While Politicians Plot 2027, Nigerians Are Dying, CSOs Warn

A coalition of 95 civil society organisations has raised concerns over Nigeria's worsening security situation, accusing political leaders of focusing on the 2027 elections while thousands of citizens continue to lose their lives to violence across the country.

The groups made the remarks in a joint statement issued to mark the 9th National Day of Mourning, an annual citizen-led initiative dedicated to honouring victims of mass atrocities and violent attacks while demanding accountability from those charged with protecting lives and property.

Under the theme, "Nigerian Lives Matter," the coalition described the country's security challenges as a national emergency, stressing that the government's inability to effectively protect citizens amounts to a failure of its constitutional responsibility.

Citing data from the Mass Atrocities Tracker, the organisations said at least 19,980 people have been killed and 12,362 abducted in incidents of mass violence and attacks across Nigeria since May 2023.

The groups also noted that no fewer than 1,486 security personnel have lost their lives in the line of duty during the same period.

According to the coalition, the figures underscore the scale of a crisis that continues to threaten lives, livelihoods, and national stability.

The statement lamented that despite repeated warnings and visible patterns of violence, many communities remain vulnerable to attacks, while victims and survivors often receive little or no justice, compensation, or rehabilitation.

The organisations further warned that the impact of insecurity now extends beyond the death toll, affecting food production, education, and economic development.

They noted that persistent attacks have forced many farmers away from their farmlands, contributing to food shortages and rising inflation.

The groups also expressed concern over the increasing vulnerability of schools, revealing that at least 865 students have been abducted from educational institutions since 2023, while thousands of children remain displaced or out of school.

The coalition equally decried cases of extrajudicial killings, abuses by state actors, and civilian casualties during security operations, including incidents involving accidental airstrikes on communities.

While acknowledging the efforts of security agencies, the groups questioned the continued operation of kidnapping and ransom networks across the country, despite advances in surveillance technology and intelligence gathering capabilities.

While criticizing Nigeria's political leadership, the coalition said many political actors appear more preoccupied with electoral calculations for 2027 than with addressing the country's pressing security concerns.

The organisations argued that ongoing violence and the destruction of communities pose a direct threat not only to human lives but also to democratic participation and national cohesion.

As part of their recommendations, the groups urged the Federal Government to intensify efforts to protect lives and property, strengthen intelligence gathering and early warning mechanisms, prosecute perpetrators of violent crimes, dismantle kidnapping-for-ransom networks, and improve protection for schools, farming communities, women, and children.

They also called for increased humanitarian assistance, compensation, and psychosocial support for victims, survivors, and internally displaced persons affected by violence.

The coalition expressed solidarity with grieving families, abductees, survivors, displaced persons, and security personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty, insisting that the country's recurring tragedies must not be normalised.

"Every victim represents a life that mattered, a family left behind and a community altered forever," the statement said.

The groups warned that Nigeria cannot continue to gather annually to mourn victims while failing to address the root causes of insecurity and protect those still at risk.

Reaffirming their commitment to promoting accountability and amplifying the voices of victims, the organisations called on government at all levels to take decisive and measurable actions to restore public confidence and ensure the safety and welfare of all Nigerians.

IGP Disu Warns: Misleading Police Videos Undermining National Security

"We remain committed to accountability and transparency, but police officers carrying out lawful duties must also be protected from harassment and deliberate misinformation." IGP Olatunji Disu

Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Olatunji Disu, has warned that the indiscriminate recording and circulation of police-related videos, particularly misleading and manipulated content on social media, could undermine national security efforts, erode public confidence, and negatively affect the morale of officers on the frontlines of law enforcement.

The police chief issued the warning during an interactive session with members of the Crime Correspondents Association of Nigeria (CCAN) in Abuja.

Disu reaffirmed the Nigeria Police Force's commitment to accountability, professionalism, transparency, and respect for human rights, stressing that public scrutiny of law enforcement activities must be balanced with the operational realities and security responsibilities of officers.

According to him, while citizens have the right to demand accountability, the growing trend of indiscriminate recording of police personnel during routine and sensitive operations could interfere with operational effectiveness and discourage officers working under difficult conditions.

"Accountability is important, and we remain committed to transparency. However, recordings and public engagements involving police officers must be done responsibly and should not be used to harass officers or undermine operational effectiveness," he said.

The IGP noted that police officers continue to make significant sacrifices in the discharge of their constitutional responsibilities, often operating in high-risk environments to safeguard lives and property.

"Police officers operate under extremely challenging conditions, often risking their lives to protect citizens and maintain public safety. It is important that public conduct and media coverage do not discourage officers who are committed to doing the right thing," he added.

Disu also expressed concern over the increasing circulation of outdated, manipulated, and misleading videos falsely portrayed as recent incidents, warning that such content contributes to misinformation, fuels public anxiety, and could compromise ongoing security efforts.

"We urge members of the public and social media users to refrain from recycling old or manipulated videos capable of creating panic or undermining national security efforts. Such actions are harmful to the country's image and stability," he stated.

Highlighting the demands of modern policing, the IGP said officers across the country now work extended hours under significant operational pressure, far beyond the traditional shift system.

"We no longer operate the conventional policing structure of morning, afternoon, and night shifts. Officers work virtually around the clock under very difficult circumstances," he said.

He disclosed that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command lost approximately 140 officers last year through violent attacks, accidents, and other duty-related incidents, underscoring the risks associated with policing.

Despite the challenges, Disu reiterated the Force's zero-tolerance stance on misconduct, assuring Nigerians that any officer found culpable of wrongdoing would face appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with established laws and professional standards.

"We have consistently demonstrated our commitment to ending impunity within the Force, and we will continue to address complaints against personnel professionally and decisively. At the same time, officers carrying out lawful duties must also be protected from harassment and deliberate misinformation," he said.

The IGP further pledged sustained engagement with the media as part of efforts to strengthen transparency, improve public trust, and enhance communication on security-related issues.

He described journalists as strategic partners in promoting public safety and supporting national security objectives through accurate and responsible reporting.

Earlier, Chairman of the Crime Correspondents Association of Nigeria (CCAN), Festus Fifen, reaffirmed the commitment of crime correspondents to supporting national security through factual and responsible journalism.

"We are no longer just reporting violence; we are part of a system working towards building a safer society," he said.

Fifen called for deeper collaboration between the police and the media, particularly in ensuring timely access to credible information during security incidents to curb misinformation and speculation.

The engagement concluded with a renewed commitment by both the Nigeria Police Force and crime correspondents to strengthen cooperation in advancing public safety, promoting accurate security reporting, and supporting national development.

2027: Dan Nwanyanwu Unveils Six-Point Rescue Plan, Promises Unity, Security, Jobs for Nigerians

ZLP presidential candidate says his administration will tackle insecurity, revive the economy, improve electricity supply, and strengthen anti-corruption efforts

As political activities ahead of the 2027 general election begin to gather pace, the presidential candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Dan Nwanyanwu, has unveiled a six-point agenda aimed at addressing Nigeria’s security, economic, and governance challenges.

Nwanyanwu, who emerged as the party’s flag bearer, said his vision for Nigeria is anchored on national unity, security, anti-corruption reforms, power sector development, industrialisation, economic growth, education, and constitutional reforms.

Presenting what he described as a roadmap for rebuilding the nation, the ZLP candidate said restoring unity among Nigerians would be the foundation of his administration.

“My government will take urgent steps to unite Nigeria through inclusive governance, restoration of citizens’ rights, and the establishment of sustainable structures that will strengthen national cohesion and patriotism,” he said.

He expressed concern over growing ethnic and religious divisions, stressing that peace, stability, and development can only thrive in an atmosphere of trust and national cohesion.

On security, Nwanyanwu promised a tougher response to terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and other violent crimes.

He pledged to strengthen the operational capacity of security agencies, improve the welfare of security personnel, and ensure that criminals and their sponsors are brought to justice.

The ZLP standard-bearer also advocated the establishment of state and community policing structures to complement existing federal security arrangements.

“No nation can attain meaningful development in an environment of insecurity. Restoring law and order will be one of the defining priorities of my administration,” he stated.

Nwanyanwu further pledged a zero-tolerance stance on corruption, promising to strengthen anti-graft institutions and close loopholes that enable the diversion of public resources.

He vowed to improve accountability for recovered funds through anti-corruption efforts to boost investments in critical sectors such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, and social services.

The presidential candidate also identified stable electricity supply as a key driver of economic growth, promising reforms that would encourage private sector investment, boost power generation and distribution, and expand renewable energy initiatives across the country.

On the economy, Nwanyanwu said his administration would prioritise industrialisation, job creation, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

He pledged to improve the ease of doing business, reduce bureaucratic bottlenecks, and expand access to credit for entrepreneurs.

Nothing that empowering young people through innovation and entrepreneurship would reduce unemployment and stimulate economic productivity.

The ZLP candidate also promised to pursue constitutional and governance reforms designed to strengthen federalism by devolving more responsibilities to states and local governments.

In the education sector, he pledged to improve literacy levels, expand access to quality education, and encourage stronger participation by state governments and private institutions in the management of schools.

The six-point agenda, according to Nwanyanwu, focuses on National Unity, Security, Anti-Corruption, Power and Energy, Industrialisation and Economic Growth, as well as Education and Constitutional Reform, which he says will form the cornerstone of his administration if elected in 2027.

Political analysts say the agenda signals the ZLP’s early attempt to position itself as a contender in the race for Nigeria’s highest office, while offering voters an alternative vision for tackling the country's long-standing challenges.

NCS Alerts Public Over Fraudulent “Customs Authority” page

The Nigeria Customs Service has issued a public warning over a fake page operating under the name “Customs Authority,” which is being used to impersonate the Service and defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

In an official advisory, the Service clarified that the page is not affiliated in any way with the Nigeria Customs Service and is being operated by cybercriminals with the intent to mislead the public and obtain money or sensitive information under pretenses.

The Service expressed concern over the growing trend of digital impersonation targeting government institutions, noting that such activities undermine public trust and pose serious security risks.

The Nigeria Customs Service urged Nigerians to disregard any information, requests, or offers circulated through the fraudulent page, stressing that all official communications are issued strictly through verified platforms.

It warned that engaging with such accounts exposes individuals to potential fraud and identity theft.

“Members of the public are advised to disregard and report any unverified social media accounts falsely claiming to represent the Nigeria Customs Service. The Service remains committed to safeguarding citizens from fraudulent activities,” the advisory stated.

The Service reiterated that authentic information is only disseminated through its verified social media handles:

Women Leaders, Media Stakeholders Celebrate Moji Makanjuola at 70 in Abuja

Veteran broadcaster and gender advocate, Moji Makanjuola, has been honoured in Abuja as women leaders, media professionals, and civil society organisations gathered to celebrate her 70th birthday, paying glowing tributes to her decades of impact in journalism, health communication, and women’s empowerment.

The well-attended reception, held on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, was organised by a coalition of women-focused organisations to recognise her pioneering contributions to public interest journalism and gender advocacy in Nigeria and beyond.

The event attracted leading institutions and advocacy groups, including Women of Worth Global, the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Commonwealth Business Women Africa (CBW-Africa), the Maryam Babangida Centre for Women Development, the National Council for Women Societies (NCWS), Ego Beke Foundation, and other stakeholders in the gender and media space.

Former Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen, commended Makanjuola’s exceptional health reporting, noting that her depth of knowledge and clarity in storytelling often led many to assume she had a medical background.

“She reported health issues with such depth and clarity that she was often mistaken for a medical doctor,” Tallen said.

The Chief Organiser of the celebration, Dr. Betty Olutunde of Betnely Charity Foundation, who travelled from London for the event, described the celebrant as “a woman of exceptional grace, integrity, and selfless service whose impact continues to inspire globally.”

Also speaking, the Director-General of the Maryam Babangida Centre for Women's Development, Dr. Dayo Benjamin Laniyi, was represented by Dr. Ebi Emezue, who praised Makanjuola’s lifelong commitment to social justice and gender equality, describing her as a consistent voice for women’s advancement.

The NAWOJ National Chairperson, Hajia Aisha Ibrahim, represented by FCT Chairperson Comrade Bassey Ita Ikpang, described her as a committed mentor who has nurtured generations of women journalists and strengthened leadership within the profession.

Founder of Women of Worth Global, Pastor Comfort Adesoye, said Makanjuola’s mentorship has transformed countless lives, while Commonwealth Business Women Africa President, Ngozi Oyewole, described her as a beacon of inspiration within the advocacy and development ecosystem.

Representing the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Barrister Dele Atunbi, Deputy Director, described her as a stabilising force in the media industry whose guidance has shaped younger professionals over the years.

Former NUJ FCT Chairman, Amos Dunia, recalled her foundational role in the establishment and growth of NAWOJ, describing her as one of the key figures behind its institutional strength.

In an emotional remark, former NAWOJ President and publisher, Rtn Evelyn Onyilo, expressed gratitude for Makanjuola’s recovery from a serious illness last year, describing her presence at 70 as “a testimony of grace and divine mercy.”

In her response, Makanjuola thanked guests and organisers for the surprise celebration and used the opportunity to advocate for policy reforms that would allow spouses of diplomats posted abroad to access meaningful employment opportunities during foreign assignments.

She noted that many spouses are often compelled to pause their careers during international postings, a situation she said limits productivity and personal fulfilment, urging the government to adopt more inclusive policy frameworks.

She also called for stronger unity among women and renewed collaboration in advancing gender equality, leadership, and national development.

The celebration ended on a solemn note of prayers for her continued good health, strength, and wisdom, as guests reflected on a life defined by service, excellence, and enduring national impact.

Police Bust Facebook Scam, Recover N5.7 Million Defrauded from University Don

The Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) has arrested a 27-year-old suspect, Aliyu Muhammed, in connection with an alleged cyber fraud scheme that defrauded a university lecturer of N5.7 million through a fake Facebook marketplace operation.

The arrest followed a petition submitted by an Akwa Ibom-based university don, whose identity was withheld, alleging that he was deceived into making payments for household items advertised on a page known as “SHOPHOUSEHOLDITEMS.”

According to the Police, the victim responded to the online advertisement in March 2026 and was subsequently directed to continue negotiations through WhatsApp.

During the transaction, he made payments totaling ₦5.7 million into multiple fintech bank accounts for the purchase of the advertised items.

However, after the payments were completed, the goods were not delivered.

The victim was reportedly blocked from further communication, while the page used for the transaction was abandoned.

Following receipt of the petition, the NPF-NCCC launched an investigation, deploying its cybercrime investigative assets and leveraging cooperation from Meta Inc. to identify the individual behind the fraudulent account.

The investigation led operatives to Katsina State, where the suspect was apprehended.

Police authorities disclosed that the full sum of N5.7 million has been recovered, while investigations are ongoing to uncover the full scope of the fraud and identify other possible accomplices.

The suspect is being investigated for alleged offences bordering on computer-related fraud, identity theft, obtaining money by false pretence, and money laundering.

Reacting to the development, the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, reiterated the Nigeria Police Force's commitment to combating cybercrime and protecting Nigerians from online fraud.

“The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to combating cybercrime and safeguarding citizens from online fraudsters. We urge members of the public to exercise caution when transacting business on social media platforms, verify the credentials of sellers, and avoid making substantial payments to unverified accounts before inspecting the items being purchased,” the IGP stated.

The Police further advised Nigerians to remain vigilant when conducting online transactions and to promptly report suspected cases of cyber fraud to law enforcement authorities.

The arrest highlights the growing efforts of the Nigeria Police Force to tackle cyber-enabled crimes and enhance public confidence in the security of digital transactions across the country.

Lassa Fever Claims 204 Lives, 793 Confirmed Cases Recorded Nationwide - NCDC

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has confirmed 204 deaths and 793 laboratory-confirmed cases of Lassa fever across Nigeria in 2026, as the country continues to respond to ongoing transmission in multiple states.

In its Situation Report for Epidemiological Week 19, covering May 4 to May 10, 2026, the agency noted a slight decline in weekly confirmed cases, from 22 in Week 18 to 17 in the reporting week.

The new infections were recorded in Edo, Bauchi, Ondo, Kogi, Taraba, and Nasarawa States.

Despite the marginal reduction, the NCDC warned that the outbreak remains a significant public health concern, with a Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of 25.7 per cent, higher than the 19.4 per cent recorded within the same period in 2025.

The report indicated that 23 states and 108 Local Government Areas have recorded at least one confirmed case so far in 2026.

Bauchi, Ondo, Taraba, Benue, and Edo States collectively account for approximately 84 per cent of all confirmed infections.

The agency further identified individuals aged 21 to 30 years as the most affected demographic group.

It also confirmed one additional infection among healthcare workers during the reporting week, highlighting continued occupational exposure risks.

The NCDC described the sustained transmission as concerning, particularly in high-burden states, and emphasized the need for strengthened surveillance, early case detection, and improved community awareness.

Health authorities urged Nigerians to maintain strict hygiene practices, ensure proper food storage, avoid contact with rodents, and seek prompt medical attention at the onset of symptoms such as fever, headache, weakness, sore throat, vomiting, and in severe cases, bleeding.

The agency also advised healthcare workers to adhere strictly to infection prevention and control protocols to reduce the risk of hospital-based transmission.

Members of the public were encouraged to report suspected cases and seek guidance through the NCDC toll-free line 6232.

Troops Neutralise Terrorists, Rescue 179 Kidnap Victims in Nationwide Crackdown

The Armed Forces of Nigeria have recorded fresh operational victories across the country, neutralising terrorists and rescuing 179 kidnapped victims in coordinated offensives conducted between May 25 and 28, 2026.

The Defence Headquarters disclosed the development in a statement signed by the Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Michael Onoja.

According to the military, the operations targeted terrorists, kidnappers, armed bandits, and other criminal elements threatening communities nationwide.

Major General Onoja described the achievements as evidence of the military’s determination to restore peace and strengthen national security.

“The operational achievements recorded this week are a clear demonstration that the Armed Forces of Nigeria remain fully committed to restoring and sustaining peace across every part of Nigeria,” he stated.

Consequently, troops of Operation HADIN KAI in the North-East, also intensified offensives against Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters in Borno, Taraba, and Yobe States, neutralising several terrorists and recovering weapons and motorcycles.

The military also confirmed that sustained pressure on insurgent enclaves around the Mandara Mountains forced several terrorist collaborators to surrender.

This led to the rescue of four abductees kidnapped during an earlier attack on the Ngoshe community in Borno State by the Cameroon Defence Force and has since been handed over to Nigerian troops.

In the North-West, troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA destroyed terrorist hideouts, arrested a suspected Lakurawa member in Kebbi State, and rescued 31 kidnapped victims in Zamfara State after air strikes forced kidnappers to flee.

Under Operation SAVANNAH SHIELD, troops secured the release of 148 kidnapped victims, mostly women and children, who had spent more than three months in captivity.

In Kaduna State, troops of Operation ENDURING PEACE neutralised a notorious kidnap kingpin identified as Idi Yaya and foiled attacks by armed criminals in Kauru Local Government Area.

In a similar operation, Troops of Operation WHIRL STROKE also intensified operations against drug trafficking networks in Benue State, recovering suspected illicit drugs, vehicles, cash, and mobile phones linked to organised crime.

While in the South-South and South-East regions, security forces neutralised suspected kidnappers, arrested alleged IPOB/ESN kingpin Chinedu Opete, also known as “Dragon,” and recovered weapons alongside items bearing separatist insignia.

Reaffirming the military’s resolve, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, assured Nigerians that troops would sustain the offensive against terrorism, kidnapping, and violent crimes until peace is fully restored across the country.

Tinubu Unveils Massive Health Revolution, Deploys Ambulances Nationwide

President Bola Tinubu has launched a major healthcare expansion initiative aimed at strengthening emergency medical response and improving access to quality healthcare services across Nigeria.

The initiative, unveiled on Friday under the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare’s Renewed Hope Agenda, features the deployment of 145 tricycle ambulances, six boat ambulances, emergency communication systems, and dispatch equipment to enhance pre-hospital care nationwide.

Speaking at the presidential launch, the Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Iziaq Salako, described the programme as a significant milestone in the administration’s efforts to build a resilient and people-centred healthcare system.

“It is with profound honour and immense gratitude that I welcome President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and distinguished guests to this historic occasion marking the launch of critical health infrastructure and emergency medical assets under the Renewed Hope Agenda,” Salako said.

He added that the intervention reflects President Tinubu’s commitment to treating healthcare as a fundamental right and ensuring that quality medical services are accessible to Nigerians in urban centres, rural communities, and riverine areas.

“At the heart of these investments is a bold national vision where no Nigerian should lose their life because structured medical help could not reach them in time,” the minister said.

The launch also featured the commissioning of several major healthcare infrastructure projects across the country, including Emergency Operations Centres in Kano, Sokoto, and Katsina states, the Lagos Vaccine Hub, and upgraded primary healthcare facilities in Delta State.

Other projects commissioned include the Trauma Centre at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria; the Mental Health Complex at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital; the Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Technology Centre in Bauchi; the Laboratory Complex at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital; and the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Complex at the Federal Medical Centre, Abuja.

Salako disclosed that the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has lined up more than 100 projects to mark the third anniversary of the Tinubu administration, with selected projects across the six geopolitical zones approved for presidential commissioning.

According to him, the projects align with the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative and are targeted at strengthening emergency preparedness, disease outbreak response, trauma care, maternal and child health services, mental healthcare, and diagnostic capacity.

Highlighting achievements recorded in the health sector over the last three years, the minister said health insurance coverage has expanded by more than 33 per cent, while over 4,000 primary healthcare centres have been revitalised nationwide.

He added that the Federal Government has also established 15 new federal tertiary health institutions and delivered more than 500 specialist healthcare projects, including cancer centres and advanced diagnostic facilities, aimed at reducing medical tourism and improving healthcare delivery within the country.

Salako commended President Tinubu for his leadership and sustained support for the health sector, noting that the administration’s investments are laying the foundation for a stronger and more efficient healthcare system.

“With peace and plenty, Nigeria shall indeed be blessed,” he said.
