiji also promised continued engagement with farmers, traders, artisans, and non-indigene communities as key stakeholders in governance.
Responding, leaders of the Arewa community commended past inclusion efforts and pledged support for the APC candidate ahead of the election.
Barely a year after its inauguration in Akwa Ibom State, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been plunged into a deep factional crisis.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Multiple factions are now locked in a struggle for control of the party, leaving members uncertain about the legitimate leadership structure.
One faction is led by John Akpanudodehe, a former National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), while another is headed by the embattled state chairman, Dick Duke.
Although the leader of a third faction could not be immediately confirmed, findings indicate that another group also exists within the party.
Sources further suggest that the Akpanudodehe-led faction is seeking to remove the current chairman through a recently held congress that has sparked controversy.
In response, Dick Duke convened a stakeholders’ meeting over the weekend, where he rejected the legitimacy of the said congress.
He said the party had formally written to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to distance itself from the exercise, citing a subsisting court order.
According to him, his tenure as state chairman is still valid until May, and any congress conducted before then would be unlawful.
Duke added that the party would only proceed with proper congresses after the expiration of his tenure and the resolution of legal issues, in line with due process.
