Shelve Planned Protests Against Service Chiefs, Groups Urges Yari "A group, the Zamfara Youth Indigenes Forum (ZYIF) have asked the former Governor of Zamfara State, Senator Abdulaziz Yari to stop the coordination of a planned protest against the Service Chiefs and the Ministers of Defence. The group, in a statement signed by Hayatu Jafarudeen, stated that some of its members had been called to join the protest, while being offered money to participate. “Our group has been reliably informed of a planned protest targeting the Service Chiefs and the Ministers of Defence, which, according to information available to us, is being coordinated by a serving Senator from Zamfara State." thejour.com/politics/shelve-…

Shelve Planned Protests Against Service Chiefs, Groups Urges Yari "This proposed protest does not serve the interests of the gallant men and women of our Armed Forces, who continue to make enormous sacrifices in the defence of our country. Neither does it advance the collective interest of the government, the APC, or the Nigerian people. It is particularly regrettable that such an initiative is allegedly being championed by a serving member of the ruling party. “A campaign aimed at discrediting the nation’s security leadership without regard for the ongoing efforts and sacrifices being made on the front lines risks weakening morale and emboldening those who seek to destabilise our country.” The Zamfara Youth Indigenes Forum (ZYIF) noted that despite the insecurity challenges being faced by the country, the government was not resting on its oars to address them" thejour.com/politics/shelve-…

ZYIF warned Nigerians against being manipulated by what it described as a politically motivated protest, stressing that campaigns aimed at discrediting security institutions could weaken troop morale. The group called for continued support for President Tinubu, the Armed Forces and security chiefs, citing recent gains against banditry and criminal networks as evidence that efforts to tackle insecurity are yielding results. thejour.com/politics/shelve-…

Nigerian Army, ONSA Tactical Team Neutralise Terrorist Kingpin Battijo, Over 15 Others in Kogi Troops of the Nigerian Army, working alongside the ONSA Tactical Team, have neutralised notorious terrorist kingpin Kachalla Ibrahim Battijo and more than 15 of his fighters in an intelligence-led operation in Kogi State. Battijo, believed to be the mastermind behind the recent church attack in Eruku, Kwara State, was killed on 10 June during a failed kidnapping operation. Subsequent clearance missions dismantled much of his network, with security forces recovering over 15 terrorist bodies. Kogi State Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, while briefing National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu on Monday, revealed that actionable intelligence and advanced surveillance assets were instrumental to the operation. He also disclosed that security agencies uncovered and foiled a plot by the terrorists to attack and abduct students writing the ongoing WASSCE examinations in Iluke, Kabba/Bunu LGA. The operation marks one of the most significant counter-terrorism successes in the North Central region in recent months, underscoring the growing impact of intelligence-driven coordination between the ONSA and security agencies.
