DHQ Confirms Emergence of New Terrorist Group in North-West

The Defence Headquarters has confirmed the rise of a new terrorist group, known as ‘Lukarawas,’ which is worsening security challenges in northwestern Nigeria. This revelation was made by Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, Director of Defence Media Operations, during a press briefing on military activities held in Abuja on Thursday. Maj.-Gen. Buba stated that the group emerged from the Republic of Niger following a coup that disrupted military cooperation between Nigeria and Niger. He explained that the terrorists began to infiltrate northern Sokoto and Kebbi States from the Niger Republic and the Mali region, with their activities increasing after the coup in Niger. Before the coup, joint border operations with Nigerien security forces helped prevent terrorist activities. However, the lack of collaboration post-coup created opportunities for the terrorists to exploit challenging terrains and penetrate remote parts of the northwestern region, spreading their extremist agenda. Maj.-Gen. Buba noted that the group’s presence was initially accepted by local communities, who mistakenly believed the group had good intentions and did not report their movements to security agencies. He assured the public that military forces were maintaining Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations to weaken the terrorist group. He added that the group continues to use vast, under-governed areas as hideouts to avoid detection, harass residents, and evade troops. However, he emphasized that the military is tracking down and neutralizing the threat. READ ALSO: GeneralRector of Catholic Seminary in Edo Kidnapped, Now Freed

EndBadGovernance Protest: Nigerians condemn treason trial of minors, labels Tinubu “brutal dictator

A human rights organization, Amnesty International, has condemned the treason charges against minors protesting hunger under President Tinubu’s administration. According to Amnesty, “The 114 protesters arraigned today at the Federal High Court in Abuja have committed no crimes and do not deserve the horrific treatment they’ve endured since their arrest. Most of the 76 protesters arraigned in the first group are minors, with four collapsing in court, a sign of their deteriorating mental and physical health. Detaining minors in such conditions for demanding good governance highlights the government’s resolve to silence dissent,” Amnesty said in a Friday statement. The detention and trial of these minors protesting against bad governance have been interpreted as further evidence of alleged governmental misuse of power under Tinubu’s leadership.

IPMAN: Dangote Fuel Prices Higher Than Others, We Need to Help Nigerians

The price of fuel from Dangote Refinery was greater than the price of the product from other suppliers as of last week, according to a statement released on Friday by the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, or IPMAN. In addition to saying that members must feel sorry for Nigerians, IPMAN advised them to move where the prices are lower and they can make money. This was said by IPMAN’s National Assistant Secretary Yakubu Suleiman on Friday during an interview with Arise Television’s Morning Show. Suleiman maintained that Dangote should be revealing the amount he plans to sell his commodity, arguing that worldwide pricing sets the price of petroleum products. “International pricing determines prices,” he stated. Dangote should be stating, “This is the price,” on a daily basis. This product will be sold by me. However, unless he (Dangote) engages the stakeholders, he will not be able to accomplish it. Furthermore, you cannot just state, “Okay, we can only purchase from his own depot.” “IPMAN cannot simply decide to tell its members to go to the Dangote Refinery, buy their products, and then load up.” We can’t just do that. The system in question is deregulated.We must source from places where goods are significantly less expensive. After that, we would advise our members to go load the merchandise in any depot where it is less expensive. Let’s imagine that Dangote sells a product for N1000, while other retailers sell it for N900. We cannot simply state for the sake of saying “All right, go ahead and do it.” We are doing business with Dangote. We don’t make money from it. We have to move where the cost is lower and we can make money. That’s it. “We are in a deregulated economy, but Dangote is like trying to monopolize the whole issue,” the IPMAN scribe continued. Alright. Tell us if the entire system is monopolized. However, we think deregulation is now the norm. Dangote is more expensive than other areas, just like it was last week. Because crude has already begun to decline in price, if you can judge that from the global pricing.

Atiku warns the judiciary Not To Put Rivers On Fire.

Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president, has urged the judiciary to refrain from burning Rivers State by issuing contradictory verdicts on the state. Following a ruling on Wednesday by a Federal High Court in Abuja that directed the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stop all payments to the state, the PDP’s presidential candidate in the general elections of 2023 issued the warning. The former vice president voiced concerns that some federal government loyalists were behind the scenes pulling the strings in a statement released late Wednesday by his media adviser, Paul Ibe. Additionally, Atiku questioned why Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, the judge, granted the ruling given that Rivers State had has already contested the Court of Appeal’s decision over the validity of Rivers State’s budget for 2024. The former PDP leader said in a statement headed “Don’t Set Rivers on Fire, @atiku Urges Judiciary”: Because the Rivers State budget was approved by an inchoate assembly, the Court of Appeal ruled last week that it was unlawful. Governor Siminalayi Fubara was directed by the court to submit a new budget proposal. In order for the Supreme Court to consider the case, the Rivers State Government has already submitted a notice of appeal. Nonetheless, a ruling meant to weaken the Supreme Court was obtained by certain members of the Bola Tinubu administration. READ ALSO: Atiku calls for decentralization of electricity and denounces the northern outage Before the verdict was handed out, renowned lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) had warned Justice John Tsoho, the Chief Justice of the Federal High Court, of a potential compromise following the presentation of house gifts to Abuja judges. Unfortunately, Falana’s caution went unheeded. “Since the Tinubu administration came to power, Nigeria has plunged into the realm of the ridiculous. “Courts are increasingly contributing to political crises within governments and even within political parties in an ignoble manner. From the Kano State emirship dispute to the Rivers scandal, where judges are even halting elections, Nigeria is being transported back to the gloomy June 12, 1993, when voting was canceled. Regretfully, Nigeria is devolving into anarchy under the direction of people who say they have battled for its democracy, with contradictory directives from Coordinating jurisdiction courts are dispersed around the country, and judges are being persuaded to serve in the name of empowerment and housing provision. READ ALSO Nigerians are consequently steadily losing faith in an organization that takes pride in being the last resort for the average person. Any location where verdicts may be purchased by the highest bidder will be avoided by foreign investors. Nigeria should avoid becoming like Hobes, where people choose self-help and life is short, cruel, and brutish. Rivers State is responsible for over 25% of Nigeria’s oil reserves. “In a nation where banditry and vandalism have made the economic situation worse, Tinubu should put Nigeria’s interests ahead of his 2027 goals. “We urge Nigeria’s judiciary to reinstate its reputation before it’s too late,” he continued. its reputation before it’s too late,” he continued.

Nigerian priest kidnapping is considered a form of attack on “soft targets” who are Christians.

Cameroon’s Yaoundé Two people have been taken into custody by Nigerian police on suspicion of being involved in the abduction of Father Thomas Oyode, the rector of Immaculate Conception Minor Seminary School in Auchi Diocese, which is situated in Edo State in the nation’s troubled central-southern region. According to Edo State Police Commissioner Umoru Ozigi, who presented the suspects to the media on October 30, the suspects were helping the police find their accomplices. In an area where criminals are a major concern, he urged the populace to provide any information that could result in the arrest of criminals. According to a statement from Father Peter Egielewa, the diocese’s director of communications, Oyode was kidnapped Sunday night at the seminary at approximately 7:00 p.m., during evening prayers and benediction. He claimed that when the kidnappers abducted two seminarians at first, the rector requested them to let the students go and take him instead. Rev. Fr. Thomas Oyode, the institution’s rector, was kidnapped and taken into the forest. Nevertheless, until security measures surrounding the seminary are strengthened, the vice rector and every seminarian have been located, are safe, and have been temporarily moved to a secure location. Egielewa issued a statement saying, “Unfortunately, no communication has been had with the abductors yet.” According to unverified claims, the kidnappers are requesting a ransom of around $122,000. Crux never received a response to his requests for confirmation from the bishop. The new abduction underscores the escalating danger to Nigerian clergy and religious figures, who are typically seen as “soft targets.” As per a report Since 2009, almost 150,000 civilian deaths in Nigeria have been attributed to religious motivations, according to the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law, or “Intersociety.” According to the research, which was released on February 14, since 2009, over 800 Christian communities have been targeted, and about 14 million Christians have been displaced and forced to leave their homes. “The targeting of Catholic clergy and Christians is part of a larger plan to Islamize the country,” Emeka Umeagbalassi, the Director of Intersociety, told Crux. He called the federal government “a wing of Fulani killers,” a reference to a predominantly Muslim ethnic group that is widely distributed throughout West Africa, including Nigeria, and accused it of discriminating against Christians. There are numerous butcher shops, disappearances and kidnappings occurring around the nation, and the security services are involved in these crimes,” Emeka stated. Abuja Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama claimed that the ongoing murders and abductions of Christians “have put the security agencies to shame.” Increased insecurity is still a problem for our country. Bandits, kidnappers, herders militias, Boko Haram insurgents, and the so-called “unknown gunmen” continue to incite fear in different parts of the country, Kaigama told Crux. He directly attacked the federal government for its inability to safeguard the populace, claiming that it is no longer able to stop violent offenders who terrify people in various sections of the nation at will. HURIWA, the Nigerian Human Rights Writers Association, has called on the federal government to take stronger measures to combat attacks on moderate Muslims, priests, and pastors who are increasingly becoming targets of Fulani herders, terrorists, bandits, and kidnappers. In order to obtain the release of pastoral agents, the Sokoto Diocese paid more than $37,200, according to Mathew Hassan Kukah, the diocese’s vocal bishop, last year. HURIWA said in a report last year that while there are legitimate concerns that these kidnappings amount to intentional persecution of Christianity, these worries seem to be overshadowed by the financial motivation. READ ALSO According to the report, additional criminals have been encouraged to carry out similar crimes since the government has not addressed the problem of priest kidnappings and murders. According to Christian Solidarity International’s Franklyne Ogbunwezeh, a senior researcher for Sub-Saharan Africa, criminal gangs may be motivated by financial gain to Jihadist forces who abduct clergy have a distinct goal: to drive Christians out of their communities, especially in Nigeria’s Middle Belt, in order to establish an Islamic caliphate. “Christian leaders who are well-known in their communities are abducted and killed by them, sometimes even after ransom has been paid. The purpose of this is to distance the community from its core, which will facilitate the destruction of such Christian communities,” he stated. YOU MAY ALSO LIKE THIS We Love To Have You Back.
