Today, We Celebrate an Empty Chair

On this Children’s Day, while parents across Nigeria hug their little ones in new clothes and share ice cream, the fathers and mothers of Ogbomoso have only tears.

It has been nearly two weeks since armed men dragged about 40 innocent pupils from their schools. Today, these children are not playing. They are not laughing. They are lying on the cold, bare ground in a hidden bush, waiting—hungry, terrified, and fading.

While we mark June 27th with speeches, let us not forget that for 40 children, today is not a celebration. It is another day of survival.

To the Government and Security Agencies: These are not just statistics. They are our future. Their cries for help are growing weaker. Bring them home NOW. Before their laughter is silenced forever.

Nigerian Troops Stop Terror Attack, Arrest Suspects, Rescue Kidnap Victims

In a major security breakthrough, troops of the Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI, have thwarted a co-ordinated terrorist attack by Boko Haram/ISWAP militants in Gajibo. The attackers, mounted on motorcycles and armed with support weapons, were forced to withdraw in disarray after swift mortar and heavy firepower.

Elsewhere, two suspected collaborators (both cattle herders) were arrested in Gubio town, while a logistics supplier named Umar Ahmadu was detained in Gwoza following intelligence from a surrendered terrorist associate. In a separate development, a 17-year-old family member of a terrorist surrendered after escaping from an enclave in the Mandara Mountains, citing sustained military pressure and lack of basic necessities.

Troops also rescued two male kidnap victims who escaped captivity near Mafa town. No military casualties were reported.

The Joint Task Force reaffirms its commitment to defeating terrorism and restoring lasting peace and economic stability across the North East region.

92 Civilians Rescued from Boko Haram in Daring Military Op | IED Ambush Foiled

In a swift and decisive counter-insurgency operation, troops of Operation HADIN KAI have rescued 92 kidnapped civilians along the Buratai–Kamuya road in Borno State, Nigeria. The victims – 52 males, 33 females and seven children – were being herded into bushland by BH/ISWAP terrorists when surveillance systems detected the attack. A Quick Reaction Force and reinforcements pursued the militants, forcing them to abandon their captives and flee. Three IEDs planted to ambush the advancing troops were safely detonated by an Explosive Ordnance Disposal team. All rescued civilians received welfare support and were escorted to Damaturu. No military casualties were reported. Watch for the full breakdown of this successful rescue and what it means for counter-terrorism efforts in north-east Nigeria.
