In a notable operation on November 6, 2023, the Nigeria Air Force (NAF) conducted air raids on Kwallaram and Arianna Ciki islands in Borno State, resulting in the elimination of at least 70 terrorists. Major General Edward Buba, the Director of Defence Media Operations, reported these successful strikes, emphasizing the effectiveness of the armed forces in combating terrorism within the region.
Further detailing the recent activities of the armed forces, Major General Buba highlighted that over the past week, a total of 169 terrorists were neutralized, alongside the apprehension of 641 criminals nationwide. The operation also led to the recovery of an impressive cache of armaments, including 192 high-caliber weapons and nearly 3,000 rounds of various ammunition types. This substantial recovery underscores the ongoing efforts to dismantle the operational capabilities of terrorist factions and bolster national security.
In addition to counter-terrorism efforts, the armed forces have made significant strides in addressing illegal activities in the Niger Delta region. General Buba reported the destruction of 83 illegal refining sites and the arrest of 40 individuals involved in oil theft. Noteworthy recoveries include over 914,000 liters of stolen crude, alongside significant quantities of diesel and petrol.
The recovery efforts also encompassed a variety of equipment associated with illegal refining, demonstrating the multifaceted approach of the Nigeria Armed Forces in tackling not only insecurity but also economic sabotage. Major General Buba assured the citizens of the commitment of the armed forces to maintain peace and security throughout the nation.
In conclusion, the recent operations reflect decisive action by the Nigeria Air Force and armed forces at large in addressing security challenges and reinforcing their determination to protect the integrity of the country.

Federal Government Declares State of Emergency on Suleja-Minna Road.

The Federal Government has declared a state of emergency on the construction of the Suleja-Minna road. Minister of Works, David Umahi, announced the declaration on Saturday following an inspection of the road. He stated that the project, initially awarded to Salini Nigeria Limited, had been poorly executed or abandoned.
Umahi explained that despite repeated attempts to have Salini repair the road over the past year and a half, progress had been unsatisfactory. Niger Governor Mohammed Bago raised concerns with President Bola Tinubu, prompting the Ministry of Works to intervene. The road, described as being “in a very terrible situation delaying travel time by seven hours instead of an hour and half hours and vehicles are falling and killing people,” has been designated an emergency project.
The contract with Salini has been irrevocably terminated due to substandard work. Umahi has directed his ministry to recover funds owed by Salini, potentially involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Two contractors are now engaged in the project. CCCC International Engineering Nigeria Ltd. has been contracted to handle part of the road, with 60km already completed under the Governor’s urban renewal agenda. CCCC has been given 10 days to mobilize and commence work on a critical 7km stretch. Umahi emphasized that work will begin immediately under emergency procurement guidelines, with pricing to be verified subsequently.
