Gathering under the Missing Persons Families Association, they explained that waking up daily without knowing the fate of their loved ones is draining, balanced between the hope of returns and the despair of confirming deaths.

Out of an estimated 500,000 missing people globally, Nigeria accounts for 17,000 cases, with the North-East heavily impacted by insurgency at roughly 14,500 missing individuals—broken down into 9,000 in Borno State, 3,000 in Adamawa, and 2,500 in Yobe. Emeline Montel, the Protection Family Links Team Leader with the Mubi Sub-Delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), echoed these concerns during the commemoration, noting that ICRC assessments show profound emotional, psychosocial, and economic fallout for affected households. Montel reaffirmed that the ICRC remains in contact with these Adamawa families, utilizing a comprehensive strategy focused on tracing, identifying the deceased, and reuniting survivors with their loved ones.
The Ogun State Government has launched an enforcement clampdown against unauthorized commercial motorcycle transport associations, prohibiting them from unlatching or collecting government-related revenues, taxes, and levies.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Authored by Hon. Kayode Akinmade, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, the directive explicitly lists ROMO, AMORAN, and ACCOMORAN as the only three legal, state-recognized motorcycle unions permitted to operate across public roads and motor parks. The government flagged parallel groups—including ANACOWA and AKMODE Transport Limited—as unauthorized entities whose illegal fee collections and operations disrupt public order, bypass state regulatory frameworks, and siphon public funds.
Addressing legal arguments raised by some factions, the administration clarified that a Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) certificate or a March 28, 2023 court judgment by Justice Akinyemi only validates freedom of association; it does not grant commercial operating licenses or authorization to collect state revenues. Security forces, alongside the police, have been instructed to enforce compliance through lawful measures, including arrests, asset seizures, and prosecutions. Members of the public and commercial riders are urged to halt payments to unregistered bodies and cooperate fully with state authorities to restore order to the transportation sector.

Speaking on Sunday during a homily at St. Michael Catholic Cathedral Church in Kontagora, state CAN chairman Most Rev. Dr. Bulus Dauwa Yohanna urged security operatives to step up protection around all houses of worship, particularly during peak Friday and Sunday services. His remarks follow the August 21, 2026, raids where bandits abducted an unconfirmed number of worshippers from mosques across Dekara, Kpenya, Sabon-Gida, and Gidan-Zana within Borgu Local Government Area.
Stressing that rural residents in both Borgu and Agwara LGAs deserve to live free from fear, Bishop Yohanna emphasized that an attack on any religious sanctuary threatens the entire community, regardless of faith. Expressing deep solidarity and grief with the affected Muslim families, the CAN leadership mobilized churches across Niger State to dedicate Sunday services to intense prayers for the captives’ safe release. While acknowledging ongoing efforts by the government and security forces, the cleric underscored that resolving the crisis demands a combination of divine intervention and a robust, permanent security infrastructure.
