[/b]Troops neutralise 10 terrorists, recover weapons, equipment in Dikwa-Marte axis – Army[b]

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have neutralised 10 ISWAP terrorists and recovered a cache of weapons and equipment in a successful night ambush along the Gamboru–Dikwa–Marte axis of Borno State.

The operation, according to the military, followed the neutralisation of over 50 insurgents in a previous encounter around the Katarko axis.

Lt.-Col. Sani Uba, Media Information Officer, Joint Task Force (North East) Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Maiduguri.

Uba said the troops of Sector 1, under 24 Task Force Brigade, executed a well-coordinated ambush that foiled a terrorist infiltration attempt from the Flatari axis into Gamboru Ngala.

He said after suffering heavy casualties, the insurgents diverted towards Dikwa but were intercepted again and neutralised in the Dikwa–Marte general area.

[/b]SOUTH AFRICAN AIR FORCE CHIEF VISITS NIGERIAN AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS[b]

The Chief of the South African Air Force (SAAF), Lieutenant General Wiseman Simo Mbambo, on 27 October 2025, paid an official visit to Headquarters Nigerian Air Force (NAF), Abuja, in a move that underscores the growing commitment of both nations to strengthening defence cooperation and advancing regional security. The high-level engagement provided an opportunity for both air forces to deepen discussions on key areas of collaboration, including technological innovation, training, logistics, aircraft maintenance, counter-terrorism operations, and operational synergy. The visit reflects the mutual resolve of Nigeria and South Africa to harness their shared capabilities toward enhancing peace, stability, and security across the African continent.

In his remarks, Lieutenant General Mbambo commended the NAF for its remarkable progress in modernising its fleet, improving aircraft serviceability, and advancing indigenous maintenance capacity. He reaffirmed the SAAF’s readiness to partner with the NAF in joint training, counter-terrorism initiatives, and technical exchange programmes. He further identified the critical area of driving indigenous technology development to address peculiar African challenges as key to achieving sustainable air power advancement on the continent. The SAAF Chief stressed that the increasing access of non-state actors to advanced military technology poses a common challenge to all nations, emphasising the importance of solidarity among African air forces in addressing these evolving security threats and safeguarding the continent’s collective defence interests.

Representing the Chief of the Air Staff, the Chief of Policy and Plans, Air Vice Marshal IH Etukudo, described the visit as a significant step in strengthening intra-African air power cooperation. He reiterated the NAF’s unwavering commitment to building strategic partnerships with friendly air forces across the continent, prioritising operational effectiveness, innovation, and capacity development. The visit not only deepens bilateral ties between Nigeria and South Africa but also reinforces a shared vision of a safer, stronger, and more united Africa through air power diplomacy, counter-terrorism collaboration, and mutual defence cooperation.

Look at Sudan. The Sudanese Civil war occurred due to disputes between the Commander of Sudan Armed Forces and the Commander of the RSF of Sudan right after a coup was carried out and the President was ousted. What are they fighting about…?? Who will lead Sudan and how will Sudan be led.

If Nigeria should experience a coup right now, it would be chaotic.
It could be that after the coup, that is when IPOB secessionists would be emboldened to pursue secession. Probably because one of the coup plotters is of South East origin.
A coup could also cause foreign interference and make foreign entities impose their policies on us (World Powers like US and China scramble for Africa). That is definitely not what we want.
Not to mention that the military, already overstretched in conducting internal security operations, would also have to deal with governance. It will overwhelm them and may cause frustration which in turn will make them pour that frustration on civilians.
Terrorists and Bandits would capitalize on the chaos resulting from the coup and attack and steal from vulnerable communities. Communities that don’t want to fall victim will be told to pay tax.
The country would be in a big soup.

Look at the AES states.
Mali’s security is deteriorating instead of improving. Military platforms are either being stolen or destroyed. Burkina Faso has little to negligible improvements in security and almost every news of the country’s development feels like propaganda. No much evidence to back them up. And then there is Niger, infamous for blaming Nigeria for its misfortune and accusing Nigeria of working with France to destabilize Niger. Wasn’t it Niger that said it had a list of terrorist sponsors from Nigeria and it was going to release it to the public. Till date they haven’t released anything.

Meanwhile, SaharaReporters had reported how military operatives raided the Abuja residence of former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, in connection with the alleged coup plot currently under investigation by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA).

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.

[/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.

[/b]“REMAIN VIGILANT AND COMMITTED TO DEFENDING THE NATION AS WE UPSCALE TO MEET EMERGING THREATS,” SAYS CAS[b]

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Nigerian Air Force (NAF), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, DFS, has charged newly graduated regiment personnel to remain vigilant and committed to defending the nation as the Service continues to enhance its capabilities to address emerging security threats. He gave the charge during the combined graduation ceremony of the Basic Regiment Officers Course 20/2025 and Basic Regiment Airmen/Airwomen Course 33/2025, held at the Regiment Training Centre (RTC), Kaduna, where 483 personnel, comprising 34 officers and 449 airmen/airwomen, successfully completed their training. Represented by the Air Officer Commanding, Air Training Command, Air Vice Marshal Ahmed Dari, the CAS emphasized that the NAF remains resolute in confronting insurgency, banditry, and other internal security threats through continuous capacity building and operational readiness.

Air Marshal Aneke reaffirmed his commitment to repositioning the NAF as a combat-ready and adaptive force capable of meeting evolving security demands. “Accordingly, we are revitalizing capabilities, developing new ones, and adapting processes to meet emerging security demands,” he stated. He commended the Commandant, staff, and instructors of RTC for their dedication to grooming the next generation of defenders of the nation’s airpower. The CAS urged the graduands to uphold the Service’s core values of loyalty, honesty, courage, and discipline, charging them to “protect all Nigerians and avoid any act that could tarnish the image of our great Service.”

The graduands, who completed the specialized Force Protection in Complex Air-Ground Environment training, demonstrated their proficiency through Krav Maga combat displays, precision drills, and rappelling exercises, showcasing enhanced operational readiness. Earlier, the Commandant, RTC, Air Commodore CO Olayera, lauded the NAF leadership’s commitment to building a capable and professional regiment, noting that the graduates’ skills will boost ongoing counterinsurgency and joint operations nationwide. The event was attended by senior military dignitaries including the Air Officer Commanding Ground Training Command, AVM AA Shinkafi and veterans. The Nigerian Air Force reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to inter-agency cooperation and synergy with other security services in the collective fight against terrorism, insurgency, and criminality, while remaining steadfast in its duty to protect the nation and uphold democratic values.

[/b]TROOPS THWART TERRORIST ATTACK ON FOB KANGAR, MALLAM FATORI, ELIMINATE SCORES[b]

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), Joint Task Force North East, have successfully thwarted a coordinated terrorist attack on Forward Operating Base (FOB) Kangar, located at Mallam Fatori in Borno State, in the early hours of Tuesday, 4 November 2025.

[/b]The attack, launched at about 0430hrs by Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists, involved the use of armed drones and mortar fire targeting the defensive positions of the base[b]. The troops, reinforced by the Main Force from the Battalion under Sector 3, displayed exceptional gallantry and tactical superiority to defeat the assault.

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

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.
