[/b]WAJIROKO TERRORISTS AMBUSH: BRIGADE COMMANDER LEADS TROOPS BACK TO BASE [b] Troops of 25 Task Force Brigade, on routine patrol to secure communities around Wajiroko in Azir Multe, Damboa LGA of Borno State, came under a sudden and heavy insurgents fire while returning from a successful patrol within the fringes of Sambisa Forest. The patrol team which was led by the Commander 25 Brigade Brigadier General M Uba and comprised troops of 25 Task Force Brigade and members of Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) courageously fought through the insurgents ambush with superior fire power, forcing them to withdraw in dissaray and to abandone their mission. During the encounter two brave soldiers and two heroic CJTF members paid the supreme price while on active service to the nation. While commending the troops for their gallantry, the Army high command commiserates with families and associates of the deceased gallants for their heroic sacrifice to the nation. [/b]The Army Headquarters also wishes to debunk the fake narrative going round some media platforms online alleging the abduction of the Brigade Commander. The general public is hereby advised to disregard the fake news regarding the incident while praying for the continuous success of our gallant service men and women[b] The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, Nigerian Army Medal, salutes the uncommon bravery, resilience and sacrifice of the gallant troops who have continued to operate in one of the most dangerous theatres of conflict on behalf of our dear nation. Their unflinching commitment, even in the face of grave danger, remains a powerful reminder of the daily sacrifices being made by our gallant service men and women to keep Nigeria safe.

[/b]NAF PRECISION STRIKES SHATTER HIGH-GROUND TERRORIST STRONGHOLD IN TSAFE, ZAMFARA[b] The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Air Component of the Joint Task Force of Operation FANSAN YAMMA has achieved a major operational breakthrough following precision air interdiction missions conducted on 14 November 2025 at the Sauri bandit camp in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State. The mission was undertaken after comprehensive intelligence and surveillance operations confirmed significant terrorist activity and rustled livestock concealed on a high-ground hideout used by the criminals as both a defensive position and a logistics hub. Acting on this intelligence, the Air Component executed multiple coordinated strike passes on the identified targets, achieving direct hits that dislodged surviving terrorists attempting to flee into surrounding vegetation, where they were subsequently tracked and effectively engaged. The successful mission resulted in the neutralisation of numerous terrorists and the destruction of critical structures and logistics points, significantly degrading the criminals’ operational capability in the area. This decisive action reinforces the commitment of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, who has consistently pledged that the NAF will “find them, hunt them down, and protect our people.” The operation underscores the unwavering resolve of the Joint Task Force and the NAF under Operation FANSAN YAMMA to deny terrorists safe havens, strengthen security in Zamfara State, and support wider national efforts to restore lasting peace and stability across the North West.

Our mission is clear: to hunt them down and to protect our people.” He underscored that decisive warfare must be matched with robust welfare, affirming that personnel safety, training, motivation, and equipment will remain top priorities. “A force that fights hard must also live well,” he said, reaffirming ongoing investments in modern capabilities, intelligence systems, and technology-driven operations to secure long-term strategic advantage in the air and on the ground. In his welcome remarks, the Air Officer Commanding Special Operations Command, Air Vice Marshal Ahmed Idris, assured the CAS of the troops’ unwavering readiness to actualise his strategic vision for the NAF. The Air Component Commander, Air Commodore CE Illoh, also briefed the CAS on the campaign plan, recent operational gains, and evolving strategies across the theatre. Accompanied by senior officers, the CAS toured operational and administrative facilities including the Operation, Engineering and Logistics areas as well as medical and sporting infrastructure, before holding an interactive durbar with personnel. “You represent the pride of our nation and the hope of millions who sleep in peace because you stay awake,” he told them. “This fight is about securing our future. Every flight must count, employing actionable intelligence to achieve a defined contribution to the overall campaign plan.” The visit reaffirmed the NAF’s commitment to decisive, intelligence-led, and precision-driven operations to protect Nigeria’s territorial integrity and its people. #NigerianAirForce #CASAneke #FANSANYAMMA #NAFOperations #SecureNigeria #DefendingTheNation #AirPower #NationalSecurity #SmartAndHardStrikes #ProtectingOurPeople 1 Like

Despite the initial use of drones and indirect fire, the troops held their ground, engaging the terrorists in a fierce firefight supported by close air support from the Nigerien Fighter Ground Attack platforms. The terrorists, overwhelmed by the superior firepower and coordination of the joint force, retreated in disarray into the waterways of the Tumbuns, evacuating several of their casualties. A post-battle exploitation of the area confirmed the neutralisation of six terrorists and recovery of the following items: Five AK-47 rifles; Eight AK-47 rifle magazines; 258 rounds of 7.62mm x 39 ammunition; Five RPG bombs; Four armed drone bombs; Five 36-type hand grenades; Two bandoliers and One Android phone [/b]Follow-on air interdiction by the Nigerian Air Force in conjunction with the Nigerien Air Force on the retreating terrorists further neutralised additional scores of the miscreants[b] A few personnel of the Joint Task Force Operation HADIN KAI and some members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) sustained minor injuries during the engagement. They have since been evacuated by Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) platforms for medical attention and are all in stable condition. The MNJTF also provided Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) support to enhance situational awareness for the ground troops. Exploitation operations are ongoing in the waterways and adjoining areas to track fleeing terrorists and deny them freedom of movement. Troops’ morale and fighting efficiency remain high as they continue to maintain dominance in the general area. The Military High Command commended the gallant troops for their resilience, courage, and professionalism in the face of adversity. The Nigerian Armed Forces remain committed to restoring peace and security in the North East region through sustained and coordinated operations.

[/b][/font]JNIM claims first attack in Kwara, four months after announcing new brigade[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][b] Al-Qaeda–linked militant group, Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), has claimed responsibility for an attack in Kwara State, its first in Nigeria, four months after announcing the establishment of a new brigade in the country. According to intelligence sources, the attack reportedly occurred in the northern part of Kwara, along the border corridor linking Niger and Kogi States. JNIM, which operates mainly in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, announced in June the creation of a new brigade for Nigeria, raising concerns about a possible southward expansion of jihadist influence. Zagazola said that the claim aligns with earlier intelligence warnings of cross-border infiltration through smuggling routes connecting Benin Republic and Niger. “JNIM’s latest statement describes the attack as the debut operation of its Nigerian brigade. If verified, this would indicate a dangerous evolution of the regional threat landscape,” the source said. Security operatives in Kwara, Niger, and Kogi States should intensify patrols and surveillance in response to the development, with reinforcements deployed to border communities. Military and intelligence agencies should work to identify possible linkages between JNIM operatives and local extremist networks. The incident comes amid heightened regional insecurity and the continued fragmentation of terror groups across the Sahel and Lake Chad Basin. Source: @zagazola

Multiple security sources confirmed to SaharaReporters that the raid occurred at Sylva’s home in the Maitama area of Abuja. According to insiders, a “special military team” carried out the operation after intelligence linked a “former South-South governor” to secret meetings allegedly held with some of the detained military officers. Sylva in a release had confirmed the military raid on his Abuja residence, while distancing himself from the alleged coup. Source; @SaharaReporters 1 Like |

Born on 20 February 1972 in Makurdi, Benue State, Air Vice Marshal Aneke hails from Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State. The son of Air Warrant Officer (Rtd) Sylvester and Mrs Ngozi Aneke, his early education at Army Children School, New Cantonment ‘A’, Kaduna (1976–1982) and Government College, Kaduna (1982–1987) laid the foundation for a disciplined and purpose-driven life. He was admitted into the Nigerian Defence Academy as a member of the 40th Regular Combatant Course and was commissioned into the Nigerian Air Force as a Pilot Officer on 10 September 1993, a journey that has since reflected brilliance, dedication, and steady ascension through merit. An erudite scholar and strategic thinker, Air Vice Marshal Aneke holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physics, a Postgraduate Diploma in Management from the University of Calabar, and two Master’s Degrees, one in International Affairs and Diplomacy from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and another in Political Economy and Development Studies from the University of Abuja.
