DSS, forest guards intercept large consignment of medical supplies allegedly destined for wounded ISWAP in Borno By: Zagazola Makama The Department of State Services (DSS) in Borno State, in collaboration with forest guards, has intercepted a large consignment of medical supplies allegedly intended for fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), following recent intelligence-led counter-terrorism operations in the North-East. Security sources said the interception was made on Friday in Kaga Local Government Area during a coordinated operation along a suspected supply route used by insurgent logistics networks operating within and around forested areas in the state. According to the sources, the seized items include substantial quantities of pain relief medications, anti-malaria injections, antibiotics, and other pharmaceutical products, alongside basic consumables believed to be part of battlefield resupply materials. The sources further indicated that the consignment was linked to suspected attempts to replenish ISWAP fighters who reportedly suffered heavy casualties and disruptions in recent intelligence-led operations involving US-AFRICOM and Nigerian security forces. Although officials did not provide operational details, they described the interception as part of intensified efforts to dismantle insurgent logistics chains, particularly those enabling the movement of medical and material support to remote enclaves. It was gathered that preliminary investigations suggest the supplies were being moved discreetly in small batches to avoid detection by security patrols operating along forest corridors. The intercepted materials have since been taken into custody for forensic examination, while security agencies have lau

EXCLUSIVE: How Army troops of OPHK arrest two suicide bombers in connection to Maiduguri Mosque attack By: Zagazola Makama Troops of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) have recorded a major operational success in Borno and Yobe states with the arrest of two suspected suicide bombers and the disruption of critical logistics networks sustaining Boko Haram terror activities. One of the suspects was apprehended in Banki town during joint operations and intelligence-led patrols by troops deployed under the Joint Task Force North East (JTF NE), while the second was earlier arrested in Damaturu, Yobe State, in connection with the Dec. 24 suicide bomb attack at the Gamboru Market Mosque. Zagazola report that the attack was part of the coordinated plans by Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS), Ansaru and Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) elements to execute suicide bombings and improvised explosive device (IED) attacks across parts of the North-East zone. It was gathered that a Boko Haram team led by a notorious IED expert, Munzir Abu Ziyadah, allegedly prepared up to 10 person-borne improvised explosive device (PBIED) attacks from the Ali Ngulde camp axis. The terrorists reportedly moved through the Ngoshe Mountains towards Gazuwa and Ngom, infiltrating several communities in Borno State ahead of planned attacks. One of the terrorists successfully detonated his explosive at Gamboru Market Mosque on Dec. 24, killing five worshippers and injuring 32 others. Shortly after the Maiduguri bomb blast, the Theatre Commander Joint Task Force, North East Operation HADIN KAI, Maj Gen Abdulsalam Abubakar, directed a shift from routine presence to hunter-killer and pre-emptive interdiction operations across the theater. The Theatre Commander ordered an immediate reconfiguration of forces, with emphasis on intelligence-led operations, layered security around places of worship and markets, and tighter control of movement corridors within Maiduguri and adjoining frontline communities. Zagazola reliably informed that at about 5:40 p.m. on Dec. 29, troops deployed at the Banki Central Mosque intercepted a suspected suicide bomber in possession of primed improvised explosive device (IED) materials. The sources said that further investigation revealed additional incriminating IED materials in the suspect’s possession, while he was currently undergoing detailed interrogation. Meanwhile, investigations into the Dec. 24 suicide bombing at the Gamboru Market Mosque in Maiduguri have also recorded fresh breakthroughs with the arrest and repatriation of another suspected suicide bomber in Yobe state. Zagazola learnt that the suspect, identified as Ibrahim, was arrested in Damaturu by hunters’ group working in collaboration with Operation Hadin Kai and was brought back to Maiduguri on Dec. 29 for further interrogation. The source said Ibrahim was taken to the Izala Mosque in the Tashan Joni area of Maiduguri, where he identified a spot he claimed to have dropped a bag containing an IED after he could not get close enough to detonate it. “However, the bag was not found at the indicated location,” the source said. Further interrogation reportedly led the suspect to confess that he planted another bomb in a bag at the entrance of the Gamboru Market Mosque on Dec. 24, while his accomplice, identified as Adamu, now deceased, entered the mosque wearing a suicide vest which was detonated inside the mosque. The suspect also disclosed that six suicide bombers were deployed to Maiduguri ahead of the attack under the coordination of a terror kingpin. He reportedly named three of the bombers Salisu, Yusuf and Adamu as residents of Maiduguri, while the remaining three another Adamu, Yusuf and Abdullahi, allegedly came from Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

VERY SHOCKING The killers of the late District Head of Kwallak in Plateau State turned out to be local Christian youths, not the Fulanis as earlier suspected. After being arrested, they were set on fire by an angry mob in Plateau State. Read full details here 👇🏾 Plateau Mob Kills Own Youths Over Murder of Traditional Ruler in Plateau By: Zagazola Makama Three plateau state’s indigenes suspected to be involved in the killing of a traditional ruler in Langtang North Local Government Area of Plateau State were on Friday set ablaze by an angry mob. The victims were alleged to have participated in the killing of the traditional ruler of Kwallak community, Mr Ponzhi Kwallak, who was attacked and murdered at his residence on Thursday night. Sources in the community said that the assailants stormed the monarch’s home, shot him, and made away with his motorcycle and mobile phone. The incident, which initially sparked tension and speculation within the community, was reportedly first attributed to external attackers (fulani bandits). However, subsequent developments indicated that the suspects were allegedly from within the community. Security sources said the suspects were apprehended on Friday while attempting to sell the stolen motorcycle. According to eyewitness accounts, the suspects allegedly confessed to the crime after being apprehended by members of the community. It was further gathered that the suspects were being taken to security operatives when a mob intercepted them near the Langtang North Local Government Council Secretariat and set them ablaze. The late monarch had recently received the motorcycle, which was later traced to the suspects.

Police, security sources dismiss alleged attack at Plateau burial ceremony By: Zagazola Makama The Plateau State Police Command has dismissed reports alleging that gunmen attacked mourners during a burial ceremony in the state, describing the claims as false and misleading. The command’s position corroborated earlier security reports by counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, which questioned the authenticity of viral videos and claims circulating on social media regarding the incident. In a statement issued on Tuesday in Jos, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Alfred Alabo, said no attack was recorded during the burial ceremony. According to him, the event was conducted under strict security supervision, with the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), police personnel and other security agencies present throughout the ceremony. “The claims are grossly exaggerated, inaccurate, and do not reflect the true situation on the ground,” the statement said. The police added that the burial was carried out peacefully without any external attack as alleged in some reports. Earlier, Zagazola Makama had also disputed the viral claims, alleging that the video being circulated was misleading and appeared to have been recorded by individuals within the gathering. According to the report, armed youths suspected to be members of local vigilante groups were seen firing gunshots within the burial ground during the procession, raising concerns over the proliferation of small arms among civilians. The report questioned how some of the youths gained access to firearms, including pistols and other weapons allegedly seen in the footage. Security sources said authorities were examining the circumstances surrounding the display and use of weapons at the gathering. Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police in Plateau, CP Bassey Ewah, has reinforced security in the area by deploying additional personnel, including mobile policemen, to prevent any breakdown of law and order. The police urged the public to disregard unverified reports capable of inciting panic and advised media organisations and social media users to verify sensitive security-related information before dissemination. The command reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding lives and property across the state.

Military Air Assets Decimate Terrorist Convoy, Neutralize Scores of Fighters in Coordinated Air Offensive Near Cross Kauwa By: Zagazola Makama The Nigerian Military, operating under the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), has recorded another significant operational success against ISWAP terrorists following a series of coordinated intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and precision air interdiction missions around Cross Kauwa and Ali Sherifti in northern Borno State. Zagazola Makama learnt that the operation dealt a devastating blow to terrorist logistics and fighting capabilities, resulting in the destruction of multiple vehicles and the neutralisation of several insurgents attempting to regroup within the Lake Chad axis. Sources said the mission commenced late on June 6 when an ISR platform established surveillance over a suspected terrorist hideout at Cross Kauwa, located along a network of tracks concealed within dense vegetation and scattered tree cover. Intelligence-driven reconnaissance revealed a significant concentration of terrorist activity in the area. Military sources disclosed that during the surveillance mission, operators positively identified approximately 12 vehicles concealed beneath trees and observed the movement of suspected terrorists attempting to evade aerial detection by moving between cover positions. The discovery pointed to what appeared to be a major terrorist staging area used for logistics, movement coordination, and possible attack planning.

Swift Troops’ Intervention Foils Attack on School, Saves Students in Kogi By: Zagazola Makama The timely intervention of security troops has prevented what could have been a major attack on students writing the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in Iluke Community, Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State. Eyewitnesses who spoke after the incident commended the swift response of the troops, saying their prompt arrival at the scene prevented the attackers from carrying out a mass abduction of students. The attack occurred when armed men stormed the community and started shooting where students were writing their examinations. According to eyewitness accounts, the assailants attempted to seize the students and move them into a nearby bush before security personnel responded to distress calls from residents. “The situation would have been much worse if the soldiers had not arrived when they did. Their intervention saved the students and prevented what could have been a major tragedy,” one resident said. Another eyewitness described the response of the troops as timely and professional, noting that the security operatives engaged the attackers and forced them to abandon their mission. The residents said the arrival of the troops compelled the attackers to retreat from the area. All the students were reportedly safe and unharmed and safely reunited with their families following the operation. Community members also praised local security volunteers and other security agencies that supported the operation. The incident, however, left the community in mourning following the death of three residents during the attack. Security sources said one of the attackers was neutralised during the exchange of fire, while several others escaped with gunshot wounds. A security operation is ongoing to track down the fleeing suspects and prevent further attacks in the area. Residents of Iluke Community expressed gratitude to the troops for their courage and sacrifice, describing the intervention as a decisive action that prevented a larger humanitarian crisis. They urged security agencies to sustain the ongoing operations and strengthen security presence in vulnerable communities across the area. The Kogi State Government has also commended the troops and other security personnel involved in the operation, assuring residents of its commitment to safeguarding lives and property.

Hunters rescue kidnapped herder, neutralise gang leader in Yobe By: Zagazola Makama A local hunters’ group has successfully rescued a kidnapped herder, Alhaji Babawuro, from captivity in Yobe State without payment of ransom, following a coordinated operation with security authorities. Sources told Zagazola Makama that the Babawuro, a resident of Kurbunga village under Shamka District of the Ngelzarma Emirate in Fune Local Government Area, was abducted at about 2:00 a.m. on Nov. 29, 2025, and taken to an unknown location. The sources said the incident was reported to the Damagum Police Division on Nov. 30, after which the kidnappers contacted the victim’s family and demanded a ransom of N50 million. “It was the fifth time the victim had been kidnapped, apparently due to his status as a wealthy herder,” the sources said. They explained that while negotiations were ongoing and the police were making arrangements to transfer the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation, the Special Adviser on Security Matters to the Yobe State Governor and the Emir of Ngelzarma held consultations with the Commissioner of Police. According to the sources, it was agreed that a hunters’ group with proven expertise in kidnap rescue operations should be engaged to assist the police. “The hunters subsequently took over negotiations, which were reduced to N7 million, while efforts were intensified to trace the kidnappers,” the sources said. They added that the hunters traced the victim and the kidnappers to Sandi village in Gulani Local Government Area. “At about 4:30 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 11, the hunters stormed the hideout and successfully rescued the victim without paying any ransom,” the sources said. During the operation, the leader of the kidnap gang, identified as Ahmadu Shuwa, also known as “Sumo,” was neutralised, while another suspect, Mohammed Bello, sustained gunshot injuries. The sources further disclosed that two other members of the gang were arrested and have confessed to the crime. The rescued victim, who has since reunited with his family, was treated at the State Specialist Hospital, Damaturu, and later reported the incident at the Damagum Police Station. Efforts are ongoing to recover the weapons used by the kidnappers ahead of handing over the suspects and exhibits to the Nigeria Police for further investigation and prosecution. The hunters’ group were commended for their role in the successful rescue operation.

ISWAP Confirms Elimination of Chief Photographer Abu Salim al-Barnawi By Zagazola Makama The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) has confirmed the death of its chief photographer and veteran raid commander, Abu Salim al-Barnawi, who was killed during a failed attack on a Nigerian military base last week. Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the terrorist group circulated an obituary announcing the death of Abu Salim al-Barnawi, confirming he was among the fighters neutralised by Nigerian troops during the encounter. Sources said Abu Salim was one of ISWAP’s most prominent media operatives, serving as the group’s chief photographer and videographer responsible for documenting combat operations and producing propaganda materials used for recruitment and morale. Before joining the group’s media wing, he reportedly commanded several cross-border raids into neighbouring Cameroon, where he led attacks against security forces before transitioning into media operations. His death is regarded as a significant blow to ISWAP’s propaganda machinery, as he played a central role in recording and disseminating the group’s operational footage and media content. The confirmation of his death by the terrorist group comes after Nigerian troops repelled the attempted assault on the military base, inflicting heavy casualties on the attackers and neutralising several key operatives. Security sources said the elimination of Abu Salim illiterates the continued degradation of ISWAP’s operational and media capabilities as military offensives intensify across the North-East.
